How to Use Em Dashes (—), En Dashes (–) , and Hyphens (-) | Merriam-Webster

fjordaan — 2025-03-28T14:43:49+00:00

The em dash (—) can function like a comma, a colon, or parenthesis. Like commas and parentheses, em dashes set off extra information, such as examples, explanatory or descriptive phrases, or supplemental facts. Like a colon, an em dash introduces a clause that explains or expands upon something that precedes it. Via https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43497719

The Complete Illustrated Flexbox Tutorial – freeCodeCamp

The SVG `path` Syntax: An Illustrated Guide | CSS-Tricks

fjordaan — 2017-11-29T09:32:28+00:00

The element in SVG is the ultimate drawing element. It can draw anything! I've heard that under the hood all the other drawing elements ultimately use path anyway. The path element takes a single attribute to describe what it draws: the d attribute. The value it has is a mini syntax all to itself. It can look pretty indecipherable. It's a ton of numbers and letters smashed together into a long string. Like anything computers, there is a reason to the rhyme. I'm no expert here, but I thought it would be fun to dig into.

JavaScript Madness: Keyboard Events

fjordaan — 2016-07-08T16:13:54+00:00

The table below lists values for keys commonly found on US keyboards. If a single value is given, then that value is sent whether the Shift key is held down or not. If two values x/y are given, the the first is sent when the key is unshifted, and the second is sent when the key is shifted. (Ideally there should be slashed values only in the ASCII column of this table, since the other codes are all used only on keyup and keydown events, which are key events not character events.)
