Philip Tretter writes artificial::mind blog, a personal blog at artificial-mind.net about programming and games. Since 2020, 9 different Hacker News readers have linked it 15 times, most often “Measuring Std:Unordered_map Badness”. The last post was in 2021, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Philip Tretter's blog is linked for a post on building static registries through static initialization in C++. One commenter calls it a good overview; another comment on C/C++ compile times does not mention the blog.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
I think the range of compilation times for C and different styles of C++ is so huge that this question cannot be answered without going into a lot of details about how the C or C++ project is structured. You can compile hundreds-of-thousands of lines of "user-side" C++ code in a few seconds, or in a few hours. The range is much smaller in most C projects, but can also differ by orders of magnitude. In short, splitti…

HN discussionA more useful application of this same idea ("you can do stuff during static initialization") is for building a static registry. https://artificial-mind.net/blog/2020/10/17/static-registrat... gives a good overview.
