Benchmarking RegExp vs URL class for domain matching
/**
* Motivation: For a list of domains, is RegExp domain matching or URL class domain matching
* more performant in Firefox's JS engine? I used the website ``jsben.ch`` to measure.
* Spoiler: The URL class approach is 11% faster. Can this approach work with the
* ``matchSubdomains`` option?

biancadanforth / Improve ruleset performance with mostly low hanging fruit.md
Last active March 24, 2020 02:09
Draft issue to file on mozilla-services/fathom-login-forms to improve model performance

Since Bug 1595244 landed yesterday (based on the model at bff6995c), we have started to get some telemetry regarding how long it takes to show the password generation UI. We also did some profiling this afternoon. Taking both of these together, we think it would be prudent to make some relatively straightforward changes to the ruleset to improve its performance.

The following numbers are based on profiling Nightly, taking an average of 5 runs for a locally hosted registration page. Taken together, these sets of changes would speed up the model by about 42%, and there may be more low hanging fruit as well.

The diff below would speed up the model by about 25%. This would not require any retraining.

What happens after Outreachy?

Disclaimer: These thoughts are my own (Bianca Danforth) based on my experience starting as an Outreachy at Mozilla and now working as a Senior Software Engineer.

Congratulations! You’ve just completed your Outreachy internship. You may be wondering: Where do I go from here? How do I get a job in software engineering? Below are a set of steps I recommend based on my own experience.

Introspect

  • Identify goals
    • What are your professional goals?
    • If you're not sure where to start, ask other people you admire what their professional goals are.
  • Identify skills
  • What skills do you need to achieve your goals (those you already have, those that you need to improve, and those you need to learn)?
