I think about 20-100 times faster. Not for the whole program, just for the data access part.

People love the idea of 'zero copy' but 'zero allocation' is where the real gains are. Memory allocators are complex and sometimes slowish things.

I've imagined a library that manages normally cloned data (mostly strings) by owning them in some global singleton object and handing out Arc references to them (actually has to be offsets, not actual references, if you want to persist and restart your code). Mainly so that I don't have to do .clone() and .to_owned() all the fricking time feeling like I'm slowing down the code, and so I can impl Copy on all the structs and as a side effect you could access them directly in LMDB without serialization. That system also has to persist to LMDB.

The night is the other half of life, and the better half.

I'm not sure I ever disclosed this, but I work everyday along people from public offices.

I swear, I never encountered so small-minded people, literally the definition of "working within the boundaries of what I've already done in the past because I have no mental elasticity at all to deal with something new or complex".

Nostr (and Bitcoin of course) is a happy place, plenty of smart people lurk and write here, devs are phenomenal and brilliant, thinking outside the proverbial box to resolve unexpected problems and it's magical being, if not a part, a spectator of it.

But when I close my client and go back to my job, a deep sense of frustration comes back to haunt me. How can being so illogic, listless and lazy be so frequent among these people?

Is a requirement for the job or is something you become after many years of knowing that your job is secured no matter how shitty your attitude and performance is?

I'm not sure these people want salvation.

Sorry for the rant, I don't mean to spread negativity, it's just a question that's floating in my mind for a while.

Pura vida ☀️🫂💜

Thanks for pushing me in this direction, i was debating weather to go the simple route with sqlite, but since nostr is so restricted in its data format i feel like a custom DB with a dedicated mapping would work well.

Thinking of trying out QubesOS. Anyone got any particular sites or guides they recommend besides the docs/faq on the official site?

Much appreciated!

Wait till you hold down the emoji button and figure out you can preselect emoji icons... 🤯 just like zap amounts 🤣🤣

The hugs make up for it though! 🫂

Use signers like nos2x or alby to not entrust your nsec with anybody.

satellite.earth and primal.net are the goats as desktop client and pwa

A precious life teaching that applies to basically everything: no pain, no gain.

Don't give up! The UX is still a little clunky, but you'll get the gist of it pretty quickly.

Also, as Gigi said, the hugs make up for a difficult experience 🫂🫂🫂

Follow yourself too, so that you can see your own posts. Just experiment and things will make more sense.

Definitely, I am feeling the warmth after stumbling around in the dark & cold!

Which client(s) are you using?
