I improved the cache locality of the content matching step: Indexes are now split over 16KiB input blocks and use half as much memory altogether. This improved differencing speed by about 20%, finally exceeding 4 times the speed of the bsdiff crate.

@rygorous any kind of gelatinized starch would fit, I guess

Even better gelatinized starch + any fat.

- fondue (potato starch + stearic acid + casein)
- correct carbonara/cacio&pepe/gricia sauce (wheat starch + lecithin, oleic acid, casein)

Many Linux users have recently reported their fans running at full speed and high temperatures.

Some users report their Firefox browser is scoffing CPU power

Looking forward to #rustconf and #OxidizeConf, where I'll get a chance to dive into the details of the thought process and technical strategy that made this possible.

New Redis release, but with a twist.
It's the first release to include our #rustlang patches to Redis Query Engine!

In particular, it ships the new TrieMap implementation I wrote with Henk, as part of Mainmatter's ongoing collaboration with Redis.

@ruuda noisy hardware in the SSD or the USB port? what happens if you plug it on the work laptop next to the laptop?

New RCL 0.8.0 is out, with support for floats! This finally delivers on the json superset promise.

Try it out in your browser at https://rcl-lang.org/.
