How a Block Formatting Context (BFC) behaves is easiest to understand with a simple float example. In the below example I have a box that contains an image that has been floated left and some text. If we have a good amount of text it wraps around the floated image and the border then runs around the whole lot.

There are two ways in which we ordinarily fix this layout problem. One would be to use a clearfix hack, which has the effect of inserting an element below the text and image and setting it to clear both. The other method is to use the overflow property, with a value other than the default of visible.
.outer {
overflow: auto;
}

Hello all, this is a fourth blog post in the Machine learning in Perl series, focusing on the AI::MXNet, a Perl interface to Apache MXNet, a modern and powerful machine learning library.

Adding a hamburger menu was convenient, but removing it ultimately led to better business performance.

Whether that’s by making the hamburger toggle action more explicit, or removing it completely — the gains can be considerable.

We’ve taken the learnings from these tests forward and are avoiding hamburger menus where possible. One recent example is a relatively complex e-commerce site, for which we’ve designed a site structure tailored around mobile optimised navigation — allowing us to expose the menu items by default.

One of the biggest challenges to quitting is the fact that most alternatives, particularly those in the open source of privacy space, are really not user friendly. I’m not a techie. I have a website, understand how to manage Wordpress, and can do some basic troubleshooting, but I can’t use Command Line or do anything that requires coding.

Author Derek Sivers once said, “What is obvious to you is amazing to others.” If you can give people an easy-to-understand solution to a problem they have, they’ll pay for you for it. If you can automate it, you’re miles ahead of the game.

A blog is useful for many reasons. It can become a source of leads, it can be the place where, in the future, you might sell your products if you want to become an indie developer, or it can simply be the place where you have your audience and express your ideas.

Humans can’t endure boredom for a long time, which is why products that are built for non-exciting, repetitive tasks so often get abandoned and gather dust on computers and phones. But boredom, according to psychologists, is merely lack of stimulation, the unfulfilled desire for satisfying activity. So what if we use the interface to give them that stimulation?

Remember that a blockchain is an immutable, sequential chain of records called Blocks. They can contain transactions, files or any data you like, really. But the important thing is that they’re chained together using hashes.

Then I remembered something I need reminding of consistently, despite my 20 years learning the fine art of observing my thoughts:

There is always a loving reason for every catastrophe, minor or otherwise, if you look for it. Always.

FOR EXAMPLE

When we think about the console, the first thing that comes to mind and the console.log, right? But there are many more methods than those we imagine. Now we will see how to make the most of using the console, and I’ll give you some tips to make them these methods more readable

• Revision Control System: track changes

• ~4:30: "This stuff should be taught in schools. If you are not teaching students version control you are doing them a vast disservice. I am super tired of having to spend the first month of onboarding every new junior developer on how to use git."

• ~5:20 Git is not only for code! He talks about text changes, but I think it is also good for tracking binary file changes (but you can't tell the differences).

I’d go as far as saying that you should not expect any traction until you have put out (published, shipped) at least three hundred great pieces of work.

It is this level of quantity that leads to:

Refinement and mastery of your skills;
Being faster, more efficient and better at flow;
A growing sense of momentum and energy;
Getting a better sense of what people WANT;
More ‘nodes’ through which to attract attention online and elsewhere;
More ideas and more ‘aha’ moments that lead to more electric, more emotional output;
Others believing in you because you believe in yourself, by showing up often or every day.

As some of the finest fictional world-builders have understood, few things excite the imagination like a map. And despite the geographical limitation implied by its title, National Geographic’s maps have surveyed the entire globe and beyond. The magazine’s articles have not always presented an enlightened point of view, but for all its historical failings, the richly-illustrated monthly has excelled as a showcase for cartography, over which readers might spend hours, projecting themselves into unknown lands, journeying through the carefully-drawn topographies, cityscapes, and celestial charts.
