I was appalled when I first started reading this. But in reality, it feels quite true to HTML. The HTML author is declaring to the browser the purpose of this asset. This one is to be viewed as an image. This other asset is to be viewed as

As landscapes, they may well be less interesting. As communicative portraits, they're (IMO) more successful. The first one is probably the best example. Having a clearer and brighter picture of (for example) your partner and daughter w

You can certainly do that for iOS and Android - I've recently launched an application myself which does just that. At least 95% of the code is shared between platforms. There are some desktop bindings available, but they're relati

I've seen Mike Brondbjerg speak a couple of times about iterative artistic development using Processing and p5.js. It's really cool stuff, and I'd suggest seeking it out if the area interests you.

Without reading the docs in depth, there's a difference of about 142KB of render-blocking CSS. I'm sure the API and functionality depth is very different too.

There's some truth in here, but I wanted to highlight this section as one which needs correction: > He’s still using 4×5" and 8×10" film cameras, but I bet those medium-format puppies at #1 above could do the trick. Per

Here's another news story about the same man: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-world/world/americas/... Weird that we have to go to Miami to get our news, but oh well.

You're not wrong on the first point, but I imagine consistency with the front and back of the index was on the spec designers minds. I do have to point out that your second point is not correct. Remember it's not grid areas, it&#x

Cmon, that's disingenuous. It does a lot more than just display a few text strings. You've got routing, templates, event handlers, search, a lightbox, settings pages, the whole DM chat-style interface, the whole posting interface,

Additionally, you can count from the last grid divider with minus numbers. You can have -1, but I can imagine some pushback against -0.

I mean, 100kb is a big deal when it stops the page rendering, especially on mobile. But jQuery is not 100kb, it's 32kb when gzipped and minified. I think a better sentiment is that you probably don't need jQuery. jQuery is a g
