b'Wow, can it really be the 100th episode already? Almost 2 years of weekly\\nupdates and discussions on web development \\u2013 and we\\u2019re still here.\\xa0And so no one\\nless than Paul Irish joined Hans, Kahlil, Rodney and Schepp. While our podcast\\nis a German thing, we\\u2019re thrilled how things turned out with recording an\\nEnglish episode over the wire. Thank you Paul!\\n\\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\\n\\nPlease take a second and tell us how you feel: Do you want more English\\nrevisions of Workingdraft, featuring international Guests?\\n\\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\\n\\n\\n[00:00:45] NEWS\\n\\nCHROME DEVTOOLS:\\xa0A SNEAK PEEK AT CSS MEDIA TYPE EMULATION\\n\\nAddy Osmani shows us how Chrome Dev Tool (Canary, at the moment) allows you to\\nspecify the media type (screen, projector, handheld, print, \\u2026) used for CSS.\\n\\nFIREBUG 1.11 IS OUT\\n\\nA new version Firebug has been released, sporting a number of interesting\\nfeatures. Performance Timing Visualization, copy \\u2019n\\u2018 paste HTML chunks and\\nobserving postMessage to name a few.\\n\\n\\nSCHAUNOTIZEN (AKA THE SHOWNOTES)\\n\\n[00:03:40] BOUNTYSOURCE\\n\\nHave an issue but neither you nor the maintainers of the project can (or want\\nto) resolve? Set a bounty for it! BountySource let\\u2019s you define an amount (say\\n15$) up for grabs to anyone willing to solve your issue with an open source\\nproject. All you need to participate is a GitHub account and either PayPal or\\nGoogle Wallet. Finally something that might work smoothly in Europe as well.\\nNote that BountySource aims for the small things, backing full blown projects is\\n(currently) better handled by pledgie et al.\\n\\n[00:10:53] 5 APIS TO CHANGE THE WORLD\\n\\nWe mostly agree with Alex on which APIs will have the highest impact next year.\\nWeb Components are going to be the thing, as they allow modularization,\\ntemplating and more. They will not enhance how we work, they will (evenutally)\\nchange the way we create web apps. Flexbox (and the other layouting schemes) are\\nmissing from the list. We\\u2019re still eagerly awaiting their availability. The\\nAutocomplete API (spec in development) is something that will benefit users more\\nthan developers. That and Mozilla\\u2019s Persona will hopefully put an end to all\\nthat identification and recurring data input mess that has been our internet.\\n\\n[00:28:12] CSS PERFORMANCE DEBUGGING\\n\\nGithub\\u2019s CSS Performance made us reflect on tools and approaches we have to find\\nrendering bottlenecks. Addy has written an article about Performance\\nOptimization With Timeline Profiles.\\n\\n[00:38:21] DISPLAY: NONE; | LAURA KALBAG\\n\\nThe gist of the story: \\xbbYou needn\\u2019t be the first, you\\u2019ll just help if you\\u2019re the\\nfirst that somebody finds.\\xab Do not try to impress anyone. Do not assume\\neverybody knows what you know. Simply publish what you learn. Instead of\\nexplaining things to your friends in closed channels, write a (short) blog about\\nit. Found something new (to you)? Blog about it. Keep the knowledge flowing!\\n\\n\\n[00:45:18] KEINE SCHAUNOTIZEN (AKA THE LINKS)\\n\\nEMBRACING TOUCH (OPEN IN CHROME)\\n\\nInstant Parallax on touch devices (ab)using CSS3 Transforms.\\n\\nJQUERY UNCOMMENT\\n\\nUncomment is a handy little plugin that allows you to serve HTML-comments and\\nonly have them parsed and processed when needed.\\n\\nCRAWLY \\u2013 ALEXA 1X SEARCH ENGINE\\n\\nCrawly allows you to perform regular expression matches against the sources of\\nthe Alexa 1x websites.\\n\\nFOCAL POINT: INTELLIGENT CROPPING OF RESPONSIVE IMAGES\\n\\nDenote the focal point (interesting-content-center) of an image using CSS,\\nallowing intelligent cropping on responsive sites\\n\\nFULL FRONTAL 2012 VIDEOS\\n\\nRemy has finally uploaded all the talks of this year\\u2019s Full Frontal Conference.\\nPaul is keeping a list on delicious\\n\\nCALLBACKS CONSIDERED A CODE SMELL\\n\\nNice recap of the various approaches to make asynchronous code maintainable.\\n\\nJSTAT\\n\\nJavascript statistics library \\u2013 do you know the 4th qantile or what a median\\nreally is?
