The need for urgent collective action to keep people safe online: Lessons from last week’s cyberattack - Microsoft on the IssuesWe should take from this recent attack a renewed determination for more urgent collective action. We need the tech sector, customers, and governments to work together to protect against cybersecurity attacks. More action is needed, and it’s needed now. In this sense, the WannaCrypt attack is a wake-up call for all of us. We recognize our responsibility to help answer this call, and Microsoft is committed to doing its part.tagged: securityransomwarecyberattack15-05-2017

#133: Figuring Out Responsive Images | CSS-TricksI'm probably a bit rare in that I rather enjoyed trying to keep up on the responsive images thing. It's an interesting problem that bred lots of interesting solutions. The whole thing is starting to wrap up now though, now that the official solutions are:and friends with srcset and sizes The problem is: I don't really get it. I thought the original picturefill was pretty simple. List a bunch of sources with media queries. First one to match, that's the one that gets used. That made sense to me. This new stuff is a bit different. Solvable problem! Just like everything else, I need to figure it out.tagged: responsiveimagesperf14-05-2017

Service Workers: Dynamic Responsive Images using WebP Images | Dean HumeImages play an important role on the web today. Imagine a world without images on our web pages! High quality images can really make a website stand out, but unfortunately they come with a price to pay. Due to their large file sizes, they are bulky to download and result in slow page load times. If I'm a user with a low bandwidth connection, it can be a pretty poor experience.tagged: webpperfresponsiveofflineservice-workers14-05-2017

Five Factor Testing - Custom Web & Mobile Development Company | DevMyndWhen I took my first real dev job in the late 90s, it was not common for developers to write their own automated tests. Instead, large companies depended on teams of testers, who tested manually, or were experts in complex (and expensive) automation software. Small companies were more likely to depend on code review, months of “integration” after the “development,”…or most commonly: pure hope.tagged: testinge2e12-05-2017
