Switching from yui-compressor to yuglify saved me 1KB on bootstrap.js and 30 bytes on bootstrap+hyperbola css #performance
With this latest release, hyperbola has surpassed 500 commits! #win https://github.com/hyperbola/hyperbola/tree/2015-11-21-lifestream-template-refactor
lifestream template refactor didn't yield any #performance wins, but the code is much cleaner now. #win
Front page warm nginx latency is 12ms; contact page is 20ms #performance
Current prod gunicorn time (measured at nginx) for the lifestream index page is 70ms with no partial caching and 40ms with the sidebar cached #performance
Tested rendering the lifestream index with all 3 interpreters. pypy is slower than python2.7 by 2x. python3.5 is faster than python2.7 by 2x. #performance
Local development lets me run cool experiments. I have python2.7, python3.5, and pypy virtualenvs.
Sped up the lifestream page by 30ms by caching the archive sidebar. More template speedups to be had by switching to python3 (str to unicode coercion in python2) #win #performance
Root fs usage is down to 3.5G.
Finally started cleaning old deployments. After each deploy, my deploy script removes all but the latest 5 deployments for a given env. https://hyperbo.la/lifestream/352/ can rest peacefully.
90mbps upload to Box from the corporate network is pretty nice when backing up my photos (all 25GB of them).
Did some archeology today to unearth an ancient version of hyperbo.la. Same color scheme as today. Yes, there was an assets domain. Had to do forensic analysis to reconstruct the index.html.
It continually amazes me at how much conflict is solved with "assume good intent."
15 commit night on hyperbola, 5 on hyperbola-tools, and 12 on my dotfiles. Mostly code and style cleanups, some correctness fixes.
Last bits of major feature work were bootstrapifying several pages and adding automatic deployment (June 2014)
Just realized that hyperbo.la has been in maintenance mode for a while. Last few projects: upgrade to django 1.8, upgrade to django 1.7, upgrade vendored dependencies (bootstrap, retinajs).
I bought IntelliJ Ultimate and it has already been decently valuable: https://github.com/hyperbola/hyperbola/pull/28 ... fixing lots of warnings #win
