[03:41:26] gilles: is there an analogue version? [03:41:41] *analog [03:42:05] * AaronSchulz steps out of chemistry land [07:28:15] https://www.nngroup.com/articles/the-need-for-speed/ have we been getting faster at all over the years? [07:38:09] yes we have: https://grafana.wikimedia.org/d/000000038/navigation-timing-by-platform?orgId=1&from=now-5y&to=now [07:38:49] the stagnation in the past year is likely due to a known regression in our edge caching layer [07:40:02] still, we're almost twice as fast (as experienced by real users) as we were 3 years ago on mobile [07:45:23] the environment got 19% faster in the past year: https://techblog.wikimedia.org/2020/05/07/measuring-the-performance-of-wikipedia-visitors-devices/ so that's the general order of magnitude we missed out on due to that regression [07:58:08] the problem with the nngroup article is that they use the httparchive data, which is generated by a bot with fixed processing power. people have vastly faster devices than 10 years ago [08:31:21] thanks! :) [08:33:36] * addshore wants to copy the style of https://stackexchange.com/performance and make one for wikimedi [08:48:14] any idea how much data transfer per month we have? :P [15:35:11] addshore: several PBytes of outbound traffic, I could get more exact figures if you want [15:52:56] I did a terrible back of the napkin calculation that got to a range of something like 20-30PB a month [15:53:25] based on some grafana dashboard spit per DC and adding up whatever was happening this morning when I happened to look :P [15:57:06] I don't think it's double-digit PB [15:57:48] I probably looked at a spike ! [15:58:00] *goes back to do some better maths* [15:59:41] Aaah, I was looking at network tx which I guess is not acutually tx of the DCm but rather of all machines in the DC :) [17:29:23] yeah, the figure I was looking at was at outbound bytes as reported by the core routers [19:19:58] https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-53667664 [19:20:00] * AaronSchulz sighs [20:12:02] The face of the attorney when that happened is classic: https://twitter.com/briankrebs/status/1291004558374842369
