Most people are using a prebuild standard library. That comes with the problem that it comes with the features it was build for. Most of the bloat around panic for example can be eliminated by just compiling the std library yourself. This is done via the `-Zbuild-std` flag.

Using this flag one than can use `panic_abort`. This will eliminate the unwinding part but would still give a "nice" printout on a panic itself. This reduces, in most cases, the mention bloat by a lot. Though nice printouts also cost binary space. For eliminating that `panic_immidiate_abort` exists.

But yeah the above is only about bloat and not the core goal to eliminate potential path's in your program, that would lead to a panic condition itself.

Also currently building the std library yourself needs a nightly compiler. There is afaik work on bringing this to a stable compiler but how exactly is still work in progress.
> But to answer your question more directly, you should use a money that loses value because its purpose is as a medium of exchange and not a store of value

That's an odd definition of money. The ancient Greeks already thought that money is medium of exchange AND a store of value, and throughout history people have preferred money that held its value. It's also circular reasoning. A medium of exchange should lose value, so you should use money that loses value.

> you can instead "buy" a savings, or "buy" an index fund

So money that loses value creates inefficiencies in the economy, because people have to waste time worrying about preserving their wealth, investing, etc.

> You struggle with letting go with your currency

I still need to eat, to live somewhere, I want to experience things, a money that increases in value does not destroy my desire to consume.
Bukele says on Twitter they're still buying Bitcoin.
Roughly the same problems as C++ interop, you can't map common Rust concepts (like error unions, optionals, tagged-union enums, ptr/length-strings, traits) to C APIs without an intermediate shim which does potentially expensive and brittle marshalling, and the C-API is also a 'visibility barrier' for the Rust compiler when it comes to Rust concepts like RAII and ownership tracking.
But Bitcoin qua payment network is/was a major part of the Bitcoin value proposition—what a Bitcoin _is_ is an entry in a distributed ledger.

Whereas USD is ultimately bearer tokens. Yes, those tokens can be optimized away as entries on a balance sheet when held by a large entity. But USD is a token system, not a payment network. Bitcoin is the opposite.

As with many of these things, I've seen it time and time again; the initial setup can be simple, perhaps that's a good thing for an org that needs to get moving quickly, but very soon you start to see the limitations and the more advanced stuff just isn't possible and now you're stuck, locked in so have to rebuild from the ground up.

Sometimes you have to do the (over) engineering part yourself, so that someone else isn't making the decisions on your behalf.
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,

With conquering limbs astride from land to land;

Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand

A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame

Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name

Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand

Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command

The air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame.

"Keep, ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries she

With silent lips. "Give me your tired, your poor,

Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,

The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,

I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"

China unveils US tariffs and Google investigation in response to Trump levies
Yes, I had read London's Call of the Wild, as a kid. Good one too.
yes, that old "i didn't have s-x with that woman". Nobody cares for that specific definition. CRISP-ering human receptor binding protein onto a non-human coronavirus in such a way that the resulting virus starts to infect and kill human cells is a "gain of function", plain and simple. And thus Fauci lied. It was his professional duty to add to his answer that the gain of function they funded in Wuhan that the Congress was asking him about isn't fitting whatever narrow technical definition NIH uses. So, even if to take your position, it would mean that Fauci lied by omission.

And btw https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK285579/

" “gain of function research of concern,” includes the generation of viruses with properties that do not exist in nature."

So, even NIH defintion does cover Wuhan. So, Fauci lied. Blatantly. Even by NIH defintion.

And this

https://www.phe.gov/s3/dualuse/documents/gain-of-function.pd...

"Gain-of-function studies, or research that improves the ability of a pathogen to cause disease,"

The last link is exactly that 2014 document based on which the gain of function research was moved from US to in particular Wuhan. And Fauci was instrumental in that move.

Edit: to the commenters below who cares so much about the definition that Fauci uses - please do tell what is that magical definition which doesn't match even the NIH documents (see the links above).

Interesting move!

If they can demonstrate they would offer better conditions than 90% of US jails (private or public) and would cost less than half why not?

