Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Only one comment, in a thread on tries, which says tries suit storing macOS/iOS Mach-O function names and cites Pyroscope's storage design post. It does not judge this blog's writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
An online electronic journal repository for various projects, topics, tutorials, and other such texts, usually dealing with programming languages, reverse engineering, CS theory, object/binary analysis, formal methods, formal logic, and maybe, sometimes, even philosophy
What Hacker News says?
Tries are also used to efficiently store names of functions in macOS / iOS binaries (Mach-O format) and work great for that purpose because a lot of functions have the same prefixes [0]. Indexes in mongodb use a similar concept (they call that prefix compression [1]), and that allows them to store indexes more efficiently. We use them at Pyroscope and we wrote a blog post about our storage design [2] There are even…
