RunLoops impact on asynchronous tasks I am Boris Dobretsov, and some time ago I published my first article - Understanding Parallel Programming: A Guide for Beginners. https://hackernoon.com/understanding-parallel-programming-a-guide-for-beginners?embedable=true In that article, I introduced basic concepts such as "processes" and "threads" and explained in simple terms what a processor, operating system, process, and thread are. Today, we will elaborate further on RunLoops and their impact on asynchronous tasks. But first, let's refresh our knowledge of what a RunLoop is and what it is responsible for. A RunLoop helps asynchronous tasks run at the right time without blocking or interfering with the main thread. It functions as a cycle of event handling, used to schedule tasks and coordinate incoming events. Its purpose is to keep the thread active when there is work to do and put it to sleep when there is none. As we know from the previous article, there are several main types of architecture for code organization: Synchronous single-threaded


Asynchronous single-threaded


Synchronous multi-threaded


Asynchronous multi-threaded Some of these are simpler, while others are designed to run several tasks (competing tasks) at the same time, making the development process more efficient and multifunctional. The most commonly used architecture in iOS application development is the asynchronous multi-threaded model. It is important to understand how to interact with these models and what to do to prevent overloading. That is why in this article we are going to discuss RunLoops impact on asynchronous tasks. As we also know from the previous article, asynchronous tasks can be paused mid-execution and resumed later. But who decides when to put a task on hold and when to resume it? It’s actually the task itself that makes this decision. This is because asynchronous tasks consist of two parts: the first starts the task, and the second executes asynchronously in response to a specific event. The latter part is added to a source for the RunLoop and is checked on each loop iteration. If the specified event occurs, the task proceeds. A basic example of an asynchronous task is a timer. Let me share the code which which demonstrates this idea: Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.25, repeats: true) { timer in    
  print("tick")
} In the above example, you can see the code which starts a timer that runs every quarter of a second, outputting "tick" to the console. The first part of the asynchronous task is creating the timer, and the second part is passing the block to the scheduled Timer method. The task is single-threaded: both the timer setup and block execution happen in the same thread. However, it is asynchronous since the block doesn’t execute immediately but after a delay that allows the thread to do other work in the meantime. This illustrates the interconnection between asynchronous tasks and the RunLoop. The timer block will be called every quarter second, with the RunLoop responsible for this condition. However, if the thread is busy with a long-running task and the iteration cannot be completed within 0.25 seconds, the timer's block will be delayed. Let's modify the example so that the block outputs the current time: Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.25, repeats: true) { timer in    
  print(Date())
} Let’s see what will be the console output: 2017-09-26 05:13:16 +0000

2017-09-26 05:13:18 +0000 In this case,  the timer goes off four times per second. Let's now add another asynchronous task that runs once every second and takes up the thread by waiting to be executed: Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 0.25, repeats: true) { timer in    
  print(Date())
}

Timer.scheduledTimer(withTimeInterval: 1, repeats: true) { timer in

2017-09-26 05:17:40 +0000
2017-09-26 05:17:40 +0000 As you can see, the timer now triggers at irregular intervals, sometimes twice, sometimes three times per second. This happened because the thread was too busy running other code to process the timer in time. This example perfectly illustrates that there is no magic in asynchronous code. It relies on the RunLoop and competes with other tasks in the thread. My advice is: don’t rely on miracles when planning asynchronous tasks; consider whether they can be executed on time. If there is a likelihood that thread resources may be insufficient to run all tasks, consider offloading tasks to separate threads where they won’t face interference. Conclusion In the next article, we will talk about the main approaches to building multi-threaded code in iOS and will touch upon the concepts of Thread, Grand Central Dispatch (GCD), and Operation.

