Kazuho's Weblog is a personal blog at blog.kazuhooku.com about programming, web and systems. Since 2013, 20 different Hacker News readers have linked it 29 times, most often “Making the HTTPd run 20% faster with qrintf-gcc; a sprintf-optimizing compiler”. The last post was in 2020, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (4) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link Kazuho's Weblog for its HTTP/2 push and cache-awareness work (h2o, casper), the qrintf sprintf precompiler, and the unco git-undo tool. Commenters cite these posts without judging them.

What Hacker News says?
The most interesting thing I learned from this article is the sprintf() pre-compiler ( http://blog.kazuhooku.com/2014/10/announcing-qrintf-and-qrin... ). That's awesome. The rest, well, its a helpful check on over enthusiasm to be familiar with the shortcomings of UNIX. By dint of its popularity, diversity and long lineage, UNIX and its derivatives are particularly rich in warts. Yet, I think it must be true of all…

HN discussionThe main problem with http2 push and why it’s pointless is that it’s not cache aware. So you’re pushing unrequested data to everyone regardless. h2o tries to solve this problem with a special cookie. More here: http://blog.kazuhooku.com/2015/12/optimizing-performance-of-... But without something like that it’s a feature that will never really gain traction.

HN discussionThat's the thing, it doesn't. HTTP2 Push is one of the big "open field" of HTTP2, and to know whether a document needs to be pushed will rely on good heuristics and black magic. There is however a small standard that's emerging, pioneered by h2o, called casper ( https://h2o.examp1e.net/configure/http2_directives.html#http... ). The idea is that all resources ever sent to the client are stored in a probabilistic data…
