I remember when I insanely optimized some radar simulation code for the DOD by removing a bunch of render() calls and just having one at the end of main execution loop. My indian boss said DO NOT! tell them you did that. We need to make them pay for it!

Seems half legit, but same idea.

I have no idea what you are talking about, but your boss is a street shit jew.

Essentially simulation or "painting" a canvas is an expensive operation. Instead of calling the render/paint function once, its called multiple times which increases the amount of resources required.

This is nothing new. I had a boss insist we add a timed progress bar to make an instantaneous page update look like it was actually doing something complicated... He even wanted me to add a set of fictitious processes it was supposed to update with as it plodded through its 4s+/-0.75s process...

Just like what TurboTax does today... if people only knew.

It's why I despise modern software dev. Back when memory mattered you had to fully understand how the metal worked. Milliseconds and bytes mattered.

Imagine modern software capabilities if the copy/paste cowboys actually understood what they plagiarised off stackoverflow...

I read a lot of Hacker News, and people are always complaining about the cut-and-past StackOverflow code that ends up in different software, bugs and all. It seems this is a favorite thing to do with Indian and Paki programmers.

Like when you first tried to look up someone’s info and land on one of those background check websites that have this ridiculous progress bar and messages fresh out of a cheesy CSI show.

C++ if I guess correctly?

And I assume that the time.sleep is like a "wait 2000 milliseconds" thing?

I am not a coder so it is all guesswork.

I think what made me think it was javascript first was code outside of a function. That might be possible too in c++ but if so insanely frowned upon. More than insanely.

My thought was it was javascript. Which is usually transmitted in cleartext so this is retarded. I guess, um, he thought his Chinese was code talk

not even close. a proper c++ function has like 8 decorations and half of them are macros. then you need different #ifdefs for different calling conventions, inline macro versions, and linkage specifiers

this doesn't even have a type-obscured return value! amateur hour! get a real return type with move semantics and constexpr optimization potential! do you even r-value bro?

Var is legacy for defining variables in Javascript I believe. Not sure how many languages use var.

Prepended edit (hmmm): http://blog.niftysnippets.org/2008/03/horror-of-implicit-globals.html

What's legacy about it? I haven't kept up, and my search says you have to use it.

Apparently, it's also legal in C# beginning in version 3. I didn't know that.

I only just started trying to pick up Javascript, but from what I've seen.. the 'let' keyword is best practice, the course I'm using says to use 'let' rather than 'var'.

I'm not sure what the difference really is though.

GDScript (Godot's language) uses the var keyword

They improve on things or try..they see how crafty and insidious the Jews are and how they control the US. They are studying and adapting.

Why not just put it as sleep for 5500ms instead of 3000 then 2500 - that's the bit that confuses me

The client has paid twice, every time the client pays they cut off 500ms

>whoosh

Because it was 3000, then 2500, then 2000...

I'm betting the client paid good money for each half second improvement...
