It is not a question of C++ being better than JavaScript or vice-versa in some esoteric sense. Compiling code from C++ to WASM is counter-productive if the native JavaScript is fine. It's just that native languages seem to perform qui

If you do absolutely zero instruction optimization or re-ordering. Literally mapping the BNF grammar to a syntax tree capable of simple syntactic reduction... I would be surprised if it did not lag behind disk read speeds. Traversing that

The code looks nice, I hope it has helped you in your life. But frankly, if a JavaScript developer ever really wants to solve the problem... Learn enough C++ to write the equivalent code that compiles 6.5M in 0.1 seconds (assuming a nice HD

Yeah, it's easy to forget. CHANGELOG is the historical equivalent, but that seems to be dead.

Software interviewing has become necessarily (though unfortunately) adversarial for two major reasons; a lot of people are lying on their resume, a lot of engineers have inflated self-worth. If you're competent... don't worry, yo

A bit of caution, I haven't worked in distributed systems for some time now. And I am sure there many people more competent than I. But in general the cliche of "Great artists steal" applies here. If AWS/GCE/Azure

I see something comparable to these diagrams (it feels like) a half-dozen times a year. The architecture is in general 'fine'. But communication paths of subsystems is probably the easiest part of the problem. And in general, re

When you take the joy of programming from somebody, you cannot expect them to stick around. At some point, we all have enough. Excited to see what Guido wants to do next, enjoy it!

This solution won't work if the sun ceases to emit light, therefore it's not fool proof. I kid, but - why so much pessimistic "all or nothing" attitude on this?

This looks nice enough. It may be worth mentioning that the real challenge for creating a generalized pipeline is rarely the control flow. Usually performance is not achieved due to; poor intermediate data locality, poor system utility ba

Thanks for building, I'll consider in the future. Though, I wish the fracture in C++ compilation wasn't so frustrating. LLVM has really helped pushed the boundary of compiler feedback. But still, GCC wins consistently in my expe

There are different layers of security. Presumably, when your hardware is provisioning a new operating system, it is protected by a Layer3 firewall. But, yeah - people tend to only skim the manuals.

No disrespect intended, but not all worlds are the same. A lot (maybe most?) of software is written for explicit purposes to targeted audiences. I am not going to hire a blind person to label signs, a deaf person to review music, or an ill

I keep seeing these pop up over and over, and I think most I have seen use a rendezvous that is also an I/O relay. A reliable UDP with a rendezvous server would allow for much more scalable P2P transfer. Unfortunately, I haven't

Why would latency sensitive applications (let's say a millisecond of jitter) be using .NET and its runtime? I thought the VM class of languages were generally inappropriate for real-time work. Heck, even in C, you need to do specific

It appears to be a C++ compiler attempting to keep parse tree from templated code in-memory between translation units. That said, I am not involved and don't use.

There is typically L1 cache, L2 cache, L3 cache, RAM, and SWAP. These ranges from kb to mb, and then to gb. And each lower level is faster than all levels above it. Most of the relevant memory here is L2 and L3. As you have more items in

If I may ask, why did you opt to port the code in that order (translate -> re-architect)? I suspect you have experience in this, and I was curious what experience taught you. Edit: Answered below in "May it have been better to sta
