The C++ first API design is what appeals to me most. Not enough to switch from Tensorflow, though.

That's easy - use non-English names. I, for one, try to give Latin names where possible. I'm currently working on a SPA called "scriptare"[1] (which is Latin for "write"). The front-end part is called "cal

Can somebody provide tl;dr of what was wrong with their tests and how come they got this far if the tests were flat out wrong? Did they just used low precision tests and pass them as high precision or some such?

Agree, the stress might have negated possible positive outcomes. In my case, though, I'm sticking with it purely for the joy of it--15 min. of HIIT at the end of the work while you are hungry and tired followed by a cold shower/ba

Yep, tensorflow was actually the reason I tried WSL. In my case, compiling tensorflow in WSL is also a lot faster than doing the same in Windows with CMake/MSBuild.

Yes, after watching so many of Vyacheslav Egorov's (from V8) talks on microbenchmarking, I'm convinced that JIT's are doing some serious witchcraft unmeasurable by microbenchmarks; yet googling relevant tests on jsperf is tou

That explains it, along with the fact that getAttribute('data-*')/setAttribute() seem to be faster in microbenchmarks[1] than getting/setting properties on element.dataset. Thanks for clearing this up, I'd have neve

Yes, indeed, DOM is doing a lot of heavy lifting and the cost of the call itself might be small in comparison. And you're raising a valid point with geometry changes which are indeed a terrible thing to do in a loop due to recalculatio

Well, I'm with you since I'm still not using React. But one has to acknowledge the point it makes about DOM handling.

by maga 10y ago
True, but the culprit is still DOM calls being expensive. Virtual DOM minimizes those calls through various optimizations, including not destroying elements unnecessarily as you said, but it's not limited to it. Consider the following
