It compares gap buffers, piece tables, ropes, and CRDTs, focusing on the trade-offs among insertion, deletion, reading, cursor movement, memory efficiency, latency, and multi-user concurrency. ### Source excerpt Open a text editor, type a character, and it appears on screen. That single keystroke triggers a surprisingly deep question: how does the editor represent your document in memory so that insertions, deletions, and cursor movements all feel instant, even on a file with millions of lines... ## Cuckoo Filters: Cache-Friendly Membership Checks With Deletions DevFeed: [Cuckoo Filters: Cache-Friendly Membership Checks With Deletions]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: hello@ankit-rana.com Published: 2026-03-17T00:00:00Z Content type: tutorial Language: en Sources: [Ankit Rana | Mechanical Sympathy]() Topics: [CPU Cache](), [Caching](), [hash]() Tags: [cache](), [capacity](), [cpu-cache](), [cuckoo-filter](), [data-structures](), [false-positive](), [hash](), [insert](), [performance](), [probabilistic](), [spatial-locality](), [systems]() ### AI overview This article explains how Cuckoo filters support deletions while improving CPU cache behavior compared with counting Bloom filters. They check two specific buckets using compact fingerprints, but insertions can fail when kick-out chains exceed their limit, requiring capacity planning or overflow handling. ### Source excerpt A Cuckoo filter stores a one-to-two byte fingerprint in a hash table and finds it by checking exactly two buckets, the primary index and its XOR-derived alternate, instead of k random bit positions scattered across a large array. That spatial locality is the whole win on real CPUs. The trade-off is a hard edge: when the kick-out chain exceeds its limit, the insert fails outright. ## What is index overhead on writes? DevFeed: [What is index overhead on writes?]() Original publisher: [Read original article]() Author: depesz Published: 2026-01-06T11:57:10Z Content type: article Language: en Sources: [select \* from depesz;]() Topics: [data]() Tags: [benchmark](), [btree](), [delete](), [gin](), [index](), [insert](), [operations](), [overhead](), [performance](), [postgresql](), [speed](), [tutorial](), [uncategorized](), [update]() ### AI overview The article measures how indexes affect write performance using PostgreSQL 18 and a one-million-row test table. It reports that loading performance decreases as indexes are added, and that a roughly 3.6-fold increase in storage corresponded to an eightfold slowdown in the tested case. A single wide index performed better than ten separate indexes, though the author notes that the configurations solve different computational problems. ### Source excerpt One of things people learn is that adding indexes isn't free. All write operations (insert, update, delete) will be slower - well, they have to update index. But realistically - how much slower? Full tests should involve lots of operations, on realistic data, but I just wanted to see some basic info. So I figured ...

It describes using londiste handlers to process batches of replication events, including bulk-loading methods for inserting, updating, and deleting data. ### Source excerpt In the previous article here we talked about how to properly update more than one row at a time, under the title Batch Update. We did consider performances, including network round trips, and did look at the behavior of our results when used concurrently. A case where we want to apply the previous article approach is when replicating data with a trigger based solution, such as SkyTools and londiste. Well, maybe not in all cases, we need to have a amount of UPDATE trafic worthy of setting up the solution. As soon as we know we're getting to replay important enough batches of events, though, certainly using the batch update tricks makes sense.
