You mean the uint16 numGlyphs?
Are there actually TTF files out in the real world with 65535 glyphs? The TTF file format does support it.
PNG, JPEG also support huge image data, but I guess IoT libs should read the size before attempting to render it?

okay, so it's 16-bit. I was going by my api which returns it as an int. Still 65535 is prohibitive.
So is 32767
So is 10000 if I only need 5000
I don't know that they're contiguous.
The way I load JPGs is iteratively, an 8x8 region at a time, top to bottom, left to right, never loading it all at once. So no I don't read the size before rendering it.
Anyway, during this back and forth I finished the LRU hashtable and doubled the framerate of the fonts

Awesome,
Just giving feedback. It sometimes helps to have other opinions and ideas.

Totally. I didn't mean to sound ungrateful. I just knew I needed the hashtable instead of an array in this case.

A technique I have used is to create an index table of hashtables. Multiple hash tables shortens the look up for each. But, indexing them requires some sort of grouping criteria (or than they can just have an index that is also in a hash table but with no collisions lists, but that gets complicated)
hashtable[0] = keywords,
hashtable[1] = usernames,
hashtable[2] = columns,
...
I agree "recently used" is always more complicated.
One algorithm I have contemplated:
tag each hashtable with a length and use count
tag each entry in table with use count
after some arbitrary hashtable length and use count has been reached then every time a collision list checked (usually hash tables end up with multiple collision lists) remove an entry whose use count is less than some arbitrary use count (say < 2 ). I know I may have missed something, but this is the "gist" of it.

I am surprised that you have not made a C++ to C generator yet.
Or use some of your code generation tools to generate valid cache code in C?
Kind of like TypeScript generating JavaScript.

Really it would amount to writing a C++ compiler. Keep in mind the compiler can run functions at compile time.

I found out there's a bug in Espressif's codebase that prevents my parallel i8080 code from linking against their esp32s3 stuff.
I found out there's a hardware limitation of the esp32s3 and a corresponding bug wherein it just decides to drop data after the first 32KB sent over DMA. It returns success, naturally.
I found out the new decoupled bus framework they have (that I feel like was stolen from me  ) was designed for LVGL and only LVGL, does not support rapid fill ops and does not support reading back from the display.
Leaving me with no clean way to use this new equipment I have, except with LVGL.
I like LVGL, but it's C, and it looks the part. Do you know what a screen composed of widgets looks like when it's built in C? The code is ugly. Handles, EVERYWHERE.
Every avenue I've taken to create new graphics projects on this new equipment has run into some significant barrier, usually that shouldn't be there.

I read a study that people that live without sun/circadian reference fall into a 28 hour cycle. So I tried living a 6 day week at 28 hours/ day.
My employer was not too thrilled. I also missed my 2 day weekend!

Yep. That's the one which made me give up playing it. Let's be honest, it wouldn't show up on the map of a large town, so how the heck you are supposed to find it with no sense of scale on a world map without using a map and triangulation I dunno.
And there will be more like this as they start to run out of "real countries" to work with...
Nope, I'll stick to Wordle!

It is also true that the number of choices for Worldle are much less than the number for Wordle. There are only 190+ countries in the world, and this means that even if they cover all the "registered countries", then they will have to repeat after 190+ days. So, perhaps they want to include the smallest of the small countries in their game.
