Okay, thanks. It looks like nghttp2 uses the Link header[1] as you suggest, and mod_spdy uses a "X-Associated-Content" header[2]. My biggest concern with HTTP/2 is that it's going to be difficult for web applications to

That's my understanding as well, but it's pretty fuzzy. How does the client stop the push, and what are the performance implications of this? Pages currently include dozens of external resources, and this will get worse if devel

Wow, the "ideal" wealth distribution based on what people want is simply nuts. If top quintile owns 35% and bottom two own 25% (perhaps 15% and 10%, respectively)...that means the richest would own 3.5x more than the poorest, on

I'm reasonably up-to-date on HTTP/2, but there are a couple issues with request multiplexing and server push that I'm confused about: - When the browser requests a page, and the server wants to push the CSS, JS, etc. along wi

Agree 100%. Joel had a great essay on this back in the day called "Hitting the High Notes" [1] Perhaps a better way to look at this is to assume the average is 3X, and there exist developers at X, 10X, 0X, -X, and everywhere in b

This isn't related to the clear solar panels from the article, but there's been significant research on this for traditional solar panels as well as solar concentrators. Bottom line is, the mix of panels makes sense for northern c

Cool to see someone else doing this. If I was doing this myself, I'd suggest working on js.php. It's taking over 1s to get that single file, which appears [1] cacheable. An nginx reverse proxy or something comparable would make

Sure, sounds great. But out of all the people that would love to immigrate to the USA, how can we possibly distinguish the "great" programmers from the merely competent (or less)? Hiring is already an extremely difficult problem f

Having "stateless" HTML - meaning the base HTML document is the same for all visitors, across hours of time - can have significant advantages for performance and scalability. Your HTML is now cacheable, and you can host it on a d

Server logs will track all requests from crawlers, accelerators, and cancelled navigations. An AJAX callback will only happen for real human visitors that actually view the page.

Everybody gets developer tools today. But if there's a special developer-only Firefox, the dev tools in "regular" Firefox will stop getting new features, will fall out of date, stop providing value, and eventually be removed.

Nice. Looks like most of the content for those has been condensed at https://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html . Or if you Google the title you can find the original article (with a new URL on Yahoo). I'm

Really, the first concrete piece of advice is to strip whitespace and comments from HTML? That's like trying to save gas in your car by emptying out the glove compartment. There are some good nuggets in here though - the image/ta

HN Challenge: name a scenario in which defining a constant as 86400 is better then defining it as (60 * 60 * 24). Or, are there languages where you can't declare a constant with a multiplication expression?

The sad thing is, that conflict of interest exists for nearly every open-source project out there. The only real way to make money from creating open source is to do consulting based on your expertise, or an"open-core" model like

So what you're saying is...when you set the URL to something that no longer points to a Resource, it no longer works? Who could have guessed that undermining a basic concept of the Web might cause problems.

The 10x "mythology" doesn't mean 10x productive as an above-average engineer. It means 10x productive as the least-productive. So think of somebody who would consider you a 3x. Now the engineer who is 3x relative to you is

The advantage to writing test first is that it allows/forces you to test the test. If you write the test before you've written the code, then you'll be expecting the test to fail (in a very specific way) the first time it is run. By observ
