In TIL #clickhouse edition, the quantile() function only does sampling. quantileExact() generates, you know, actual quantile values. Naming things can be hard, but this one was self inflicted. clickhouse.com/docs/sql-ref...

It is 2025 and the reminder of "check the return value" is still needed. I'm to blame as much as the next person, trying to be better.

Avoid marking too many requests as high priority - "If all resources are a priority, none is a priority" Selectively use the fetchpriority="high" attribute to prioritize only the most important resources, for example, the LCP image. #WebPerf #Performance #PerfTools #PerfTips

I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don’t mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!

To CSS minifier devs - please include an option to leave the content of "content" alone - github.com/parcel-bundl... - ideally making it the default - it will reduce the headaches all the way around #css #webperf #minify

Curious if anyone in the #webperf community is using this. Would be nice if Safari and Firefox supported more of the recent metrics natively, but in the mean time I'm open to alternatives.

I've had a few people reach out to me recently asking for help with LCP issues where they are looking at optimising the wrong thing. They were asking what frontend improvements they could make when that was not the problem. Yup it's time for another long thread to try to explain... 🧵 1/17

Are there any Bluesky apps that will keep track of where you left off reading? Ideally I'd like to only see posts that happened since the previous session. And not just for the main feed, but for tags ( search ) as well.

This is so well deserved. Not only is Pat one of the most brilliant people I've ever had the opportunity to work with, but he's so generous with his time—I wouldn't be able to do what I do without all the times over the years that Pat patiently answered my questions and helped me figure things out.
