Author: Joe 'Zonker' Brockmeier Editing in Vim can be a breeze, if you know how to make use of its more advanced features. Moving around files can feel like a slog if you’re stuck with the basic movement keys, but editing is effortless when you have command of marks and jumps. Basically, a mark is …

I put the first coat of polyurethane on some oak plywood shelves last night, and it turned out horrible. The surface has a bunch of little tiny rough bumps...

Oil based poly, especially the typical brands at the big box stores, is way too thick to be applied by brush by most of us mere mortals. And stretching the finish over a larger area in order to obtain a thin coat exacerbates the problem even more. It is just too thick to level on its own if you over work it even slightly.

Even though the can will likely tell you not to thin it, thinning with mineral spirits or naphtha even 10% by volume will vastly improve its ability to level on its own. Naphtha flashes off faster giving the film less time to collect dust nibs, one cause of the bumps you talk about.

Poly on the first two coats does feel bumpy but the more coats with proper treatment between coats will be very smooth.

• in terms of off camera use, you’d need the SU-800 to trigger it without another flash or the on camera flash. Equally you could trigger it with the flash button if you are doing a long exposure. The SU800 would probably be preferable.

• Buy yongnuo trigger

• I'd really recommend Jared Polin's guide to flash photography, it's fairly cheap but his videos are very good and worth buying!

The button state communicate its status to the user
Creating correct interactions and styles for your buttons is one of the most important parts of the process. Each state must have clear affordances that distinguish it from other states and the surrounding layout, but should not drastically alter a component or create a lot of visual noise.

Running is one of the most accessible ways to exercise, but it isn't as simple as throwing on sweat-wicking gear, comfortable running shoes, and hitting the pavement. You've got to consistently practice running with proper form in order to be an efficient runner.

Cue #1: Maintain the Same Height

Runners have the tendency to bounce excessively between strides, which can cause too much vertical displacement. This cue will keep you closer to the ground, decrease your time in the air, and force you to run lighter and absorb shock more efficiently.

Cue #2: Think Pull Instead of Push

Switching to a pulling stride while in contact with the ground allows you to use your hamstrings and glutes. Lift your heel up to about mid-calf of the opposite leg, keeping it in line with your glute muscles.

Cue #3: Lead With the Hips

When we lead with our hips as opposed to our head and shoulders, our extensors kick in and running upright becomes more natural. When you don't lead with your hips and run in a crouched or "sitting" position, your hips are flexed and your pelvis isn't in the right position.

If you want to make text better stand out against a background image, there’s a little trick: You can use a CSS linear-gradient overlay with a certain opacity on top of the image to improve color contrast.

How to determine the opacity to use for the overlay? The Optimal Overlay Finder helps you find out. You upload an image, enter your text and choose your overlay and text colors, and the tool shows you a preview of what the overlay looks like when applied to your image, as well as the optimal overlay opacity.
