> How much performance improvement did you get fixing this? I don't have the exact numbers saved, but around 6-10x depending on the build configuration. In particular running the interpreter tests under MSVC in debug mode w/ iterator debugging enabled went from taking 120s to around 15s (i.e. unbearable to just slow). There were similar gains in release mode configurations, I'm aware that you normally shouldn't optimize for debug performance. The naive implementation was OK for getting the GC integrated and working, but it was just too slow for anything beyond the simplest examples. It might be interesting to track the run time vs. commit, I'll see if I can find the time to do a better benchmark to see what actually gave the most improvement. I seem to recall that using untracked pointers for the activation objects gave the largest speed-up. > Theoretically, the Rust borrow checker could help with this. Theoretically. I haven't looked much into rust, but it'd be interesting to see to what a comparable implementation would look like. In C++ I guess I'll have to be content with adding various debugging modes, unless I can coerce one of the static analyzers into helping me. > In general be prepared for the destructor being called a lot later than normal (finalization) > Also, one of the downsides of destructor based things is that you can't use cheap-allocate, nearly-free-deallocate approach for generational collecting. Happily untracked pointers (and value representation) are trivially destructible by design, so as long as the implementation sticks to GC allocated objects it should be fast. Your comment made re-check the code and I just noticed that `mjs::object` should just have a defaulted non-virtual destructor. That just leaves function implementations and the global object as still needing complex destructors.

I use unit tests professionally in embedded development mostly to find memory leaks. I guess if you work with low performance shitty high level memory managed languages you don't need tests. But why would you, it's not like anything serious can be developed in toy languages like that anyway!

It says a lot about its developers and ultimately, about the language. From what I have seen so far, JAI has no reason whatsoever to exist, as its "improvements" over C++ are simply styilstic diffrences or features rarely needed or features that can easily be tackled with external tools. People are not gonna switch to using Jai, businesses are not gonna switch to using Jai for writing performance critical applications, that's for sure. The might of C++ is so big that it would take a sort of quantum leap to make developers use Jai instead of C++ en mass. That, of course, does not mean Jonathan shouldn't try this..at the very least, it is a very interesting experiment.

It was discussed. He filters all the music to just the strongest frequencies and timestamp. Then he writes triples of (frequencyA, frequencyB, delta time) and does that for every pair of points that are four rows apart. That triple is a hash key. Then he does the same for the sample and searches for all the hash keys. The majority match is used. Using delta time makes it time invariant.

No. He's right. Traffic analysis and timing attacks are a serious problem and to thwart them it is imperative we adopt techniques such as padding out network requests to increments of very large fixed sized blocks to prevent leaking more info about the size of a download than is absolutely necessary. Basically >"It seems non-standard and odd at first, but I don't think there is a security threat here since integrity checks still occur," Strafach says. He agrees that there are always potential downsides to sending data unencrypted, but notes that an attacker who wants to track what a target is downloading might still be able to do it even with TLS encryption, based on an app's size.

