I was getting weird build errors when I wrote this: std::vector<RGameObject &> m_ActiveGameObjects; Instead of this: std::vector<RGameObject *> m_ActiveGameObjects; I checked up some people getting the same error and using pointers supposedly fixed the build errors. I got answers which claimed that STL vector doesn't support references because it needs to move the objects internally to work correctly and values of references can't be changed. This was the main reason why I was repelled from using references for all object arrays. ​ I will have to check if setting `mutable` before the declaration changes anything in my case, and if it does or doesn't, then why. \--- Also if I use emplace\_back with your proposed example I may have to change the look of how objects get defined in the engine. But I think I should see the performance boost for myself at this point :P

Performance isn't always the primary issue. If it were, then people would just use Java or C++ instead of python. To your point, however, unless you sort the array in place, you'd need to allocate another array in order to achieve reasonable performance. This isn't the case for filtering or mapping an array, however. Also, I concede that implementing `min()` using a for loop or an iterator of some kind would be much more performant (space-wise) than using `.sort()`. It was a contrived example. All this said, "Python's not Rust" isn't a satisfactory counter-argument. (Even javascript has `const` and `immutable.js`). Copying and sorting the array a much more common use-case, so much so that `.sortInplace()` should probably be its own function.

We've been using it in production, for mission critical pure backend components (HTTP API's, message consumers/publishers), for nearly a year now. It's been a real boon for maintainability & safety, primarily due to null-safety, immutability features, lack of boilerplate for bugs to hide in. If you're a seasoned java dev shop it's probably not worth it, but if you have junior devs, or devs from C# or even python background, they'll be able to adapt to kotlin much better than java, to write clean & safe code.

You don't need to know the terminology to ask a good beginner question. Just focus on providing the full context even if you have to say "I did x but I don't know why". Terminology certainly helps but I've never gotten irritated for someone calling it "the thing" or whatever. But if you spent 30 minutes on it and all you do is say "it doesn't work" I can't even begin to try to guess where the problem is.

Well, I would suspect he's a C# programmer and trying to ease his cognitive dissonance over C# also being fairly mediocre (in the huge spectrum of possible programming languages), not the mention quite similar to Java really. Most of his ridiculous criticisms are minor stuff, not big major things that both Java and C# lack anyway.

In this case, `foo` is just a function, with a definition statically resolved. For CLOS, on the other hand, it will be the same issue - though it'll be a very rare case for CL, unlike Ruby, where everything is a method.

Don't expect a huge performance boost right out of the gate though, this applies mostly when you have tons of objects active with lots of different types/subclasses. Measure what takes the most time. Another hotspot could be RRenderableObject, for example. Hope this helped PS. Just to re-iterate, don't worry about using pointers vs references, they are the same, performance-wise. Just different semantics.

I've never understood why someone would prefer videos over text for learning programming. For doing something mechanical? Sure. For programming? Worst case scenario: Someone with a poor grasp of English and a crummy microphone tabs between 12 different files, slowly types out code and then spends agonizing amounts of time dealing with syntax errors. About half of the narration consists of "just type this", and they never actually bother to explain anything. Best case scenario: Someone talks half as fast as you can read, no good way to search for something specific, and a viewport that focuses on only a small amount of code at a time, which you can't copy. Then again I don't think anyone's figured out how to make a medium article in video format yet so I guess they have that going for them.

Your solution is not to sort the results but the linked article claims it is the number of syscalls which makes this slow: > Putting two and two together I could see that the reason it was taking forever to list the directory was because ls was reading the directory entries file 32K at a time, and the file was 513M. So it would take around 16416 system calls of getdents() to list the directory.

I'm not concerned with books - good ones are few and far between. But, the documentation is generally structured and readable - more so than the code itself. But even working code samples are tremendously valuable - if you can handle text. My main point stands - if your text comprehension is weak, how effective can you truly be as a developer? So much of what we do requires that skill.

> Don't underestimate the performance impact of this, it could be 2x or worse. Which would be pretty much meaningless, especially when it comes to a 2D engine. Using C++ alone gives you like 5x perf boost over engines written in other languages, so you will still be much ahead over engines written in C# or Python that weren't written with performance in mind.

