"Parens and Performance" – counterpost

"Parens and Performance" – counterpost

Kyle Simpson (@getify) wrote a very thoughtful post decrying optimize-js, which is a tool I wrote that exploits known optimizations in JavaScript engines to make JS bundles parse faster (especially minified bundles, due to what could be reasonably described as a bug in Uglify).

Kyle lays out a good case, but I tend to disagree with nearly all his points. So here's my rebuttal.

The case for Rollup and ES modules in frontend code

The case for Rollup and ES modules in frontend code

TLDR: Rollup and ES modules give us:

  • smaller bundles due to tree-shaking and scope-hoisting, and
  • faster runtime perf than CommonJS, by avoiding runtime module resolution

Sources to back up these wild claims:

Enabling TRIM Support on Mac OS X with Non-Apple SSDs

How To: Enable TRIM with Non-Apple SSD

The guide breaks the process down into three steps, all performed via copying and pasting the code snippets through the terminal window. To launch a terminal window, open the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder and select terminal.

The first step makes a backup of the original IOAHCIBlockStorage file called IOAHCIBlockStorage.original. You will be prompted to enter in your system password when using the "sudo" command, since you are modifying system files. Copy and paste the code into the terminal window, a successful or uneventful response is a new blank terminal line.

sudo cp /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage /System/Library/Extensions/IOAHCIFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/IOAHCIBlockStorage.kext/Contents/MacOS/IOAHCIBlockStorage.original

Next the code patches the IOAHCIBlockStorage file, removing the requirements that the SSD be made by Apple. Copy and paste t

How is git commit sha1 formed

Ok, I geeked out, and this is probably more information than you need. But it completely answers the question. Sorry. ☺

Locally, I'm at this commit:

commit d6cd1e2bd19e03a81132a23b2025920577f84e37

Date:   Sun Apr 15 16:35:03 2012 +0200

When I added FIRST/NEXT/LAST, it was idiomatic but not quite so fast. This makes it faster. Another little bit of masak++'s program.

Code highlighting for Keynote presentations

Step 0:

Get Homebrew installed on your mac if you don't already have it

Step 1:

Install highlight. "brew install highlight". (This brings down Lua and Boost as well)

Step 2:
