Good job, this looks really well done. One thing I am wondering, however, is how easy it would be to integrate a pre-generated inverted index file into this fuzzy searcher? Context: Say I have a bunch of blog posts from which I create an in

I don't get it why the Microsoft Word team didn't create a good looking default template that people could just use without any fiddling necessary. They had more than 20 years at this point to create something that looks pleasing

Thanks, I thought it was a bug in some app and just wanted to be sure, so I don't have to babysit the server. If anybody knows which app is that, please tell the maintainer that they have a serious bug. It's night here, so I am lo

I think that the only thing that really works are code reviews. The best engineers on the team should have enough time to review what is being committed and provide suggestions for improvement. Things will start gradually improving, but it

Well, that's a surprise for sure. I wrote this article a few months ago and it gained no traction. Today I woke up and boom, front page.

To be entirely honest, most of his books are pretty awful, as they are mostly preaching something for the sake of preaching and selling the books. I bought his last one (Clean Architecture) as I wanted to improve myself as an architect, jus

The majority of the bugs I've been resolving take from 30min to a few hours (if I know the codebase) - but they are usually complex distributed systems issues. What kind of bugs are those that could be fixed in 2 minutes?

Better keyboard support comes in next version. Do you mind telling me why do you switch between tasks every 6 minutes?

Whatever software you buy, there are usually some kind of minimum system requirements listed so people don't run it on some ancient potato and complain how it doesn't work. It uses ~220Mb of RAM in total.
