    1. All about Caching: Strategies, Challenges and Optimization

      Caching is a crucial technique in modern #webservices, helping to improve #performance, reduce #latency, and minimize the load on servers and networks. The principle is simple: storing copies of data in a more quickly accessible location to enable faster access to that data. But, as with many technologies, the devil is in the details. In fact, creating a good configuration is very difficult and the smallest mistake can be very detrimental to the performance of our #website.

    1. Figured it out. Cache-Control header is required.

      js const headers = { 'Cache-Control': 'public, max-age=604800' }; const request = new Request('https://foobar.com/') const cacheResponse = new Response('bar',{ headers }) const cache = caches.default await cache.put(request, cacheResponse) const response = await cache.match(request);

    1. The presence of an Age header field implies that the response was not generated or validated by the origin server for this request. However, lack of an Age header field does not imply the origin was contacted, since the response might have been received from an HTTP/1.0 cache that does not implement Age

    1. Restrictive placement policies of this kind lead to a type of miss known asa conflict miss, in which the cache is large enough to hold the referenced dataobjects, but because they map to the same cache block, the cache keeps missing.

    1. It's difficult because it's a case-by-case basis - there is no one right answer so it falls into subjective arguments.
    2. Space: Suppose we had infinite memory, then cache all the data; but we don't so we have to decide what to cache that is meaningful to have the cache implemented (is a ??K cache size enough for your use case? Should you add more?) - It's the balance with the resources available.
    3. Time: Suppose all your data was immutable, then cache all the data indefinitely. But this isn't always to case so you have to figure out what works for the given scenario (A person's mailing address doesn't change often, but their GPS position does).
    4. The underlying data might get changed by another process and then your process that uses the cache will be working with incorrect data
    5. You have to guess when the data is not likely to be needed in memory. It can't be too short that the cache is useless, and too long that you'll get a memory leak.
    1. So the hard and unsolvable problem becomes: how up-to-date do you really need to be?
    2. After considering the value we place, and the tradeoffs we make, when it comes to knowing anything of significance, I think it becomes much easier to understand why cache invalidation is one of the hard problems in computer science

      the crux of the problem is: trade-offs

    3. The non-determinism is why cache invalidation — and that other hard problem, naming things — are uniquely and intractably hard problems in computer science. Computers can perfectly solve deterministic problems. But they can’t predict when to invalidate a cache because, ultimately, we, the humans who design and build computational processes, can’t agree on when a cache needs to be invalidated.
    4. Cache invalidation is hard because: Everything in life we want to know, changes.Those changes are non-deterministic.
    5. you began by first finding out if your crush was already in a relationship. If so, you then did what you could in your power to have the most most up-to-date information on their relationship status. The downside of outdated data is self-evident: you want to move in at the first sign of the current relationship dissolving.
    6. Sometimes humorously extended as “cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors.”
    1. There’s only one hard thing in Computer Science: human communication. The most complex part of cache invalidation is figuring out what the heck people mean with the word cache. Once you get that sorted out, the rest is not that complicated; the tools are out there, and they’re pretty good.
    1. One reason Turbolinks sites seem faster than traditional web apps is because of its cache. However, the cache can be a source of great frustration. Many of the edge cases we're going to discuss involve the cache in some way.

    1. They say that there are only two hard problems in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors. Caching is what Service Workers do. It’s literally the #1 hard thing! … or maybe the #0 thing? Whatever. It’s hard.

    1. Using the Git SHA in your image tag makes this less necessary since each job will be unique and you shouldn't ever have a stale image. However, it's still possible to have a stale image if you re-build a given commit after a dependency has changed.

    1. In addition to strings, Redis supports lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, bit arrays, and hyperloglogs. Applications can use these more advanced data structures to support a variety of use cases. For example, you can use Redis Sorted Sets to easily implement a game leaderboard that keeps a list of players sorted by their rank.

      redis support more data structure memcached is k-v

      memCached is not highly available, beause lack of replication support like redis

    1. INFERNO VIII↩⚓✪ The Fifth Circle. Intemperance in Indignation⚓✪ The Wrathful and Sullen. Styx. The City of Dis

      The City of Dis refers to the walls that encompasses all of lower hell where the serious sins are punished. Dis, also known as Pluto, is one of the kings of the underworld. Dis represents Lucifer and the lower circles of his infernal realm. It is in The Inferno because it is where the worst sinners reside and is imperative to Dante’s portrayal of his own version of hell.

