Conclusion: performance-sensitive, deeply-stacked callback code should not be converted to async-await.

\n
\n

also updating benchmarks to send and receive destructured values shows significant performance drop, so that async/await with array destructuring is very slow only getting about ~200,000 ops/sec on this local machine.

\n

To elaborate, callback functions may receive multiple values, for example,

\n
callback(function (a, b, c, d) {\n  // ...\n})\n

async function callers must receive one value and separate values are found with lookups or slower destructuring,

\n
[a, b, c, b] = await asyncfn();\n

sending and receiving destructured values drops performance significantly, so that async/await with array destructuring is very slow only getting about ~200,000-300,000 ops/sec on the local machine here.

Allow people to choose a role, in favor of

\n
    \n
  1. "a complete rewrite", or
    2. \n
  2. incrementally improving the current system
    3. \n
\n

Proceed with any unanimous decision, otherwise, begin a competition. Rewrite-proponents build "their" new system in a competion against supporters of the old system. If the new system achieves superiority, it "wins" and replaces the old system. The old system "wins" if problem-areas are resolved before it can replaced. Individuals may change sides any time and, if one side is abandonded, the other wins.

\n

Hypotheses: development activity of both groups would be intense, so that velocity for each competing-project would be higher than the velocity of a single project with all individuals assigned to it.

\n

Proponents of the rewrite would validate their claims of making a system that is "small, clean, simple, modern and easy to maintain" etc. Proponents of the legacy system would validate their claims the current system will be fine "when it is finished in two weeks" or months etc.

Here, I'll share what's needed to package and install an html/js app as a "click" package for Ubports. Download this little demo app and follow along to create a .click package with it.

\n

It does not use electron or node-webkit, but uses a web container provided by the Ubports system.

\n

Get started

\n

\"scrounge\"

\n

First, download or clone the app and visit it with a shell. Use npm to install and run it locally and to see it in your browser.

\n
$ npm install\n$ npm start # after express starts, use a browser to visit http://localhost:3000/\n

It runs! You should see a scripted alert box. Most webapps are developed around a local service such as this, where changes can be seen in the browser.

\n

Make a .click package!

\n

\"scrounge\"

\n

Now you're ready to make a .click package. Call the included makeclick.sh script. This script can be customised along with the boilerplate files found in ./platform/click.

\n
$ bash ./makeclick.sh\n[...] generate .click: ubports-little-webapp-1.0.0\n[...] clean sources\n[...] write sources\n[...] write manifest version\n[...] write click\nNow executing: click-review ./ubports-little-webapp_1.0.0_all.click\n./ubports-little-webapp_1.0.0_all.click: pass\nSuccessfully built package in './ubports-little-webapp_1.0.0_all.click'.\n

Test a .click package!

\n

One of the best ways to test your .click package is to install it on a device.\nInstall adb if you haven't done that already, then turn on your device and usb-connect it. Be sure "Developer mode" is enabled (System Settings > About > Developer mode).

\n
$ adb push ubports-little-webapp_1.0.0_all.click /tmp # copy to the device\n$ adb shell # enter the device\n$ pkcon install-local --allow-untrusted /tmp/ubports-little-webapp_1.0.0_all.click # install\nInstalling files              [=========================]\nFinished                      [=========================]\nInstalling files              [=========================]\nTesting changes               [=========================]\nStarting                      [=========================]\nFinished                      [=========================]\nInstalled   \tubports-little-webapp-1.0.0.all\n

gani is still a work in progress. Building a design language is difficult. The language must be generic enough to describe future designs unknown to the author. If too verbose, the language becomes unwieldy. Modifying the language may cause backward-compatibility issues for the interpreter software (also challenging to write).

\n

If pattern files are web-accessed, one needs to organize them in ways to minimize requests. The difficulty increases if you have locale and/or language specific content in your application.

Stobo was designed for stop-motion animation production. Its basic image formatting and copying abilities allow you to use production images in real-time with any software on any operating system that python operates on. For example, Stobo will take the pictures your camera saves, and sequentially rotate them and shrink them and save them to a folder on your OSX production system where Final Cut Pro or Apple Shake are queued to preview the sequence.

\n

You will need to install Python 2.6 and the PIL image library to use Stobo. If you are using linux or osx you will additionally need to install wxpython. Stobo is multi-threaded for responsiveness.

Today I'm releasing Stobo-1.0

\n

\"stobo\"

\n

The 1.0'ness of this release signifies my opinion that Stobo is fully functional software. It has not been idiot-proofed yet, but that'll've happened in the 2.0 release.

\n

Here's what Stobo is. It's the missing stop-motion link in the free software chain. Stobo will 'listen' to a directory and will recognize image files if any appear in the directory. All image files in the directory are automatically copied, formatted, renamed, and saved to another location (for example, a network-mounted directory).

\n

It's free. it's cross-platform. It's camera-agnostic. It's easy to use. If you don't see the utility of this, you are either a) not a stopmotion animator, b) using the wrong work-flow or c) you are person who likes spending money (don't be ashamed).

\n

If you are 'c)', I still recommend that you take a look at Stobo. If you use Stobo, you'll be able to access the developer, me, for suggestions or help at any time. Note: I do love you, but don't abuse that :).

\n

This script is for you if you are trying to develop actionscript software on an Ubuntu linux system. The script sets a mime type for .as and creates a syntax highlighting scheme that any gtksourceview application will auto-associate with your actionscript files. What that means is that mono delvelop, anjuta and gedit will correctly auto-highlight your .as files.

\n

Julien Castelain authored XML and LANG files that are used by the script. His original files came packaged with directives that didn't create correct mime-types on an Ubuntu system. I wrapped the files in a script so that the correct setup is automated.

\n

download the file and, from a terminal, run this:

\n
$ sudo bash /path/to/add_flash_mime.sh\n

Restart your desktop and you're ready to go!

The site is not up any longer. It featured 'pages' that would open and change with stop-motion animation.
