How would we test to see if there is any difference between a good sans serif and a serif typeface with users? This diversity adds to the difficulty and complexity of defining and testing typefaces. For a proper test setup you would need to modify one parameter while keeping every other parameter unchanged.

MovableType was one of the first static site generators on the market, although that term wouldn’t become popular until 2008. By the end of 2008, Tom Preston-Werner announces Jekyll — a simple, blog-aware, static site generator. Status checks are small programs to lint, run tests, or anything else you’d like to measure.

Still, if you stack a bunch of high-transaction databases on there, checkpoint processing can get pretty sluggish. If you have instances running older versions like SQL Server 2008 R2 (I found one!), And none of these FlushCache messages were ever paired with the 15 second I/O warnings in the error log.

Table-valued parameters have been around since SQL Server 2008 and provide a useful mechanism for sending multiple rows of data to SQL Server, brought together as a single parameterized call. It affects the number of TDS buffers that are sent across the network to SQL Server, and it also impacts the overall processing time for the commands.

It’s frustrating to leave your computer running tests overnight only to have crashes pollute the results. Instead of doing a dozen builds in a night to test a new build optimization I changed my script to just build Chrome in a loop until it failed. 1) Building Chrome very quickly causes CcmExec.exe to leak process handles.

Prior to SQL Server 2012, the maximum server memory value only applied to the bufferpool, so customers needed to limit the amount of memory the bufferpool could use to save memory for the operating system and other processes. Part of that process is his Index Optimize procedure, which can take additional parameters to update statistics.
