A simple utility to execute a callback when a webfont loads.  Demo

This uses the CSS Font Loading Module when available (currently in Chrome 35+ and Opera 22+). When that isn’t available, it uses a very similar approach to the one used in the TypeKit Web Font Loader (which is currently 7.1KB GZIP).

Basically, it creates an element with a font stack including the web font and a default serif/sans-serif typeface. It then uses a test string and measures the dimensions of the element at a certain interval. When the dimensions are different than the default fallback fonts, the font is considered to have loaded successfully.

If you’d like a full polyfill for the CSS Font Loading Module, follow along with Bram Stein’s Font Loader. I believe the specification has changed since he launched this polyfill, but he’s working on an updated version. 

A 2016 study found that the economic impact of Daylight Saving , due to increased heart attacks, workplace accidents and cyberloafing (slacking off at work!) cost the US economy $434 million each year, there are a great many others that present similar evidence.

In 2019 the European Union voted to abolish daylight saving in 2021, similarly the “Sunshine Protection Act of 2021” is gaining traction in the US. Over the next decade I feel quite sure that most of the globe will reject daylight saving entirely. 

Build Accelerator, BuildXL for short, is a build engine originally developed for large internal teams at Microsoft, and owned by the Tools for Software Engineers team, part of the Microsoft One Engineering System internal engineering group. Internally at Microsoft, BuildXL runs 30,000+ builds per day on monorepo codebases up to a half-terabyte in size with a half-million process executions per build, using distribution to thousands of datacenter machines and petabytes of source code, package, and build output caching. Thousands of developers use BuildXL on their desktops for faster builds even on mega-sized codebases. 

Earlier this week, Microsoft published the roadmap for .NET Core 2.1, ASP.NET Core 2.1 and EF Core 2.1, expected to be out in the first quarter of 2018. The team also talked about several new features with this new release. This release is more of a feedback-oriented release based on .NET Core 2.0 release. The.NET Core 2.0 is a huge success and already more than half a million developers are now using .NET Core 2.0. All thanks to .NET Standard 2.0 release . In this post find out about the new features of .NET Core 2.1.
