It is common for binary data to be serialized to bytes. Data structures like indexes can be saved to disk or transmitted over the network in such a form. Many serialized data structures can be viewed as sets of ‘integer’ values. That is the case, for example, of a Roaring bitmap. We must then read back this data. An integer could be serialized as four bytes in a stream of bytes.

I am always looking for ways to build faster, slicker web pages. Where applicable, I’ll use great new browser features such as service workers, HTTP/2 and improved compression, just to name a few. But what if I told you there was a way to build even faster web pages? I’d like to introduce you to the Streams API. Before we go any further, let’s go right back to basics.

Images are a key content on your website? If you’re serious about your website performance, you have probably optimized them. But have you considered to lazy load your images? Lazy loading images improves the user experience by saving bandwidth for important content first. Some reject the technique for SEO considerations.

With two blog posts, we argue for more use of simple models beyond Amdahl’s Law. This Part 1 discusses Bottleneck Analysis and Little’s Law, while Part 2 presents the M/M/1 Queue. Computer systems, from the Internet-of-Things devices to datacenters, are complex and optimizing them can enhance capability and save money. Existing systems can be studied with measurement, while prospective systems are most often studied by extrapolating from measurements of prior systems or via simulation software t

The Chrome team announced a new feature called Lite Pages that can be activated by flipping on the Data Saver option on an Android device: Chrome on Android’s Data Saver feature helps by automatically optimizing web pages to make them load faster. When users are facing network or data constraints, Data Saver may reduce data use by up to 90% and load pages two times faster, and by making pages load faster, a larger fraction of pages actually finish loading on slow networks.

You've done your due diligence. You've reviewed your automation. You've responsibly removed or refactored appropriate components. But despite these efforts, your automation takes longer to execute than you can tolerate; your team just can't wait that long for feedback.

Last week I “finished” a new medium-sized book (an ebook—that is, a PDF). But even as we downloaded the final PDF from Google Docs and uploaded it to our company website, I already had a file full of errata and omissions. Some of these are substantial problems, but my opinion remained almost unwavering: ship it. It was 20 years ago in college that I first heard a professor say, “a poem is never finished, only abandoned.

One major roadblock that prevents teams from successfully executing performance testing is a lack of training. Sometimes, just knowing where to start can be a challenge.

I was raised in an environment where feelings were minimized, denied, brushed aside. In some circumstances, acknowledging feelings could even be risky. As a result, I adopted a mostly unconscious perspective on feelings which didn’t serve me very well. Recently, however, I’ve become more aware of my feelings, and I’ve been surprised and pleased to learn what they have to teach me—and to rediscover thoughts , which I now also see in a new light.

When working with Go or any programming language for that matter, there is almost aways a need to validate the data that the user provides before you start working with it or storing it in a database. A sloppy way to validate data would be to use a series of if/else conditions, switch statements, and a bunch of regular expressions, but there are better ways to get the job done without having a disaster of a codebase in terms of maintainability.

Years ago I worked in the Xbox 360 group at Microsoft. We were thinking about releasing a new console, and we thought it would be nice if that console could run the games of the previous console. Emulation is always hard, but it is made more challenging when your corporate masters keep changing CPU types. The Xbox one – sorry, the original Xbox – used an x86 CPU.
