Perfection kills » Profiling CSS for fun and profit. Optimization notes.

by karlcow

Fortunately, just few days before, Opera folks came out with an experimental “style profiler” (followed by WebKit’s ticket+patch shortly after). The profiler was meant to reveal the performance of CSS selector matching, document reflow, repaint, and even document and css parsing times.

Sitepatching - YouTube, Twitter, more Hotmail

by karlcow

PATCH-444, Make Twitter hashtags visible. Twitter does some script magic and ends up with broken element nesting: <span><strong>foo</span></strong> in turn causing Opera's layout engine to be upset. This will be fixed with the new parser so we'll just patch it meanwhile.

LINUX - Un patch qui boost les performances des Linux Desktop - Korben

by decembre
Linux est connu pour être l’un des OS les plus rapide du marché. Alors quand on voit que même Linus Torvalds s’excite sur un patch pour le kernel qui divise par 10 les temps de latence sur les linux desktop, on ne peut aussi que mouiller sa culotte de joie (voir pire pour les barbus).En effet, ce patch qui sera probablement déployé dans le kernel 2.6.38 a été développé par Mike Galbraith. Ce dernier en seulement 233 lignes de code a réalisé une « killer feature » qui optimise la distribution des tâches au CPU, evitant ainsi l’engorgement et du coup les temps de latence lors par exemple, du chargement d’une page web. Edit : Une technique proposant les mêmes améliorations sans avoir à recompiler le noyau est dispo pour Redhat et Ubuntu.

NASA - First-of-its-Kind Map Depicts Global Forest Heights

by karlcow

The new map shows the world’s tallest forests clustered in the Pacific Northwest of North America and portions of Southeast Asia, while shorter forests are found in broad swaths across northern Canada and Eurasia. The map depicts average height over 5 square kilometers (1.9 square miles) regions), not the maximum heights that any one tree or small patch of trees might attain.

Renting Out Tokyo's Tight Spaces - WSJ.com

by karlcow

In Tokyo, where every sliver of land is at a premium, a few feet of unused private property near the front entrance of an apartment building can be used to sell muffins. A patch of storefront space transforms into an ad hoc vegetable stand for a farmer or a consulting space for a fortune-teller.

3D Mandelbulb Fractal Ray Tracer • subblue

by rmaltete (via)
3D Mandelbulb Ray Tracer Mandelbulbs are a new class of 3D Mandelbrot fractals. Unlike many other 3D fractals the Mandelbulb continues to reveal finer details the closer you look. This implementation was written as a Pixel Bender filter then ported over to QuartzComposer as a GLSL patch to enable animation. The scripts run on the GPU which makes real-time interactive exploration possible. For more information behind the discovery of the Mandelbulb see the accompanying blog post.

KDE Partition Manager KDE-Apps.org

by tadeufilippini (via)
KDE Partition Manager 1.0.0 KDE System Tool VolkerLanz VolkerLanz Home - Volker Lanz Germany, Karlsruhe last visit Aug 23 2009 0 friends 0 groups other contents send a message add as friend more info - - KDE Partition Manager zoom KDE Partition Manager zoom KDE Partition Manager zoom Homepage: Link Depends on: KDE 4.x Downloads: 6549 Submitted: Sep 18 2008 Updated: Aug 18 2009 Score: score94�%score 94% good bad good Description: KDE Partition Manager is a utility program to help you manage the disk devices, partitions and file systems on your computer. It allows you to easily create, copy, move, delete, resize without losing data, backup and restore partitions. KDE Partition Manager supports a large number of file systems, including ext2/3/4, reiserfs, NTFS, FAT16/32, jfs, xfs and more. It makes use of external programs to get its job done, so you might have to install additional software (preferably packages from your distribution) to make use of all features and get full support for all file systems. KDE Partition Manager is also available as a bootable Live CD. Changelog: 1.0.0 ===== * Code unchanged from RC1. * Many translations heavily improved. 1.0.0-RC1 ========= * Correctly handle ext4 file systems even with patched parted 1.8.8 (and hopefully 1.8.9 too). Patch by Fatih Asici . (bug #195243) * Clear the partition flags for a copied partition in the preview. (bug #202346) * Write the new start sector to the partition's boot sector if an NTFS file system was moved or copied. (bug #202329) 1.0.0-BETA3 =========== * Set the default file system in the New-Partition-dialog, don't just rely on it being the first one in the list. * Sort items in file system combo boxes case-insensitively. * Fix a bug where the total free space available could get smaller and smaller when moving an existing partition in a dialog. * Fix a bug that the progress information wasn't set as window title for the top level application window. * Speed up copying file systems (and thus moving, resizing and copying). * Add some basic timing output to the detailed report for copying file systems. * Find a file system's mount point even if it is identified by label in fstab. * Add support for reading file system labels from FAT16 and FAT32. * Fix a bug where the volume label for a linuxswap file system was lost when resizing it. * Make sure all interesting information shown in labels anywhere in the application is user-selectable with the mouse. * Display the UUID for most file systems that support it. * Always show the current file system in the partition properties dialog's file system combo box, even if it cannot be created, is too big or too small. 1.0.0-BETA2 =========== * Add an application icon contributed by David Miller. * Allow setting the file system label in the dialog when creating a new partition. * Add a context menu to operation list. * Use a shell script to run partition manager as a child of hal-lock. This should in theory (and according to the hal-lock manpage) avoid notifications for new devices, but doesn't seem to work that well. * Fix a bug that would keep the user from deleting a newly created logical partition because the application thought there were higher-numbered partitions still mounted. * Add a kcm for KDE Partition Manager. If this is built and installed or not can be (like it already is the case with the KPart) configured via cmake. 1.0.0-BETA1a ============ Repackaged without documentation to fix build breakage on systems with cmake prior to 2.6.2. 1.0.0-BETA1 =========== * Fix a potential crash when merging a New Operation and a Create File System Operation. * Set extended partitions as busy as long as logical partitions inside them are mounted. * Don't silently succeed when unmounting a partition that cannot in fact be unmounted because it has no mount points. * Prevent creating a new partition table on a device with mounted partitions. * Add tooltips to partition widgets. * Don't show cd/dvd readers or writers as devices even if libparted reports them. * Add support for ext4. * Fix calculation of reserved/free blocks for ext2/3/4. * Output reason why a mount or unmount might have failed. * Fix minimum width for extended partitions in the partition table widget. * Fix a bug where a partition table just created would not disappear when the operation to create it was undone. * Don't allow creating partitions smaller than the device's cylinder size. * Fix an error that could lead to some space (a few megabytes) between two partitions being wasted. 1.0.0-ALPHA2 ============ Fix the most important bugs. See CHANGES in the source archive for detailed information. 1.0.0-ALPHA1 ============ Initial public release.