Understanding Parallel Programming: A Guide for Beginners, Part II

One guy on Reddit asked if ‘being a software engineer feels like being a prisoner.‘ It got me thinking. Let’s get philosophical here for a sec. Being a prisoner is more a state of mind than just being confined to four walls. When you compare the life of a typical prisoner to that of a Buddhist monk, you’ll notice that prisoners usually have more privileges than a typical monk. Ajahn Brahm famously explained this after he visited a prison: “Any place you don’t want to be is a prison.” Now, let’s talk about coding. Picture this: you’re at your keyboard, building an entirely new world in your mind. Your work is this incredibly abstract, almost magical process. You start to live in that work, your fingers dancing over the keys like a maestro conducting a symphony. For hours, most of your mind stops reacting to input from the physical world. Your mind roams free in the new virtual world you’ve created. It’s like being the architect of the Matrix, but with less leather and more coffee. So, yeah, coding might feel a bit like being a prisoner sometimes, especially when the bugs are relentless, and deadlines loom. But really, it’s more like being a prisoner with a key to your own cell, where the cell happens to be an epic fantasy world of your own making. It’s a mental adventure with the occasional dragon (or, you know, a really stubborn line of code). In the end, whether you feel trapped or free as a bird is all in your head. And if you’re ever feeling too confined, just remember: you can always turn off your computer, step outside for a walk, and maybe even sit in meditation for a while. Trust me, your virtual world will still be there when you get back.

Are Programmers Prisoners or Architects?

The TechBeat: Building dApps that Last: Why Cairo is the Winner Programming Language for Web3 Devs (11/19/2024)

