Beyond the DevTools: Profiling WebApps at the Assembly Level - Leaning Technologies

https://leaningtech.com/beyond-the-devtools-profiling-webapps-at-the-assembly-level/

At Leaning Technologies, we constantly strive to push the boundaries of browser performance, making performance optimization a crucial concern for our developers. Thanks to groundbreaking technologies like CheerpX and CheerpJ, we have successfully redefined what was previously considered achievable within the browser’s environment. While working on such advanced projects, we soon encountered the limitations of...

Note taking methodologies for dense CS textbooks

Note taking methodologies for dense CS textbooks

Hey Beehaw!

I've recently received a copy of Physically Based Rendering 4th edition. I've been going through the book slowly, but have had a hard time retaining information. I used to use markdown to take extensive notes, but found that I would end up copying too much useless information. Also, writing latex notes for math is painfully slow.

I was wondering what note taking methodologies you all use. I think my ideal note taking method would fulfill three criteria:

  1. Minimal note-taking overhead: Doesn't take too much time to create notes. (Esp for complex math expressions)
  2. Easy to reference: The notes should be brief and easy to comprehend at a glance. They should also be searchable.
  3. Easy to store: Minimal physical presence. I tend to lose papers all the time.

Android Developer community

Hello! I've been a hobbyist programmer for a couple years, and now I want to turn this hobby into my day job. I find Android a fascinating platform so I've started my learning path. Google search, pointed me to google developer codelabs, and they pretty fun!

However, I'm getting a little stuck, and am looking for a community of android developers. I'm avoiding Twitter and Reddit at all costs, but a lot of resources have pointed me there, any other places I should check out, or learning resources other then Google themselves? For context, I'm learning Jetpack compose with Kotlin and Android Studio.

Work-Efficiency vs. Step-Efficiency

https://bheisler.github.io/post/work-efficiency-vs-step-efficiency/

At work recently, I found myself trying to explain the Work-Efficiency vs Step-Efficiency tradeoff to a coworker, but when I searched for online resources to help I couldn’t find any that I liked, so I decided to take a shot at writing my own. I found this idea presented in a video lecture series about programming for GPGPUs on Youtube a while ago. However, it’s just as applicable to any form of parallel processing, from SIMD instructions running on a single CPU core up to massive clusters of thousands of computers.

Should we clone reddit posts?

Should we clone reddit posts?

From a technical and legal standpoint, ignoring ethics and dignity, is there anything preventing us from scripting a scraper that recreates reddit posts in a lemmy instance? Like maybe top 100 posts of the top 50 subreddits, without comments. I think it would help convince people to join, since the major argument for sticking with reddit is that it has more content. Thoughts?
