This was a chance to talk about other things I've been working on, such as the present and future of hardware performance. The video is on [youtube]: The slides are [here] or as a [PDF]: first prev next last / permalink/zoom I work on many areas of performance, but recently I've had a lot of demand to talk about BPF.

HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

That pricing won’t be sustainable, particularly as hardware shortages drive up the cost of building infrastructure. These models are typically smaller (7 to 14 billion parameters) and easier to fine-tune, and they can run on very limited hardware; many can run on laptops, cell phones, or nanocomputers such as the Raspberry Pi.

You may not think about it often, but the Internet uses a colossal amount of electricity. This, in turn, means that the Internet’s carbon footprint has grown to the point where it may have eclipsed global air travel , and this makes the Internet the largest coal-fired machine on Earth. These include data transfer (i.e.

Let’s take a look at some of the best error monitoring tools and strategies for 2018. Monitoring errors on the front-end requires a bit more work because front-end performance is highly dependant on the user’s hardware, software and connection. What is Error Tracking?

I followed that practice when writing some earlier books, and it has since struck me as unfair that some references had author names and some didn't.

The new AWS EU (Stockholm) Region will have three Availability Zones and will be ready for customers to use in 2018. After finding it cost prohibitive to use colocation centers in local markets where their users are based, iZettle decided to give up hardware. Over the past decade, we have seen tremendous growth at AWS.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later).

Globally in 2018–2019, according to the IDC, 87% of all shipped mobile phones are Android devices.

In 2018, the Alliance of Open Media has released a new promising video format called AV1.
