An Interesting Look At the Performance of JavaScript On Mobile Devices

Posted by timothy on from the down-in-the-weeds dept.

First time accepted submitter faffod writes "Coming from a background of console development, where memory management is a daily concern, I found it interesting that there was any doubt that memory management on a constrained system, like a mobile device, would be a concern. Drew Crawford took the time to document his thoughts, and though there is room for some bikesheding, overall it is spot on. Plus it taught me what bikeshedding means."

    it seems like there could be a pretty simple automated dupe-checker that flags it and tells the editors

    It's called the "visited link color" function. Or perhaps not even the editors read the featured article.
