Our research students and staff have been enjoying working in this environment. I've enjoyed watching the labs develop and I'm looking forward to another day of experiments and training with the group tomorrow.

@MrBuckwheats @TrevorTBDM Funny. I was actually tapping the drum loop out on the machinedrum the other day. Long overdue!

"The orgs that publish crisis journalism have struggled to make it work financially, even if they’re nonprofits. The #NewHumanitarian hopes to buck that trend." @NiemanLab on the rise of @newhumanitarian (formerly IRIN News) and its drive for greater reach

Only 2-3 web servers support resource prioritisation properly (Google’s own servers aren’t one of them) @patmeenan @LDNWebPerf #perfmatters

Are your images being visible more important than your time to interactive? @patmeenan @LDNWebPerf #perfmatters

Don’t try this at home - you *could* use a video tag to get AV1 compression in your browser (2x smaller than webp), but you probably shouldn’t @kornelski @LDNWebPerf #perfmatters

For almost every JPEG, the first 15% of the file is roughly where the first progressive layer is stored. Just send this much to get something visual on screen! @kornelski @LDNWebPerf #perfmatters

[The New Humanitarian @newhumanitarian]

IRIN Director @HebaJournalist went to this year’s UN General Assembly expecting more hand-wringing and despair in the face of growing crises and threats to multilateralism. To her surprise, she left with a good dose of hope. Here's why.

Awesome opportunity at not for profit @irinnews for a Snr Web Developer. The role is part time, remote and offers *tons* of autonomy. You'll work with an award winning team who influence how industry, governments and charities address humanitarian issues https://t.co/s3rGPQjvOS

@HenriHelvetica @seanom @dougsillars @firefox I missed the chrome method completely. Always assumed it could do it but never dug into it as I was fine using FF. Cheers!!

[rish @droidarea]

@HenriHelvetica @dougsillars FWIW my go to for entire page grabs is @firefox’s built in screengrab tool. It’s worked better for me than any extension in chrome when sites are very long. I think there is a limit to how tall the image can be so maybe it would have trouble with really heavy website reports :)

@samsm Branding department must have a pretty big egggo to get away with that.
