This Week I Learned - Week #98
This Week I Learned:
* Microsoft's Power BI cloud service provides a free option for non technical business users to build dashboards & perform natural language querying against a variety of datasets. Its preview is currently only available to users in the United States.
* Batarang is a WebInspector Extension for Chrome which integrates with Chrome developer tools and provides interesting interesting insights into your AngularJS application.
* Viewport units (vh, vw, vmin, vmax) are supported in most modern browsers. They can used for sizing things relative to the viewport size, a brilliant proposition for responsive design.
* If you've got example.com/something AND www.example.com/something both serving up the same content, consider "canonicalizing" your URLs. You can do this with rel="canonical" in your META tags, but that only hides the problems and makes the Googlebot happy. Instead, why not PICK ONE and serve a 301 redirect to the other?
* Google accounts for three-quarters of the world’s web searches. About 90 percent of Google’s revenue is from ads, most of that on its search engine. It generated $14.4 billion in profits in 2014. In 2014, Google sold about $45 billion in search ads, a slice of the $550 billion global advertising market - NY Times
* A BBC documentary series classifies overweight people into 3 categories and suggests a personalized diet plan according to their category. It recommends that Feasters eat a high protein, low GI food ( carbs like beans, cereals that are slowly released rather than rice, bread), Constant Cravers undergo intermittent fasting (fasting causes ketones in urine indicating that fat is burnt) and Emotional Eaters seek group support for encouragement to overcome stress
* The Ramappa Temple near Warangal is named after its sculptor. It is a medieval temple where Shiva is worshipped.
