I found this true as well. However, the actual effects are nice. I did notice some flashing with the "bubble" animation on Mobile Safari (probably a browser quirk). Though others like "slide" appear smooth and sleek.

I always sleep with the window open, because the fresh air feels nice. In evolutionary terms, you could speculate that the nice feeling of fresh air could be an instinctual response directing the organism to seek higher quality air.

I often do the same thing with more critical functionality. Though I'm not quite as thorough, usually calling it at iteration 2 or 3.

Exclusive homosexuality is found in nearly 10% of male sheep, as well as a bunch of other species of mammals and birds. What’s interesting with the giraffes is the really high prevalence (94%), which suggests it’s an adaptation to some form

Agreed, the accepted models in physics are laughably incomplete. There is still a tremendous amount we still don't know. Although it's possible we've peaked, I have doubts. It is also a self fulfilling prophecy to declare tha

Don't know why you're getting down votes, this is a reasonable question. For instance, if you have a container full of hermit crabs, shells, and other debris, nearly 100% of the crabs will adorn themselves with a shell, because of

To me at least covered.com would have been a better choice for an insurance company. Though the cost to benefit of $800k makes me seriously question if that money could have been spent somewhere else with better returns.

I'm a huge fan of the new service workers functionality. Between it, and local storage, you can write offline web apps, which offer native app like functionality.

Agreed, the explicit nature of React is a really appealing aspect of the framework to me. Coming from Angular 1, React is remarkably "magic free," while offering a comparable level of functionality.

I would be surprised if the 5% that goes toward computing didn't knock down transportation from 35% to 30% through improved logistics alone. My gut feeling is computers are a net positive energy wise. Also what percentage of that 5% go

This is basically what Alphanym does, though it presents the nickname field conditionally, to optimize the sign up flow for fewer fields whenever possible.

While still in the Unicode realm, some people have names that can only be spelled in their native script vertically. For instance people with Manchu names. This case breaks Wikipedia's formatting in comical ways. https://en.

The biggest problem with this strategy is it isn't idiomatic to refer to someone by their full name in many contexts. However given its simplicity, and cultural neutrality, a single full name field should be the default choice IMO.

No these are all names of public figures pulled from Wikipedia, not names submitted by individuals, because of the obvious privacy violations. Each name has a corresponding Wikipedia article. I should have clarified initially though. For in

That's a pretty common way for people to modify their names into a more practical form (I'm sure typing all that out is a pain). This is why you shouldn't ever assume properties of people's names, and should instead writ

Most certainly, percentile wise, they're the 99th. Nearly every case where I encountered a name that long though, there was a shorter form. Generally really long names are either patronymic/matronymic (listing ancestors) like many

I actually wrote a full-stack web service to handle people's names, specifically to help avoid situations like this. My best advice: treat people's names as a potentially very long and entirely arbitrary text field. Don't ass

Reminds me a little bit of Gertrude Stein's Tender Buttons, in the book she uses very unorthodox language to make the mundane seem surreal. It has been described as "verbal cubism."

One of my favorite parts of Python is the idempotent type casting functions. Say you have a function that takes a list as input, but sometimes a tuple is passed. Wrapping the input like lvalues = list(values), ensures that lvalues will alwa

This is solid advice. Another common trick is to disable the submit event when the submit button is clicked for the first time, preventing two requests from firing, when the user double clicks. Then re-enable the event, if the request fails

A k2+ gender version would be an interesting expansion on the idea though. Since the notion of a complementary or inverse gender isn't universal to all genders, maybe cases where there's no clear inverse the gender could be swappe
