Is not vim a tool from an age of very much different terminals to what we have today, with different limitations that are no longer actual? Yearly(!) emergence of new tutorials trying to finally explain how to navigate with vim is a consequ

I agree that simple rewriting could have given some if not all perf benefits, but can it be the case that rust forces us to structure code in a way that is for some reason more performant in some cases? 5-15% is a big deal for a low-level f

Nevertheless Russinovich actually says something in the lines of "simple rewriting in rust made some our code 5-15% faster (without deliberate optimizations)": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VgptLwP588&t=351s

What exactly is wrong here? If workers don't want that control, well, they can look for another place. Companies are not supposed to solve social problems like how people care for children. After all, are there any workforce troubles

Its great they acknowledge this in their notes, but it does not make the service more useful/reliable or accurate. At least they could have tried picking translations for matching parts of speech (nouns, verbs etc), and it would have b
