How do you fit a 250kB dictionary in 64kB of RAM and still perform fast lookups? For reference, even with gzip -9, you can't compress this file below 85kB.
In the 1970s, Douglas McIlroy faced this exact challenge while implementing the spell checker for Unix at AT&T.

Woke up to an email from Douglas Mcilroy himself in response to my article on his work on Unix Spell. I am very grateful that he took the time to read and respond to it!
PS: I fixed the error he found in the article.

One of the best Bluesky features is that someone blocking you also hides their replies to your posts from everyone. Great way to deal with those obnoxious people who leave shitty comments then block you because they need to have the last word.
