Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 22/09/2026is it just the video, or does the app jank a bit when scrolling? 100
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I'll share a doc with you about what we should be doing imo 100
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026statically - group number maybe? generally you want to use composition/frame duration as you did below 010
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026that's not a stability recording, that's composition tracing 😛 000
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 21/09/2026man can we stop with stability pls, it is a very bad indicator that causes equality comparisons for no reasons 100

Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026unpacking ints is very cheap rn, I am not sure we can do better than this i'd rather write an internal lint and pray that most people don't use sizes for hashmap keys 100
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026like chatgpt.com#pricing is 2fps this is straight up abuse of the elderly (laptop) 020
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026one common feature of every llm app that I tried is a random animation that consumes 100% of CPU and puts my 2019 intel mac on its knees coding is solved they said 150
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026gc is not free and your ram is not either (because someone bought all of it) also, bad idea. I just want them to allow overriding hash on value classes really 120
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026first, don't do that, it is allocating an array (and boxes all values) just to compute a hashcode lmao second, it also doesn't help, just hashes over whatever the default hashcode is 220
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 23/08/2026if you are using Compose sizes or offsets as hashmap keys, consider a custom wrapper that does normal 31 * x + y kinda thing The hash for these is borked and is basically x ^ y, which is the same for a variety of pairs 260
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 22/08/2026turns out, sometimes it is a bad idea to pack ints into longs because jvm implemented Long hash as `v ^ (v >> 32)` 020

Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 20/06/2026you are waiting for fable, I am finally playing fable 2, we are not the same 070
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 10/06/2026not really, arrays are always a bit slower because bounds checks 110
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 10/06/2026i would expect llvm to be able to prove some offsets always pass (e.g. if array is somehow hinted to be always of size 2-3) and remove the checks, I do it all the time in Rust but I assume that Kotlin/Native does not really do hinting that well 110
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 10/06/2026even with all the wrong assumptions that llms make these days, the bug reports we are getting for /weird/ bugs are way better in quality it is still slop and the conclusions are mostly incorrect, sure, but i can at least start from a better place than when people would just copy paste an exception 000
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 09/06/2026it goes dispatch receiver, context parameters, extension receiver, the rest of the parameters 030
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 06/06/2026Journey / Abzu for chill vibes with nice graphics Night in the woods is close to LiS 1 narratively Outer Wilds is a mystery/timeloop situation, the game is less linear and relies on exploration. It is /very/ good 010
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 02/06/2026We all inevitably come to this loop given enough years of service. Wanted to blame some compiler bugs recently and oh boy it is my name all over them 030
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 02/06/2026also my favourite is "now the bug is ready to be reported to Compose or compiler teams" I am the Compose compiler team, my mechanical dude 3120
Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 02/06/2026the worst thing about talking to LLMs is that I started using "absolute" terms to make them actually do the job somehow their "good enough" is mine "barely passable" 110

Andrei Shikov @shikasd.bsky.social · 15/05/2026somehow I don't feel very different about reviewing AI slop it was always part of my job to review random apps code for performance issues... and llms are fairly consistent with how people actually write code 110
