addendum: if you're like 'when could you want this?', imagine you are deserializing from a Reader which has an internal circular buffer or something from the network (bounded) and you want to limit a peers total resident memo

one thing that has kinda irked me about serde is that there's relatively limited support for bounding memory usage for types like a Vec<T> at deserialize time without a lot of manual work. It is doable (e.g. see SafePSBT deseri

I've heard around the net that bitcoin can't really scale in terms of raw # of users -- even with LN, it's pretty capped (same number of users, but more txps). If I want to build a web-scale startup how could I rely on someth

You should blog this with a bit more detail somewhere; haven't seen any of this referenced in articles I've read prior on Burning man! Bonus points if you find the photo!

I think this article lacks an actual history of the event as opposed to the meaning people seek at the event today. It's my recollection -- from speaking with some long time san francisco residents -- that the original burning man was

Hi Bunnie! Curious if you also have a power usage comparison, which I'm guessing is also relevant in the mobile context.

Yeah, it's also just simpler in general. E.g., Alice and Bob request that coinbase pay them into a channel. Coinbase can just do it according to the instructions from Alice and Bob, and Alice and Bob can be offline thereafter.

Yep! It's an e-dsl essentially, since you write a program and it compiles to bitcoin transactions. Sapio is turing complete (trivially, you can call any program you can write in regular rust from a Sapio contract). However, the outp

I don't think that there is much of a TA benefit -- you make a request (and let's assume it's just a packet count/timing analyzer) and 10 packets burst out of your device to Mighty, then 10 packets burst out from Mighty

Care to elaborate? This is strictly worse for privacy than a VPN run by the same company, no?

Not a fan of the privacy implication of using such services, maybe an open source self hosted version would be cool.

It sounds like your gripe is more with the American system than with Israel. For what it's worth, Israel may be a chihuahua, but the reason that a chihuahua holds it's own with the big dogs is because the chihuahua has more at sta

Yes, Israel attacks Iranian enrichment. So does the US. Attacking enrichment centers that aim to produce warhead material is acceptable foreign policy, especially against a nation that calls Israel a cancerous tumor needing to be destroyed.

I've been working on a reasonably complicated project that is using rust, and I think about de-asyncing my code somewhat often because there are some nasty side effects you can see when you try to connect async & non async code. E.
