Not using external service for font anymore because it's blocking. That means your time to first render is directly impacted by the time your user download fonts from a third party. And have you ever landed on a site fully rendered but

So basically you make a claim that french is easier to rhyme than english, then I ask you if you have any evidence and you retorqued with a condescending answer adding a link to a book you took 5 second to google and that you didn't re

How is french easier to rhyme than english? Do you have empirical evidence? Since I'm a french canadian who is lucky enough to speak the two languages, I find it difficult to believe. Remember that rap (rhyme and poetry) was populariz

I often see native, iOS app being sluggish and I don't blame it on Objective-C or Swift. I blame it on the application. I don't understand how it's different when it comes to web apps.

I thought it was someone from Slack talking about their infrastructure (or similar). Instead, it's some abstract theory. I believe everyone can dream of any architecture.

This kind of comment just show ignorance. The kernel has been around for a few decades while semver has been around for what, 3 years now? Maybe it will adopt semver at some stage. I doubt it because the API is way too complex and broad to

Love the SaneScript idea, that could be very big.

I would have thought it would bring new A/B testing possibilities that would have been otherwise impossible. Oh well, thanks.

I'm assuming React Native can load external JS files over the network? If that's the case, then I understand why Facebook is building this. They could have control of their application and behavior and make even more changes than

It uses a new version of Webkit(That includes DOM Mutation Events IIRC). But I believe that they always ship with their own version of webkit, which will always be behind. For PhantomJS 2.0, I think they ship with a version of webkit that i

I once wanted to do automated testing with it. But because PhantomJS used an old webkit version, I couldn't :( But that's one use case where I would love to use phantomJS or any other headless engine to test the frontend. I'm

Shipping is better for the confidence. And if you build a prototype that makes it into the product, boy does that raise the confidence level.

One thing that is perhaps counter intuitive is how you do a lot of for loops compared to other languages (Compiled/Statically typed included). Once you let go your previous expectations, Go gets a lot nicer to use. The amount of for lo

My blog has been in the top 5 a few times. When you reach the top 3 positions, you can expect around 150-250 simultaneous users for a few hours. Top 5 is more like 50-75. Top 15 is around 25-50. Those numbers aren't req/sec but si

IIRC, Apple also does something similar (skipping a few sections of the standard) to acquire a lease faster. That's why Macs connect faster to the network. I'm not an expert on the implementation of mac/windows/linux so

No need to be snarky. I'm not reading NK news everyday and I'm sure I was not alone not knowing about that Unit 121. Even so, this article actually raises more question than it answers. Was Sony's security really weak or was

Am I the only one thinking that maybe the attack came from North Korea, but the hackers originated from China? Maybe China even loaned the hackers? I can't see how NK could have a hacker force when they are so behind in technology. For

What a narrow view you have. Torrent makes it accessible to see things you have paid for but didn't have time/forgot to watch (TV series). They also make it accessible to get stuff you couldn't (Not because it's availabl

There's something that I really need to get off my chest and I looked for an occasion to vent my frustration for a while. I'm taking this occasion right now. Instead of adding new APIs, is it possible to address the ENORMOUS eleph

Just to pile on what you said, I believe that with Flex and other CSS rules, the DOM tree is less deep then it used to be (less wrappers for alignments). Obviously, I don't work at the scale of Facebook, but it's a tendency that I