Could be voluntary too:

- Prisoners who want better conditions could ask to be moved to El Salvador for the duration of their stay

- Prisoners who have regular visitors or any other reason to stay within US just don't
I think a lot of people just want to give the current administration a chance. Half the country wanted him, and if it wasn't this, it would be an actual civil war eventually.

However, isn't it a bit naive to presume the current administration would relinquish power and allow for a peaceful transfer of government in the end?

I hope I'm wrong but all the evidence and data is pointing to a decline of America and the American-led world order. What's more concerning is, as the economy and social climate continues to decline, people will be far less tolerant and accepting of each other. I'm concerned a lot of the horrible historical trends of the past will repeat.

A lot of things are happening that you just can't recover from, like at all. And some things, like relations with Canada and the EU may not recover for like a generation.

I suspect, history will look at the past few months as the time when the cold war was really won. I mean, even on HN, the majority were against the tiktok ban, if that isn't defeat, what is? Imagine not banning propaganda radio from Russia and china during the cold war. The most crucial victory America's enemies achieved is convincing American voters they're no longer their enemies. American voters mostly think it's a fight between governments or politicians, they don't get that the hostility includes the day to day people of the nations involved.

The question really (to me at least) is, is the war already lost and we just need time to process the loss? or can it still be fought? I don't know how, it will be decades of trying to avoid an actual civil war, can America really withstand being torn apart, when even something like banning tiktok is impossible?

I can understand how looking at the greatness of this nation and its might it can be difficult to imagine it's fall and decimation. can congress and the supreme court put aside their own short-term gains to save their country? Will states continue to want to be part of the union, despite disaster aids being withheld and American citizens being deported (yes, this is happening)?

And who would come after trump, now that trump has paved the way? it will take him his entire term fully gutting the government and lining up the military. I suspect his replacement won't need votes.
Because paying to build society and help those around you to a better life through shared resources is something you should be angry about?

It's not taxes that are the problem per se it's fuckwits like Boris Johnson's cronies that think taxes are theirs to garnish and use any chance, even a global pandemic, to steal every dime they can lay their hands on.
Do you actually expect serious responses to your hyperbolically emotional and sarcastic posts? Well, here goes…

The only implementation detail I would change is the flat rate of $20 million. I would peg it to something like GDP per capita or average CoL multiplied by some number of years.

People have come from nothing and gone on to do amazing things. If you can’t get some kind of profit generating company off the ground or at least passive income through wise investing with that kind of windfall, then you quite frankly deserve to work in the proverbial widget factory with the unwashed masses. To wine about that betrays the lack of grit that probably lost you the nest egg on the first place.

The best entrepreneurs are the ones that are interested in learning and building amazing things. The ones in it to hoard wealth saddle the world with bullshit because it’s a bullshit incentive that requires bullshit mechanisms to protect their income stream. Think patent trolls.

If you want to see what fair looks like in nature, look at what every other animal beside humans get when they start life: the risk that around every corner lies a disease, predator, competitor, starvation, grave injury… What presumably sets humans apart and allowed us to thrive is cooperation on larger and larger scales throughout our evolution. Hoarding wealth is antithetical to the very thing that is supposed to make us an exceptional species.
Lightning uses incentives to keep nodes online, so it wouldn't be too difficult to leverage those incentives for Nostr with Zaps (earning a couple of sats per message for running a node and losing them if it goes offline for instance). However this would require a decentralized consensus system to assess node reputations.

I see no NIP for node incentives, perhaps this should be discussed further.
Most developers aren't sysadmins and most sysadmins don't work closely with their developers.

After you factor that in most of the disasters of this type involving the cloud or home spun rust are easily explained away.

The former are missing skills that should have been beet into them by any decent education and the later is normally overwhelmed and in need of a team to replace them.

I'm also looking into using S3 glacier for my server backups. It appears to be the cheapest option.
It is apparently aimed at large-scale, foreign-run piracy sites, and there's a detailed court process.

Translation; it's an ISP Section 230 ( and how's that working, with everyone bitching either about censorship or illegal threats, hate and porn in profusion right here in River City?) for the music/film/sports industry.

Due to the complexity, small producers be damned. And other fallout, but big money rules.

