When your high-performance applications have a no-heap-allocation policy, you need allocation detection systems! But is it possible without impacting the production services? Let's find out: https://t.co/ZvfpX9tYHl #dotnet #EventPipe #Profiling #csharp

Not so hot take. Every time you use a tricky things, write a comment explaining why its needed.

One of such things is 'Task.Yield()'. Can be very helpful to make an async method really "async", but explanation is very much needed.

Found the usage with no comments:

MEDIA RELEASE
Government’s New Gas Exploration Permits Put Climate at Risk

Expanding 🇦🇺's gas production in the middle of a climate emergency is not just short-sighted: it treats our Pacific Island neighbours and future generations with contempt #auspol

The real test duration was closer to 16 seconds than hours... And it's not the first time I see a drunk stopwatch on Linux. 😅

ConcurrentLinkedDeque in Java is non-linearizable. Here is the Lincheck test that reveals the issue and explains the root cause of the problem.

I've also put this code on GitHub: https://t.co/oAomYwsQJ2

It did almost crush me.

The only reason it didn't is because of my amazing lawyers & the generosity of 28,887 people.

But here's what you don't know. The judgment is *extraordinary*. 117 pages of FACTS.

About Russia, Brexit & the man who funded it.

For anyone who is sometimes struggling to comprehend the enormous speed of the energy transition towards renewables (myself included), this deck by the Rocky Mountain Institute is a gold mine.

@michael_timbs @horacergonzalez @GergelyOrosz I guess it’s the whole paradigm that you don’t like then.

Hey everyone. I am urgently looking for a contract now, if anyone knows of any (very) senior developer/architect roles in the #dotnet world please let me know.

(DMs open, pls RT)

@gregyoung @uiterlix If the large man can also buy a gun as well it doesn’t really change the equation.
As a side note if we are talking about personal protection only a handgun would suffice for everyone so the confusion could be limited.

@prdoyle @buybackoff @gunnarmorling @nietras1 @royvanrijn @thomaswue @CameronAavik If you are suggesting he makes claims for hypothetical C++ implementations that seems pretty un-empirical. He can only compare to things that actually exist. Btw, have you looked at the C++ implem? Have you read the blog post?

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

@prdoyle @buybackoff @gunnarmorling @nietras1 @royvanrijn @thomaswue @CameronAavik If you look at the results he had access to at the time of writing the tweet you’ll see that his .NET implementation was faster than the C++ implementation for bigger result sets.
There was no claim about C++ itself only the C++ implementation.

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

@prdoyle @buybackoff @gunnarmorling @nietras1 @royvanrijn @thomaswue @CameronAavik All that is being compared are measurements (on the same hardware). Any qualitative assumptions based on them are being drawn by you and not @buybackoff .

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

@deemkeen @buybackoff @gunnarmorling @nietras1 @royvanrijn @thomaswue @CameronAavik To say one thing is better than another is not to say that the other thing is bad... There was no comment on what java is capable of in any @buybackoff 's tweets or the blog, he just focuses on what he _has_ done in .NET.

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

@xstefank @forked_franz @kgonia7 @maxandersen @AndrewHaley13 @gunnarmorling I think Effective Java should get a good portion of the blame too. Also, it's not just at schools, the guidelines are enforced as policy in companies too.

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

Awesome blog post!

[Victor Baybekov @buybackoff]

Polished some text, added really nice result tables that cannot paste as a picture. And added a "YOLO Optimizations" section with links and quotes to our recent discussions with

[Victor Baybekov @buybackoff]

This is hopefully the beginning of the end😅. Added .NET and Java comparable numbers, finally in one place. See the notes. That was fun, but I'm tired 🛌 @gunnarmorling @royvanrijn @ElliotBarlas @pedro_travi @hexawyz #1brc

[Quentin Dempster @QuentinDempster]

Peter Hartcher ⁦@smh⁩ exposes the misinformation driving No. It’s not about race. It’s about indigeneity. Terra nullius was used to justify dispossession. “If we were in Lapland, we would be blond and blue eyed .. and we’d still be indigenous”. Yes to Recognition/Voice.

[Mendel Monteiro @MendelMonteiro]

@GeoffreyHuntley @evolvable I don’t think racist is the right term to use, it’d benefit a group of people and their ancestors that lived here before the rest of us turned up. Whether that is defined by race is not the point. If you’re of another race and can show you were here before then it’d be the same.