Written by: James Strudwick, Executive Director, Starknet Foundation “To understand the world, you must understand Cairo.” This sentiment, often attributed to the Egyptian writer Naguib Mahfouz, speaks to the significant role the ancient city played in shaping global culture, politics, and history. Now, a coding language of the same name is becoming just as essential to understanding the Web3 ecosystem. Like the city itself - a learning gateway to complex histories, Cairo, the coding language, is opening new doors in the decentralised world, driving innovation and accessibility. But what makes Cairo unique compared to other programming tools? And why should Web3 developers invest time to master it? If you are willing to take the plunge and learn the best from the very best, sign up to Starknet’s Bootcamp and learn everything you need to know about Cairo. What Does Cairo Do? Cairo is designed to be a highly optimized provable programming language, and it just so happens that STARKs are great for scaling Ethereum, too, because verifying a proof takes less time than executing the program with the same inputs. Hence, Starknet is quite literally written in Cairo with the goal of scaling Ethereum and building Web3 applications. Starknet enhances Ethereum’s scalability by enabling the network to handle a higher volume of transactions without the usual slowdown or high fees. It achieves this by posting only state differences to Ethereum and aggregating many Starknet state transition proofs together to create a single proof, meaning the proving cost is amortized across many users. This process relies on zero-knowledge proofs (ZKPs), allowing Ethereum to verify transactions securely without exposing each detail—similar to receiving a summary receipt. By processing transactions in bulk and only sharing essential data with Ethereum, Starknet’s use of Cairo not only cuts costs but also improves transaction speed. Use Cases for Cairo Cairo’s efficiency and privacy features make it indispensable for several Web3 applications. In DeFi, Cairo enables platforms to manage high transaction volumes at a lower cost, making services more accessible. In the NFT space, Cairo supports the creation and transfer of digital collectibles with reduced transaction fees, enhancing market accessibility and scalability. Additionally, with Cairo a developer can efficiently verify other proving systems that already have privacy as a common feature. While Cairo’s powerful capabilities make it essential for advancing Ethereum and Web3, its complexity presents a learning curve for developers. However, for those who master it, Cairo unlocks vast potential to drive the future of decentralised applications. As a highly sought after niche skill,  Cairo is valued by like-minded individuals who share a desire to create long lasting applications that can drive mass adoption forward in a meaningful way. They also gain insight into Cairo’s distinct advantages when compared to more popular and traditional programming languages. Cairo vs. Other Programming Languages Take, for example, Rust. With its performance, safety, and multi-platform capabilities, Rust is ideal for developers who want flexibility across blockchain platforms and other applications. However, Cairo is better suited than Rust for Ethereum scaling and specific blockchain applications because it was designed with these use cases in mind. Rust lacks Cairo’s specific capabilities for Ethereum scalability and privacy, like transaction bundling and ZKPs. Cairo’s integration with Starknet and Ethereum makes it a more specialized tool for developers focused on scaling and optimizing Ethereum-based applications. Rust is more versatile and flexible across various blockchain platforms, but it lacks the huge efficiency that Cairo delivers, which scales Ethereum. Cairo vs. Solidity As Ethereum’s primary language for creating smart contracts, Solidity is designed to handle individual transactions within the blockchain. Cairo complements Solidity by addressing Ethereum’s need for scalability, by being an efficient language to verify proofs of computational integrity. Cairo, being both a Smart Contract and programming language, means that it can be used for on-chain and off-chain operations. In comparison, Solidity cannot aggregate blocks together as it can’t be used outside the EVM. By focusing on transaction scalability, Cairo enhances the performance of Solidity-based smart contracts, making the two languages complementary, with Cairo providing a crucial layer for handling high-volume blockchain activity with native computational integrity. Cairo vs. Python While Python is known for its versatility and ease of use across data science, machine learning, and web development, Cairo is a specialised provable language focused on scaling Ethereum. Python’s beginner-friendly design, readability, and flexibility make it ideal for general-purpose applications, but these strengths don’t translate to blockchain-specific needs. While Python is suited to various industries, Cairo’s performance is tailored to the demands of Web3, making it better equipped for blockchain scalability and transaction efficiency. Cairo vs. C++/Java C++ and Java are high-performance, general-purpose languages used in applications such as gaming and enterprise software, where speed and complex logic are required. However, Cairo, with its provable nature and modern compiler architecture, can, in the context of a sequencer, execute operations concurrently and is able to scale to thousands by aggregating execution proofs together, constraining them all against the same set of rules that Ethereum verifies. This gives Cairo great security, as someone can’t produce a block without it complying with the StarknetOS rules. Cairo is also uniquely tailored for the Ethereum blockchain, specifically designed to handle the demands of decentralised finance and high transaction throughput. While C++ and Java excel in traditional, centralised environments. Cairo’s ability to be a developer-friendly provable language, manage bulk transactions off-chain, and verify them securely makes it a superior choice for blockchain scaling, where general-purpose languages like C++ and Java fall short. The other aspect of C++ and Java is that they are antiquated with large user bases, and they want to keep the language mostly the same. This is where Cairo comes in as something different with the ability to adopt new ideas and technologies, further demonstrating its superiority. Why Cairo Matters for Web3 Developers Cairo is a top tier language when it is the right tool for the job, specifically if you want to scale Ethereum, but if you want super efficient (non-verifiable) memory safe programs then Rust should be your go-to. However, as demand for Ethereum applications grows, so does the need for solutions that reduce costs and improve speed—making Cairo a key player in the Web3 ecosystem. Developers can overcome the limitations of traditional coding languages in blockchain and bring applications to life that operate at scale and at lower costs. While it may not yet be as widespread as other languages Cairo is crucial for the future of Web3. Just as Cairo, the city, is a bridge to understanding complex histories, Cairo, the coding language, is a bridge to a more accessible, efficient, and decentralised future. Does it take time to master? Yes. Can you do it? We want you to. But anything worth doing, anything that will set you apart from the mundane and make you great - requires dedication and effort. Cairo was not built in a day. Web3 won’t be either. However, with a skilled team of developers, the future holds tremendous potential for a better society for everyone.

