Neither Odin nor Zig are memory safe. Rust is and can therefore be used in production safely. Attached by @chompie.rip, this Linux kernel bug was just patched yesterday and existed for 5 YEARS. Impossible in Rust, even with unsafe.

Today, I discovered a competitor's new website showcasing an old comparison table. Some months ago, I sent many suggestions to make it fair regarding @meilisearch.com. But this time, the following notice made it even worse: "We've strived to provide accurate information."

'Just saying... LMDB aborts the process in case an assertion is invalid. But it can be disabled if you compile with NDEBUG which will make LMDB continue to run in an invalid state... fosstodon.org/@kero/114137...

I wondered if merging the largest memory chunks in the Mask Layer during allocation and deallocation to balance computation on the writing threads is possible. And what happens if you need to allocate a chunk larger than a region? 4/4

In the article, you explain that you need to generate sequential internal ID keys (Meilisearch also uses u32s internally to identify documents). Is this the same use case? What do you use them for? Do you reuse the IDs when deletions happen? And what is the integer size do you use? 3/4

I think I won on this one! He didn't like that I debugged a single segfault in @meilisearch.com since 2018 😅

Current Mood: Generating 10 million fake-ish embeddings to benchmark the new @meilisearch.com indexer 🔥 The original dataset is around 6GiB; with embeddings, it is... 45GiB 💀

It's satisfying to merge a Pull Request with over 15k changes, making the engine index between 2x and 10x faster. Adding new documents to a large database (1M documents) is 6.5 times faster 🔥

When you are searching for a very specific Rust library, for a very specific problem around efficiently allocating stuff in an arena allocator, you hope someone built it and you find yourself on GitHub 😅

Also, Howard Chu is a beast! Just use the fastest B+Tree in the ecosystem instead of SQLite on top of it 😉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightni...
