Scala type-safety vs overhead (type vs class) -


i have graph, each vertex has both id (which never changes) , label (which changes frequently). both represented longs.

currently, define following types:

type vertexid = long type vertexlabel = long

however, discovered bug today passing in vertexlabel function expected vertexid. seems type of thing scala compiler should able prevent.

i considered doing instead:

case class vertexid(id: long) case class vertexlabel(label: long)

but there's overhead of "boxing" , "unboxing" , memory usage.

is there anyway best of both worlds? define both types longs in such way compiler prevent using 1 other?

yes, can use value classes:

case class vertexid(val id: long) extends anyval case class vertexlabel(val label: long) extends anyval

see http://docs.scala-lang.org/overviews/core/value-classes.html

javascript - three.js lot of meshes optimization -

i'd use three.js render scene containing lot of small meshes create stacks. here's fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/3bl6fbse/ i'd guys me optimizing code. can see, bit laggy because of low fps. i've written code fast, , m aware creating materials , meshes in loop bad practice. thing need know is: how optimize scene, not doing basic techniques creating materials , meshes outside of loop. i tried use meshes scale's property result ugly, there isn't "stack" effect. tried use mesh.copy ends on same bad performance. thanks

smartface.io - Proper way to change color scheme for whole application -

pls give me hint best way change color scheme whole smartface application: 1. statically (before building project) 2. dynamically (from within running application) if going change scheme 1 time, can change statically. can define new colors, , change old ones in .pge files. but if want change scheme colors more once or while using application, can in runtime dynamically. done in script files. objects properties such fillcolor can changed in scripts. i cannot 1 best changing in runtime looks better. example, can use editbox colors, , can use button, when pressed can change color scheme, etc.
