Good Karma

General web

TMI [github] is a JavaScript library built to help you work out whether your site is too weighty, by comparing your page to the HTTPArchive.
Karma Runner [github] is a JavaScript task runner built by the Angular team.
This is a great guide to best practices for refactoring your PHP code [phpbuilder].
And here's a quick little guide/collection of tools to help with changing your OS X Yosemite system font to Source Sans [github], because that’s something people apparently want to do.

iPsum

Design

This is the most well-designed and revolutionary dummy text available, incorporating features most other dummy text generators have had for years, but with slicker marketing and execution: IntroducingApple Ipsum [appleipsum].
Here’s a great history of SVG [radar.oreilly].
Apparently Ember.js is great for designers [robots.thoughtbot].
Want some good design advice that doesn’t mince words? Visit good f***ing design advice [goodf***ingdesignadvice]. (Inherently sweary link.) (Sidenote: do you care about swears in your email?)

Cloud Nine

SitePoint

First up, here’s the latest browser stats for this month. The figures show Internet Explorer use has dropped below 20 per cent, a far cry from the glory days of old.
Here’s a really great guide (seriously, it’s excellent) to setting up a continuous deployment environment with Ninefold.
Ruby newbies (“Nubys”?), here’s a complete guide to understanding the Ruby ecosystem.

Tubular Yells

News/business

The New York Times has a disturbing article on the shady online market for personal data [nytimes]. Add us to the list of people who are very much against being added to secret lists of people.
There’s a fun new family of Mac OS X and iOS malware out in the wild, meaning Apple devices aren’t as safe as they once touted [arstechnica].
Amazon has a new tubular device it wants you to welcome into your home [arstechnica]. It is constantly connected to the cloud, will always listen to you, and will answer spoken questions or perform actions in response to commands. It is not a terrifying, sinister, menacing black tube. Not at all. Don’t miss the introductory video with a manic, tech-obsessed dad and his precocious child who just wants to listen to “rock music”.

Cheap Skate

Off-topic

Here’s a pretty great list of Christmas gifts to inspire you [toolsandtoys], if Christmas is a thing you do. If it is not, it still works as a list of products that exist that you might like.
Not on that list, but very desirable, is this electric skateboard [techcrunch]. Hint, hint.
Finally, this is a really interesting and immersive article presenting a Microsoft-led project to give people with sight loss their independence back [news.microsoft]. Headphones are recommended for that one, as it gives you some vague idea of what they're building.
