Having a lot of fun revisiting old posts and giving the ones that never had their own hero some love.

i love this! Also currently reading the article. Not sure if this is mentioned later but you said "Google Chrome used a bloom filter for this exact purpose until 2012.". What do they use now?

Alright I've read through the whole thing. Fantastic article! I liked the interactive elements and how well written it was!

I'm a big fan of bloom filters. Wrote a CSS2 spellchecker in 1kb for a code golfing competition with a trivial little bloom filter. Some old version of Angular.js used bloom filters to figure out where things are in component tree faster. They almost got me with that, but I managed to stay away 😛