While Cairo’s powerful capabilities make it essential for advancing Ethereum and Web3, its complexity presents a learning curve for developers. However, for those who master it, Cairo unlocks vast potential to drive the future of decentralised applications. As a highly sought after niche skill,  Cairo is valued by like-minded individuals who share a desire to create long lasting applications that can drive mass adoption forward in a meaningful way. They also gain insight into Cairo’s distinct advantages when compared to more popular and traditional programming languages. Cairo vs. Other Programming Languages Take, for example, Rust. With its performance, safety, and multi-platform capabilities, Rust is ideal for developers who want flexibility across blockchain platforms and other applications. However, Cairo is better suited than Rust for Ethereum scaling and specific blockchain applications because it was designed with these use cases in mind. Rust lacks Cairo’s specific capabilities for Ethereum scalability and privacy, like transaction bundling and ZKPs. Cairo’s integration with Starknet and Ethereum makes it a more specialized tool for developers focused on scaling and optimizing Ethereum-based applications. Rust is more versatile and flexible across various blockchain platforms, but it lacks the huge efficiency that Cairo delivers, which scales Ethereum. Cairo vs. Solidity As Ethereum’s primary language for creating smart contracts, Solidity is designed to handle individual transactions within the blockchain. Cairo complements Solidity by addressing Ethereum’s need for scalability, by being an efficient language to verify proofs of computational integrity. Cairo, being both a Smart Contract and programming language, means that it can be used for on-chain and off-chain operations. In comparison, Solidity cannot aggregate blocks together as it can’t be used outside the EVM. By focusing on transaction scalability, Cairo enhances the performance of Solidity-based smart contracts, making the two languages complementary, with Cairo providing a crucial layer for handling high-volume blockchain activity with native computational integrity. Cairo vs. Python While Python is known for its versatility and ease of use across data science, machine learning, and web development, Cairo is a specialised provable language focused on scaling Ethereum. Python’s beginner-friendly design, readability, and flexibility make it ideal for general-purpose applications, but these strengths don’t translate to blockchain-specific needs. While Python is suited to various industries, Cairo’s performance is tailored to the demands of Web3, making it better equipped for blockchain scalability and transaction efficiency. Cairo vs. C++/Java C++ and Java are high-performance, general-purpose languages used in applications such as gaming and enterprise software, where speed and complex logic are required. However, Cairo, with its provable nature and modern compiler architecture, can, in the context of a sequencer, execute operations concurrently and is able to scale to thousands by aggregating execution proofs together, constraining them all against the same set of rules that Ethereum verifies. This gives Cairo great security, as someone can’t produce a block without it complying with the StarknetOS rules. Cairo is also uniquely tailored for the Ethereum blockchain, specifically designed to handle the demands of decentralised finance and high transaction throughput. While C++ and Java excel in traditional, centralised environments. Cairo’s ability to be a developer-friendly provable language, manage bulk transactions off-chain, and verify them securely makes it a superior choice for blockchain scaling, where general-purpose languages like C++ and Java fall short. The other aspect of C++ and Java is that they are antiquated with large user bases, and they want to keep the language mostly the same. This is where Cairo comes in as something different with the ability to adopt new ideas and technologies, further demonstrating its superiority. Why Cairo Matters for Web3 Developers Cairo is a top tier language when it is the right tool for the job, specifically if you want to scale Ethereum, but if you want super efficient (non-verifiable) memory safe programs then Rust should be your go-to. However, as demand for Ethereum applications grows, so does the need for solutions that reduce costs and improve speed—making Cairo a key player in the Web3 ecosystem. Developers can overcome the limitations of traditional coding languages in blockchain and bring applications to life that operate at scale and at lower costs. While it may not yet be as widespread as other languages Cairo is crucial for the future of Web3. Just as Cairo, the city, is a bridge to understanding complex histories, Cairo, the coding language, is a bridge to a more accessible, efficient, and decentralised future. Does it take time to master? Yes. Can you do it? We want you to. But anything worth doing, anything that will set you apart from the mundane and make you great - requires dedication and effort. Cairo was not built in a day. Web3 won’t be either. However, with a skilled team of developers, the future holds tremendous potential for a better society for everyone.

