Ruby Brasil. Litany against fear ¤ by nick quaranto ¤ The Rails Module (in Rails 3) Techknow | Break Coders Block! Over the last few years web browsers have made a lot of progress to add new features based on what is shaping up to be HTML5 and CSS3. I’ve already demonstrated what can be done with new CSS properties such as the CSS border-radius property. Now, I’ll cover the CSS box-shadow property. Using box-shadow This tutorial will demonstrate how to add shadows to a div HTML element using the CSS box-shadow property. For the purpose of this tutorial, we’ll the following CSS class that defines our div box. As you can figure out by the property name, the box-shadow property can be used to create a shadow outside, or inside of your div box. In the simplest forms, you can add a drop shadow on the lower right of a div tag by adding the following CSS on the style attribute of the div.

The first numeric value in the box-shadow property is the length of the shadow on the horizontal side of the div box, the second numeric value is the length of the shadow on the vertical side. 24 Hour Apps. Proper Fixation. Working simultaneously vs waiting simultaneously April 11th, 2014 — hardware, software "Multiprocessing", "multi-threading", "parallelism", "concurrency" etc. etc. can give you two kinds of benefits: Doing many things at once - 1000 multiplications every cycle.Waiting for many things at once - wait for 1000 HTTP requests just issued. Some systems help with one of these but not the other, so you want to know which one - and if it's the one you need. For instance, CPython has the infamous GIL - global interpreter lock. Indeed you can hardly do many things at once - not in a single pure Python process.

So GIL is not a problem for "simultaneous waiting" for I/O. So IMO Python doesn't have as bad a story in this department as it's reputed to have - and if it does look bad to you, you probably can't tolerate Python's slowness doing one thing at a time in the first place. So Python - or C, for that matter - is OK for simultaneous waiting, but is it great? Conclusions See also A*x + B = y. Ruby on Rails Blog of Railshouse. Ruby On Genio. Home.

To me, it is the unique viewpoints of individuals who express their thoughts uninterrupted by editors or restrictions other than the self-imposed variety.

I frequently inject opinion here and take sides. That’s not really a secret and should be pretty clear if you’ve been reading for awhile. I would like to think you’re here not necessarily because your agree or disagree with what I write, but that you think it is worth hearing and want to learn, interact and debate with me. If you agree with everything all bloggers you read are saying, you’re not reading enough blogs. I don’t think there is any blogger I read who I agree with their thoughts.

Perhaps most interesting of all are posts I disagree with, as those are the kind that I’ll think deeper about, add my opinion on and back up why I disagree. If you’re a blogger, don’t ever be afraid to have opinions or take sides, you’ll only succeed in getting in the way of what could potentially be great content.
