I appreciate the feedback! I'm trying to get better and comments like this genuinely help. Are you reading on a landscape tablet? I know the sizes of stuff are wrong on that form factor. Desktop and mobile shouldn't have the first

They’re also using PixiJS. The code for them is here: https://github.com/samwho/visualisations/blob/main/bloom-fil... Glad you like them, they were hard to get right :D

For me, syncing across machines and other shell sessions was enough to justify shelling out the $0 and 5 minutes it took to install and learn the tool.

Ooh that sounds fun. Something I spent time thinking about, but wasn’t able to find a huge amount of information on, is how you could use compression alongside bloom filters. You could make enormous bloom filters that make use of run length
