Interesting set of memory patterns. Didn't know all of them, some are definitely useful and I already use, I'll try to look for the others next time I need to.

There's definitely a tension between something which you can organize and search easily (by typing) and something you can remember better (by hand writing). That's why I can't get rid of hand written notes completely, I practice a mix of both depending on the use.

Nice summary on the false sharing problem with caches and how it can impact your performances in multithreaded contexts.

Don't believe claims about Rust (or any other options in fact) being a language for universal use. It has a few spaces where it shines and others where it'll be a drag. Picking the right language and stack is a multi-factor decision process where the technical advantages of the language itself say less than half of the story.
