Falsehoods programmers believe about prices

You can store a price in a floating point variable.
All currencies are subdivided in 1/100th units (like US dollar/cents, euro/eurocents etc.).
All currencies are subdivided in decimal units (like dinar/fils)
All currencies currently in circulation are subdivided in decimal units. (to exclude shillings, pennies) (counter-example: MGA)
All currencies are subdivided. (counter-examples: KRW, COP, JPY... Or subdivisions can be deprecated.)
Prices can't have more precision than the smaller sub-unit of the currency. (e.g. gas prices)
For any currency you can have a price of 1. (ZWL)
Every country has its own currency. (EUR is the best example, but also Franc CFA, etc.)

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

Falsehoods programmers believe about time

This is a compiled list of falsehoods programmers tend to believe about working with time.

Don't re-invent a date time library yourself. If you think you understand everything about time, you're probably doing it wrong.

Falsehoods

There are always 24 hours in a day.
February is always 28 days long.
Any 24-hour period will always begin and end in the same day (or week, or month).
