Hello, and welcome to a new issue of Links list! More non-technical links than usual this time.

Modern sort algorithms Link to heading

A very interesting comparison between very data-tailored sort algorithm versus modern generic ones. Spoiler: it’s almost never worth writing a specific radix-sort, because generic sorts are amazing and tuned so carefully.

V8 making JSON.stringify faster Link to heading

A very interesting blog post from the V8 team on how JSON.stringify was made about twice as fast. The craziest thing to me was that adding a fast-json-iterable flag on the hidden classes of objects was worth it!

Modern approach to frontend architecture Link to heading

I haven’t done much frontend in the last couple of years, but this post sounded pretty interesting to me. My blog is a static website, that loads instantly, and it’s something that I’m very proud of.

Run a browser in the terminal over ssh Link to heading

Hacker news is a fantastic website for many reasons, one of which is the delightful little gems that sometimes hit the frontepage, like term.everything - a way to run any UI app in a terminal. It’s next to useless, but I am so happy it exists!

What I crave from blogs Link to heading

I’ve just noticed that my own little blog has more than one hundred posts by now. It’s been incredibly helpful for my career and really fun, and it feels like my way to give back. I have been reading oh so many blogs over the decades and learning so much - my RSS reader folder contains about 400 sources by now! And I totally agree with the author - the beautiful thing about most personal blogs is that you get the real voice of a person, not company marketing. And that’s refreshing, especially compared to your average LinkedIn feed.

Drinking every cocktail Link to heading

A very fun read about trying to drink all the cocktails on the official International Bartender Association official cocktail list. Congratulations to Adam, it’s not an easy feat apparently!

No Hello Link to heading

I have put this as status message in ${crappy chat program I am forced to use} for a while now. It has helped. Your mileage may vary though. 😁
