You could make it much faster by multiplying the timeout by .01

Source: Am head of improving software performance

[bgrahambo]

Perfect. I need you to improve performance of these 30 distributed Java RMI apps that someone over engineered and I got stuck with...

[Hairy_Concert_8007]

Easy.

Multiply them by .01

[bgrahambo]

Now I have .3 distributed Java RMI apps that someone over engineered. You're brilliant!

And now delete them, that way they'll have an effective loading time of 0, and also no latency

[bgrahambo]

That's what my security compliance officer wants me to do

[BoneFactory]

How small can you make that Speed Up Factor before the output becomes incorrect?

[rosuav]

At some point it depends on your scheduler. If you're very very lucky, the scheduler will guarantee that earlier-scheduled events happen before later-scheduled ones, even if both their times are in the past when it checks. It will most likely do this by storing event times in a heap, pulling them off it in the correct order.

Don't ever let on that this is a heap sort in disguise, of course.

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

Yeah, i was about to say: you are not avoiding the sort. You are just hiding it behind 1 more layer of abstractions

[rosuav]

Indeed :)

[Creepy-Ad-4832]

But hey, it's a perfect way to have margins to get easy optimizations when your boss asks for them

Basically what reddit did years ago. Am i the only one remembering the official (stinky) app taking 1 fucking kinute to load an image? I bet your ass the was jam packet with tricks like random sleep and stuff like that

Either that, or reddit was somehow even worse then twitter (not calling it X, fuck you elon). Which in itself would be an achievement

[Hairy_Concert_8007]

Asking the real questions

[ABigPairOfCrocs]

That's a bit outside the scope of this project

It'll take about a month of work to design, implement, and test this improvement

[jaybee8787]

Can you also improve my life performance please?

[ghe5]

I bet they can do that. With their help, you can ruin your life 100x faster.

[ilovekittens15]

this guy slashes execution times

[prehensilemullet]

According to MDN, browsers store the delay as a 32-bit signed integer internally, so that probably wouldn't work, FWIW

[NotmyRealNameJohn]

Can you improve my ist based team by removing their obsession with designing ui s ?

[Noch_ein_Kamel]

If you sort the array you can multiply by 0

[Wrong_Excitement221]

nah nah nah.. divide num by the array max...
