It has two main features: It can use very little memory (target <100mb for reasonable projects). There are caveats, these are described below. It allows immediate indexing after restart: if your project was indexed, restarting the editor will not require re-indexing. Your browser does not support embedded videos. You can download the recording instead.…

Three important steps in my maturation process โ€“ Thomas Dullien / Halvar Flake

๐Ÿš€ Check out this insightful post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: My father passed recently, and he was twice my age. I am approximately the same age that he was when I was born, and I am now โ€œthe old generationโ€ - thereโ€™s no one left in the generation above me. At the same time, I recently joined a company that skews younger-than-me. When I joined Google in 2011, I had just turned 30, and was in the mainstream demographics of Google in 2011. There were a bunch of more senior folks, with the very…

๐Ÿš€ Read this trending post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ’ก **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: The other day, I saw a viral tweet saying that people talking about how LLMs are causing slow, bloated, code are going to eat crow once they re-write everything in super-optimized assembly. We're not quite at the point where we want to write everything in assembly, but some variant of what Nolan Lawson said about testing, you can choose how many bugs you want now, which I less eloquently noted here, is becoming more true for performance. In response to a comment in my last…

HN: the good parts

๐Ÿ”ฅ Explore this awesome post from Hacker News ๐Ÿ“– ๐Ÿ“‚ **Category**: ๐Ÿ“Œ **What Youโ€™ll Learn**: HN comments are terrible. On any topic Iโ€™m informed about, the vast majority of comments are pretty clearly wrong.
