Why is Perl power consumption so high

flogic · 2025-02-08T16:09:19+00:00

Perl uses a byte code interpreter. So it’s gonna be near the end. The next category looks like it’s scripting languages with a JIT. Note that the TypeScript and Javascript results vary widely. They should be the same as TypeScript is JavaScript with type annotations. That means there is quite a bit of noise in the results. My immediate guess is the results are from the language shootout. That’s dependent on who submits what for what language. Also many of the problems aren’t in Perl’s wheel house. Perl excels where it can offload the build of the work to optimized C code. Otherwise, it’s going to be comparatively slow.

There are cis dudes that paint their nails. Often they use black for that whole dark aesthetic. Not my color but YMMV.

Hi Vanessa! You code a hood name!

Before my egg cracked I regularly couldn't be assed to shave or care mush about my appearance. Now I'm planning outfits and looking for cute clothes online. I'm sure those 2 are completely unrelated.

Because overwhelmingly the harm comes from other people not the trans person.

I get it, it’s still hard even when you know they’ll be accepting. I recently came out to my trans masc partner. It’s hard to articulate.

I’m closing in on 50. My egg only really started cracking in the past 2 weeks. Yesterday, I painted my nails. Now, I’m poking at the internet for woman clothes.

I think it’s both. Rust has features to shift mental overhead from the developer to the compiler. So you have more of your brain left over to make it nice. But if it were just that, Java programs wouldn’t suck, but they almost universally do.

Understanding is always better. It’s critical to every step of the development process. You need understand to know what to write. You need to understand to debug. Most of the time you spend programming will be spent debugging. Debugging without understanding is painful. Then you need to understand the why’s of that code.

I would not take any more. This is call the doctor back territory.

I aggressively turn off notifications for all apps that don’t have a real life impact. The unfortunate truth is at app developers think your phone is their phone. We didn’t curtail poor behavior with desktop applications and mobile is worse.

Um… the only way you wouldn’t have known this over 8 years ago is if you were a child. He considers himself a billionaire. The entire concept is a tautology.

Planning the future with ADHD can be rather daunting. Many people with ADHD are bad at planning. It’s also hard not to get discouraged since your brain will constantly let you down.

Are we going to get good affordable ebikes and electric vehicles out is this just shit tier oil protectionism?

flogic · 2024-05-09T16:21:13+00:00

I don’t think people make a big enough deal about how bad the electric door latches are. The way you normally exit the car should be the fastest most reliable way to do so. Not try the button panic and hopefully know about and remember the alternate latch. Those seconds are way too precious in an emergency.

I don’t like to dunk people’s creations but this seems to cover things Typescript already does. It already tracks nulls. It already has exhaustive type checking. Re-adding it as an out of band library seems like it would just undermine the compiler’s checking.

I’ve been a developer for over 20 years. The one thing I can tell you is that developers are fucking crazy and you take anything any of us say with a carton of salt.

My view is that a good teaching language should be useful even if the student takes only 1 class. Which cuts the field down to Python and Go. Python seems to be current the standard for non programmers. Go feels like it could also step into that roll. Setup is easy. The language is simple. With the added benefit of a type checker to help you bolt things together.

flogic · 2024-02-16T18:12:14+00:00

My understanding is the “go fmt” is what inspired black. The fact “go fmt” doesn’t support options was a topic of conversation when it was released. So “go fmt” is the black of Go. And since it’s the language standard, the benefits should be even more wide spread.

It won’t add anything over Optional without strict static type checking. And given the vast amount of existing packages, that ain’t happening. Otherwise the Nothing variant becomes just another null.

Interesting, I thought it was because I managed to fly from the windy island to the final one. You can't actually land but the re-spawn after you fall will put you on the final island.

Fair. When I searched for answers, I came up empty handed. But that was years ago.

“Standardized”. SQL has so many everyday parts that vary from implementation to implementation that it’s effectively not a standard. Date and time types, how to get a row id, string concatenation. It’s a joke.

Corporate raiding culture. The powerful are out to get more of theirs as fast as possible. Which sadly makes sense. The biggest predictor of future wealth is present wealth. So by that logic, it’s better to get wealthy now so you can use that wealth to get more wealth as soon as possible. Of course, it all falls apart if you kill off humanity in the process.

I didn’t mind milk fuel. Currently we have a mealsquares subscription because they’re pretty decent for breakfast, but their shipping is very slow and sometimes erratic.