In my experience, the biggest reason some people prefer video to text is personality. Reading an academic paper, a technical specification, or even a Stack Overflow answer usually feels very impersonal and detached - it's just text on a page, and can often be hard to grok and sift through. A well-made video, on the other hand, can demonstrate the concept much more succinctly and effectively with a combination of tone of voice, pacing, and visuals (be it just the code, helpful diagrams, or even animated visualizations). All these things are much more difficult to achieve in text, if not impossible depending on whether it's physically printed or not. There's also an aspect of personal attachment, since if you like a person's particular voice or style, you can follow them quite easily in a much more personal-feeling way than reading a blog regularly or such. It's like they're right there talking to you. Personally, I prefer text for technical issues, but I can certainly see the appeal of video - in fact, for non-technical things, I much prefer video/audio myself in most cases, for exactly these reasons. TL;DR, video is much more information-dense than text via non-linguistic additions (tone, pacing, visual aides, etc.), and is often less intimidating to get started with than a large block of text, as well as the opportunity for added personal touches and emotional connections.

I'm in college right now and I see this way too much. My friends do this too, watch shitty videos on YouTube and combine them to get to an even shittier result. While I'm there, casually searching through references (or official guides if I haven't used the thing before) to get exactly what I need within minutes. I just don't see why the former is preferable over the the latter. For some reason most new developers are no programmers but copy-monkeys... I also see way to many of my classmates just give up on programming because learning the basics is too hard to them. Everyone's input->reward system is screwed.

2x was a bit pessimistic, I would expert a bigger improvement. Also, if you apply Struct of Arrays, it opens the door to SIMD, which offers another potential 8x speed improvement with AVX. Being able to have many times more objects on the screen while maintaining 60 fps doesn't seem meaningless to me. And don't forget about mobile platforms and battery usage.

Any other layout engine can compile and optimize the declarative language into something completely different in working memory, and efficiently make changes during the course of the program. DOM-based layouts, especially HTML, require any changes made to the view be written back into the declarative document in memory, which is then effectively re-parsed to update the live view.

lol, exactly what I thought. In college we were taught the how, the process etc - somewhat as described in the comment above. You can follow through it all, follow the steps, do the math etc. Get the 'right' answer. But for me what was lacking in the pages and pages of formulas was the why of it all... I think the visualizations (fancy moving circles and epicycles) give more insight into why you're doing these pages and pages of formulas. Visualizations or straight math whynotboth.jpg

Why not, when computers will have hundreds? And 16gb of slow ram will be pennies? That's the way we're going. TVs dont need lots of RAM yet they get 8 core processors for AI assistants etc.

I happen to think most developers would like to build quick, cleanly written web sites that practice technological minimalism. It's product owners and project managers that keep pushing for 10 different tracking and analytics packages, chatbots that don't do anything except frustrate users, service integrations with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, widgets, pop-overs, confirmation-shaming pop-ups, ad nauseam. Things like AMP don't just force the discipline of not dynamically loading content, they also include most of that crap out of the box so you can simplify what you serve to being just your actual content.

Is that the case? I haven’t tested my java 12 eap build for Shenandoah yet, but my understanding was this added to openjdk proper, which oracle jdk is built off edit: I cannot confirm this claim. OpenJDK 12's EAP build clearly has some concept of the shenandoah flag, but claims the option is unsupported. I'm not sure if it's cause of my system or the build wasn't compiled with it. However, my distro's jdk 12 has no understanding of the shenandoah flag at all, claiming it doesn't exist instead of it not being supported, so I'm not sure what's going on just yet. I'm going to make sure my distribution is building with shenandoah enabled and see what happens from there.

Another utterly incompetent webshit who is sufficiently delusional to fancy himself "productive". Let me break it for you - you're not productive at all. Your code is shit. Your features are shit. You're slow. You know nothing about UX. You never conducted a blind UX testing on a reasonable focus group. You know nothing about the value of consistency. You're just a puny uneducated code monkey, and will always be worthless.

> Eventually, DeepSolar could correctly identify an image as containing solar panels 93 percent of the time and missed about 10 percent of images that did have solar installations. Does this mean its false positive rate is 7%? That would be really, really bad. With a measured 1.47 million installations in the US (where there are about 125 million houses), this would imply there's more than 1 install for every 100 houses. That's a lot.

Rust is a wonderful tool, but i's also far more difficult to master than plain old Javascript! I'm afraid this "rewrite all in rust" movement, despite its good intentions, might cut people off contributing to their favorite FOSS software...
