#36–52nd week of 2016

10 things worth sharing each week.

Hi there,

I have several days off work this week. Usually I need to teach classes during weekend. The class center closes during holiday means I finally have some weekends off.

The Macau Eiffel Tower.

Here are the 10 things worth reading this week.

1. Service Workers do not a Progressive Web App make.
2. The (Not So) Secret Powers Of The Mobile Browser.
3. GPU Animation: Doing It Right.
4. Alternatives to Placeholder Text.
5. Intro to the 8-Point Grid System.
6. About the new Media Lab website.
7. GitHub is Doing Much Better Than Bloomberg Thinks — Here is Why.
8. A few tips to avoid the never ending comment thread.
9. An illustator showing what he is trying to do.
10. Touch Piano is a tiny funny piano on my new touch bar MacBook Pro.
