GV could never make calls. It is primarily a call forwarding service (with tacked on free SMS and now MMS) which allows you to make calls to numbers in other states with no additional cost and make international calls for a low rate. You still need to go through your phone service; as far as your service is aware, these calls are going to a local number (the area code of your google voice number).
If you add a random query string to the end of the url you'll get the latest signature count. You will have to change it each time you want to see the current count.
The px unit in css is a bit misleading, the measurement doesn't always correspond to the size of the device pixels. From the spec[1]:
"For a CSS device, these dimensions are either anchored by relating the physical units to their physical measurements, or by relating the pixel unit to the reference pixel. For print media and similar high-resolution devices, the anchor unit should be one of the standard physical units (inches, centimeters, etc). For lower-resolution devices, and devices with unusual viewing distances, it is recommended instead that the anchor unit be the pixel unit. For such devices it is recommended that the pixel unit refer to the whole number of device pixels that best approximates the reference pixel."
There has been talks of directwrite coming to Chrome for nearly a year now. We have to suffer the poorly hinted fonts looking terrible for a while longer.
You are right, this can be useful during initial stages of the design process. Counterproductive was a poor choice of word, let me better elaborate my concern. I assume the use for this typeface is to present wireframes to the client, free of "distracting lorem ipsum". I think showing clients any web design that lacks a typographical direction is an omission of the majority of the design in most all scenarios [1] and not fit as a representation for the future of that design. My personal design philosophy for the web is to accommodate the other aspects of the design to the typography, not to fit the typography secondary to the balance created by the preexisting design.
- Omitting the variable statements in non-strict mode creates global (function scoped) variables
- The comma operator evaluates its operands left to right and returns the rightmost operand, the result of which is irrelevant in this case
- The arrow function allows us to omit parenthesis around the function parameters, so any single character variable name works (in this case _)
- The arrow function syntax also allows us to omit the curly braces, and will automatically return the body of the function.
- Automatic Semicolon Injection allows us to omit the trailing ;
