Where Are The World's Best Open Device Labs?
Every developer knows that just because a website looks like and does what it's meant to on the latest iPhone, doesn't mean it will work across every mobile device. In this article, we'll highlight some of the many open device labs out there - fantastic and helpful initiatives by the community that deserves support and attention.
Open device labs (ODLs) are a response to the myriad of operating systems, browsers and devices that litter our technical landscape. They offer developers a (usually) free space to go to test their web systems, websites and apps on a range of software and hardware. This premise forms the core of the OpenDeviceLab.com initiative, which is a community movement to help people locate the right ODL for the job and to drum up further support for these testing centers.

Taking Pattern Libraries To The Next Level
No thorough conversation about the front end today can end without mention of pattern libraries. Sometimes a pattern library appears in the form of a living style guide, or as a design system, or as the outcome of an atomic design process, or as an all-knowing user interface framework. In all of these cases, designers and developers seek the right strategy to approach the complexity of the web with a modular, components-based approach.
However, finding the right way to architect a lasting pattern library and to integrate it into an existing workflow seems to be a challenging task and one that most design and development teams eventually give up on. In this article, I'd love to highlight some practical techniques and strategies to establish a lasting pattern library that will be actively and consistently used by the entire team. These tips might help you get on the right track when you set out to build your next style guide, assets library or design language.

The United States of America has about two% of the world's population, but it has 25% of the planet's prison population, most of them currently being nonviolent drug offenders. Over 50% of these getting marijuana charges.

And the US taxpayer has been footing the bill. In accordance to drugpolicy.org the US War on Medication expense the American taxpayer in excess of $51 billion annually. As it presently previously expenses over $30,000 to imprison one particular person for 1 yr.
If the war on medication was operating, it should make drugs a lot more scarce, consequently driving charges up. In actuality, drug prices have stayed about the exact same above the previous twenty years, displaying the War on Drugs has had virtually no result on the black market place of unlawful medication. The only point the War on Medication has been productive at is arresting and imprisoning our citizens at an alarming price. The one particular confident way to wipe out an unlawful black marketplace is to legalize the very factor that has been manufactured unlawful. In this way particular states are already catching on and adding millions and millions to their tax revenues every single yr. Whilst their citizens are enjoying the correct which means of freedom.

Our Jamestown settlers actually brought marijuana to our shores way back in 1611 when they established the very first everlasting English settlement here. By the 1890's it was turning up in a variety of drugs and was freely sold in pharmacies. Then in the 1920's, Mexican immigrants introduced us to its recreational use, and the rest, as they say, is history.
Fast forward to 2016, and:
Medical marijuana is legal in 24 states and D.C., with Pennsylvania the most current to indicator on.
Legalization of health care marijuana is presently pending in Florida, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

So now it's Pennsylvania's turn at the trough. Without a doubt, although our law is brand new, marijuana entrepreneurs are currently lining up. Says Doug Porter of the Cannabis Occupation Institute, "This is a prime time to start a marijuana enterprise." Certainly, individuals in the know actually count on some 245,000 individuals to sign on correct away and revenue to speedily prime $100 million.

A Comprehensive Guide to Font Loading Strategies
Squee!
The post we've been waiting for from Zach Leatherman. This will be the go-to reference when making tech and UX choices on font loading.
Zach compares 11 current (and future) techniques for loading web fonts, all with live demos. He clearly lists the PRO's and CON's for each without making it a novel. Most valuably, he provides a VERDICT on each, which let's you know if the technique is up-to-par or not.
A winner is declared, but it's fairly tricky to implement. It requires a "very small subset Roman web font" as a data URL loaded in the head, cached with sessionStorage, and observed for and loaded in stages via class names. The "baseline standard" is "FOUT with a Class" (eliminates the dangerous FOIT), and there are options in there if you really dislike FOUT.
A future-winner is also declared.
