Planning for Responsive Images

CSS - Tricks

The first time I made an image responsive, it was as simple as coding these four lines: img { max-width: 100%; height auto; /* default */ }. Though that worked for me as a developer, it wasn’t the best for the audience. What happens if the the image in the src attribute is heavy? On high-end developer devices (like mine with 16GB RAM), few or no performance problems occur.

Making Sense of Chrome Lite Pages

Tim Kadlec

Google formally announced Lite Pages the other day and the response has been… let’s say mixed. Understandably so. The announcement post was a fairly typical product announcement post which is to say it was light (no pun intended) on the technical details and leaves a lot of open questions. Sometimes that’s fine. But in this case, the announcement has to deal with Google making changes to HTTPS content which, as you would expect, makes folks a little more nervous.

Zoom In Filters for High Impact

Edge Perspectives

Small moves, smartly made, can set big things in motion. That’s a key to succeeding in a world of mounting performance pressure. In a previous post , I briefly alluded to the need to “zoom out” to smartly make small moves. In today’s post, I want to focus in more detail on the need to zoom in.

Track Element Viewability With JavaScript Or Google Tag Manager

The Polyglot Developer

As you might know, sponsored advertisements are one of the things that are funding The Polyglot Developer and everything it accomplishes, so keeping sponsors happy and supplying them the metrics they need is very important. However, in most circumstances, more specifically when it comes to banner creatives, page views is not enough. For example if your sponsors or potential sponsors asked how many impressions each of your advertisement zones gets, you can’t just list off the page views tha

London Open Source Database Community Meetup

Percona Community

I strongly believe in the community. Communities are the real strength of open source. Not just the theoretical ability to study, modify and share code – but the fact that other people out there are doing these things. Creating a base of knowledge and a network of relations.These can become work relationships, valuable discussions, open source tools, or even friendships.

SQL Server Hardware Optimization

SQL Server Performance

An important concern in optimizing the hardware platform is hardware components that restrict performance, known as bottlenecks. Quite often, the problem isn’t correcting performance bottlenecks as much as it is identifying them in the first place. Start with obtaining a performance baseline. You monitor the server over time so that you can determine Server average […].

Scheduling Time, Part 4: My Time Management Strategy

Baron Schwartz

This is the last in a series of scheduling- and calendaring-related topics. This one’s about my overall strategy of using scheduling as a tool to manage my time. Clearly, managing my time isn’t the same as managing my calendar, but managing the latter does help with the former. The essence of my strategy is this: I care about my time, but others care about my calendar, so I can forestall a lot of intrusions on my time by using my calendar intelligently.

Philosophy of Technology

Professor Beekums

A lot of factors are considered in a build vs buy decision. What are the technical capabilities of existing systems? Is the functionality a core offering of my own product? How complex would it really be to build? How much would buying cost? What about switching costs? One thing I find myself considering more and more is the philosophy of the people who are building the technology I am evaluating.

Amazon Aurora ascendant: How we designed a cloud-native relational database

All Things Distributed

Relational databases have been around for a long time. The relational model of data was pioneered back in the 1970s by E.F. Codd. The core technologies underpinning the major relational database management systems of today were developed in the 1980–1990s. Relational database fundamentals, including data relationships, ACID (Atomicity, Consistency, Isolation, Durability) transactions, and the SQL query language, have stood the test of time.

You don't need ordered delivery

Particular Software

In our family it's a tradition that you get to decide what we'll have for dinner when it's your birthday. On my daughter's last birthday, she picked pizza. I took her to the nearby pizza shop to decide what pizza to get. A large screen dominates one wall of the pizza place, showing each order as it progresses through each stage of preparation. As I was looking at the screen, I noticed some names suddenly switched.

The 737Max and Why Software Engineers Might Want to Pay Attention

J. Paul Reed

The 737Max and Why Software Engineers Might Want to Pay Attention As someone with a bit of a reputation for talking about aviation and software development and operations , I’ve been asked about the 737Max repeatedly over the past week. I’ve been watching this story develop since November of last year, when the Lion Air 737Max crashed. Given recent developments, if you want a pure-aviation take on what’s going, there are better people to ask.

Drawn from what I’ve observed over the last 15 or so years in my own experience as well as that of many others, it tries to answer why and how some organizations deliver value to customers fast, run data-intensive applications with high quality, and have great engineering cultures—and why some don’t.
