"ES6 meta programming" using tagged template strings
// ES6 meta programming ???
// The more complex form of ES6 template strings are called
// "tagged" template strings. In short, they allow you to
// pass the final evaluated string to a function for further
// processing. This allows for some interesting things. For example:
//
// get`https://api.github.com/repos/${org}/${repo}/issues?sort=${sort}`;
//
// _could_ make a network request and return a Promise with the result

Quick steps of how to create a flame graph using perf

The prep-script.sh will setup the latest Node and install the latest perf version on your Linux box.

When you want to generate the flame graph, run the following (folder locations taken from install script):

sudo sysctl kernel.kptr_restrict=0
# May also have to do the following:

sudo sysctl kernel.perf_event_paranoid=0

Viewport meta tags used by the 20 sites that are listed in Social Driver's "20 Best Responsive Web Design Examples of 2012"

Intro

http://socialdriver.com/2012/07/20-best-responsive-websites/ lists 20 sites that are supposedly best-in-class when it comes to responsive design techniques. I had a look at the viewport meta tags used in these sites.

Findings

  • All sites use width=device-width, with in most cases an additional initial-scale=1. This is good practice.

However:

  • 8 sites turn off pinch-zooming by setting maximum-scale to 1, or using user-scalable=no. While there are some corner use cases for this, it does not make sense to do this on text-heavy sites as it impairs accessibility.
  • 3 sites use semi-colons as delimiters between viewport values. While this works in newer mobile browsers, it's not officially supported, and breaks in older mobile browser versions.
  • 1 site has 2 viewport meta tags (with different values) in the source...