IMO, having on-call developers is usually wrong. Because: 1. When things are on fire in the middle of the night, you don't need a programmer, you need a skilled sysadmin. A good programmer familiar with the codebase will be able to gradually narrow down the cause, isolate the faulty component in a test environment, rewrite the code to avoid the fault, extend the test suite to reflect the original fault as well as the solution, and then deploy it to the staging environment, wait for CI to pick it up, have a colleague look it over, and finally hand it to operations for deployment. This takes hours, maybe days. A skilled sysadmin can take a holistic look, spot the application that misbehaves, restart or disable it, possibly install ad-hoc bypasses, file a ticket for development, and have things in a working (albeit rudimentarily) state within minutes. It won't be pretty, it won't be a definite fix, but it will happen the same night. You don't want programmers to do this, they have neither the skill nor the mindset (most of us anyway). 2. The "force people to build good stuff" aspect is two-edged. If there is an on-call rotation, then that means there is always someone to intervene when things go wrong, and this is an incentive to write sloppy code. You know who writes the most reliable code out there? The space and aviation industries, where code, once deployed simply cannot be allowed to fail. Aircraft control software that failing on final approach is a situation where "ring the developer on call and have them patch the code" is a ridiculous idea. And on the other end of things, some of the worst code out there is written in small web startups, where everyone is working 24/7 and stuff is shipped without testing because time-to-market is everything and the general attitude is that if it fails, you just go in and fix it on production. 3. It's ridiculously expensive. Programmers are some of the most expensive talent you can possibly hire; and here you are putting them on what amounts to entry-level support duty, work that can be bought for 1/3 the hourly rate, work that can effectively be taught in maybe a week, given reasonable documentation. 4. Doing your own on-call support also creates a culture of "this is our stuff and remains between us". The only people ever touching the code, or having to understand it in the slightest, are the current programming team. This incentivizes an oral culture, where reliable information about the system resides in the heads of the team members, and nowhere else. I don't have to explain why this is bad.

This is based on something I saw in an SO post, but the idea is really common. Here's the link to the quoted article: http://www.staff.city.ac.uk/~jacob/solver/index.html 1. Express business logic as a set of logical assertions. 2. Use some form of logic programming to evaluate those assertions against given input. For instance, let's consider something like deal matching. This is needed for reporting, it happens after all entering parties have already agreed on transaction, the transaction took place (assets have been transferred), but all sorts of authorities still need to be notified. The main problem in this situation is to identify the deal reported by all entering parties as the same deal. The things that will prevent you from naive equality matching could be these (obviously, the list is not exhaustive): 1. Names of the legal entities entering reported in different languages / abbreviations, according to local regulations of the reporter / their executing broker / primary broker / the platform that conducted the trade. Similarly, date of execution, etc. 2. Currency must be reported in the units of the buy-side / sell-side / EB / PB / clearing house / etc. Where conversion rates are computed based on the details of the deal and how the parties operate. 3. Deals can be reported separately and in aggregates, where neither party is obligated to have any single policy wrt how they report. In an imaginary imperative language, you might code it like this: if report.country == 'Venezuela' and report.buy_side == 'Google Inc.' then actual_buy_side = 'Google LLC.' if report.country == 'Венесуэла' ... Which is something very difficult to compose with other similar assertions... In Prolog such assertions would take this form: venezuela('Venezuela'). venezuela('Венесуэла'). ... match(Deal) :- country_of_deal(Deal, Country), venezuela(Country), ... Which is a lot easier to compose, allows one to separate all trivia into a database, while having minimal amount of indirection. And, on top of this, it gives you a logical conjecture, quite suitable for SAT. Prolog itself could work as SAT here, but it does "too much": it finds all assignments to logical variables that satisfy the formula, whereas SAT only needs to tell you whether the formula is satisfiable, so, maybe it could even simplify some computations.

>From what I have seen so far, JAI has no reason whatsoever to exist From what I have seen so far, you have no reason to exist. >C++ are simply styilstic diffrences or features rarely needed or features that can easily be tackled with external tools Reflection is feature rarely needed? Easily tackled? Fast compile times rarely needed? Easily tacked? There's absolutely nothing that can be done to make C++ compile fast. Simple compile time execution, built in build system described in the same language. It has so many quality of life improvements. Game developers would dream to program in a language like JAI. You have no idea what you're talking about.

1) You might as well just use libui-node until libui-napi is merged back into it. see the last few comments on [https://github.com/parro-it/libui-napi/issues/11](https://github.com/parro-it/libui-napi/issues/11) 2) If you don't have javascript stockholm syndrome, might I suggest a libui binding to a sane language. There are [plenty to choose from](https://github.com/andlabs/libui#language-bindings). I've used [the go bindings](https://github.com/andlabs/ui) myself. They were made and are maintained by the main libui dev and they're pretty sweet.

