The last time I dealt with user input that was customer facing was 6 years ago. Now I don’t even deal with strings other than to display static messages.

The problem with the world is that people are insufficiently focused on the bottom line of their employer. Never make anything better unless a wealthy man profits from it within the current fiscal year.

Artifactory limited at ~250KB/s is hell. (and obviously this was a tiny fraction of what I did during the last year )

I think shrinking a binary by that much must have saved your colleagues a lot of annoying time waiting for an installer. This year I spent a few weeks getting something that used to take 10-15 minutes down to 3-5 seconds. Then I spent a few days getting it down to less than 2. I’m more proud of shaving those last seconds, it made the whole experience silky smooth.

literally just had a conversation about how increased bandwidth usage was an expected result of field-level e2e encryption because it makes transport-level compression ineffective

everybody's favourite plang is getting a jit. i'm kind of surprised by how basic it is, but i guess you gotta start somewhere and start simple the way it's been implemented (with the build time c functions getting compiled into "templates") seems like a huge hack, but then i have literally no idea about how jits are normally implemented
|
# ? Jan 10, 2024 23:31 |

that is definitely one of the standard ways to implement a lovely jit. or, if you’re visual basic, a static compiler

okay, i skimmed the post, and it is describing this byte to template expansion as if it’s way more novel and interesting than it really is. pretty sure there were jits doing that in the 90’s

yeah I was reading papers about that in the early 2000s, and they weren’t new papers IIRC

yeah, pretty astonishing that they claim that template-based compilation is somehow new, but I haven't read that 2021 OOPSLA paper. This is also how the Hotspot Java interpreter works - for each instruction set there's a template table for each bytecode instruction, so something simple like pushing a constant would look likeC code:

also the notion of "copy-and-patch JIT"s sound a heck of a lot like the so-called copy-and-annotate binary translation techniques that were popular back in the day, perhaps you would like to learn more starting at about the 15 minute mark of https://www.infoq.com/presentations/dynamic-analysis-tools/
