I don't even know what node-gyp is, but I know it appears regularly in error messages to know it causes problems. I don't even develop against Node, it has just crept into our front-end build toolchain.

Following "Best practice" isn't about doing what is "best", it's about being predictable. In many cases, being predictable is better for future maintenance than forging your own path, even if the custom solutio

Why not take a large and complex code-base such as the firefox source code, feed that in and demonstrate how that goes?

You could partially fulfil both resting orders, weighted by their (remaining) order size. You might get "games" around people oversizing orders to try to get more "weight" to their orders, but that would be inefficient b

I was once in my much younger days, at a company where the development team worked at a different office to the "head office" product team. We were a PoS app, and had no SaaS web offering. The head office was keen to get one, so s

How is your life improved by getting that news minute by minute instead of an hour, or even a day, later?

It was made a couple of years ago, but Defuncland's "Disney's FastPass: A complicated history" is an incredible documentary that I watched this year. You don't need to know too much about Disney for it to absorb you

With such vague arguments, it's not even clear to an outsider what each of their preferences are.

Thanks for that correction, I hadn't appreciated the subtle difference there.

Thanks for that suggestion, I shall explore faster PRNGS and vactorization too then. My domain is c#, where it's perhaps unsurprising that it's a lot faster to have an array in memory than go via the default Random, which is I bel

I'd love to see this put through it's paces with the following: I have a strategy for benchmarking such data-structures, I call it the "birthday benchmark". Unfortunately I'm not proficient enough in Rust to have pu

Why not? What's wrong with a standard library the bits of which you want you choose to import?

I don't know how much I believe this. One thing that successful people are often good at is taking their good luck and portraying it as a genius master-stroke of planning that no-one could have foreseen. Claiming to have actually engi

Yes, very few news sources are genuinely irreverent. The Register is one of the few, and you can tell, because it often gets people in the comments here complaining of it's style. A lot of content out there, user-driven especially, is

Ease of use, even used as a GUI for WSL, that doesn't mean it doesn't add value.

I don't think that's a limitation of the specification. You can create spans and emit events for those spans without holding objects in memory.

Subversion (svn) was absolutely fine before git. Before that, there was CVS but that really was painful. Svn gets a lot of hate for things it doesn't deserve, even this article talks about "checking out" and the difficulty of

This sometimes catches out people C#/.Net too, it's a big difference between Class and Struct, Class is reference type and Struct is value type. (see fiddle below), but in practice people very rarely reach for structs, so people d

Yep, I came here to say the same thing. The author has misremembered / misrepresented Simpson's paradox, which is much stronger than an aggregate hiding a group effect.

Out of interest, what "patterns from the .NET framework era" do you think don't work well in .Net core? ( I'm someone who deals all day with legacy .Net framework projects, mixed with the kind of mix of .Net core 3, .Ne

I'm sure you wouldn't be making this complaint if it were the other way around. Rather than demanding the rest of the world avoid abbreviations that coincide with US states, perhaps just accept others can use their own abbreviatio

Indeed, the flame chart can't tell you that. The solution provided in the article seems to rip out `Metadata::Cache::getVarsByName` entirely. If it were easy to optimise `Metadata::Cache::getVarsByName` instead, then that would also ha

The jetbrains profiler lets you quickly "Scope to X", so you can scope to the second or third highest ranked functions and see their breakdown too, so you don't need to fix the highest to get a full understanding.

I think I'm the same as you, I much prefer the style where you get an interactive profile and can hit "show me the hot path" and it'll expand down the hot path. The overall flame charts just don't provide the immedi
