Ask HN: Is it possible to do idempotent microbenchmarks?

Given a program with a fixed input and output. Is it possible to do a microbenchmark in an idempotent unit related to the work performed to compute the output?In other words, If you run the same program multiple times with the same input, the benchmark should always result in the same value.For instance, this node.js program. I want to run it multiple times and have the same benchmark value. ...

Looks very nice! It almost made me want to learn Swift.

The only thing is that it's used only on iOS systems. If I'm going to spend the time to learn a new programming language, I'd like to use it everywhere like I do with JS.

This always puzzle me about SEO. Let's say you are writing an article that you want to cover in-depth. Which one is better for SEO (both options has the same content): A. Publish all in one long article B. Publish in a series of small articles

It would be nice to have sorting!
Very nice! How do you crawl the data and how often?
This is awesome! I started using Tailwind for a project. I was a concern with the relatively big size of the framework on a landing page[1]. Then I used purgeCss to only leave the css classes that I used and remove all others. That solved the size issue.

Re:Show HN: Data Structures and Algorithms in JavaScript on Thursday August 08, 2019 @09:32AM (#20644354)
The book is open-source! All the book's chapters and exercises are open to anybody to see and edit. E.g. First chapter is here: https://github.com/amejiarosario/dsa.js-data-structures-algo.... The offline formats (PDF, ePub, Mobi) are there for convenience (and to solve the limited support Github has for asciidoc's `include` directives) but all the text/code is open.

Thanks for reading the book and commenting here! Could you please open an issue with the typos https://github.com/amejiarosario/dsa.js-data-structures-algo... or create a pull request with fixes? I'll be more than happy to go over them and fix/merge them. I've spent weeks proofreading the material, but apparently, some slipped through the cracks. Thanks again for taking the time.

Nice idea. Is there a way to embed this on a blog like Jekyll or any other that supports markdown?
