# Mac OS X Lion introduced a new, iOS-like context menu when you press and hold a key
# that enables you to choose a character from a menu of options. If you are on Lion
# try it by pressing and holding down 'e' in any app that uses the default NSTextField
# for input.
#
# It's a nice feature and continues the blending of Mac OS X and iOS features. However,
# it's a nightmare to deal with in Sublime Text if you're running Vintage (Vim) mode,
# as it means you cannot press and hold h/j/k/l to move through your file. You have
# to repeatedly press the keys to navigate.

scrollIntoViewIfNeeded 4 everyone!!!

This gist provides a simple JavaScript implementation of the non-standard WebKit method scrollIntoViewIfNeeded that can be called on DOM elements.

Usage

Just use the code in index.js in your app or website. You can see usage in the test page test.html.

The parent element will only scroll if the element being called is out of the view. The boolean can force the element to be centered in the scrolling area.

Latency numbers every programmer should know

L1 cache reference ......................... 0.5 ns
Branch mispredict ............................ 5 ns
L2 cache reference ........................... 7 ns
Mutex lock/unlock ........................... 25 ns
Main memory reference ...................... 100 ns             
Compress 1K bytes with Zippy ............. 3,000 ns  =   3 µs
Send 2K bytes over 1 Gbps network ....... 20,000 ns  =  20 µs
SSD random read ........................ 150,000 ns  = 150 µs

Read 1 MB sequentially from memory ..... 250,000 ns = 250 µs

So, you want to send a motherfucking XMLHttpRequest (XHR, or commonly and falsly known as AJAX.) Too bad, just ran out of motherfucking XMLHttpRequests; but I still have one regular. XHR is not magic. It does not autofuckinmagically send things the way you want them do be sent. It does not do the thinking for you. It just sends an Http Request.

You get a hold on such a prime beast like this:

BEM – meaning block, element, modifier – is a front-end naming methodology. CSSWizardry uses a naming scheme based on BEM, but honed by Nicolas Gallagher. The naming convention follows this pattern:

.block {}
.block__element {}
.block--modifier {}

• .block represents the higher level of an abstraction or component
• .block__element represents a descendent of .block that helps form .block as a whole
• .block--modifier represents a different state or version of .block

BLOCK

Block encapsulates a standalone entity that is meaningful on its own.

While blocks can be nested and interact with each other, semantically they remain equal; there is no precedence or hierarchy.

Holistic entities without DOM representation (such as controllers or models) can be blocks as well.
