I think the author of ripgrep knows a thing or two about processing bits and bytes.

It is more decentralized, though? It's also more expensive to perform a 51% attack against it. https://i.redd.it/5lhlmwdg27j91.png (imgur mirror: https://imgur.com/a/eGNG7r0 )

You're misunderstanding his post. He's saying that if such a US-centric thing threatens the entire system, the system shouldn't exist at all. It will have failed at its mission to be decentralized and thus has no reason to e

Interesting! +H wasn't a thing when I stopped using IRC/writing bots. InspIRCD (and its amusing default config file) was the daemon I always used. Looks like my client of choice (irssi) never added support for this feature.

If your hardware sucks, try Akula instead of geth/erigon. It can supposedly sync on spinning rust with low IOPS. Unless you're running a full archive node, you don't need 2tb. My geth dir is under 700gb. Do a snap sync the

IRC daemons aren't saving PRIVMSGs and other events to disk. They send them to the target user/channel and then that memory is freed. This comparison makes no sense.

Sure, it's the same amount of work, but you're forced to do it and the compiler will be able to reject invalid programs. In languages that allow null (including TS, it doesn't 100% enforce the stuff that Haskell, etc. does),

Read about sum types. They exist in Haskell, Rust, OCaml, Typescript, Swift, Kotlin, etc. You are likely only familiar with product types without knowing they're called product types. (Cartesian product) You can have 100% type-safe,
