I was mostly coding in C, tuning FORTRAN, and when I needed to do a lot of data analysis of benchmark results used the S-PLUS statistics language, that is the predecessor to R. Paul Reithmuller was yet another imported Australian engineer who did amazing work.

Responsive Web Design (RWD) is now a well established technique yet it’s adoption is still surprisingly low.

Component-based design, enabled and enforced by modern JavaScript frameworks, does not only provide great developer experiences and project ergonomics when used in a smart way, but it can also offer advantages for accessibility.

In my conversations with designers and developers who don’t optimize, a few of the same myths are constantly brought up. High performance and beautiful design are mutually exclusive. For CSS and Javascript, run your code through a minimization tool like YUI Compressor or JSMin , both of which can be found online.

It is not that most web design agencies are ignorant of other marketing approaches or that any of them are inherently bad. On the contrary, in the second part of his two-part series on getting web design clients , Stephen Roe breaks down the opportunities of these approaches. However, in practice, the results can be underwhelming.

While this is conceptually possible (QUIC does exactly that), things were initially not designed like this, because we need to be able to use TCP with and without TLS on top. Luckily, QUIC was designed with TLS in mind from the start, and as such does combine both the transport and cryptographic handshakes in a single mechanism.