    1. The purpose o this source is to encourage readers to have safer sex.

      Not really, right? I mean, who reads this journal?

    2. itative comparison analyses of the national coverage to help appraise their argument.

      Great! Here you are describing evidence

    3. They

      "they"?

    4. only

      Why "only"?

    5. about Bobby Orr.

      It's not about "Bobby Orr," right?

    1. How are individuals who lived in the Eureka Valley, San Fransico (The Castro) embodied in the Aids Quilt?

      Your sources don't seem to speak to the specific community of Eureka Valley. I wonder why not?

    2. flaw

      why "flaw"?

    3. using incidence, lethality, and morality coefficients

      If these are their terms, you need to put them in quotation marks.

    4. So maybe because he was a man and he also probably wasn’t protected is why he died from aids.

      huh... seems you're seeking and thinking about connections between the person and the epidemic, not your research question.... Do you understand the difference?

    5. ould be anyone

      not "anyone"... "researchers" right?

      different from what? How specifically does this speak to your research?

    7. The purpose of this article is to see how participation in a friendly gay neighborhood contributes to the variability of gay youth.

      What's missing in these entries is a description of the kinds of evidence the authors use...

    8. connection of my artifact.

      I don't understand... You say the article would be helpful to someone looking for info about gay men of color, and that's what you were looking for, so where does it go wrong for you?

    9. The intended audience for this article would be anyone who wants to know about gay men

      Who reads this journal? Not "anyone"...

    10. There are several authors for this source but Stephen L. Eyre graduated from The University of California with a Ph.D.

      This needs to be one sentence naming all of the authors and citing their general qualifications AND identifying their thesis.

    11. oject preserves panels that ha

      Why center this text? Why is this intro about the NAMES project more than it is about your research project?

    1. This letter was written by Bobby to

      Is this writing "about" the letter? giving a summary? Or is it describing the 'letter'? (Really this is a post card, right?)

    2. That was probably placed there to emphasize that is the name of the person who they lost

      This kind of writing needs to go somewhere else; focus on delivering just "thick description" in the bulk of this page...

    3. The subject of this quilt’s memorial is Bobby Orr is the name on quilt 1333.

      read this sentence out loud. Do you hear what's wrong with it?

    4. els

      Just one, right?

    5. s ther

      comma missing here...

    6. 1960’s.

      Perhaps "from" the 1960s? But not just of this decade, right?

    7. orial “the quilt” so

      memorial, the quilt, ... (notice the commas)

    8. co there mission

      This becomes a runon sentence here. Do you mean... Their mission?

    1. This made me that of ways I can promote or advocate something on social media.

      Develop this idea: what do you mean?

    2. vinyl is a text,

      cool

    3. he primary text

      THe next step is to start thinking rhetorically; who is your audience? (not me, not your classmates) What info do they need to have to make sense of this post?

    1. Combing Haltman’s idea of Material culture and 3-d printing we can employ many ways to incorporate touch and serval other senses to our culture sense

      What does this mean?

    2. The authors of the Haltman’s text taught me how to experience an object as space, right then and there. Not only how I would experience but how other people would experience the space of that object.

      THIS IS IT! I think... What would Haltman say about 3D printing (as represented in the 3D article?)

      to make the connection between the 90s epidemic and what?

    2. they are trying to fi

      'they"?

    3. the national coverage to help appraise their argument.

      what nation coverage? what argument?

    4.  like bibliographies and tables

      good. what kind of bibliographies? tables of what? The rest of this sentence doesn't yet make sense... what do you mean?

    5. This source connects to my artifact because for Bobby Orr and article like would have been very helpful. Showing and explaining ways to prevent aids/HIV for people just like him.

      But how might this source be useful to you, in your research efforts?

    6. safer sex. The intended audience of this article come be for researchers who are looking for ways to encourage safe sex or possibly college students.  Someone who’s family member who has recently died of aids would possibly be interested in help prevent others from getting aids.

      These sentences don't quite make sense together. Who reads this journal? Why? What for?

    7. he purpose o this source is to encourage readers to have safer sex.

      Are "readers of this source" ... readers of The American Journal of Public Health"... having lots of unprotected sex?

    8. evidence of developing materials

      what does this mean?

