Historically, the best practice for loading CSS has been to combine all CSS into a single file and load it in the <head>. This turns out to be a performance issue on mobile. If your combined styles are large, painting is blocked on the download of the entire sheet. On mobile, an external stylesheet loaded in the head can easily add 1 to 2 seconds of additional latency to render time. Even an empty external stylesheet will add 500ms of render latency on 3G in the best case.
The proposed technique to address this is to inline the "critical CSS" needed to style the above the fold content on mobile directly in the head of the HTML, and to load any additional CSS needed to render the below the fold from a cacheable, external stylesheet. The amount of CSS needed to style the above the fold on mobile tends to be small (a few kB) so is a perfect candidate for inlining.

LiveReload 2.3.27 has been released on the App Store!
Here's what's new (or rather, what's fixed) in 2.3.27 compared to 2.3.8:
* updated all compilers and libraries (including CoffeeScript source maps, newer Less, Sass and Compass, ZURB Foundation 4)
* live reloading works in projects that use prefixfree JS library
* Sass imports resolution bugs
* URL overriding bugs
* slowness in certain cases (esp with many changes flowing in)
* output file names ignored by CoffeeScript
* various crashes
Here's a Mac App Store link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/livereload/id482898991
Why is it remarkable? Because I still haven't figured out sandboxing yet. (I'm actually working on it right now, but it's only possible because 10.8 has gained a majority marketshare; more on that below.)

As an iOS app developer, when your users want to access web content, you currently have two options: create your own in-app web browser frame, or send users away from your app to a browser. With Chrome’s OpenInChromeController class with x-callback (http://goo.gl/G5Bst), users can open a web page in Chrome and then return to your app with just one tap.
If you’re interested in including this in your app, head to the Chromium Blog for more details (http://goo.gl/32l0E) or straight to the developer docs (http://goo.gl/G5Bst).

Chrome’s preloader delivers a ~20% speed improvement!
Wait, what’s a preloader? The preload scanner is designed to look ahead in the requested document and discover critical resources (CSS, JavaScript, images), such that they can be dispatched as soon as possible - this helps reduce the overhead of network latency. All modern browsers use this or similar technique to help speed up your browsing.
How do I design my pages to take advantage of the preloader? Simple, specify your critical resources in the document (aka, HTML). The PreloadScanner does not (and cannot) speculatively execute JavaScript, so if you are scheduling resources from JS, then you’re not getting the benefit of the PreloadScanner. This is why declaring your resources in the HTML markup is so important for performance!
Below results are a direct comparison with Chrome prelo... more »

JS1K competition 2013 spring champions!

My favorite is Strange crystals II (http://bit.ly/12bg69B) from Philippe Deschaseaux - the crazy mine cart animation running below (BTW Philippe also has a making of series of blog posts http://bit.ly/10gLI05).
But I also adore the Synth Sphere (http://bit.ly/11bsL0x) from Noah Weninger, which just might be the smallest music synthesizer with real time FFT ever made. You can even create your own music with it.

WBench by is a tool that uses the HTML5 performance timing API to benchmark end user load times for websites.
github.com/desktoppr/wbench
Very nice. Now since it's a command-line utility, you'd probably expect it to use PhantomJS, but au contraire! It uses Chrome via chromedriver (the WebDriver adapter) to get accurate network metrics from Chrome's network stack. And since WBench is based on WebDriver, you can also have it run the numbers with Firefox as well.

So I released defs.js <https://github.com/olov/defs> at Front Trends last week. Defs transpiles ES6 block scoped const and let declarations to beautiful ES3 code using vars. It’s also a pretty decent linter when it comes to variable and scope analysis.
Defs work solely by static analysis and (occasional) variable renaming, and it works really well. It's already in use for production code.
I wrote more about the background for it and how it works at my blog, <http://blog.lassus.se/2013/05/defsjs.html>. Check it out!

New in Chrome DevTools: An exclusive touch cursor while emulating touch events.
While you're emulating touch events, your cursor will now be a small 20px semitransparent circle. This is awesome because:
* It's a clear affordance that you're emulating touch events. Good so you aren't stuck wondering why mousemove events have disappeared.
* You're more aware that touch implies larger click targets, leading to better design choices
Try it in out Canary!

Google Chrome Team is experimenting with opaque canvas in the last chromium build.
And if you're interested in, you can enable "experimental canvas features" flag in chrome://flags and play with it by setting your context with canvas.getContext('2d', { alpha: false });.
Screenshot below shows you that an opaque canvas has a black background whereas the "normal" one is transparent.

A bit ago, +Ilya Grigorik posted about a clever performance technique that works against the browser: plus.google.com/+IlyaGrigorik/posts/S6j45VxNESB
Chrome DevRel started discussing this situation. Ilya laid into reality: "We (Chrome) need to do a better job of actually fixing these problems on the web." And +Paul Lewis confirmed "the improvements should be in the platform and not higher up."
+Seth Ladd then posed the tough question on how this can operate at web-scale:
"""
How can we educate developers on how to best get this feedback into the browsers and spec committees? Saying "file a bug, don't write JS" probably should be "file a bug, join XX mailing list, talk to YY dev advocate, post strawman spec to ZZ wiki, etc" which frankly sounds like a ton of work.

Packt Publishing modus operandi
Some months ago I got relatively spammed by these guys. They were sending emails to whoever they could find with three.js knowledge to see if they were interested in writing a book about it for them. I assume these emails were automated as part of the email said "Your expertise in the subject is impressive and having you as our author would be a pleasure.". Right...
Seems like they found someone and they were now looking for technical reviewers. They asked me again and I told them that I could take a look from time to time.
Now they are trying to put me on a schedule of reviewing a chapter every 4 days, give feedback and fill a questionnaire. In exchange I'll get a copy of the book and another book from their catalogue. Yay...

I mentioned this a little while back, but a refresher is probably worthwhile: `X-Content-Type-Options: nosniff` support is in Chrome 27, which will be hitting stable shortly. Surprisingly, we haven't seen many bug reports about the feature, which is excellent. Those that we have seen focus on raw.github.com, which serves nosniff headers along with all resources. This post is worth reading, both to understand the impact of the feature, and GitHub's rationale in sending the header in the first place.

How not to `rm` yourself
The `rm` command is inherently dangerous. Here are some easy steps to prevent yourself from you:
1. Use `trash` instead of `rm`: `brew install trash`
It will move stuff to the trash instead of permanently deleting it.
(OS X only, but similar available for Linux: https://github.com/andreafrancia/trash-cli)
Though others still might use `rm` in scripts. There are some things you can do to help prevent that:
2. Alias `rm` to its interactive mode, which will force you to step through what it's trying to delete: `alias rm=rm -i`
3. Put `unsetopt RM_STAR_SILENT` in your .zshrc*
This will ask you before executing `rm` with a star `rm folder/*`.
4. Put `setopt RM_STAR_WAIT` in your .zshrc*
This will make it wait 10 seconds until executing `rm` with a star `rm folder/*`.
5. Download `c... more »

It was sunny this morning as I walked to work. Winter never seems to end in Boston, it just drags its cold, wet feet through as many months as possible. Today, though, it was just warm enough that it almost felt like spring. I began to fantasize about what it would be like to walk outside without a coat.
As always, my path took me past a strip of hotels that crouch near the Kendall T station and which usually serve a gray-coated clientele of visiting academics, biotech scientists, and serious-looking business-people hurrying into cabs on the way to something important. Usually these people are just annoying roadblocks that I have to avoid on my way to work, but this morning the people in my way weren't the usual convention-going crowd. They were a family.
