I'll pick third-party

@olives I love how it has a bulbous bow in order to cut through he space-waves more efficiently and use less fuel :) lolol

@sdgathman

I mean, if you need a space-effecient GC there are quite a few options. Of course the issue with Python is the GIL, less of an issue in C-Python though.

@icedquinn @verita84

@sdgathman

Yea absolutely, the inefficient usage of memory in terms of spaces is entirely legit. In fact thats part of the reason its so fast, because it pre-slates the memory too (meaning it uses the memory regardless of if you use it or not)... but also object storage can be more expensive since it wont clean up right away...

The age old tradeoff of more space being consumed for the advantage of faster speed.

@icedquinn @verita84

@sdgathman

You joke but to be fair what seperates an expert from a noob is nuance like this. An expert probably wouldnt make those sorts of little mistakes too often to begin with.

@icedquinn @verita84

@admitsWrongIfProven Yea, it will likely be a long turn around.. the industry will fall quite a ways farther before it realizes it fucked up. AI for lead roles is pretty cringe and honestly the more physical special effects was always much better, still is.

@admitsWrongIfProven I think it depends.

AI is fine when we talk about masses of people such as wide angle war scenes. When it comes to lead roles the humans are better for sure.

@admitsWrongIfProven There is that too, if the humans deserve the pay they will either get it or the industry fails... They are either worth it or their not.

@Amikke

Java has several GC options that wont stop the world and ones that are super low latency as well as ones that are time constant (takes the same time to freeup a 100 TB heap as it does a 1KB heap)..

It is quite extrodinary how performant the Java GC is, out of all the memory managed languages it is probably the most efficient, if you know how to use it.

@icedquinn

@enoch

Sounds like Putin and Hillary have the same psychiatrist.

@flexghost

@icedquinn do you have real world java code and some sort of diagnostic showing your GC problem? I can probably help you fix it if so. If you are already calling System.GC() as you wanted (though probably dont need to) then your issue is likely either in your choice of GC algorithm or its configuration.

@icedquinn

Did you read what I said... as I said you can do that... you just have no need to stop and restart the health check. Though you can if you really want to for some reason.

System.gc(), call it when you have downtime, you now just accomplished what you wanted.

@icedquinn

Nah, usually the problem is the coders are just clueless as to how to properly work with the GC. Its very common to have shitty coders when it comes to performance issues.

@verita84

@verita84

I have heard that claim many times... every single time when I investigated it wasnt true and came down to user error (or a lack of understanding in the mechanics of the GC)... Probably 200 times in my career as the guy consultant people call in to fix other peoples mess.

Pbviously in your case I cant say much more without seeing the code or knowing more of the problem... but not once has the GC ever actually turned out to be the problem in the end.

@icedquinn

@icedquinn

Java lets you do that.

System.gc()

If you call that it prioritized the GC, except you dont need to stop. you can keep running and the GC will clean up the 8gb heap without needing to stop your program at all (though you are welcome to stop if you have nothign to do and speed up the GC a bit I guess).
