The dynamic web-paper format is nice for expository instructional articles, but here as much time is spent skipping over dynamic stuff in search of human involvement, of which there is thankfully plenty, than reading about the invention itself. It has at least been copyedited by someone even if the structure feels somewhat robotic.

For a map<String, usize> of /usr/share/dict/words (with the value being the dict offset), measuring this consistently using 40% more RAM than std::collections::BtreeMap. Their claim of less memory usage was specifically for integers, so this is more a data point than a refutation.
