Maybe a dumb question, but why release them back? Why separate and raise sterile males when you could kill off both male and female and be done? Is the idea that introducing sterile males back into the population has a compounding effect?
Maybe there are more modern, advanced data structures / techniques, but yes, my understanding is that this is a common trade off (having your data structure be more static, with offline updates).
I also find Succinct Data Structures fascinating. I own Navarro's text book, and it's one of my favorite books to take to the coffee shop and try to understand.
I also have a copy of Jacobson's Thesis.
Since information is rather scarce, here's my shameless plug for a related blog post I made, which includes a few links at the end to more resources https://denvaar.dev/posts/jacobsons_rank.html
One thing that helps me write is to picture someone I know who I'm talking to. This helps me to include the appropriate level of context, and it also impacts the "voice" I will use. I think the author basically mentions this as one of the their list items.

One other thing about Lael that I don't think the article mentioned is that on top of being an amazing ultra-endurance cyclist, she also has had to deal with lots of respiratory problems. I don't remember if it's Asthma or what, but her lungs literally shut down at times. This makes it even more impressive to me.
Sadly, I have found this to be true for many things. Not dismissing any real, physical aspect, but there's always a psychological aspect that comes into play as well.
My view is that shell scripting feels like the wild-west, so I try to conform to POSIX to maintain some level of sanity, though it feels restrictive at times. I rely on ShellCheck to help me write shell scripts that are POSIX compliant.
The benefit of hjkl is that it keeps your fingers on home row. I see your point that it could be considered dogmatic, though. Personally, I'm a fan of hjkl.
I didn't get the impression that this post was trying to compare vim to anything (which is refreshing). Seems like this is simply demonstrating how to use vim, given a few real-world editing examples.
