Egghead IO

Egghead IO: "README

I've never been satisfied with video tutorial sites, so I'm doing something about it. Egghead Videos aims to provide the best experience for teaching with video tutorials on the web.

I'm currently focusing on videos/content, so this first release will have very limited functionality. Once the AngularJS course is complete, then I'll switch the focus to site design and features."

Fastersite

Fastersite: "Mono-what-ic?
Perhaps less often considered is that Date, based on system time, isn't ideal for real user monitoring either. Most systems run a daemon which regularly synchronizes the time.

One such potentially costly operation is layout (aka reflow) -- the process of constructing a render tree from a DOM tree. The larger and more complex the DOM, the more expensive this operation may be."

)"

Ditching responsive design — GoCardless Blog

Ditching responsive design — GoCardless Blog: "What did we do instead?

For our new design, we decided to stick to a fixed grid of 980px. This gave us a canvas that comfortably rendered on almost all desktops as well as on tablets.
