In my view, DX should be renamed "Developer Convenience" as we all know that convenience is often a trade-off. Please forgive the self-promotion but this was exactly the premise of…

iirc, most content delivery networks have now configured initcwnd to be around 40, meaning ~58kb gets sent within the TCP slow start window and therefore 14kb is no longer relevant…

Great to see presentation of actual facts rather than unsourced anecdotes – it cleared up some of my own misinterpretations.

This will make complex upserts so much more simple, fantastic addition. I really hope `RETURNING` support gets added to `MERGE` asap though (I believe it's been noted as a fairly t…

You've got a fairly heafty JS file on the critical rendering path (350kb), so one option to help your roundtrips 3 is to preload the other files it uses so it's not dependent on th…

Another thing to be mindful of with Render: currently there's no native high-availability Postgres / Redis.

I don’t want to distract from the tragedy itself but, even after all this, more people will continue to suffer due to the subsequent cladding scandal. The UK government are trying …

> Mandrill has a `render` endpoint which makes this easy. None of the others have this yet. Campaign Monitor have the ability to take an API call and render into HTML using templat…

> schwinn: were the filmstrips enough to convince them, or did your bosses want to see numbers/stats like how many were dropping off your site for each x-seconds of delay? There ar…

One technique I've seen work well for getting bosses to care is showing them how much slower their sites are than their competitors - nobody wants to be worse than their competitio…

iOS is getting Service Worker support in 11.3 [1], this is one of the key foundations for PWA support, so the situation is improving. I reckon it’ll be a long time before we see PW…

It makes sense as an approach – Dropbox open-sourced a library along these lines, called zxcvbn: https://github.com/dropbox/zxcvbn

I'm going to guess Google would penalise that behaviour for showing different content, justifying it as "harming the user experience" or something. If they don't do this already, t…

Are 16x TB3, 4x TB2 AND 4x USB3 actually achievable with current/near-future hardware? If Apple were to implement this, I'd imagine it would be N x TB3/USB3 USB-C format ports, an …

Can anyone comment on the best way to run multiple DNS services? Is this as simple as setting up the same records on multiple providers and updating your nameservers to point to th…

It's not so much about performance, it's about specificity. To override anything in `.c-button.primary` you'd need something to have equal or greater specificity (meaning you could…

Does anyone know if this is going to be available via the standardised Web Payments API? [1] (support being worked on by Chrome [2] and Microsoft Edge [3]) That way web developers …

I agree with the above. That said, even if you are doing something new, you don't need to reinvent the wheel – it may be worthwhile taking a look at https://www.contentful.com/ (no…

Ditto this, the integrations are really the icing on the cake for Slack. We've even written notifications from our own applications to push into Slack, so we get notified on everyt…

This is excellent news - SNI very widely supported in browsers now, so there is little excuse to avoid it. Would be great to see SPDY/HTTP2 support so the overhead of serving many …

I also use this setup. Sometimes Sketch can be a little fiddly to get SVG export working properly, so iDraw fills that niche nicely for me. I'm glad to finally see Layer Styles in …
