Seems like #jpegxl has been written off too early, with it seemingly having better #performance that #avif https://giannirosato.com/blog/post/image.. Apparently #browser #developers have up on it due to " #complexity ", which seems like as great #excuse not to #implement it.
The new #arduino #ide is looking pretty cool, although people are already #complaining that it is not great on #performance https://hackaday.com/2022/09/28/arduino-.. Interesting move anyway!
Nice #persistent #keyvalue #store #database #library for #python that is #persistent and has better #performance than #sqlite named #dbm https://remusao.github.io/posts/python-d.. I wonder how well it handles #random #close , etc. Would be great of it also handles #crashing !
#oasis is a really interesting #project to #statically #link the entire #linux #kernel https://github.com/oasislinux/oasis Apparently speed wise the #performance is insane. The #hackernews #comments are worth a #read on this one: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=324.. Lots of great #arguments either way.
#intel have just #accelerated their #raytracing #performance on their #gpu 's with a *single line of code* that #allocates #memory #locally , rather than on the #system https://www.phoronix.com/news/Intel-Vulk.. The change increases performance by *100%!*
Might be worth checking out the #keyvalue #store of the new #sqlite 4 #release https://sqlite.org/src4/doc/trunk/www/de.. I'm still quite happy with the #performance of #udatabase https://gitlab.com/danbarry16/u-database I still need to work on that to make it work with #embedded #systems - the only real #issue is making sure the #hashing works.
Hmm, #intel #purposefully acting very #shady by #crippling the #performance of #amd #cpu when using the #intel #compiler https://www.agner.org/forum/viewtopic.ph..
Interesting, it appears that there is some #nginx #performance #improvement by doing #tls and #ssl in the #kernel https://www.nginx.com/blog/improving-ngi.. Pretty cool.
#samsung #caught #rigging #performance #benchmarks to #sell their #phones https://hackaday.com/2022/03/10/galaxy-u.. Apparently they #disable #cooling #measures whilst running #whitelisted #benchmarks . Problem is, they can't run like this normally as it would lead to the #device #overheating !
#sqlite apparently has a #virtual #machine #embedded within it called #vdbe or #virtual #database #engine https://medium.com/@JasonWyatt/squeezing.. Also I see some #performance numbers that appear to indicate that #udatabase is significantly faster than #sqlite for an #insertion https://medium.com/hackernoon/squeezing-.. Very cool!
Awesome #effort to #speedup the #rendering #performance of #openscad https://ochafik.com/jekyll/update/2022/0.. Some very #promising exploration going on in that space!
Awesome, the #raspberrpi #os #raspbian now ships in 64 bit! https://hackaday.com/2022/02/04/a-64-bit.. Apparently there should be a small #performance #boost as a result...

No #js of course!So it appears to be #firefox making my #machine grind to a halt by eating tonnes of #ram and #cpu - specifically it appears to be #invidious and #cloudflare causing tonnes of #network #traffic . Reducing #memory usage helped slightly, but it appears to really be eating system resources: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fir.. I think I need a #youtube #alternative !
Pretty awesome to see #java continuing to #improve as a #language - not only in #features but also in #speed / #performance ! https://www.optaplanner.org/blog/2021/09.. As others have pointed out, Java can be a bit screwy due to breaking support between versions 8 and 9. A lot of people are stuck using Java 8, like this #server is due to #string support.
Interesting point about #gracefully #degrading a #system on purpose to prevent entire system #lockup https://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/GracefulD.. In theory #linux could do something similar for #desktop users to prevent #swap completely destroying system #performance when #ram usage becomes too high.
Apparently changing your old #apple #iphone #region to #france will enable higher #performance https://www.gizchina.com/2021/08/23/old-.. This is because Apple was #fined for not considering *actual* #battery state when #throttling performance and whether the phone is actually plugged in. For some reason they didn't roll out this change to all regions though?
