I don't know about C, but how do you replace the "pure assembly" the author mentions and maintain a reasonable degree of constant time guarantees? Even with assembly these are fickle, can you really write the core computational kernels in Rust and achieve similar guarantees?
Nice; this also has the advantage that it can be modified quickly to add or change functionality. The pattern is also clearly usable in other contexts. Just be careful with those pesky filenames with newlines!

Just yesterday I compiled a gigantic ublock filter for HN that hides political posts, everything related to artificial intelligence, "founder culture" as you call it, tech business stuff, legal matters, everything webdev related, certain topics that young tech bros seem to be obsessed with (psychedelics, self improvement, note taking apps, hanki panki or whatever etc) and posts about scientific topics that tend to attract habitual incorrectorrists.
So far it has worked wonders and made HN pleasant to browse again.
