Link:  btn-lg is smaller than input-lg Example:  input-size-bootstrap Issue     In all modern browsers except in IE10+, it seems that the large buttons with large inputs for input groups are smaller. The difference is only a pixel but is noticeable on some screens. To be clear this issue can be avoided if you  use the input-group-lg  however my test prove that the heights stay consistent regardless which style classes you use. I didn't find this out until I started looking into the issue and I think this is kinda nit picking but something that should be corrected to prevent future mistakes. Changes     For my first attempt I tried changing the @line-height-large but if I changed the @line-height-large this affects the input-group-lg, and select input-group-lg as well as the large buttons. So instead to just change the large buttons I set the large button line-height by adding a 0.01 value. This still had problems in firefox, which lead me to the final solution below.  File(s

    Sometime after I  graduated back in March, 2013 I was lucky enough to have an interview with Google for a six month contact on the west coast.     A lot of time has passed since my interview and this is just some of the notes I took before hand in order to  prepare . Regardless of the outcome of this  interview  I still I learned a great deal, and look back at it as an example of how to  effectively  prove my skills. I was d efinitely  was  nervous on this one haha.   Jobs description and position daily work type at Google     "In this critical position, you will be part of exciting as well as   new fast-paced projects.

    So I asked myself one day how does this cool library work and how can I start making my own vector scaled icons? They are many reasons why I might want to create my style of font-awesome and understanding what going on behind the scenes. Rather than just use some png files into a sprite they can be embed icons in the style sheet. Font-awesome kind of hides the icons in the stylesheet with before and after content.       Without going too deep into the rabbit hole, and to somewhat answer this question in my own words. I would say that font-awesome which is being built with Adobe using vector scaled icons that have transparent grey scale in order for customizable color schemes and references them in the css with the "content" style. Not familiar with the syntax being used but the css uses some kind of path points to the icon's location. Example of that is  "\f132"   which output a shield icon. The file  path.less  probably explains much of the syntax behind

    Let's cut to the chase, I was looking for a way to use a single account with a single property  and have multiple views. I thought this was very possible would be easy to manage data that way but I wasn't sure how. After playing around a little with the interface I figured it out. None of the resources directly helped but were really good insight. What I also figured out was that you can use a single line of code to do this, so no need to change the javascript in each environment. This is great because I don't need to alter the javascript snippet to point to the difference environments. Google Analytics Filters     You will need these order to separate the data between different views, use the filter on your views not the property. Under Admin, select your view and then Filters.  For all the filters (Dev,QA, Prod) I did a  Predefined, Included only, traffic to the hostname and that contains.   I've seen in some environments where dev and qa are on a subdoma

    This wee k I installed android studio however but I didn't want manually install it and to use the zip file. So looked for the appropriate exe file (if there was any). In the recent  notes there is explanation on why the zip version pointed the download link. I installed v.0.8.14 but I pretty sure I wasn't paying attention because there is later versions available. Infact the release  Candidate 4  was updated just yesterday but v0.8.14 is what's currently listed on the downloads .  Notes (v.0.8.14)  after my install for android studio, prompted to startup the application but got that jvm missing error. When I ran the application myself and it worked fine. Also the icon is different for the program in the taskbar from the zip to the exe file. After running both the zip and the exe files, both made a configuration in the user's folder but only one of them was called beta.  After pinning the program to the taskbar, the program duplicated itself. I then tried

     I move around from machine to machine a lot and this is an issue hidden in another form. The error doesn't really help but it is clear something is missing. Two things that I was missing was the correct file path to my sdk and didn't the JRE included/installed. Things to make sure you always do install the JDK  and  JRE install the version you want 64 or 32 bit sometimes I install both just to be safe but I don't like to do that. create the environment path JAVA_HOME sometimes the installer doesn't create this... path (64 bit) should be something like..   C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_25      Right click on the window icon in the right and go to systems (advanced settings). Notes https://www.java.com/en/ - Does not include the JRE. http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html Resources ide - Android Studio 'tools.jar' file is not present in classpath - Stack Overflow  - Linux help Getting Started wit

    So I broke  one of my own rules, which was staying on task. With a lot of my notes being scattered all over the place the last few weeks it has been difficult to keep track of things. I have accomplish a lot, but I think I will go back to publishing my notes to better focus on my deadline.  I could have written the notes and just not publish them but I think it would be a waste of time,  especially  since I was already using a issue tracker. Publish these article forces my hand to show what I've got (which may not look like much for this article but I'll let you be the judge).  Notes:     I wanted to start getting my game in a playable state and since a lot of the small things bugged me. I just had to get them working right. I started worked on the things that just make it difficult to control my player but I did spend too much time on the player's character model.
