These benchmarks on @fastly's Compute@Edge vs Cloudflare workers are seriously flawed.The biggest problem is that they conflate network round trip time with “execution at edge” time. CF is measuring cherry-picked RTT instead of edge compute performance. From their blog:

Right, so, personal news! I left Bulb, and I'm now available for contract work.
Technical leadership, product engineering, software architecture, cross-functional team working practices — I might be able to help.

The video for my talk "Fixing HTTP/2 and preparing for HTTP/3 over #QUIC" is now online. It focuses on the practical deployment challenges for these new web protocols. Spoiler: there are many.

When I first moved to the US the first thing I did on my first day of work was fill in health insurance details and it was baffling. What is the difference between deductible & co-pay, what is PPO and HMO. What does “in network mean”?
Ambulance call out? $2,500. Childbirth? $30,000.
Our NHS is not for sale, @realDonaldTrump

Never forget what that £4.2 billion could have been spent on:
🔹840k hip replacements
🔹91k nurses
🔹91k paramedics
🔹78k doctors
🔹4200 CT scanners
🔹2100 MRI scanners
🔹12 entire NHS hospitals
What a grotesque waste of taxpayers' money. The lives that could have been saved.
A responsible government must prepare for all scenarios, which is why I have made more than £4.2bn available for EU exit planning since 2016. In the coming days, @hmtreasury will allocate a further £2bn of that money to government departments to bolster #Brexit preparations.

Hello #webperf community: is there a conf talk you like/know of about a site rebuild done in part/whole for performance that you like/remember? Looking for a few suggestions when you have a moment to reply or RT. Video or blog post work. Thx a million!

Advice for conf speakers:
When someone you care for is speaking, sit in the first row. Be there for them. Laugh at their jokes, _actually_ watch the talk (Twitter can wait), make yourself visible for them.
Be the audience you'd like to have, and next time you will have it.

jq (stedolan.github.io/jq/) is one of the most undervalued tools out there. I can literally stitch anything together with it. My .zshrc is full of little functions using it for various kind of stuff. Thanks Stephen Dolan for creating jq stedolan.net/about/

If you're on Android P(ie), I strongly recommend turning on gesture navigation!
In Settings > System > Gestures > Swipe up on home button
· Multitasking and App drawer: Swipe home button up
· Switch to previous app (Cmd/Alt + Tab-style): Swipe right quickly and release

On Aug 6, a vulnerability in the Linux kernel TCP implementation, called #SegmentSmack, was publicly disclosed.
We worked with the security community in advance of this disclosure to address this vulnerability in our edge networks.
