Would a Pune-style bomb blast have happened in a Chinese city? Or a 26/11? Or any of the scores of terror attacks that India has been subjected to over the years?

D.K. Metcalf says the best advice he received as a rookie was to sit down last at team meetings. Metcalf shared his experience as a first-year wide receiver for the Seattle Seahawks with 547 players in the NFL’s first rookie webinar after the draft last month. Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Gardner Minshew and San Francisco 49ers linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair also were panelists on the discussion moderated by Mo Kelly, a former Seahawks defensive back and the team’s current director of player engagement.

When Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone said the team was considering adding a veteran quarterback last week, many people thought names like Andy Dalton and Cam Newton might be in the mix. Dalton came off the market quickly and signed with the Cowboys and the Jaguars signed Mike Glennon on Friday with Newton still available. [more]

This isn't quite the way Anthony McFarland expected his NFL career to begin. Pittsburgh's fourth-round draft pick is doing what he can to keep up during the first - and the NFL hopes only - ''virtual'' offseason amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Sure, he'd rather be at the Steelers' practice facility with the rest of the newcomers.

If it's not a good year to have a young quarterback because of the lack of on-field work this offseason, the Bengals are in trouble. Their oldest quarterback is Ryan Finley, who is 25. Their most experienced quarterback is Finley, who had three starts, no wins and 87 attempts as a rookie. The Bengals released [more]

Vice-President Naidu has been around in Delhi for so long, it is quite natural that he would know most fixtures in the capital by name, even journalists of a certain age.

The Natural History Museum's Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition just named the winner of this year's LUMIX People's Choice Award, and the perfectly-timed photo by wildlife filmmaker and photographer Sam Rowley is just too good to keep to ourselves.Selected from over 48,000 submitted images and 25 impressive finalists, Rowley's winning photo is called "Station Squabble," and it features two mice getting into a tussle over some leftover crumbs in the London Underground.

From making 'COVIDIOTS' (a term coined for those flouting restrictions) squat on the road and do sit-ups, to making them pose with pamphlets admitting their fault, police officials have pulled out all the stops from their kitty of creativity to drive home the message.

The elusive anonymous artist, who usually works in the street, posted a set of images on his Instagram, with the caption: "My wife hates it when I work from home."

Showdown (also known as PageDown) is a JavaScript parser for Markdown-formatted text. It’s used on this site to generate a formatted preview of your comment as you type it. Showdown is library-agnostic, but fortunately, using it with jQuery isn’t much of a problem.

When writing CSS for markup with weird class or id attribute values, you need to consider some rules. For example, you can’t just use ## { color: #f00; } to target the element with id="#". Instead, you’ll have to escape the weird characters (in this case, the second #). Doing so will cancel the meaning of special CSS characters and allows you to refer to characters you cannot easily type out, like crazy Unicode symbols.

Dropbox organized a scavenger hunt named Dropquest the other day. The first 81 people to complete all steps won some nice prizes, but everyone participating in the quest can get 1 GB of extra Dropbox storage space.

This is one of those posts I wrote just to be able to link back to it later. I see a lot of questions on the subject, and even though I don’t mind explaining the same thing over and over again, it’s probably easier to just write it down once.

Having recently written about character references in HTML, I figured it would be interesting to look into JavaScript character escapes as well.

Fun fact: var foo = { H̹̙̦̮͉̩̗̗ͧ̇̏̊̾Eͨ͆͒̆ͮ̃͏̷̮̣̫̤̣Cͯ̂͐͏̨̛͔̦̟͈̻O̜͎͍͙͚̬̝̣̽ͮ͐͗̀ͤ̍̀͢M̴̡̲̭͍͇̼̟̯̦̉̒͠Ḛ̛̙̞̪̗ͥͤͩ̾͑̔͐ͅṮ̴̷̷̗̼͍̿̿̓̽͐H̙̙̔̄͜: 42 }; is valid JavaScript. It may not be immediately obvious, but the real surprise here is that the Cthulhu-esque property name is not surrounded by quotes. Intrigued by this, and having written about the similar topic of JavaScript identifiers before, I decided to look into valid property names in JavaScript. When do they need to be quoted? When can the quotes be omitted? And in which cases can dot notation be used instead of bracket notation to get or set a property based on its name?

Are the quotes in font-family: 'Comic Sans MS' required, or not? If you thought the answer was yes, you may want to read on.

Are you using MySQL’s utf8 charset in your databases? In this write-up I’ll explain why you should switch to utf8mb4 instead, and how to do it.
