I'm still getting used to the new glorious world order where I have my desktop absolutely covered in assorted open applications, think "gosh I'd better close some of these before my machine starts thrashing", open up system status and nope, 3.5GB / 8GB currently in use. For real though people do need to stop bitching about modern applications' memory utilisation. Yeah I know, it's great that people used to make usable OSes with GUIs and stuff that fit into 512KB of RAM and kids these days just waste memory like it's going out of fashion. Some dude also went out and wrote a full-length novel without using the letter e. It's possible, but why not concentrate on writing good literature instead of framing every minute task along the way in the context of a crushing ambient limitation. Also, people who are used to 21st century OSX and Linux environments probably don't realise how lovely those old UNIX environments actually were compared to a modern Bash shell and GNU coreutils and Vim or whatever. I mean I program $4 microcontrollers that have more RAM than a PDP-11. On real computers I like being able to just load an entire image/XML document/result set into memory like I don't give a gently caress instead of stuffing everything through a piecemeal stream transform.

The machines I work with have 10s to 100s of gb of RAM. Memory usage is the number one factor in performance on these. More data is more processing time, it's pretty simple really.

i played around with processing last night, it was interesting. it's really, really hard for me to think about equations graphically, though, so i'm pretty sure that graphics programming is Not For Me in any way beyond "pasting together code samples." some guy in the creative coding thread in CoC said he made a harmonograph implementation in it, so i did too, and man i do not understand the equations behind it at all:  via http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonograph#Computer-generated_harmonograph_figure. like, i mean obviously i could read it and translate it into code just fine, but i can't even begin to envision how it actually works but hey i plugged in some numbers i found online for the various d, f, and p, and got this sweet butterfly:  regardless, i wanna keep trying. basically want to make some crazy-looking visuals that look like they'd be projected behind a band or something. hell, could even make a proper music video out of it i bet

so try to work it out. you're not going to learn anything if your reaction to something you don't already understand is "i dont understand that!!!!!! better not tax myself by actually trying to figure it out" start with the parametric way to draw a circle: x=r cos(t) and y=r sin(t) (recall that cos is just sin but 90 deg out of phase) and build it up from there note that you can use different r vals in each if you want to draw an ellipse or e.g. double up the t value inside one of the sins if you want a figure of 8 or knock one of them out of phase if you want to pinch the thing diagonally or dampen the thing (recall the shape of e^-x as x increases) if you want it to die down as t increases i suggest working with a simpler pair: x(t) = A1 * cos(f1 t + p1) * e-d1t y(t) = A2 * sin(f2 t + p2) * e-d2t start with p1=p2=0 and d1=d2=0 and play with A1 and A2 and f1 and f2

Wheany posted:the biggest thing we have done to optimize the performance of our ui: back when i was a coding baby with lots of enthusiasm i took this approach for the automatic playlist updating on gbsfm. it automatically asked the server for data every 5s and it got to the point where one set of updating queries wouldn't actually finish before the next set starting going so they'd just snowball. leaving a tab open for ages could mean you ended up with hundreds of ongoing queries and would eventually grind the whole site to a halt at both ends. bunching everything together in one query meant that all went away and gbsfm is now 100% Bug Free™

Wheany posted:the biggest thing we have done to optimize the performance of our ui: a lack of multiplexing in http is a known problem. but really that could be considered a fault of tcp instead (especially when you consider things like congestion control problems with multiple tcp streams) hooray for javascript workarounds for network protocol issues.
