<style>
.js #w {display:none; }
.no-js #w {width:auto; width:calc( 1px - 1px ); overflow:hidden; }
</style>
<div id="w">I resent you</div>

A one word search on Flickr has produced a large bucket of crazy. That word: LIES.

It’s both weird and convenient this works.

(Repost) After comments about WordPress’s emoji inline script, I wrote up why performance can be counter-intuitive. https://peterwilson.cc/intuition-is-crap/

Faux mouse events, making people swear since June 29, 2007.

I can never tell doctored Bill O’Reilly quotes from real ones.

No, that’s not it. I assume they’re doctored and they never, ever are.

WordPress core committers, what type of Whisky do you like?

I’m looking forward speaking about front-end performance at WordCamp Brisbane in May.

This is pointless @instagram, loading videos slowly still uses my data cap.

There are more poeple with podcasts than without podcasts.

Mashable’s review of the Apple watch is over 50 Mb & hundreds of requests.

Someone’s not paying attention.

Everyone is correct, the John Oliver interview with Edward Snowden is superb. Funny & excellent journalism.
