I wonder how much effort it would be to put together something expanding on this that's really friendly to new developers exploring a system. The goal would be to have something that looks more like a traditional swimlane diagram, but with human readable labelling of the connections. The open telemetry data should provide a nice skeleton and then maybe use some LLM summarisation (with access to the source code) to label what's going on.

Single Page App. Simply: the application is loaded once when you navigate to the page and more ajax calls are used to retrieve data, perform actions as you use the app.

Google Wallet Card 13 years ago

It's getting pretty infuriating the direction they seem to be taking on this. I would gladly be using the wallet app without a card, KitKat on my Nexus 5 has it baked into the settings even, but Google seem to have no desire to put it out in the UK.

It seemed it was detached DOM elements that were causing most of the problems. We tried profiling with the Chrome dev tools but found it very difficult to pinpoint where to start looking from the thousands of elements generated every-time we repeated our workflow.

In the end we looked at the bottom line memory consumption and experimented until we saw reductions. We found using things like ng-show instead of ui-if, essentially preloading the partials and switching between them instead of reloading everytime, saved us enough memory to make the system viable.

Everytime I read an Angular postmortem I'm intrigued that I never see memory issues being raised.

In a recent rewrite of one of our applications into Angular we had huge issues with it consuming memory. I think our use case is quite distinct, we have a telephony component that needs to stay loaded so single page app really does mean single page app for us, but even so I would expect to see memory mentioned every now and then.

Bidding bonuses getting you discount vouchers seems like a novel idea to boost the price along. Nice way to to link people's interests in the product to the auction price.

Found it slightly annoying that I couldn't view other auctions without just picking numbers in the address bar though. (Or signing up I presume).

What I find most interesting is that the second highest trafficked event was in the middle of the UK working day. A lot of employers must have seen some big productivity anomalies during the Olympics.

Write a power dialler, that is a system that takes a list of numbers and the number of agents you have available and will ring enough customers so that the agents are on the phone more often than not.

Sell this to people running call centres, make sure it stays up all the time and they will love you.
