Web Workers

This specification defines an API for running scripts in the background independently of any user interface scripts. Stack architecture demystified. Eli Bendersky resolves the confusion over stack architecture with the help of some diagrams.

Stack architecture demystified

He focuses on the Intel x86 but it equally applicable to other architectures. Where the top of the stack is on x86 I’ve noticed more than once that some programmers are confused about the direction in which the stack grows on x86, and what "top of the stack" and "bottom of the stack" mean. It appears that this confusion is caused by a basic mismatch in the way people are used to thinking about stacks, and in the way the stack on x86 actually behaves. It doesn’t help that some online resources mistakenly call the top of the stack "bottom". Geolocation and Online Fraud Prevention from MaxMind. Where are you from? IP Geolocation.

Knowing where a website visitor is located is vital if you hope to have a chance to provide information that is geographically relevant.

Where are you from? IP Geolocation

The simplest solution is to use IP geolocation. In the case of I Programmer, for our book review section and articles such as this one where we indicate relevant book titles, we want to pinpoint a user's location so that the best Amazon locale can be used to retrieve book pricing details in the correct currency. One obvious solution would be to ask the user but, guess what, users really don't like to be asked things. Indeed if confronted by a pop-up window demanding that they divulge where they are, many visitors might simply go away without ever finding out if a site offers anything useful. For some reason most users are paranoid about revealing any information, no matter how innocent and harmless even if it could be beneficial.

Description: Perform a custom animation of a set of CSS properties.

.animate

The .animate() method allows us to create animation effects on any numeric CSS property. The only required parameter is a plain object of CSS properties. This object is similar to the one that can be sent to the .css() method, except that the range of properties is more restrictive. Animation Properties and Values All animated properties should be animated to a single numeric value, except as noted below; most properties that are non-numeric cannot be animated using basic jQuery functionality (For example, width, height, or left can be animated but background-color cannot be, unless the jQuery.Color plugin is used).

In addition to style properties, some non-style properties such as scrollTop and scrollLeft, as well as custom properties, can be animated. Shorthand CSS properties (e.g. font, background, border) are not fully supported. Wackyrobot.com [6] Riotsw.
