🦘 Jump into the repositories (git, mercurial…) of your filesystem with telescope.nvim, without any setup
Hi, it’s Clément! 👋
I’m currently working as a software engineer at Paxos in London, building exciting things with blockchains. Before that, I was part of the DDoS protection team at Cloudflare, using technologies like eBPF or Rust. Previously, I worked on non-intrusive performance analysis at the SnT, a lab part of the University of Luxembourg. More on my CV.
In my spare time, I enjoy writing and contributing to open-source programs. I also blog mainly about performance and tools I use (like NeoVim, Hugo or SQLite). Some of my writing made it to the front page of HackerNews or Lobsters, sparking fruitful discussions in the comments. See the blog roll for my curated selection of blogs.

So we have to live with the current state of things. It’s ok, Neovim with Treesitter has a good “understanding” of code, so we can use it to generate the error handling code....

Should I Compress My Initramfs?
TL;DR As a small start-up time optimization, you can pick the best suited compression algorithm for the initial ramdisk. The Initial Ramdisk When a Linux system boots, it needs to mount the root filesystem /. This may be relatively complicated, as it may be on a software RAID, on LVM, encrypted… To keep things manageable, an initial ramdisk can be used to get a small environment that has all the required modules and configuration to load the root filesystem....
