I have never used a surge protector, and I don't think I've ever seen one in a home or office.
Much of Europe uses buried cables, so there's less risk from lightning strikes, and I think the higher line voltage (230V) reduces the effect of something like a dodgy elevator motor in the same billing.
I have visited the US a few times, where I remember the lights would dim momentarily if the garbage compactor or the dryer were used.
As a programmer, this is the only way I design things. I really should go about learning a design platform (i.e. Framer), but it looks like there is a large learning curve.
Spring physics, frame-based callbacks (see the `change()` examples), functions as values for duration, delay and any property you animate, making staggered animations easy to create, etc.
Nice. I'd be interested in that and love small footprint libraries. Do you have a comparison with http://velocityjs.org/ or other popular alternatives?
In terms of performance, it outperforms all the animation libraries I’ve tried ( you can compare the stress test linked at the bottom of the page with this version made with GreenSock: http://animateplus.com/examples/stress-test/gsap/ ). In terms of weight and parse time, it’s also the fastest afaict. That being said, it’s not as powerful as GreenSock for example as it mainly focuses on performance and simplicity.
I just did -- your stress test kept my CPU and GPU at 20-25. GSAP's kept them at 13-15.
EDIT: More testing -- When I shut down all other tabs, yours dropped down to a bit lower than GSAP. But I find that a bit odd/concerning that it only performs better when it is the only thing running.
No. Jurisdication is irrelevant. The transmission has to pass through local jurisdiction servers and wire and thus falls prey to those laws. Hosting in Aruba for your US customers does not provide any veil of safety from prosecution.
