Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them
Make Ubuntu packages 90% faster by rebuilding them
TL;DR
You can take the same source code package that Ubuntu uses to build jq, compile it again, and realize 90% better performance.
Setting
I use jq for processing GeoJSON files and other open data offered in JSON format. Today I am working with a 500MB GeoJSON file that contains the Alameda County Assessor's parcel map. I want to run a query that prints the city for every parcel worth more than a threshold amount. The program is
Apparently a GKE cluster costs $75 a month; this is the most expensive component of the cloud bill for my side project. There is a free tier ... but I recently learned it only applies to zonal clusters, not regional clusters. Much to my chagrin. The pricing docs are very unclear.
So I moved from a regional cluster to a zonal cluster. If you know kube at all you know this is not the kind of thing kube makes easy.

Coding practices are a source of a lot of arguments among programmers. Coding standards, to some degree, help us to put certain questions to bed and resolve stylistic debates. No coding standard makes everyone happy. (And even their existence is sure to make some unhappy.) What follows are the standards we put together on the Core team, which have become the general coding standard for all programming teams on new code development. We’ve tried to balance the need for creating a common, recognizable and readable code base with not unduly burdening the programmer with minor code formatting concerns.
Add one line to your C/C++ source to make it executable.

I was talking to a coworker recently about general techniques that almost always form the core of any effort to write very fast, down-to-the-metal hot path code on the JVM, and they pointed out that there really isn't a particularly good place to go for this information. It occurred to me that, really, I had more or less picked up all of it by word of mouth and experience, and there just aren't any good reference sources on the topic. So… here's my word of mouth.
This is by no means a comprehensive gist. It's also important to understand that the techniques that I outline in here are not 100% absolute either. Performance on the JVM is an incredibly complicated subject, and while there are rules that almost always hold true, the "almost" remains very salient. Also, for many or even most applications, there will be other techniques that I'm not mentioning which will have a greater impact. JMH, Java Flight Recorder, and a good profiler are your very best friend! Mea
