The MySQL adaptive hash index

If you're using MySQL, you likely have indexes that are powered by B-trees.The B-tree is a powerful data structure, and is frequently used to construct indexes in relational databases.If you are using the InnoDB storage engine, it is the only choice for your index, save for spatial indexes.However, MySQL has a secret weapon for making lookups with these types of indexes even faster: the Adaptive Hash Index, or AHI.Before jumping into how this works, let's take a few moments to review B-trees, th

Porting a cross-platform GUI application to Rust

In this blog post, we delve into the motivations for choosing Rust for our crash reporter, outline the unique challenges of designing an application that operates when the main browser has failed, and discuss the new architecture we've implemented. We also share insights into the technical nuances of the implementation, demonstrating how Rust's features are leveraged to handle crashes more effectively and securely. The post Porting a cross-platform GUI application to Rust appeared first on Mozil

Latency numbers every frontend developer should know

Web page load times and responsiveness to user action in web apps is a primary driver of user satisfaction–and both are often dominated by network latency. Latency itself is a function of the user's connection to the internet (Wifi, LTE, 5G), how far away the server is that the user is connecting to, and the quality of the network in between. While the latency numbers may seem low by themselves, they compound quickly. For example, a of depth 3 on a 300ms link leads to a total latency of 900ms.
