The man is legend.

Elevate your Perspective.

I don't know, why I find such biases inside myself as well in people around me. I am overreacted, take more then necessary, try to fill the silent, think myself dumb, feel manipulated by others till March 2026. Then I got this treasure and start reading. BTW I am not a good reader 🤫 but I read basic ideas of all laws and listen to Robert Green on YouTube. I am reading Law no 6 right now.

​

When I started reading The Laws of Human Nature (LOHN) and The 48 Laws of Power, I felt blinded. Why could anyone-be it a friend, a relative, or a well-wisher-be so toxic? A close friend always spoke positively to me, offering good advice for success. He expressed a wish for me to become his business partner so we could live a happy life; he seemed like a true friend, such a nice person. I trusted him so much that I discussed all my highs and lows, my business plans, and my ideas with him during hours-long calls. But the 48 Laws state: "Never put too much trust in friends." Oh God, why not trust a friend? It felt impossible to believe a book. However, knowledge is knowledge, and it sometimes strikes your brain at unexpected moments.

​

When I talked with him, I noticed his personality leaking through at times. As a close friend, I observed him using the same baits that he tried on others. I noticed patterns in his behavior that exposed his personality. He was very charming until I challenged his ideas or thoughts, otherwise, his facial expressions changed the game. I didn't notice this only in a friend, but in other close people as well. I didn't blame them, but I realized my lack of knowledge regarding human nature and my naivety converted relationships into power struggles and envy games.

​

For a month, I felt depressed, asking myself "why?" repeatedly. I had always loved them with my heart and trusted them, but they were so opportunistic. As time passed, the wounds healed. I told myself that this was a pattern described by Robert for the last 2,500 years, I could never change that, but I needed to learn how to live with it without becoming toxic or manipulative. I am not a skilled analyst or a voracious reader, but having even a little knowledge of humati nature helps me more. When I talk with someone, I now understand that a relationship is often based on opportunity, as everyone has insecurities and narcissism. But at the end of the day, I am human, and I also possess insecurities and irrationality. Now, I am working on my own irrationality. One more truth I discovered: if you want muscles, you go to the gym and build them it is not that difficult. But if you want to train your emotions, your ego, and your nature, it is extremely difficult. If it were easy, the attitude of the masses would be different. If one is able to apply even a little bit of LOHN to oneself, they will live a somewhat better life in this world

That's the reason of obsession.

This started as a learning project . While building it I accidentally learned byte-level char comparison and realized I could push it further.

Results on 2M rows (224MB):

- 287 MB/s throughput

- 779ms total

- Faster than the csv crate on my machine

How it works: instead of allocating strings per field, it stores byte offsets (start, end) into the raw buffer. Zero heap allocation per field. The bottleneck is now disk I/O, not the parser.

Still early — no iterator API yet, delimiter is hardcoded to comma, exact match search only. But it works correctly including buffer boundary handling.

Looking for honest feedback — especially on the buffer boundary handling and anything I'm doing wrong that I can't see yet.
