Ask HN: Keep binaries in system memory never removed till manually done so
VMTouch may be helpful. https://hoytech.com/vmtouch/
Just lock the file into memory using:
```vmtouch -l /path/to/binary```

You're claiming that gnome loads all of itself into memory so that it can be faster. Now there are a few reasons why I don't think that's a reasonable idea, but assuming that you wanted that... using techniques like vmtouch to keep the files in the disk cache would make it so that gnome wasn't actually using the full 1GB. The "cached" files could be evicted from the cache if some other program needed that memory. Where as loading all of gnome in at startup regardless of whether it's actually used is probably not a good idea.

What's limiting PC RAM size?
It is a mainstream thing. It's enabled by default on every Windows install, as far as I know, although you may not be impressed by its understanding of what your frequently opened programs are. It's been about ten years since I ran Windows, but I used to have a batch script to read everything in a directory so that it would be in the disk cache and subsequent accesses would come from RAM. The Linux equivalent of my script is vmtouch, although that's a lot more full-featured.

Bash Menu
I really like using something like fuzzy search for menus like these. https://github.com/Cloudef/bemenu is pretty cool in that it works both in a terminal, X11 and on Wayland, so if you want to do something graphical later you can easily migrate. There's also fzf and skim, which work similarly but are only for the terminal.

FzfLua Quickstart: it's never been easier to try out fzf-lua
Current profiles (to be improved upon): | Profile | Details | | ---------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | default | fzf-lua defaults, uses neovim "builtin" previewer and devicons (if available) for git/files/buffers | | fzf-native | utilizes fzf's native previewing ability in the terminal where possible using bat for previews | | fzf-tmux | similar to fzf-native and opens in a tmux popup (requires tmux > 3.2) | | max-perf | similar to fzf-native and disables icons globally for max performance | | telescope | closest match to telescope defaults in look and feel and keybinds | | skim | uses skim as an fzf alternative, (requires the sk binary) |

Is there a way to unravel a filepath based on a known end file?
There’s also a variety of fuzzy finders like https://github.com/lotabout/skim or fzf. Basically the same thing, but different interface.

I wrote a "12 favourite terminal tools" list-article, what did I left out that should be absolutely included?
Have you ever tried sk? skim is an fzf re-write in 🦞. While I use it occasionally, I never really incorporated fzf into my workflow so I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

I like the Odin programming language
You state that as a blank and white fact, but there's nuance.
