...h good. You'll probably have to roll your own. But sure, I'd like free CPU cycles too. I just happen to care much more about free developer cycles and am willing to trade the former for the latter. i.e. throwing more hardware or machines at the problem is cheaper than hiring more develop...

...Pivot demo "Kitchen sink", after opening some groups it keeps eating whole CPU. If it's because of Pivot design, then I definitely don't want it in my projects. – Display Name Jun 20 '13 at 21:11 ...

... as simple a guarantee of correctness as I can and hence not have to waste CPU cycles and brain cycles on checks and edge-cases, and being appropriately mutable or immutable helps there), but it would counter any knee-jerk reaction to your saying immutability can be slower. – J...

...his definition is a bit vague. A decade ago a 'platform' would either be a CPU architecture or an operating system. In recent years handheld and media devices can be platforms too. The interpretation As with everything on the web, our fate is in the hands of the mighty browser vendors. In this case...

... in the heap, which means that iterated lookup is much cheaper in terms of CPU time. A List does not guarantee contiguous storage. – noisesmith Dec 10 '13 at 18:34 ...

...l. Mentally parsing a JADE template vs. raw HTML requires equal 'wetware' cpu time for me. I won't go so far as to say you're unprofessional if you disagree, but to me it's the same thing. @ Philipp, your analogy of parsing C/C++ to assembly being equal to parsing JADE to HTML is poor, there are ...

...e. The bounds checking is often no big deal (especially if you are on a cpu with a deep pipeline and branch prediction - the norm for most these days) but only your own profiling can tell you if that is an issue. If you are in parts of your code where you are avoiding heap allocations (good exam...

...lers like clang choose not to use reciprocal + Newton for scalar on recent CPUs, because it's usually not faster. In most loops, div isn't the only operation, so total uop throughput is often the bottleneck even when there's a divps or divss. See Floating point division vs floating point multiplic...

... memory alignment done by a particular JVM implementation for a particular CPU type. It looks like a Long is 8 bytes of Object overhead, plus 8 bytes more for the actual long value. In contrast, Integer had an unused 4-byte hole, most likely because the JVM I use forces object alignment on an 8-byte...

...ntrol in JS (i.e. you're at the mercy of the browser) 2) if you want to do CPU intensive work then JS is not the best language. Consider using C instead. There are JSON libraries for C – Aadit M Shah Oct 6 '13 at 16:51 ...
