<pikajude> check out this neato profiling output https://i.imgur.com/6cAOfMn.png
<audy> pikajude: javascript is so fast
<pikajude> i didn't know it was THAT fast
<audy> pikajude: probably too close to the metal for the clock to time it
<pikajude> hey ljharb, do you know if it's possible to turn profiling on and off during the run of a node.js program
<ljharb> i don't think so
<ljharb> not sure tho
<pikajude> cool
<pikajude> i guess that's true for most other languages
<pikajude> so node.js is saved a steaming hatefuck today
<cloudhead> :o
<pikajude> ahahaha
<pikajude> every guide on the internet tells you to run node --prof
<pikajude> because apparently every nontrivial node program is just a tiny one-off shell script
<pikajude> and then load the resulting log file into chrome
<pikajude> if chrome crashes while trying to load your log file, fuck off
<cloudhead> I don't think node was ever meant for serious business
<cloudhead> I don't know why people still try
<pikajude> oh right, also
<pikajude> if chrome does load your log file, and 76% of the runtime is in a 5000-node-deep tree whose leaves are all labeled "Unknown", then you can ESPECIALLY go fuck yourself

<alva> i hate that y'all have to deal with node badness and it also makes me feel less crazy for not having good experiences with it
<alva> ...while seemingly everyone was showering it in praise
<ljharb> node's great but nobody's saying there's no bad part
<ljharb> s
<pikajude> no i agree
<pikajude> i'm just the guy saying there's no good part
<pikajude> but keep in mind that's because i'm using 0.10
<pikajude> before they invented node that isn't shit
