While recounting my internal #Brain #DataAccess #CacheMisses and struggles with ever-worsening #Search EngineUselessness (see https://mastodon.social/@morgant/116273597862434562) to Emily, she described her never having been able to remember the name of #GreenDay's song #BrainStew. She remembers _everything_ , especially music & lyrics, so this is a fascinating outlier.

My hypothesis is: the lyrics not containing the song title, plus the age & method of the memory formation (CD players only showed track number.) 1/N

I’ve been doing object-oriented programming since 1994. Now, 30+ years later, I’m starting to question the #oop approach. Not because it’s bad, I find it a great structure, and matches my way of thinking, but when it comes to raw performance, things like cache locality and memory layout starts to matter more and more. So I might look into #ECS and other data-oriented designs to see what they offer. Not to make anything specific, but I just need to know. 😄
