Scrolling down on web pages in the 90s made of tiny repeating textures and watching the renderer struggle to keep up with painting has instilled a deep fear of using extremely small images in tiling. What an icky feeling to find out your de

This doesn't sound bad at all if you can use a laptop, which the rules say she can. I strive for functionality parity between my phone and laptop, so anything I need to do or data I can access is reachable from both.

Actually a point of pride for me that I've never attempted to put more than a single ad, never allowed pop-unders, fly-outs, etc., and don't bother or block ad-blockers.

The first link is available by clicking Wide in the top right on Ptable. The second is available by clicking the Orbitals tab on Ptable.

This brings me a lot of joy. Despite it being poorly-organized function soup, I hope being able to view a framework-free source was valuable to you. I learned most of what I knew from viewing source way back in the mid-nineties and that&#x2

Be sure to try out Ptable's other tabs. One allows visualizing trends in 20 properties, another does the same for 4000 isotopes, and the final allows mixing of elements to discover 40,000 compounds.

I'm currently rebuilding this from the ground up mostly to replace my handmade animations with CSS transitions. Both the old and new were built with no JS frameworks or libraries and the one you're looking at does well in IE6, to

This article should really be deleted. It's giving crackpots advice for camouflaging their crackpottery, forcing serious mathematicians to waste more of their time determining its legitimacy.

One of the only OLED laptops I'm aware of, the Lenovo X1 Yoga Gen 2, has consistent, widespread problems with flicker. It seems that every display needs replacement every year or so due to flicker at either high or low brightness. I&#x

I've long held an unsupported belief that life anywhere in any form would "converge" upon only a few interesting things left to do after having mastered rearranging atoms and forces in any configuration they desire. Not only

I looked at some other "tips" in the folder and found this: http://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~gdguo/driving/RoadMarkings.htm which suggests it's OK to turn into any lane, near or far. That's not accept

This problem has me considering that TOTP/2FA is inherently less secure than password only. If you're using a password manager and that site has a unique password, you're almost certainly secure as long as the login process h

Find an ACTEC estate planner who will help you with putting the money in a revocable trust, depending on your state, which may shield it from estate tax for generations to come. So long as you're the only trustee, it's like you ho

It's a very difficult process to turn on and isn't something that happens automatically. You must flip the bit using the SSD manufacturer's tool, reinstall Windows, and then enable BitLocker. Even then, it only works with a h

Regardless of whether this analysis is correct or incorrect, I applaud you for thinking about the bigger picture and I rebuke anyone who criticizes you for going "off-topic" or argues this kind of thoughtful analysis of proximate

That's a neat soundbite, but it's committees, planning, arguing, and meetings that got us the protocols underpinning an open internet that are holding up decades later. Not to discount his work, but wouldn't it be great if he

This is a great point and it equally applies to housing. Not just which neighborhood you live in, but whether you own a house at all. Spend a quarter million dollars minimum and get locked into a mortgage for decades for what actual improve

This isn't what makes investing in other gTLDs a danger. It's that some are offering registration for pennies, causing them to be almost entirely populated by "bad" domains. For example, .fun is 80% spammy domains, creat

We've had a few thousand nukes, many secured with the password 0000, lying around for a few decades now in a dozen countries, and that hasn't materialized. For some reason, we seem to be much better at imagining ridiculous scenari

The Demo link at the top of ptable.com is still powered by Kera's first generation demo software. It's a shame to lose it, but it seems their target demographic was more sales-oriented sites that would find high monetary value in people con

That's what I've been saying for years, until I was dragged into the Apple store by a friend and, to kill time, tried my web app on an iPad. It worked pretty well. An intrigued 10-year-old or so girl across the aisle asked, "What app is tha

This story is popular for the same reason as Dunning–Kruger. People cite D-K because everyone acts as certain as them and it's frustrating. If we're all equally certain, what makes me different from you? D-K gives the answer you want to hea
