CSS Wizardry
NOVEMBER 9, 2018
Despite having been called CSS Wizardry for over a decade now, there hasn’t been a great deal of CSS-related content on this site for a while. Let me address that by combining my two favourite topics: CSS and performance. CSS is critical to rendering a page—a browser will not begin rendering until all CSS has been found, downloaded, and parsed—so it is imperative that we get it onto a user’s device as fast as we possibly can.

Understanding how the Kubernetes scheduler makes scheduling decisions is critical to ensure consistent performance and optimal resource utilization. Kubernetes is an industry-changing technology that allows massive scale and simplicity for the orchestration of containers. Most of us happily push thousands of deployments and pods to Kubernetes every day.

Flamescope is a new open source performance visualization tool that uses [subsecond offset heat maps] and [flame graphs] to analyze **periodic** activity, **variance**, and **perturbations**. We posted this on the Netflix TechBlog, [Netflix FlameScope], and the tool is on [github]. While flame graphs are well understood, subsecond offset heat maps are not (they are another visualization I invented a while ago).

High performance computing (HPC) clusters are able to solve big problems using a large number of processors. This is also known as parallel computing , where many processors work simultaneously to produce exceptional computational power and to significantly reduce the total computational time. In such scenarios, scalability or scaling is widely used to indicate the ability of hardware and software to deliver greater computational power when the amount of resources is increased.

This article is a chapter from my book Explain the Cloud Like I'm 10. It has 30 reviews on Amazon! If you like this chapter then you'll love the book. The cloud is always busy proactively working for you in the background. That’s how cloud services compete with each other to keep you in their ecosystem. Most of the cloud services we’ve talked about so far have been request driven.

Recently I was asked about content management systems (CMS) of the future - more specifically how they are evolving in the era of microservices, APIs, and serverless computing. For enterprise customers either undergoing or planning the digital transformation, this is an important question to ask. Enterprise customers spend a large chunk of their digital and marketing budget on CMS and associated modules such as digital asset management (DAM).

There’s a lot of fear about AI replacing us humans, much of it around jobs specifically. History is filled with examples of jobs being lost to automation in general. While there was some suffering, society overall improved. Would you prefer to live in a world where a human has to operate an elevator for you? How many of you remember the long lines in the cash lane at toll booths?

When I started as a software tester, testing in production was what happened when teams didn't take QA seriously. But your application is being tested in production every single day by the people who use it. You just need to find a way to use all the data users are already generating.

At some point potential Hyper-converged infrastructure (HCI) users want to know – “How fast does this thing go?” The real question is “how do we measure that?” The simplest test is to run a single VM, with a single disk and issue a single IO at a time. We see often see this sort of test in bake-offs, and such a test does answer an important question – “what’s the lowest possible response time I can expect from the storage” However, this test

At the height of the Cold War, the United States passed the Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956, giving birth to the Interstate Highway System. Fueled by the fear of foreign attack and the need to quickly transport troops and equipment across the continent, the network of protected access highways ended up transforming the nation’s economy and culture forever.

Not too long ago I wrote a tutorial titled, Create an Email Subscription Popup with jQuery , that demonstrated how to create popup modals within your web application. In this example the modals were presented on a timer. If you hadn’t noticed, and I think most people did, The Polyglot Developer was using those modals for newsletter subscriptions exactly as demonstrated in the tutorial.
