Using `setTimeout` to speed up `window.onload`

A few days ago, Martín Borthiry contacted me with a question. He had been using the optimized asynchronous Google Analytics snippet for a while, and noticed an additional speed gain when wrapping it inside a setTimeout() with a delay of 0 milliseconds. His tests made it pretty clear that this technique was indeed slightly faster, but Martín had no clue why.

It's all too easy to get sucked into a newsletter situation. Some of them are good, many of them are all kinds of blight. Here, Stangl goes deeper into the unsubcribe dilemma.

My inbox, like everyone else's, is brimming with newsletters, offers, coupons, and other nonsense.

When it comes to UX, before we jump on the big data bandwagon, we need to challenge its predominance. UX professionals cannot create an experience for figures in a database or tracking systems, and designers must keep focusing on real people rather than on numbers. Online experiences must remain geared toward real users and their interests, goals, and desires.

What About the Numbers?
