Lightning-Fast Web Performance: an online lecture series from Scott Jehl
Scott is brilliant, therefore by the transitive property, his course on web performance must also be brilliant.

Tom’s videos are so good! Did you see his excellent in-depth piece on copyright?
This one is all about APIs and the golden age of Web 2.0 when we were free to create mashups.
It pairs nicely with a piece by another Tom from a couple of years back on the joy of Twitterbots.
Sight and Sound: The Cinema of Walter Murch on Vimeo
I enjoyed this documentary on legendary sound designer and editor Walter Murch. Kinda makes me want to rewatch The Conversation and The Godfather.

Here’s a BBC adaption of that J.G. Ballard short story I recorded. It certainly feels like a story for our time.
What Does `playsinline` Mean in Web Video? | CSS-Tricks
I have to admit, I don’t think I even knew of the existence of the playsinline attribute on the video element. Here, Chris runs through all the attributes you can put in there.

You know that this online course from Scott is going to be excellent—get in there!
28c3: The Science of Insecurity - YouTube
I understand less than half of this great talk by Meredith L. Patterson, but it ticks all my boxes: Leibniz, Turing, Borges, and Postel’s Law.

Saron Yitbarek and Jeremy Keith - Command Line Heroes Live Podcast - View Source 2019 - YouTube
Here’s the live podcast recording I was on at the View Source conference in Amsterdam a while back, all about the history of JavaScript.
My contribution starts about ten minutes in. I really, really enjoyed our closing chat around the 25 minute mark.
It was such a pleasure and an honour to watch Saron at work—she did an amazing job!
The Layers Of The Web - Jeremy Keith on Vimeo
Thanks to the quick work of Marc and his team, the talk I gave at Beyond Tellerrand on Thursday was online within hours!
I’m really pleased with how this turned out. I wasn’t sure if anybody was going to be interested in the deep dive into history that I took for the first 15 or 20 minutes, but lots of people told me that they really enjoyed that part, so that makes me happy.

Cassie’s excellent talk on SVG animation is well worth your time.

Oh, and he really did create MySpaceBook for the talk.

This is quite a beautiful homage to Kubrick’s masterpiece.

The Ugly Truth about Design Systems
The video of a talk in which Mark discusses pace layers, dogs, and design systems. He concludes:
- Current design systems thinking limits free, playful expression.
- Design systems uncover organisational disfunction.
- Continual design improvement and delivery is a lie.
- Component-focussed design is siloed thinking.
It’s true many design systems are the blueprints for manufacturing and large scale application. But in almost every instance I can think of, once you move from design to manufacturing the horse has bolted. It’s very difficult to move back into design because the results of the system are in the wild. The more strict the system, the less able you are to change it. That’s why broad principles, just enough governance, and directional examples are far superior to locked-down cookie cutters.

Redux: Lazy loading youtube embeds
Remy has an excellent improvement on that article I linked to yesterday on using srcdoc with iframes. Rather than using srcdoc instead of src, you can use srcdoc as well as src. That way you can support older browsers too!
Lazy load embedded YouTube videos - DEV Community 👩💻👨💻
This is a clever use of the srcdoc attribute on iframes.
