Mobile data traffic has quadrupled since 2013. In order to cope with a newly diversified device landscape, engineers have embraced responsive design. Implementing “responsive images” is the most important thing that you can do for a responsive site’s performance.
In this session, we discuss the past, present, and future of responsive images.
Responsive layouts squish and stretch, tailoring themselves to the browsing context at hand. But images — which account for nearly two-thirds of the weight of the web — have been stuck in the fixed-layout past. Their solitary src has forced developers to optimize images around a particular context.
Until now! New, native responsive image functionality lets authors mark up multiple, alternate image sources. This markup paves the way for enormous performance gains by giving images the ability to adapt to meet users’ needs.
In this talk, we’ll kick the new markup’s tires and take it for a spin. We’ll get acquainted with how it works, how it doesn’t, and the new possibilities that it brings. Buckle up!

My Web Performance Dirty Secrets
Fred wants to come clean and reveal to all his web performance dirty secrets – it's too much burden to bear. He's been guilty of some malpractices in the past and so are a lot of people in the industry! Time to take a stand and reveal it all. Do you want to know why popular websites are struggling when comes the holiday season? Why black magic is so popular in some web performance team? Why your brand new and shiny F5 load balancer can be sometime a real waste of money? Or why third-party can really spoil the … party? Best of all, you will learn that there is something call 'The Cloud' that is about to become your best buddy and will prevent you from keeping … dirty secrets.
Open Web Camp 2014: On Fireproof, Future-Proof, Failure-Proof Things.Dylan Wilbanks
The moment we start creating a website, we’re setting ourselves up for failure later. Bad code creates middle of the night fire drills. Lack of thinking about accessibility gets our employer sued. Not thinking ahead on mobile generates rework.
We accept this as the normal course of business — but is there any way we could prevent (or lower) this cost? Is there anything we can learn from the building codes that dictate how our built environment is constructed?
A quick tour of how we got where we are with the web, and perhaps some valuable takeaway points.
Performance culture through the looking-glass - performance.now() 2022Dora Militaru
It’s 2022 and highly skilled engineering teams are yet to be immune against seasonal web performance regressions. Is performance a particularly tricky discipline – or is it a cultivated frame of mind?
At performance.now() 2022, I drew from collective reflections and my own experience, to plate up the tastiest morsels of food for thought on topics like:
* Speed ≈ money
* Fostering (and scaling) a strong performance culture
* Embracing apoptosis
This was about helping organizations to wrangle that tricky beast: sustainable web performance optimization.
Making the Web Fireproof: A Building Code for WebsitesDylan Wilbanks
The moment we start creating a website, we’re setting ourselves up for failure later. Bad code creates middle of the night fire drills. Lack of thinking about accessibility gets our employer sued. Not thinking ahead on mobile generates rework. We accept this as the normal course of business – but is there any way we could prevent (or lower) this cost? Is there anything we can learn from the building codes that dictate how our built environment is constructed?
We will talk about the lessons of building codes and what we can do today to build more robust web applications and sites, including:
- The need for design patterns in websites
- The need for patterns in user stories so that we build websites consistently
- Baking accessibility into websites comes from putting accessibility into user stories
- Planning a web application is different from planning a building, but it does share similar aspects of work
- The better we can becoming at creating best practices (building codes) the better we will get at building sites, and the closer we will come to Berners-Lee’s “one web for all” dream

Raiders of the Fast Start: Frontend Performance Archeology
There are a lot of books, articles, and online tutorials out there with fantastic advice on how to make your websites performant. It all seems easy in theory, but applying best practices to real-world code is anything but straightforward. Diagnosing and fixing frontend performance issues on a large legacy codebase is like being an archaeologist excavating the remains of a lost civilization. You don’t know what you will find until you start digging!
Pick up your trowels and come along with Etsy’s Frontend Systems team as we become archaeologists digging into frontend performance on our large, legacy mobile codebase. I’ll share real-life lessons you can use to guide your own excavations into legacy code:
What tools and metrics we used to diagnose issues and track progress.
How we went beyond server-driven best practices to focus on the client.
Which fixes successfully increased conversion, and which didn’t.
Our work, like all good archaeology, went beyond artifacts and unearthed new insights into our culture. We at Etsy pride ourselves on our culture of performance, but, like all cultures, it needs to adapt and reinvent itself to account for changes to the landscape. Based on what we’ve learned, we are making the case for a new, organization-wide, frontend-focused performance culture that will solve the problems we face today.
HTML5 seems to stuck in a rut: we got people very excited about it but at the same time we told them it doesn't work and needs a special environment and all kind of other quick shots. Now is the time to look at HTML5 closer again and take a look at where we stand. We're in good shape, we just need to look at the mirror again.
stackconf 2023 | Dynamic Image Optimization with imgproxy at Schwarz IT by An...NETWAYS
Images account for 42% of the LCP Element of all websites. But in 2023, still, we are seeing too large images delivered on websites – even on the Stackconf speakers page, I currently see 15 MB size and one 5 MB Image. Even if the techniques to resize and optimize images are available for quite some time – they’re still not used everywhere. In this talk I’ll give you an overview of the capabilities of the open source image optimizer imgproxy. At Schwarz we’re using it a dynamic image optimization engine for our Digital Leaflets delivered in all Lidl & Kaufland countries. Imgproxy is not only resizing images, but also delivering modern image formats like WEBP and AVIF. Ironically, the app itself is scaling up and down as well in STACKIT Appcloud.
For image optimization, reducing the quality doesn’t always lead to degradation of visual experience. In fact, precise adjustment of compression level and fine tuning of encoding settings can reduce significantly the file size without any noticeable degradation. But, there is no standard quality setting that works for all images - it depends on the compression algorithm, image format and content. And manually experimentation is not scalable.
In this webinar we cover how to find the best quality compression level and optimal encoding settings, in order to produce a perceptually fine image while minimizing the file size.

