Any way to compile with `-O2` or `-Ofast`?

I have already asked (and been provided a solution) to this question, see the post below:

This is quite cool, however it does seem very buggy at the moment, would be interesting to see where this project goes. The issue is that the nature of Gravatar is the idea of having a central place to store everyones account info so any site can use their profile pictures etc. Maybe an OpenID-

Math library for renderers and GUIs

Exiled the game engine specific broadcast functions like `abs` to a separate `vectors/game.nim` for now. Also refactored those on to the broadcast template, and enforced the naming scheme. It should have been `absed`, `maxed`, etc, since the lib generally uses past tense to denote copying functi

Bridges are not the best solution, yes they do allow people to use different platforms, but you got to remember discord is still storing the messages being sent, and the username sending them, it doesn't take a genius to realise that means discord still knows everything you are saying. There is

To be devils advocate here, cloudflare is the market leader in their field, they do provide the best support, however this does not mean there are not alternatives and them paths should have been thought about!

Yes well, this can be changed, it is not difficult to migrate the platform which the nim code repositories are hosted on, after all git was decentralised by design, if you really insist not using github there is always the option of mirroring the code to your own git repo and then cloning that,

Why is db_postgres so slow?

Are you using postgres on the same server, or is it over a network. If it is over the network it could be that there is considerable latency, especially if you are accessing a postgres server over the internet (WAN) instead over LAN. The older libpg should not be a massive issue, but it depends

no effort has gone in to being compatible with stuff. it's all very bog standard though so they are probably reinterpret castable between libraries.

Why is db_postgres so slow?

You need to look at how the benchmark was implemented, not all are equal, but sometimes this is because of a technical problem with the library. Relatedly, I've just found that a race condition occurs when multiple threads try to open a DB connection with db_postgres. While a lock fixes this, ev

To be fair it does not overly rely on Discord, it has a Matrix space and also has IRC setup. Sadly though the bridge to matrix likes dying, and also there is no auto moderation for matrix spammers.

Show Nim: New Pixie 5.0 release with significant performance improvements

If you want absolutely smallest PNG files i recommend using some thing like [pngcrush](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pngcrush) or tinypng that you linked. Our aim was to write a "pretty good" PNG writer with balanced compression and speed. * For super compression using some thing like pngcrus

Why is db_postgres so slow?

I can't find Nim's db_postgres benchmarks on Techempower. Do you have a link? It uses the libpq nearly directly it should be roughly same speed as C. Is there a pure C libpq benchmark? Is there a faster library than libpq that nim could use? Postgres itself is not that great with async. In my l

Why is db_postgres so slow?

Hey folks I want to use Nim for server side development but the slow speed of db_postgres is making me hesitant. in the Techempower benchmarks, the db queries for nim stdlib have been benchmarked as being extremely slow. I am opening this forum post to discuss why the postgres driver is so slow

Can't Get Length of Returned Table

That particular error has always been confusing. The primary helpful information is precisely what @sls1005 and @Hlaaftana suggested. You need to know the proc, the type, and ideally, the context you used it in. All the other overloads are useless unless you meant to use a different type, which

Any way to compile with `-O2` or `-Ofast`?

Since, apparently the `-O3` option comes from `--opt:speed`, I've tried it again (and again) with this: -d: release --opt:none --passC:-O2 --passC:-fno-ident Run And... I think I got it to work! (admittedly, not really suprised by the outcome; `-O3` seems to be a very

Any way to compile with `-O2` or `-Ofast`?

I've been trying to run some benchmarks and see how `-O2`, `-O3` and `-Ofast` compare. However, when compiling with either `-d:release` or `-d:danger`, it seems as if Nim sticks an `-O3` regardless of what options have been passed via `--passC:`. So... the question is: is there any way to keep
