Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. The closer one looks, the less a definition of "appiness" can be pinned down to specific technologies.

More importantly, if this works out well, this could lead to a radical improvement in performance by leveraging hardware trends such as GPUs and TPUs. They demonstrated that neural nets based learned index outperforms cache-optimized B-Tree index by up to 70% in speed while saving an order-of-magnitude in memory. Learned indexes.

Yet, this criticism of React isn’t completely unwarranted: React and ReactDOM total about 120 KiB of minified JavaScript, which definitely contributes to slow startup time. When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware.

But do A and C share the same storage, compute, or network resources for example? Therefore, while it is possible to anticipate situational surprise, you can’t anticipate fundamental surprise (because by definition you have no model capable of inferring such an outcome). Take a trivial example with three components A, B, and C.

Linux has been adding tracing technologies over the years: kprobes (kernel dynamic tracing), uprobes (user-level dynamic tracing), tracepoints (static tracing), and perf_events (profiling and hardware counters).

The core does not have enough load bandwidth to perform all of these extra load operations at full speed. On Haswell it is definitely faster to reload the data from cache (except possibly for the case where an unaligned load crosses a 4KiB page boundary) — I have not completed the corresponding analysis on KNL.