Challenges and Advances in Large-scale DFT Calculations on GPUs using TeraChemCan Ozdoruk
Recent advances in reformulating electronic structure algorithms for stream processors such as graphical processing units have made DFT calculations on systems comprising up to O(10 to the 3) atoms feasible. Simulations on such systems that previously required half a week on traditional processors can now be completed in only half an hour. Listen to Professor Heather Kulik, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, as she discusses how she leverages these GPU-accelerated quantum chemistry methods in the code TeraChem to investigate large-scale quantum mechanical features in applications ranging from protein structure to mechanochemical depolymerization. In each case, large-scale and rapid evaluation of electronic structure properties is critical for unearthing previously poorly understood properties and mechanistic features of these systems. Professor Kulik also discusses outstanding challenges in the use of Gaussian localized-basis-set codes on GPUs pertaining to limitations in basis set size and how she circumvents such challenges to computational efficiency with systematic, physics-based error corrections to basis set incompleteness
Slides by VMD lead developer Mr. John Stone, a pioneer in the field of MD Visualization. Visualization is essential to unlocking key insights from the results of MD simulations.

Molecular Shape Searching on GPUs: A Brave New WorldCan Ozdoruk
Shape is a fundamental three dimensional molecular property and a powerful descriptor for molecular comparison and similarity assessment; similarity in shape has proven to be a very effective method for predicting similarity in biology. As such shape-based virtual screening has become an integral part of computational drug discovery, due to both its speed and efficacy. OpenEye’s recent port of their shape similarity application, ROCS, to the GPU has resulted in a virtual screening tool of unprecedented power – FastROCS. FastROCS’ speed allows it to perform large-scale calculations of a kind inaccessible in the past and has accelerated more routine shape searching to the point that it has become competitive with more traditional, but less effective, two dimensional methods.

# Internet Security: Safeguarding Your Digital World
In the contemporary digital age, the internet is a cornerstone of our daily lives. It connects us to vast amounts of information, provides platforms for communication, enables commerce, and offers endless entertainment. However, with these conveniences come significant security challenges. Internet security is essential to protect our digital identities, sensitive data, and overall online experience. This comprehensive guide explores the multifaceted world of internet security, providing insights into its importance, common threats, and effective strategies to safeguard your digital world.
## Understanding Internet Security
Internet security encompasses the measures and protocols used to protect information, devices, and networks from unauthorized access, attacks, and damage. It involves a wide range of practices designed to safeguard data confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Effective internet security is crucial for individuals, businesses, and governments alike, as cyber threats continue to evolve in complexity and scale.
### Key Components of Internet Security
1. **Confidentiality**: Ensuring that information is accessible only to those authorized to access it.
2. **Integrity**: Protecting information from being altered or tampered with by unauthorized parties.
3. **Availability**: Ensuring that authorized users have reliable access to information and resources when needed.
## Common Internet Security Threats
Cyber threats are numerous and constantly evolving. Understanding these threats is the first step in protecting against them. Some of the most common internet security threats include:
### Malware
Malware, or malicious software, is designed to harm, exploit, or otherwise compromise a device, network, or service. Common types of malware include:
- **Viruses**: Programs that attach themselves to legitimate software and replicate, spreading to other programs and files.
- **Worms**: Standalone malware that replicates itself to spread to other computers.
- **Trojan Horses**: Malicious software disguised as legitimate software.
- **Ransomware**: Malware that encrypts a user's files and demands a ransom for the decryption key.
- **Spyware**: Software that secretly monitors and collects user information.
### Phishing
Phishing is a social engineering attack that aims to steal sensitive information such as usernames, passwords, and credit card details. Attackers often masquerade as trusted entities in email or other communication channels, tricking victims into providing their information.
### Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) Attacks
MitM attacks occur when an attacker intercepts and potentially alters communication between two parties without their knowledge. This can lead to the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive information.
### Denial-of-Service (DoS) and Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) Attacks
