CSS Caching Issue

CSS Caching Issue 12/12/2003 08:55 PM

In my earlier blog entry on caching problems, the issue of CSS being overly aggressive about fetching background-images was mentioned. I have fixed the issue now so that background images will only be fetched when first used. Sites like SprintPCS load much more quickly with this fix.

Caching Issues 12/10/2003 06:39 PM

It sounds like there are two primary caching complaints that come up over and over in my blog comments. The first is that Safari caches subresources too aggressively, and the second is that Safari fetches subresources too aggressively. :)

We found the first problem. The WebCore cache was not actually making use of the proper expiration dates, which meant the WebCore memory cache would keep using stale objects even though they should have expired. We have fixed the problem, and we believe this will solve the vast majority of the stale content issues.

Caching with PEAR::Cache

Caching with PEAR::Cache 04/09/2004 04:02 PM
So, your web site is starting to get popular? With popularity comes more page request, and with more page requests comes higher server load. Don't get in a situation where you can't serve up the pages. Build your application to handle the load. That's where PEAR::Cache comes in. In this tutorial, Timothy will show you how to use it.

Image-Caching Projector

Image-Caching Projector 07/13/2004 11:50 PM

Here's an idea I came up with while on a walk tonight. There's a 50-percent chance it's already been invented — if it has, tell me where to find it.

The world needs a PC projector that will cache the displayed image. Say I'm tooling through my presentation in front of Mr. Venture Capitalist and I suddenly need to find something on a Web site.

Now, I don't want Mr. VC to see me fumbling around the Web (I'm supposed to know what I'm doing, right?), so the only choice I have is to shut off the projector or suspend the connection from the laptop so that I can Google without being displayed to the room. Room goes dark, there's an uncomfortable silence, and it's painfully obvious that everyone is waiting on me.

But what if I could freeze the image displayed from the projector? That way, VC and Co. could continue to look at the last slide I was showing them (my partner would chime in here with something witty to take the focus off me) and I could search away.

When I finally found what I needed and my screen looked like I wanted it to, I could resume the projector. Extra points if I could fade in from the last displayed image to my current screen.

Does this exist? If so, show me. If not, I just gave away a million dollar idea. That should be engraved on my tombstone.

Tales from the trenches: MySQL, Linux,
and Thread Caching

Tales from the trenches: MySQL, Linux,
and Thread Caching 09/15/2002 11:22 AM
Wow, it's been a busy week. I was totally swamped for several days dealing with the remember.yahoo.com MySQL servers and related stuff. And then I used a day or two to recover (sleep, shower, etc). Anyway, I made some interesting discoveries along the way. The most surprising one had to do with thread caching on Linux when you have a busy MySQL server--busy in a particular way, mind you. -- Jeremy Zawodny.

The Improved Web Kit

The Improved Web Kit 06/17/2005 02:53 PM

We've already received and committed several patches from external contributors and the repository has only been live for a few hours!

As some of you have already noticed (those of you that built), the new Web Kit not only passes Acid2, but it's also substantially faster at loading Web pages and at handling JavaScript. It contains a number of additional performance improvements that went in post-Tiger.

One question people have asked is "Does this have to replace my system frameworks?" The answer is "No." You can run this custom version of Web Kit with a particular instance of Safari without replacing your system frameworks. The run-safari script we provided does this for you. If you study what it does, you'll see that you can easily try out your own WebKit apps with the new frameworks as well. We in fact encourage you to do this so that you can make sure your apps are functioning properly with the latest WebKit.

Improved Search

Improved Search 07/11/2004 10:27 PM

I worked on improving the search on this site today. Search has been through a number of iterations. First, I used the basic Movable Type search. But it was slow and I wanted to do some interesting things with search.

So last year, I switched to using a SQL "LIKE" query to return two-tiered results, first from the title and keywords, then from the body and extended body. This has worked really well so far.

However, one thing bothered me about it: LIKE has no concept of word boundaries. This...

WHERE entry_text LIKE '%date%'

...returns matches for "date," "update," etc. So, I changed it a while ago to this syntax:

WHERE CONCAT(' ',entry_text,' ') LIKE CONCAT('% ','date',' %')

Basically, I started looking for the search term with a space on either side. This turned out to be an astoundingly stupid way to do it. What happens when the search term ends a sentence? Or begins the entry? Newlines, periods, and question marks are not spaces. Duh.

Today, however, I found the right way to do it:

WHERE entry_text RLIKE '[[:<:]]date[[:>:]]'

Those bracket-y things are MySQL's character classes for word boundaries. So it's like my "tack a space on either side" method, but it includes anything that's not a word. Very handy.

(But why don't I just use MySQL's full-text indexing, you ask? Because this is a hosted server, so I have to live with all the default MySQL settings. And the default settings exclude any word of less than four characters from being indexed. So three-letter acronyms like PHP, PDF, JSP, etc. wouldn't be in the index, and for a site like this, that's kind of a showstopper.)

I also did a little hacking of the search phrase you submit. For instance, searching for...

windows update

...will give you different results than if you search for...

"windows update"

Essentially, I tokenize the string but group quoted passages together. So, this...

"four score and seven years ago" abraham lincoln gettysburg

...would get tokenized like this:

Array
(
    [0] => four score and seven years ago
    [1] => abraham
    [2] => lincoln
    [3] => gettysburg
)

Finally, I included some stop words to save my database some work. This...

The penguin is the mascot of Linux

...gets reduced to this...

Array
(
    [0] => penguin
    [1] => mascot
    [2] => linux
)

So, I'm hoping to shake a few bugs out of it in the next few weeks, then I'll post the class so anyone who wants to can take a look at it.
