Nietzel's whole shtick is "college reform" i.e. dismantling and financialization. See his book "Coming to Grips with Higher Education." Mixing non-agitprop into the feed is part of agitprop.

Or better, just store keys and values in separate arrays, so you can have compact cache lines of just keys when probing.

Summary: they're pulling "starter homes" off the market, predominantly in nonwhite neighborhoods, and skimping more on maintenance/landscaping.

Relax the dynamic-memory restriction to "limit per-event memory allocation to the bump allocator" and it's still mostly true for many AAA/AAAA games I work on today.