To relate more to the HN crowd. It's like opening a new project and the initial reaction is everything is terrible. Then as someone understands the project better they see it's not terrible, but the problem is much more complex than they initially understood. Basically classic engineer hubris.
I had experience in the past of LLMs not replying to perfectly legitimate questions because it "feared" that the reply would be illegal in some jurisdiction. After receiving an explanation that its fumigations about legality were completely dumb, it finally answered.

They can be very confused about what information they should believe they should conceal.

A dumb interlocutor that stubbornly refuses to provide information because it has the mindset of an infant is less than useful, it is just another expression of the arrogant mediocrity.

I studied an BSc in genetics and none of our lectures or textbooks presented mitochondria any differently from the classic bean shape they introduce in school. This is surely old news to folks who specialise in mitochondria, but it's easy to miss out on these fundamentals even if you've studied in a relevant area at degree level, because there's just so much to know in biology.

In fact, it's one of those fields where the more you learn, the more you realise we'll never reach a satisfactory understanding in our lifetime. You could chuck an endless supply of PhD students at every constituent domain for generations and still feel like you've scarcely scratched the surface of the many things there are to question.
That is not a currency in the same manner that gold isn't a currency or barrels of oil isn't either. Or in other words, you don't use for buying a coffee or grocery.

There are more things backing up the value rise for that old tech. Just please diversify into other areas so you don't come out empty handed in some years from now.

> presidents can, at alarming rates, and completely openly to the public now just pardon anyone for anything

It's wild how badly Biden screwed the pooch on this one. Campaigned in 2020 on keeping Trump out of office. Not only failed at that (he's more dangerous than he would have been with a narrow margin in '20) but also blew the precedents he claimed made Trump dangerous.

Alternate history has Biden forcing the Congress and states' hands by issuing a blanket pardon for all federal inmates, effective some time in the future, unless a Constitutional amendment is ratified by X date.

1. > However, customers still get a lot of value out keeping downstream systems synced with their warehouse tables. For instance, you can define which people you want to receive different campaigns and make sure that's consistent across all your ad platforms.

Ah thank you that's a very helpful example for understanding your product.

2. > Some people have warehouse tables with many billions of rows.

I don't doubt customers have multi billion row tables in their CDWs but I guess I'm not seeing why you would need to send billions of rows to FB (or any other downstream system that isn't an OLAP database) rather than some much smaller payload distilled from that data via an ML model or SQL query. I admittedly have never run a FB ad campaign but Meta has 3.35 billion daily active users [1] across all of their products. If they are sending billions of rows to FB, do your customers have individualized ad campaigns for every single FB user? Perhaps I'm just not familiar enough with the state of modern digital advertising.

3. > If you have a billion rows, you need to hit a very high rows per second number in order to run a sync in a feasible amount of time.

I wonder why do you have to send billions of rows to FB every time? Surely you send it once for initial setup and then incrementally sync smaller deltas? And presumably your customer is OK with the initial setup being slower. Unless your customer is doing billions of writes to their CDW in between syncs?

Thanks for taking the time to explain!

...Seems more like the EU reserves that power to itself, which I'd argue is even worse
Hmm...there are other countries on that list...who spend more relative to their GDP. So not exactly "the world's ATM".

And of course the rest of the world finances the US economy and US debt by virtue of the US dollar being both the currency of international trade and reserve currency. And it is reserve currency by virtue of being the currency of international trade.

That is a far, far greater monetary value than the aid given out.

Which you can also tell by what happens to you if you start to use another currency for trade. "Would you like some regime change to go with that?" Or how the US fights the Euro tooth and nail, including sabotage.
that doesnt hold for a deflationary currency

You were discussing "structural" inflation, referring to Bitcoin as a system, not relative to inflation of goods and services in a specific economy. These are two distinct economic phenomena that can influence each other but should not be conflated.

Bitcoin's supply doesn't become inflationary or deflationary "structurally" based on the growth of x or y economies. The word inflation is used for both concepts but, structurally, Bitcoin will remain an inflationary system until around year 2140... then block subsidies are going to to stop, no new bitcoins are going to be emitted and then you (or more likely our descendants) can call Bitcoin a structurally deflationary money. Hence the use of the word disinflationary, it currently is in the process of becoming a deflationary system by progressively reducing the inflation of its own money supply (through "halvings" approx. every 4 years).
