SwiftUI has a bunch of problems but almost none of them have anything to do with what this guy has to say :( Like, there are issues with almost every point: > We started with @State, @Binding, and ObservedObjects. Then Apple realized the

Settings lags not because of SwiftUI but because it renders all the panes out of process

Yes, because SwiftUI is (really!) the best way to build new apps for iOS. Your AI can probably figure out when it needs UIKit to do what it wants.

This is completely false, many NeXT people still work there.

Most Triton terminology comes from the AMD engineers working on it, rather than Nvidia's names.

It depends on what you're doing and which browser engine you're using, unfortunately.

I wonder if this incentivizes people to form groups that self-vet for quality submissions to enhance their reputation.

Compilers are really good but really good is not actually that useful in cases where you need SIMD

I don’t think any of this really reaches to the level of individual SIMD implementations in hardware

It’s worth knowing SIMD for the purpose of knowing when it’s not worth using

It can show up in JavaScript if you write your code in a way that lets the browser engine lower it to SIMD under the hood

You can, but usually the code may have problems with this. For example, storing out of bounds is often going to give you a bad time. Some platforms that are all SIMD all the time will support masked operations for this kind of thing.

The problem is you need both a PL nerd and a performance nerd and while that group has some overlap so these people are not as uncommon as you’d think the task is pretty hard so you need a lot of people on it, with a bunch of funding, etc.

On the flip side a lot of my work as a performance engineer is undoing bad abstractions made by people who read a two blog posts about SoA and decide that encapsulation is stupid
