#node 8

This allows you to directly track all async calls and where they are going. Unlike alot of other tactics, this does not require modifying the original code that needs to be tracked. Firstly, here is a simple HTTP server:

const http = require('http'); http.createServer((req, res) => { res.end('hello\n'); }).listen(5000); console.log('The HTTP server was started on port 5000'); // Result of: curl localhost:5000 // hello

If an async hook is created and enabled before the script, all the events can be tracked:

const async_hooks = require('async_hooks'); const fs = require('fs'); const asyncHook = async_hooks.createHook({ init: (asyncId, type, triggerAsyncId, resource) => { // Using console would trigger hooks which would trigger infinite recursion // console.info(asyncId, type, triggerAsyncId, resource); fs.writeSync(1, `${type} ${resource} \n`); } }); asyncHook.enable(); // When the server is started with the above first: // Event: TCPSERVERWRAP // Event: TickObject // The HTTP server was started on port 5000 // Event: TickObject

The TickObject represents each time the JavaScript even loop is incremented and new processing is done. That code can be put into a separate file. So to track parts of code a file can just be imported (asyncHook.disable can be used to stop tracking). For example, this is how to track when timeout callbacks are called and what those callbacks are:

const asyncHook = async_hooks.createHook({ init: (asyncId, type, triggerAsyncId, resource) => { if (type === 'Timeout') { const stack = new Error().stack; fs.writeSync(1, `Callback: ${type} ${resource._onTimeout.toString()} \n`); fs.writeSync(1, ` Location: ${stack} \n`); } } }); // asyncHook being defined in code snippet above asyncHook.enable(); http.createServer((req, res) => { setTimeout(() => { console.log('Running an async event'); }); res.end('hello\n'); }).listen(5000); // Run this in another CLI tab: // curl localhost:5000

There will be a few other timeout callbacks (called via libraries), but near this middle should be the one defined above and it will say exactly where it is called from.

Anyways, although this API is only for Node 8+ and is experimental, it is still useful for analyzing code performance and other characteristics. Especially when a lot of libraries and async calls are used.

Good to see you. Killed any more beasts out there?

Well aren't you a cold one - making threats like you can back 'em up.

1. What is an element of your story that was the most difficult to film?

2. Who was your initial dream cast for your blorbos?

3. What do you think people get the most wrong about your story?

1. i'm gonna assume film means, like, capture?? in essence idrfc LMAO but!! i think the most difficult thing to capture is like the depth of ilya's trauma, and the katayev family's traumas being russian immigrants in a post-modern world in general

2. tbfh i don't actually know. but if i had to choose at least one actor to play someone if node 8 ever got made into a real series it's neil newbon lmao. he could be like. the back alley drug dealer uncle. idfk

but what do the others think of her?

andrei likes her!! he had a particularly nasty opinion of cherry, and actually recommended her to be ilya's bodyguard during the divorce, and is happy it stuck!! liliana is like a sister to him :>

yulian is indifferent, if not upset/miffed. he thinks she deserves better than ilya, but is also mad that her appearance as his new paramour (what he calls her despite that cherry and ilya are divorced) is getting in the way, and that it's made cherry more clingy to him. deep down, though, he's happy.

the twins both adore her!! vitya will often bake things for her (baking is his hobby), and dima once called her mom on accident (it kinda just.. stuck though, since ilya is like his father figure).

uhhh i'll just go in order of their ages

andrei: anything sharp and violent. also cigarettes after sex (not the band) and drugs in general

yulian: sex (if that wasn't obvious) and various vices in regards to money. also just.. generally likes his job!

ilya: his wife. his job. his family (minus yulian)

vitya: his twin, animals, engineering, math (ew)

dima: his older brothers (minus yulian), pizza, and the smell of fresh oil paints
