University of Toronto ☛ Thinking about filesystem space allocation policies and SSDs


↺ Thinking about filesystem space allocation policies and SSDs


> Historically, many filesystems have devoted a significant amount of effort to sophisticated space allocation policies. For example, in Unix one of the major changes from V7 to 4.x BSD was the change to the Berkeley Fast File System (also) with its concept of 'cylinder groups' that drastically improved the locality of file data, directory data, and inodes. Various other (Unix) filesystem allocation related technologies have been developed since, for example the idea of delaying deciding where exactly data will live in the filesystem until it's about to be written out, which allows the filesystem to group data better (especially in the face of the fsync problem, where only some of the data may get written out right now).



Harry Cresswell ☛ Reducing CSS


↺ Reducing CSS


> With this in mind, last week I set out to rewrite the CSS on my personal site with the aim of cleaning up redundant styles and make some general improvements. In the process I managed to reduce the file size of my stylesheet by 33% – all with virtually zero change to the overall design.


> Maybe this isn’t much to shout about when it concerns some low-traffic personal website, but this would be a big deal for a commercial website. Savings like this can improve site speed, increase conversion and ultimately lead to more sales. And all it took was a simple audit of my styles and a slight rethink about how I write CSS.


> Let me explain what’s changed and how I’ve managed to achieve the exact same results from 134 fewer CSS rules.
