ColdFusion CachedWithin & Max Rows - bug or feature?
Recently a colleague and I have been working through the beating heart of our flagship application to try and improve performance and throughput. There was nothing wrong with the performance we were getting but we'd got some time to spare and so figured tweaking the code to get the absolute maximum out of it would be a fun excercise for a Thursday afternoon. One of the areas we looked at was caching some of the common MySQL queries that are called on every request using the CachedWithin attribute. Having merrily rolled this out we fired up our test site expecting pleasing improvements in page load times and instead found that the site was pretty much completely borked.Re-enabling AdBlock PlusAdBlock
For the last month I embarked on an experiment - I disabled AdBlock Plus (normally the first FireFox extension I install) in an attempt to be more supportive of the sites I visit on a daily basis. The argument against AdBlock and similar technologies is perfectly simple - websites rely on advertising to monetize and support their content production - blocking the ads means you're effectively removing any chance the content provider has of making any money out of your visit.