    1. Next to the R on the right side of the name is a photo. I believe this photo was placed here because this is a photo of Bobby Orr. The photo is laminated, probably so that it can be preserved for a long time. The laminated photo was stitched on with a blue string. The photo is a bit creased, meaning that it been there for a while. The photo itself has a brown, grey color scheme meaning that it was taken a while ago. This is also assumed because he died in 1989

      Two sentences in this paragraph do not belong. which ones and why...

    2. The 20th century is assumed because in most of the other surrounding panels the date was of the 20th century.

      objective description?

    3. Probably there to emphasize that this is the name of the person they lost.

      Is this objective description?

    4. First I will describe the bold letters and numbers.

      why first?

    5. would be

      'would be'? Is this what you mean? Or do you mean "are"? What 's the difference?

    6. Information about the quilt

      Great! I like how this begins an introduction at the Panel level. This assumes people will read the "about" page or another page for more general information about your project. You might want to add a gloss of that info here... Can you imagine why?

    1. HTTP/1.1定义的 Cache-Control 头用来区分对缓存机制的支持情况, 请求头和响应头都支持这个属性。通过它提供的不同的值来定义缓存策略。

      Request Header与Response Header都支持这个属性 通过调整Cache-Control头可以做出很多缓存策略:

      1. 完全不支持
      2. 不缓存内容
      3. 私有缓存
      4. 公共缓存
      5. 缓存过期时间
    2. 通常定义Pragma以向后兼容基于HTTP/1.0的客户端

      效果同Cache-Control:no-Cache相同,区别在于HTTP响应头不支持这一个属性,不能完全取代Cache-Control属性..

    3. 在过期时间前,资源缓存是有效的,反之则缓存失效。通过不停抛弃过期的缓存资源以保证资源的实时性。注意,旧的缓存不会被抛弃或者忽略;当发起一个针对旧缓存资源的请求时,会在请求头里带上If-None-Match用来判断缓存是否还有效。如果有效,服务端返回304(Not Modified)和空的body以节省一部分带宽。

      为何要有时效性:

      1. 空间有限
      2. 服务器可能有更新文件

      在缓存有效期过期前,不会去询问服务器资源是否有效..如果缓存过期,就会在请求头上带上If-None-Match来判断缓存是否依旧有效

    4. 当 web 缓存发现请求的资源已经被存储,它会拦截请求,返回该资源的拷贝,而不会去源服务器重新下载。

      这样可以重用已经获取的资源,提升网站的性能

    1. Optimum buffer size is related to a number of things: file system block size, CPU cache size and cache latency. Most file systems are configured to use block sizes of 4096 or 8192. In theory, if you configure your buffer size so you are reading a few bytes more than the disk block, the operations with the file system can be extremely inefficient (i.e. if you configured your buffer to read 4100 bytes at a time, each read would require 2 block reads by the file system). If the blocks are already in cache, then you wind up paying the price of RAM -> L3/L2 cache latency. If you are unlucky and the blocks are not in cache yet, the you pay the price of the disk->RAM latency as well. This is why you see most buffers sized as a power of 2, and generally larger than (or equal to) the disk block size. This means that one of your stream reads could result in multiple disk block reads - but those reads will always use a full block - no wasted reads. Now, this is offset quite a bit in a typical streaming scenario because the block that is read from disk is going to still be in memory when you hit the next read (we are doing sequential reads here, after all) - so you wind up paying the RAM -> L3/L2 cache latency price on the next read, but not the disk->RAM latency. In terms of order of magnitude, disk->RAM latency is so slow that it pretty much swamps any other latency you might be dealing with. So, I suspect that if you ran a test with different cache sizes (haven't done this myself), you will probably find a big impact of cache size up to the size of the file system block. Above that, I suspect that things would level out pretty quickly. There are a ton of conditions and exceptions here - the complexities of the system are actually quite staggering (just getting a handle on L3 -> L2 cache transfers is mind bogglingly complex, and it changes with every CPU type). This leads to the 'real world' answer: If your app is like 99% out there, set the cache size to 8192 and move on (even better, choose encapsulation over performance and use BufferedInputStream to hide the details). If you are in the 1% of apps that are highly dependent on disk throughput, craft your implementation so you can swap out different disk interaction strategies, and provide the knobs and dials to allow your users to test and optimize (or come up with some self optimizing system).

      What's the cache size to keep when reading from file to a buffer?
