Yes, so therefore + is context dependent. Some context dependency is unavoidable, but having everything be context dependent is bad design IMHO.

I am not a practicing mathematician but I have my degree in math, and from that point of view I do not agree at all with you. Symbols are mostly useful for symbolic manipulation, but any good mathematical book will try to keep the number of

I'm just pointing out that when the evidence of bodies piling up emerged, people denied it, so I assume that will still happen even if bodies pile up even more.

by gjulianm 4y ago
That also happened. I remember seeing the reports from some south american nations (don't remember exactly which one) of people who had dead relatives in their houses and no one could go and fetch them.

Well, bodies did literally start to pile up in morgues and hospitals and still some groups of people managed to convince themselves that it was fake or made up.

I mean, you always hit Amdahl's law, and the point is that most often the time limits are not that related to the architecture. Let's say you do these "10x slower patterns" in a backend application, in the part where t

by gjulianm 4y ago
Well, for starters, Amdahl's law exists. If you use design patterns that are 10x slower on a code path that takes only 0.5% of the execution time your application ends up 0.55% slower. And the profiler never tells you how faster can a

Exactly! I work with a lot of high-performance code and also a lot of non-high-performance code (think all the plumbing around the core computation) and I definitely use a lot of "clean code patterns" in the non-performance-critic

by gjulianm 4y ago
There is. The first one is that the code with the switch pattern can only process simple shapes. Let's say you want to get the area of a donut now. Well, you need to change the whole code to compute the area of the union. Or imagine th

Webpack wasn’t on the list of supported build systems when I made the upgrade, don’t know if it still isn’t there. I preferred to waste time making a supported build system work than wasting it making an unsupported one work.

It’s one thing that the “standard library for X” changes every few years. The problem is when upgrades within the same library are backward incompatible, or require changes in unrelated things (such as the build system), or when the library

I wouldn't be so dismissive of 71M rps. At around 100 bytes per packet, that's ~70 Gbps minimum, only on requests. It's quite the volume of traffic, you'd need quite a bit of cores, good parsing code and good core and me
