Line 85:
::: Do you want the removal of all timings then?
:::: Some timings can be worthwhile. For example, when you have several different timings based on the same platform, and time differences greater than a factor of 2, those timings might be meaningful. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 03:54, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
:::: I would strongly advise against comparing timings of languages on Rosetta Code, except when comparing performance of different means of using the same language ''on the same hardware.'' Otherwise, I don't see the conditions Rosetta Code offers to be controlled, stable and consistent enough to result in the display of good, useful comparative data, and would far more likely result in destructive, uninformed comparisons used in advocacy by attack. That kind of data is what the Computer Language Shootout discusses. If, for some reason, their numbers are unsatisfactory, talk to them. If they disagree with you, talk to me, and I might talk to them. I have no illusion that I'd be able to convince them, but it's plausible there are some problems I could help address. I don't want RC being used as any kind of an authoritative source for something where we can't maintain the kind of QC necessary. --[[User:Short Circuit|Michael Mol]] 04:29, 29 June 2011 (UTC)