After years of trying and giving up, then trying and giving up again and again, I finally made it! I found a way out of the LinkedIn algorithm labyrinth. With only 250 followers, I got over 100K WEEKLY impressions and thousands of engagements with only a handful of LinkedIn posts! Since then, people have been DMing me with questions like: How did you do it? What’s the catch? Can you please show me how it’s done? What’s your secret? There’s no secret. What I did was legit. The answer has been hiding in plain sight all this time since I published 10 Quora Growth Marketing Commandments. Not so long story short, just one of my HackerNoon stories that passed almost unrecognized, it all boils down to this simple analogy: Quora Spaces = LinkedIn Groups So, if you want to make it and break it on LinkedIn, instead of posting into the void of LinkedIn, you should focus on specific groups. They’ll do all the work for you. So, I did my homework. My old Quora posts got a new life, and what’s even more interesting, performed even better as LinkedIn posts. But again, by being submitted to the most relevant and active LinkedIn groups. I couldn’t believe it. Almost 50K impressions from a single post in less than 24 hours. I could’ve had even more impressions, but I was struggling to honor all comments with my reply and keep track of all the discussions that followed. I did the math. In a week or two, at this growth rate, I’d hit 500+ LinkedIn connections. I don’t have to worry about the number of followers because all impressions and engagements are coming from groups. Case closed. You know how it goes, don’t you? You keep asking yourself, is there more I could do? How about becoming a Top Voice on LinkedIn? For that to happen I’d have to contribute. We’re unlocking community knowledge in an all new way. It starts with an article on a professional topic or skill, written with the help of AI — but it’s not complete without insights and advice from people with real-life experiences. We invited experts to contribute. You see, I missed that line “with the help of AI,” and that’s how I went down the rabbit hole of LinkedIn Top Voice badges. Why Oh Why, You AI Make Me Wanna Cry! “In a move that has surprised many LinkedIn users, the platform has announced that it will be retiring its "Top Voice" badges for those who contribute to Collaborative Articles. This badge symbolized authority and expertise, adding an extra layer of credibility to a user's LinkedIn profile.” Wait! Why? I just got warmed up to contribute around the clock. “Many users voiced concerns that the automatic awarding of these badges wasn't necessarily a reflection of true expertise, as the AI-based system did not account for the depth or quality of the insights shared.” Immediately, the good old Second Human Rule came to my mind: At HackerNoon every article goes through a second human (who didn’t write it) before publication. The only exception to this rule is those who publish under our verified writer accounts. I’m a verified contributor, but I don’t want to be an EXCEMT from the rules, I want to be EXCEPTIONAL at writing, period. “In response to community feedback, LinkedIn acknowledged the difficulty of maintaining high standards for its Top Voice badges under the current system. The automatic process did not include any manual review, leading to users being recognized as experts despite lacking the necessary knowledge or skills in their fields. This, coupled with reports that some contributors were using AI tools to generate their responses, led LinkedIn to question the validity of the badges. As a result, LinkedIn has decided to remove these badges entirely. Existing badge holders will see their badges expire within 60 days of being awarded, and by December 7th, 2024, all gold Top Voice badges will be removed from the platform.” All That Glitters on LinkedIn Is (Not) Created by AI “Writers” “Although the Top Voice badges for Collaborative Articles are being phased out, LinkedIn has clarified that its blue Top Voice badges, awarded through a manual selection process by its editorial team, will remain in place. These badges, which are highly coveted and awarded by invitation only, continue to hold weight as a mark of true expertise on the platform.” What is this supposed to mean? Well, let me show you. When you see a profile with this badge, you know he or she is a legit sheriff in the LinkedIn town. I’m not saying that this shiny badge isn’t legit or well-deserved, but take it with a grain of salt. Either way, all gold will be removed from LinkedIn, so don’t worry about it. If you want to follow my LinkedIn footsteps, then you have to be verified: To verify means that you have to submit your ID (USA) or the NFC passport for the rest of the world. This shouldn’t be an issue, if you don’t have any privacy concerns. For me, it’s all about time and money because my passport expired in 2020. I had the money back then, but I couldn’t travel because of the pandemic. So, I didn’t see a point in getting a new passport only to collect dust. And, there’s more… Thank you but no thank you LinkedIn, investing in my future is writing new HackerNoon stories and sharing them as posts. The best things in life are supposed to be free, or at least, this is how it used to be. Roll up your sleeves LinkedIn, and get back to a good old and trustworthy manual selection and invitation-only process for the next generation of Top Voices.
