I wasn't very impressed by the reporting quality in this article, but it seems as though there are some other reviewers of the book were much more thorough in their critique. Emi Nietfeld writing for Mother Jones has more detail and ac

This reminds me of Zobrist hashing [1] in chess engines. In fact, if you split the sum into 256 columns (instead of 8) and set the prime to 2 for each column, I think it's essentially the same. I'd be curious to see some quantitat

Thanks for making this! I got an invite to contribute some time ago but didn't have the time to put something together - it looks amazing though; I'll have to figure out something good next time.

I did think about that! However, I didn't like the idea of making the client side do work to make up for my own poorly-managed website. Forcing users to run code just to render some boring text seems like a waste.

Cargo currently has `cargo tree`, which prints out a dependency tree. There's an extension to cargo which also shows how many people have the ability to push to your dependencies, titled `cargo-supply-chain`. https://github.

The implementation of `sleep` [1] decides the wake up time by when `sleep` is called, rather than when its future is polled. So the first task waits one second, then the remaining tasks see that they have already passed the wake-up time and

It's a little odd that they're using `lazy_static` now that OnceCell and LazyLock are in the standard library.

Another possible solution for this use case: let each capacity graph store a “dummy” `HashMap<N,(u128, u128)>` for the case where the key is missing. Then, return an iterator over the empty dummy to get an iterator of the same type. I

I would argue the opposite: the problem is that our languages give us only rudimentary tools to represent data in SoA styles, which makes them difficult to apply for efficient processing. In other words, it's not SIMD's fault but

This is really excellent work, and a great write-up. I think it would definitely be possible to speed up a lot of the algorithms with some tricks. Replacing hashmaps with bitmaps and byte-index arrays for character painting and ascii-to-var

note - "chess" is not a Germanic word (deriving from the Arabic شَاه (shah), meaning king). Ironically enough, it comes to English via the Old French eschés, meaning that "lichess" is arguably made from entirely French r
