   I recently came across an article discussing the relationship between vitamin D, K, A, magnesium, and calcium levels. I can't vouch for it's accuracy but it does provide a number of references if you want to go further down the ra

    Google's Noto Sans CJK JP contains 9 font files, each about 13MB. You can edit fonts to subset glyphs or glyph sets you expect to use to further reduce the file size, although I suspect the CJK languages are never going to be as easy t

    First question, does that laptop have a SSD? Most developer machines do these days, that's the single biggest improvement to build times you can make. Then look at CPU, IO, memory utilization during builds to see where improvements can
