// Basic instrumentation profiler by Cherno

// Usage: include this header file somewhere in your code (eg. precompiled header), and then use like:
//
// Instrumentor::Get().BeginSession("Session Name");        // Begin session 
// {
//     InstrumentationTimer timer("Profiled Scope Name");   // Place code like this in scopes you'd like to include in profiling
//     // Code
// }

1. Install uBlock Origin extension. (If you're not from US, check its options to turn on ad block lists for your country)

2. Do not install any other extensions ever! (exceptions: 1Password, Google Arts & Culture).

3. Create separate "people" for different activities: e.g. home, work, browsing sketchy websites. (Click on avatar > Manage People)

4. If you want to turn on sync, set up encryption passphrase. It's a separate passphrase from your Google account — your sync data will be encrypted locally with it before hitting Google servers.

5. Disable saving/auto fill of passwords, payment, and addresses. (https://twitter.com/Sc00bzT/status/1085521985017466881)

Scaling your API with rate limiters

The following are examples of the four types rate limiters discussed in the accompanying blog post. In the examples below I've used pseudocode-like Ruby, so if you're unfamiliar with Ruby you should be able to easily translate this approach to other languages. Complete examples in Ruby are also provided later in this gist.

In most cases you'll want all these examples to be classes, but I've used simple functions here to keep the code samples brief.

Request rate limiter

This uses a basic token bucket algorithm and relies on the fact that Redis scripts execute atomically. No other operations can run between fetching the count and writing the new count.
