I worked for a fintech company until 2 years ago. The CTO/CEO wanted to add a feature that lets users enter their bank password and through a service (Yodlee/TradeIt) lets the company read their stock portfolio and perform actions

And of course a smart JIT compiler can even put the variable access lookup in an inline cache on the function so that in the future it's a direct type + key = offset calculation rather than a memory lookup and the hash_get call is avoi

Oh, in Israel getting a doctor checkup or an ECG is free and most gyms don't have doctors or even a nurse (all gym instructors must get CPR certification though).

Israel used to be this way and it used to be a requirement by the government (not an ECG but a doctor note). Like a lot of other regulation it made it less likely for people to work out. Now it's a questionnaire instead. I think the ne

I’m not sure why this is downvoted - this is absolutely true. NSO is a private company who is US owned and at odds with the Israeli government often. As an Israeli I’m pretty confident Israel would not send spies in order to do things relat

The funny thing is that with reactivity like Vue/MobX you don't actually _need_ to make setInterval (or any other function) declarative - the change detection system abstracts all this from you and you have one less concern to car

We do visual programming at Testim.io for automation and the feedback is pretty positive. I think there is a lot of merit to the approach if used in a smaller and more constrained problem and if there is always an escape hatch.

8ms per fork means you can only accept 125 connections per second. (per core) That means it's only viable for connections where the connection is very long lived and messages are very sparse (because context switches).

I teach underpriviledged kids programming for the last 5 years and this rings very true to me. It's more important to teach them self efficacy and to believe in them than to teach them C++. I think this is also true more generally than

Anyone considering cycle should also consider MobX which is effectively "automatic cycle". It's as functional and as Reactive but uses vue-like observables rather than rx-like ones.

I just checked the code - it is explicit (there is literally a file called dead-code-elimination.cc that shows the reductions) and it's turned on and it's added in pipeline.cc :) So apparently it's been turned on for a while

Was about to post this. In addition dead-code elimination is (still) disabled in V8 as far as I know and it's not that big of a deal anymore. TurboFan IR (and Turbofan in general) is way simpler and more readable than Crankshaft. Figur

I love how people without an actual mathematical background make these sort of arguments - not because they're wrong but because it helps me check when I make those assumptions myself. Multiplying by the square root of 2 is also a fun
