VP9 encoding/decoding performance vs. HEVC/H.264
A while ago, I posted about ffvp9, FFmpeg's native decoder for the VP9 video codec, which significantly outperforms Google's decoder (part of libvpx). We also talked about encoding performance (quality, mainly), and showed VP9 significantly outperformed H.264, although it was much slower. The elephant-in-the-room…

Faster JavaScript parsing
Over the past year or so I’ve almost doubled the speed of SpiderMonkey’s JavaScript parser. I did this by speeding up both the scanner ( bug 564369 , bug 584595 , bug 588648 , bug 639420 , bug 645598 ) and the parser ( bug 637549 ). I used patch stacks in several of those bugs, and so in those six bugs I actually…

Life of an HTTP request, as seen by my toy web server
When learning a new programming language, I tend to write two things with it: a language interpreter (usually a FORTH-like language or Brainfuck if I'm feeling lazy), and a HTTP server. Sometimes, just as a challenge or a way to quench my boredom, I do this even though I've been working with a particular language for…

A Supermarket Bag and a Truckload of FOMO
The day was nearing to a close. The sun has already set, but that Friday evening in Amsterdam was still warm. Unusually warm, in fact, for those late days in March – as if spring decided to bless my pilgrimage, for that pilgrimage was not jovial. I was sitting at a ramen joint, sipping on the broth. To my left, a…
