Simple font-smoothing in Internet Explorer

The filter and zoom rules in the sample stylesheet above will apply a smoothing/blurring effect to text elements. In the sample stylesheet, these rules are applied to all headers, paragraphs, list items, and table cells, but in practice, you will want to tailor the application of the smoothing effect to only those elements rendering with significant aliasing.

Nota Bene: the filter appears to place an overflow: hidden-style block around the elements being smoothed, so do not apply these rules directly to elements that need to scroll, or which contain absolutely positioned elements that appear outside the boundaries of the element itself.

Why I love Tabletop.js but don't use it in production

Tabletop.js is a fantastic, open-source JavaScript library that lets developers easily integrate data from Google Spreadsheets into their online projects. I've used it, even contributed a minor feature, and love it for prototyping. Non-programmers love being able to update a project via Google Spreadsheets' hyper-intuitive interface.

That said, I'm extraordinarily wary of using Tabletop in production. Instead, at the Wall Street Journal, we use a bit of middleware to "prune" our Google Spreadsheets-based data and then cache it on our own servers. A few brief reasons:

I read up a little on performance optimization for the Raspberry Pi, and gathered the links before they disappear from my short term memory.

Raspberry Pi general optimization

  • Use a class 10 SD card for best speed. The USB bus can't come much higher than 30MB/s so you don't have to buy any extremely fast ones though. Not all cards are compatible, check the compatibility list: http://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards
  • Use the HardFloat version of Raspbian instead of the SoftFloat. HF has much faster floating point operations - however SF is required for running Java. So it's either Java or performance, like normal.
  • The official Raspbian image gives low network speeds: http://elinux.org/RPi_Performance#NIC
  • A graphics driver by Simon / teh_orph is using hardware acceleration for some instructions: http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=28294 installation instructions: http://elinux.org/RPi_Xorg_rpi_Driver
  • The firmware can be upgraded which gives, among other things, better GPU performance.

js 'pagelet' concept

pagelet

tries to provide a way to use NPM to distribute web components with as little abstraction as possible

  • uses plain index.js, style.css, index.html etc
  • works in multiple environments

example (intentionally verbose)

consider a module called 'simple-button':
