After yesterday’s belly aching, I made sure to bring fruit to feed the monster. This is one the Staten Island Ferry, which we took to see the Statue of Liberty.

High Performance Browser Networking
Today I learned that flushing the HTML document early can improve performance by allowing the browser to fetch resources as soon as possible.
Also, if you’re interested in learning more about web performance, High Performance Browser Networking is available to read for free on O’Reilly.
The HTML document is parsed incrementally by the browser, which means that the server can and should flush available document markup as frequently as possible. This enables the client to discover and begin fetching critical resources as soon as possible.
Google Search offers one of the best examples of the benefits of this technique: when a search request arrives, the server immediately flushes the static header of the search page prior to even analyzing the query. After all, why should it wait, the header is the same for every search page! Then, while the client is parsing the header markup, the search query is dispatched to the search index, and the remainder of the document, which includes the search results, is delivered to the user once the results are ready. At this point, the dynamic parts of the header, such as the name of the logged-in user, are filled in via JavaScript.

What I Learned When My Blog Post Went Viral
One of my coworkers, Dennis Hong, gave a presentation at WordCamp US about 4 things he learned after one of his blog posts went viral.
The thing that stuck out most to me was that his post went viral ~3 years after he initially posted it. ?
A few other issues that Dennis discusses are:
- Hosting
- Advertising
- Plagiarism
- Republishing
The presentation is under 10 minutes, and I’d highly recommend that you watch it. ?
