The problem is that plastic recycling in general just doesn't work that well. If you want to make any sort of difference then reducing the amount of plastic you use & throw away is essential.

I can't find it in the NYT article so maybe it was in the original paper, but I'm pretty sure the 7-minute workout was always meant to be repeated three times (although maybe not directly after another).

But even then you're left with compressed text. If you're concerned about the amount of data you're sending on the bit level, then you're throwin all that out the second you start pumping out JSON.

For me on Chrome, there seems to be some broken loop somewhere. It continually requests and then cancels those requests to certain sprite images. It still downloads at least part of them though, so you're getting maybe ~100kb/sec continually downloading for as long as you're on that site.

The distribution is a result of the low number of ratings. Look at the number of ratings for each episode. For all those early 7.3-7.4 episodes it's about 600 ratings, the higher rated episodes have more ratings. Then from about season 12 there's a drop in number of ratings to about 300-400 for most episodes.
Compare this to the Game of Thrones ratings[1], where each episode has about 3000 ratings.
Re:WTF, HTML and CSS?

I haven't run into that limitation yet, but I've had a client site which suddenly had started looking broken in IE. It turned out that it had exceeded the 31 stylesheets/style tag limit. This was a site where the CMS theme/template set a few styles, but then was packed with extra widgets loading up to 10 styles each.
The solution was of course to simply join the CSS files where possible. But it definitely was a bit of a WTF moment.

Re:Brick. Webfonts that look good
on Sunday March 16, 2014 @07:10AM (#7409006)
Speaking of the cache and download sizes, when I reload the Google specimen the font files return a 304 (not modified) status while the Brick ones return a 200 code and have me download the files all over each time.
So for me it's 300k each time the page loads (Brick) vs 92k for the first page load and ~0 each time after that (Google).
Is this just me?

Why is it so hard to provide a nice sample sheet for fonts? Just a paragraph (or just a sentence for display fonts) in the various weights would be a huge step forward in most cases.
Just compare the samples of Hallo Sans (the first font in this list): https://www.behance.net/gallery/Hallo-Sans-Free-typeface/132...

The article's title is "Redesign: From PHP/MySQL to Node/MongoDB Stack". And isn't about going from PHP/MySQL to Node/MongoDB at all. Instead it's mostly about putting together a one page app sort of thing, rather than putting everything together server side.
