A String is not an Error
I decided to write a little article to discourage an unfortunately common pattern in Node.JS modules (and browser JavaScript, to a lesser extent) that can boil down to these two examples: // A:function myFunction () { if (somethingWrong) { throw 'This is my error' } return allGood;} and // B: async Node.JS-style callback with signature `fn(err, …)`function myFunction (callback) { doSomethingAsync(function () { // … if (...

Microsoft Edge extension manifest v2 migration to v3
In June 2023, Microsoft Edge would not allow Edge extensions with manifest version before v3 to be listed on Microsoft web stores as v3 extensions add more security privacy related restrictions on some of the functions. Hence all extensions with manifest v2 must migrate to v3. In this post, we would show how we did the migration for one of our extensions and the changes made. There is a checklist provided by Microsoft Edge team on what needs to be updated so that the extension can stil...

Multi-master,NoSQL and MySQL
The MySQL family has been innovating rapidly. New features need names and sometimes those names are confusing. Describing something as multi-master or a NoSQL solution has confused me.Multi-master requires one of conflict prevention, conflict resolution or faith. MySQL Cluster provides both conflict prevention and resolution as described in these great posts. Regular MySQL has minimal support for conflict prevention (auto-increment-offset can prevent insert conflict...

Chrome extension manifest v2 migration to v3
In 2023, Google would not allow Chrome extensions with manifest version before v3 to be listed on Chrome web stores as v3 extensions add more security privacy related restrictions on some of the functions. Hence all extensions with manifest v2 must migrate to v3. In this post, we would show how we did the migration for one of our extensions and the changes made. There is a checklist provided by Chrome team on what needs to be updated so that the extension can still work in v3. It can be checked ...

JavaScript finite state machine
Finite state machine is a very useful design model, it can be used to simulate many events in the world. In short, finite state machine has three features: Number of states is finite At any moment, one object can only be in one state In some condition, it will transfer from one state to another state In JavaScript, finite state machine can be applied in many places. For example, one menu element on a webpage. When the mouse hovers on the menu, the menu will show up, while the mouse moves away...

Microsoft wakes up to Open Source … in a big way!
Contrary to popular belief, Microsoft loves open-source. No, really! Don’t believe me? Read on: Today, Microsoft announced that it is open-sourcing all of its flagship web/cloud platform: ASP.NET MVC Web Pages (aka Razor), Web API. Importantly … these projects will be publicly hosted and that the team will continue development in the open (you’ll be able to view the repository and see the code commits as they happen) and that Microsoft will even cons...

the Performance Golden Rule
Yesterday I did a workshop at Google Ventures for some of their portfolio companies. I didn’t know how much performance background the audience would have, so I did an overview of everything performance-related starting with my first presentations back in 2007. It was very nostalgic. It has been years since I talked about the best practices from High Performance Web Sites. I reviewed some of those early tips, like Make Fewer HTTP Requests, Add an Expires Header, and Gzip Components. ...

Cache them if you can
“The fastest HTTP request is the one not made.†I always smile when I hear a web performance speaker say this. I forget who said it first, but I’ve heard it numerous times at conferences and meetups over the past few years. It’s true! Caching is critical for making web pages faster. I’ve written extensively about caching: Call to improve browser caching(lack of) Caching for iPhone Home Screen AppsRedirect caching deep diveMobile cache file sizesImproving app ...

JavaScript cross domain request solution
1. What is cross domain? We may often using AJAX to request data from other domain, now we will have cross domain request issues. It's because JavaScript only allows to request data from the same domain because of security consideration. In short, same domain strategy means a piece of code can read data from the same source, the same source here means the combination of the same domain, protocol and port number. For example: URLDescriptionAllow communication? http://www.a.com/a.js http:/...

A Solution to CPU-intensive Tasks in IO Loops
Back in October 2011, Ted Dziuba infamously said that Node.js is Cancer. A provocative title to a provocative article. The only thing it didn’t really provoke in the commentary was much thought ;) Zing. My interpretation of the article is that Ted holds up the classic blocking-IO process-per-request (or thread per request; same difference) model as superior. Yet we all remember where the blocking-IO forking model got Apache in the early days. ...