Firstly, only the lowest of the low cry "elitism!" - those who are not welcome in any professional society, those who are so far below the minimal professional threshold that they have no hope to ever get there. Secondly, all the shitty "challenges" of the web are nothing but a self-inflicted damage caused by a massive overengineering. And the reason is simple - people responsible for this damage are exactly those lowly dipshits who cry "elitism!" and have no hope to ever reach any degree of professionalism. And their solutions to those "challenges" are always utterly disgusting and deserve nothing but contempt. There is nothig worth any respect anywhere in this entire web industry. The world would have been a better place without all that "creativity" of the ignorant web kiddies.

The golden 'wow' nugget is that there really isn't a language like JAI. How many languages are there: 1. Strongly typed, compiled, with no GC. 2. Has reflection. 3. Compiles super fast. 4. Flexible metaprogramming and compile time execution with no craziness. 5. Has both raw pointers as well as optionally bounds checked arrays and other data containers. 6. Sane built in build system. I'm absolutely sold. You'll quickly find that JAI is performance-oriented gamedevs dream language. There isn't a language out there like that. How many languages actually have a really fast compiler? Very, very few.

What's more embarrassing is some of the responses to the request. Even if you disagree with the request, it's not hard to see where it's coming from and it's not that big a deal. It's not the end of the world and it doesn't make the other person a "feels before reals" person; swearing has it's place but the utility of swearing in code is dubious at best. It's not censorship to request a change, and if someone reacts with vitriol to this I would ask them to inspect who's the one being overly sensitive.

That is probably one of the most popular website for developers, but they didn't state the sample size. I'd guess that it's within 10-20% of the real value though (if you check job postings, a lot of them want Kotlin now), and that's still a really impressive number only 1 year after releasing for Android.

I don't understand what you don't understand? 1) Trivial computation or i/o bound -> don't care 2) Needs to be fast, using a desktop -> threads 3) Needs to scale more -> processes Most software that people are using all those single threaded interpreters (Python, Node) etc for professionally, is in the (3) category - web backends, and all that. The domain (2) is mostly Java/C# or C++ for perf, and those don't have a GIL or threading problems. For a lot of devs in node/Python, outside of scientific computing, domain (2) does not exist.

I do work in Europe, and when I transitioned from tech support to an entry-level programming position at the same company, my salary doubled. I made more than the usual minimum wage at the support job, and my programmer salary has increased significantly since, so 1/3 is still a pretty good, if not conservative, estimate.

Totally aware of that. Also, I teach Python myself for newcomers. Still, saying Python corrupts developers is hyperbole. The features that make some people unhappy are features that are used in other languages in the industry. Saying the industry is corrupted by Python is like saying the industry does not work at all, which is obviously not the case.

>the point of Electron is to make development easier at the cost of resources and in the end everyone gets a shitty experience. the developers lose, developing stockholm syndrome for the prison of their own making. growing dependent on ecosystems so fragile they can and do topple with a single gust of wind. forced to do work in shorter and shorter timelines. the users lose, as their thousand dollar mobile super computer is unable to smoothly handle the same tasks a macintosh 128k could. the only people who win are the execs who got to churn out an mvp and flip their company for n digits.

Interesting! I don't have much experience with Clang, but one time I experienced a considerable difference was in memory consumption (e.g. ~2GB vs. ~6GB) of Clang vs. GCC during compiling this library: https://github.com/tdlib/td/issues/67 I am not sure whether Clang generally have a lower memory footprint, especially in heavily-templated codes, or this was just one of the few instances.

Imagine a simple graphite pencil. It's a great tool. You can draw wonderful sketches with one, you can use it to mark things up, and so on. However try and set a museum's watercolour collection on fire to replace it with some pencil sketches, you'd get called a dumb bitch and then you'd get arrested. But here we are with tech, where instead of just fucking using aquarelle where it would make artistic sense, the greatest minds of our generation came up with a method where you superheat the graphite lead to 5000K, upon which it would paint all shades of the rainbow (and occasionally, explode, killing the person holding the pencil instantly). But y'know, somebody somewhere got to commission 3 copies of the same painting for a lil bit less money. Worth killing the art, yeah.

