I wouldn't plug any PC into anything not surge protected...


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.


ummm yes.


What an age we live in, utterly depressing.


pencil / paper


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.


I can assure you that building things will teach you more than reading off a massive list of facts.


Out of curisoity, what would your library provide over the web animations api.


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.


A pedantic note - your library provides sinusoidal easing, not spring physics.


Where do you use spring physics? Is it just for translations, or do you actually deform objects using mass-spring networks?

So in other words, sued if you dont, sued if you do.


Clearly you have never worked at mc.donalds.


No but I have been a busboy. And I did work my way through college while working a lot of other so-called "dead-end jobs".


I have no clue how this works but could people not just host their server outside the jurisdiction of these assholes?


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.
