You seem to be talking about a different kind of leakiness. In my mind, there are two kinds: conceptual and performance leakiness. You are talking about the latter. Pretty much any non-trivial system on modern hardware…
Which book(s) would you recommend?
I guess what I mean is styles besides gothic (undecorated strokes of even thickness) and those that mimic traditional calligraphy. I see a lot of other forms for Latin scripts, but for Arabic, CJK and Indian scripts…
I didn't phrase it well. I was specifically talking about the Baloo sample and how the typographic style is the same across scripts. Sorry, I am a layman, so I don't know the proper terms, but I mean the similar stroke…
I always wondered why many non-Latin (mostly cursive) scripts have little variation across different typefaces. Maybe I wasn't looking hard enough? Well, the article mentions a similar observation by a Sri Lankan…
In addition to the higher unit count there are a few bullet points in the article that indicate where saved/additional time is spent. From the sound of it, most importantly: "The DE pather was modified to have a much…

You can explain things with more than a single picture. You can also play with pictures in your mind, and you can encourage students to do so by giving them more than one picture. Visualizing corner cases is often very…
I can't say anything about JSON serialization performance as I don't have experience with it. Your other points, though, seem a little handwavy to me. Or maybe I am reading them wrong. > A tiny, somewhat extreme…
Did you compare it to a roughly equivalent Objective-C program? The top four entries in your profile data show retain, release and objc_msgSend. You will have those in Objective-C too. Maybe to a different degree?…
I can't speak for other people's code, but I regularly profile and read the machine code generated by the Swift compiler, at least for my hot loops. If you know what you are doing (use the right annotations and…
