Does building a well-established website such as yours take a lot of work?
I am brand new to writing a blog but I do write in my diary every day.
I’d like to start a blog so I can share my personal experience and feelings online. Please let me know if you have any ideas or tips for brand new aspiring blog owners. Thankyou!

layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you
modify it yourself? Anyway keep up the nice quality writing, it’s rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays.

You can find Benoit’s write-up here. [...]

Despite requiring a bit of rework to make it fit, the Breakpad code turns out to give us more flexibility to avoid the sorts of problems we were hitting with libunwind.

But re-enabling that feature is important because we want to be profiling exactly what we are running.

I can’t remember the bug number for this, but I recall that was disabled a while back to quench profiler related crashes.

The e-mail app in Gaia is moving most of our back-end logic into a worker thread, and we’re really going to miss the ability to profile to see what it’s doing.

Is it possible to link to Vlad’s script? I had checked out some of the bugs the other day, and I also say it referenced as existing, but was unable to find it as an attachment or a linked URL or the like. Thanks!
