I'm currently working on a project and we've noticed on a number of machines that when leaving the page open for a few minutes, Chrome (on OSX, haven't tried on other OS flavours) will eventually drop the google fonts we've chosen;
and revert to what appears to be Times.
This has been much more prevalent in the last day or two since the release of Chrome v32, and has happened on other sites with no relation to the site we're building.
Hovering over any instances of affected text will make Chrome update the font to its correct typeface again, and it will typically correct all instances at that time.
I'm wondering if anyone else has come across this problem before, and if there is a known work around to stop this from happening?

This is a confirmed bug (#236298) with Google Chrome, rather than it being an issue with your code.

When a website has been properly designed to comply with WCAG AA, is it really useful to also provide an accessibility toolbar for bigger text, high contrast, dyslexic font etc?
Because most of these features can be managed by the OS or browser settings/extensions. I'm thinking that users who really need them may already have them set up.
Thanks
Yes it is still useful, provided it is well designed.
Someone could be viewing your site in a library and not on their own computer so the font size isn't big enough.
Or maybe they are in a real bright environment and struggling to see on their phone, high contrast could be useful temporarily.
The scenarios are endless where this becomes useful.
But I think the key thing that we as developers tend to forget is that a lot of people are not computer literate.
Just because you know how to enable high contrast mode or increase the font size, doesn't mean everyone does.
As accessibility is all about making sites as easy to use as possible, for as many people as possible, I would say that a toolbar to adjust settings on the sites is a great idea!
Just make sure you test it well and that it doesn't interfere with assistive tech (or is easy to disable).

I'm trying to change the language from French to English but I don't see what I need! Who can tell me how? Really need a link. Please help me, thanks!

You need to change your google account settings from French to English.
If you don't want to change it just add URL parameter as ?hl=en https://console.firebase.google.com/?hl=en
To change the default language you can go to this page:
https://myaccount.google.com/language
and change your default language for the Google Related Apps and services.
After having struggled with this for some time, and also after following Google's solution to clear cookies, cache, and everything else (https://firebase.google.com/support/faq/), DOCS still showed in a different language for me (only docs, not console or anything else).
What I found out is that there's a drop down menu at the bottom of the docs page (right next to Terms and Privacy) where the wrong language would be set to, so I just changed that to English and it seems to be working for now without resetting.
For me, even if I removed all languages except english and signed out and in again, console was still in Spanish, so just adding &hl=en to url helped https://console.firebase.google.com/?pli=1&hl=en

I have noticed that when I launch the Xcode 8 iPhone simulator that actions that I make when using the simulator run incredibly slow, for example, when I maneuver to the home screen by clicking Hardware>Home or Shift+cmd+H it runs fine but when I open an application the borders make a strange animation, and when I tap a button on an application, the transitions take a long time. Sorry or such long question, but any help will be greatly appreciated
Try This.. Unselect the slow animations in simulator debug

Is there a way to specify how many projects are visible in the top-right pane in Rstudio? Default option is 10, however I would like to change this to a higher number.
Edit: Screen added.
Can't be (easily) done.
RStudio seems to have a hard limit of 15, and there's a comment in the code about setting the max visible according to the screen size, and that 15 is up to 10 local projects and 5 shared projects:
https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/blob/cef7e679b05d9e92003a30847757f57fd30ee94c/src/gwt/src/org/rstudio/studio/client/application/ui/ProjectPopupMenu.java#L209

So if you want more, you'll have to file an enhancement request with RStudio (or edit the Java code and build it yourself...)

Terrible fonts on WinXP with ClearType off - Chrome only [closed]

There is a big problem in the following case:
User has Windows XP, ClearType turned off, Google Chrome and website is using Google Web Fonts.
Fonts look very "jerky" in this case and only in Chrome.
css "-webkit-font-smoothing" won't do any good.
Also, I noticed that large fonts are not so terrible. You can see in the pic big fonts and they look okay.
Is there a solution for a user with these settings to have nice looking fonts?
With ClearType turned off there is really no hope. Even native system fonts look bad with ClearType off.
I believe IE8 and above automatically override the OS settings on XP and turn ClearType on, but I don't think there's a way for a non IE browser to do that.
If you care about the relatively small percentage of visitors who are in this category you'll need to spend many hours choosing and testing a better font.
My advice is to not worry about it - Those users will be quite accustomed to seeing horrible fonts all over the web because of their ignorance of or inability to change system settings.
