Very exciting story: someone has found a way to significantly speed-up load time of GTA Online. That's how our suboptimal code can bring huge inconvenience to lots of people.

How I cut GTA Online loading times by 70%
GTA Online. Infamous for its slow loading times. Having picked up the game again to finish some of the newer heists I was shocked (/s) to discover that it still loads just as slow as the day it was re
I really enjoy posts like that: author spotted an unscramble-the-words task in a local newspaper and without hesitations implemented solvers for it in three languages.

Solving the Daily Jumble
Solving a puzzle in Java, Groovy, and Kotlin. Also includes GraalVM and its native image tool.
TIL: Sleep sort. For an array of length N we can launch N tasks that'll sleep for some time (based on the sorting key) and then emit their value. Wait for all tasks to finish and woohoo, we have a sorted array.

Very nice! ThumbHash - yet another algorithm to display a blurred image preview while the actual image is still loading. Code is already available for several languages.

Well, DeepMind has tasked their AI with better sorting and it actually came up with a faster sorting algorithm. And a little bonus: thread about bubblesort being slow in FreeBSD kernel.
