Elm goes native, ESLint kills dead React effects

The elm-run project compiles Elm code directly to machine code, removing the need for a JavaScript runtime. It lets developers build truly native Elm programs, from command‑line tools to server‑side services, while preserving the Elm Architecture.

Version 1.0.0 of the eslint‑plugin‑react‑you‑might‑not‑need‑an‑effect adds new rules, clearer messages, and Oxlint support, improving signal‑to‑noise and stability. It detects unnecessary React effects—derived state, chain updates, and more—helping developers write simpler, more performant components.

A blog post shows that sorting random 20‑byte BLOB primary keys before bulk inserting into SQLite cuts insert time by up to 30%, converting chaotic writes into sequential ones and reducing page splits. The technique uses a fast unsigned compare on the first eight bytes.

A blog post implements Strassen’s 1969 sub‑cubic matrix multiplication in C and shows that, despite its lower theoretical complexity, the algorithm suffers from floating‑point error accumulation, poor vectorization, and size‑padding overhead. In practice, the naïve O(n³) multiplication is faster for typical compiler workloads.
