hgrsdI implemented a two-pass algorithm for duplicate detection for duplik (see https://codeberg.org/hgrsd/duplik/pulls/2)
The idea being that on pass one, we don't actually read files or hash them, but only record their sizes. Then, on a second pass, we find files that share the same file size (i.e., potential duplicates), and hash only them.
This led to a >100x speedup on nested directories. E.g., looking through my home directory with a depth of 5 took 1.3seconds, versus 135 seconds on the previous implementation.
As a bonus, I shot myself with the footgun of calling .write() on a Writer instead of .writeAll() without realising that this doesn't guarantee all bytes are in fact written. You live and you learn.
two-pass duplicate detection
This PR changes the duplicate detection algorithm to be based on two passes. Pass one `stats` all files that are found in the directory tree, up until max depth, to get their file sizes. Pass two looks only at file sizes that have >1 files associated with them, as only files that share the...

Bryce DixonQuick cellular automata prototype/concept.
I'm thinking about an idle game where you collect and combine lots of resources, but the source of those resources is a cellular automata grid, so you have to balance their interactions to create efficient generators.
In this case, plants consume water, fire consumes plants and produces ash, and water quickly fills space.

Zuri (he/him) ❌️👑 | 🕐 CETOne problem with #vibeCoding and other heavily #AI-assisted ways of #programming is: The people you hired are (or should be) professionals in #softwareEngineering—they got a degree or equivalent and you did a job interview with them to verify that. But then, #artificialIntelligence came and there were no workflows and no guidelines. Everybody is back at improvising and having their own way of doing things. And like other things without structure, some will have a shitty workflow.