Simply put, it's like ability to read what's on your monitor... with 10000000000x zoom. Yeah, sure it formally gives access to everything that will be displayed on this screen, but good luck with actually being able to see anything specific or gather data like password, logins etc. Oh and you can't move your view. This and the fact that so much time passed since this peculiar PR campaign of Spectre/Meltdown and yet nobody saw it actually used in real life. I understand that whitepapers seem professional etc. but they only show extremely edge case usage. They completely ignore plausible real life scenarios.

For anyone curious, mutation testing is definitely a thing. This is slightly different than what the author suggests. Instead of changing assertions, it automatically mutates your code (I.e inserts bugs) and checks that your tests fail. Check out PIT or Stryker for example frameworks.

> It depends on where the problem is in the system. Programmers are great at finding the root cause when it is code related; sysadmins are great when it’s systems related. Yes, but when the phone rings at 3am, finding the root cause and properly fixing it is not your main priority. The main priority is to get the system (not the code!) into a state where the ongoing damage is contained, and the company survives into the next morning, when the full development team is available to properly assess things. There's only so much a single on-call person in any role can do; so you want to think hard what skill set is going to be most important in that person. Programmers are good at writing code, but even in the hands of the best of the best, it takes hours, days, maybe weeks, to do that. You don't have weeks. You have minutes. > Knowing your colleague has to get up in the middle of the night to fix your sloppy code is an incentive to write sloppy code? In theory, this knowledge is an incentive to "do better" - however, the problem is that "do better" is not an actionable goal, and unless you are really anal about treating each support call as a disaster that must never happen again, it's not going to lead to much improvement. At the same time, knowing that there will be someone around to hold the system's hand at any time means there is no aspect of it for which failure is unacceptable. > I’m not sure how familiar you are with the aviation industry but the idea that engineers aren’t involved with the diagnostic process outside of core work hours is far from reality. Sure. Crunch time is real, and an entirely orthogonal antipattern, it happens even in industries where failures aren't a big deal at all, such as gaming. But the point is, when avionics fail in flight, the pilot isn't going to call the programmer who wrote the control software and asks them to deploy a bugfix, that would be utterly silly. They will either go through existing procedures because it is an issue that has occurred before, or they will go in and, maybe with the help from remote tech support, try to find a workaround that gets the plane back under control. The programmer doesn't come in until the post-mortem; and then, the focus is not only on fixing the problem that caused it, but also on fixing the workflow that allowed the problem to slip through in the first place. At least that's what I make from reports detailing the procedures at NASA. Oh, and actually NASA does patch spacecraft in flight; they've famously done it in the Voyager program, and probably also in other programs. But those weren't on-call situations, they tested the new code and the deployment procedure until everyone on the team recited them in their sleep. > It doesn’t sound like they are being put on L1 customer support. It sounds like they handling complex and time sensitive L3 escalations. OK, so maybe that point doesn't hold as much water. Still - good programmers are rare and expensive, and you really don't need programming skill in that situation. The correct first response to a complex, time sensitive L3 problem is **never** "Let me copy the production database over to the dev box, check out the code, fire up a debugger, and calmly try to reproduce the problem". It's going to be "Let me see which services I need to kill, and then we'll figure out how to route around them to mitigate the impact". Takes more than a week to learn maybe, but the required skills are still cheaper than programming. And another thing I was getting at is "f*ing document your stuff". If you cannot write your code to be left alone for the weekend, then the next best thing is to document it such that an on-call tech support person with rudimentary skills and a functioning brain can successfully save the operation until Monday morning. If saving the operation over the weekend requires programming skills, or intricate knowledge of the codebase, then something is very wrong.
