How could I miss CSS "position: sticky"? 😱

Argh,

Today - you son of a bitch.

It all started with a 2 hour flight out of town for business, and I mean started as in I needed to be at the airport at 4:30am!

Despite 2 coffee's to get me out of bed I proceeded to indulge myself in the magic juice, 3 cups later and it felt like my heart belonged in a Grand Prix.

Now here is the sticky part, we where briefed that we would only be doing 2 site meetings and that was it.

Low and be hold it got worse, turns out that we would be pitching our product to 3 highly regarded CEO's, now bare in mind that my position on this trip is as the lead developer, and don't get me wrong I am well up to date on every aspect of the business, hence why they sent me.

So more coffee down the gullet, and eventually the conversation leads back to a project that I had developed to allow authorization of debit orders online, now usually I'm quite a well presented person in these types of situations, but you don't realize how quick this can change.

A quick jump to the geography of the location I was doing business. Johannesburg, South Africa - its as dry as hell, smoggy and at a very higher altitude "as in above sea level".

Now unfortunately none of the above factors where helping me much at all.

Now back to where I am being asked about my project, and never in my life have I tripped over my own words, I went completely blank, I'm surprised I didn't pass out to be honest.

Now despite the death stare and my colleague kicking me under the table, I am feeling pretty terrible, fortunately I had a kick ass team that was able to cover my ass!

Luckily I was able to recover ( 2 muffins and about 3 bottles of water later). We where able to salvage the meeting and it turned out pretty well, I regained my energy and we made it happen!

Must say the flight back was amazing! Almost empty and we all had a row of seats to ourselves, which resulted in some major comfort stretching!

Thanks for tolerating my essay, I'd love to hear if anyone has had anything of the sorts happen to them.

Product Managers worldwide are rejoicing...

Hi @dfox, hi @trogus

Why have you decided to achive a sticky avatar on the rant page by increasing padding-top on scroll on the web app?

I try to understand your decision, because I would have choosen position sticky.

I did a little bit of finger practice in Unity, nothing fancy just two spheres and a capsule-guy under Newtonian gravity and a force-driven player control script that works on spheres.

I will never understand how C# libraries spontaneously decide that some operations will be nonvirtual methods while others will be static methods. It is the exact same thing! You're just ruining intellisense for no conceivable reason!

Also, transform has a right but no left, the float return value of Vector3.SignedAngle is not the same unit as Transform.Rotate(Vector3, float), Transform has LookAt(Vector3 position) but not Look(Vector3 direction), to do that you need to

transform.rotation = Quaternion.LookRotation(Vector3.ProjectOnPlane(transform.up, direction).normalized(), direction)

you can't discover whether a collision encountered sticky or dynamic friction, you need to infer that by calling RigidBody.GetPointVelocity on both RB-s at the collision point, which has its own quirks. Apparently this is to keep the API engine agnostic, but any serious project will have its own physics materials which already specify the sticky friction coefficient. A simulation that works correctly with physics materials but doesn't discover the kind of friction as an intermediate result is not possible.

RigidBody's velocity isn't displayed in the GUI, so you can't give it an initial value without a dedicated script. I have a script on this fucking moon that does nothing but add a force in Start.

Is it just me or does Unity feel cheap somehow? Like a hastily written library for a research project that was never rounded out with the obvious features. I understand that it's a free product that catalyzed the golden age of indie game development, but I think it's seriously struggling to keep up, not with the showy investor bait stuff, but with the standard of comfort modern tooling provides.

Heyyy DevRant Fam! :D, hope everyone is doing very well today! i would love to get some input/advice from my fellow developer friends here today... so Milo has gotten himself into a sticky situation... So recently i had a little opportunity to get some mentor-ship or internship through a family friend, and im sooo excited but nervous at the same time.. i sometimes think to myself am i really 'good enough for such a position'?? but however since I've never really experienced this sort of work, whats their to lose? or is this a bad way too think about it? :D

so ladies and gents, I'm really interested in the stock market and that sort of finance, and i think id be a good fit to build tools for traders, if i cannot get into that sort of position, why not work back office and have more of a support role? I'm always very happy to work my way up as I'm highly motivated!, however in the case that i manage to get into such a position, I'd love to know, what sort of things do i need know to be able to land such a position? if you can give me any tips or advice id be extremely grateful! :D

If you have managed to get this far into my post, I'd love to say thank you so much! and i really apologize for rambling on... i generally always do that.... and also i want to say thank you so much for taking the time to read my question <3 really means a lot to me!

just quick note letting everyone know as a hobby project I'm building a little list app where i can save my favorite stock tickers/symbols into a list and see the price changes over time (through alphavantage's API) :D

Kind regards,
Milo <3 :-)

Who successfully used position: sticky with z-index today??! This guy!!

Damn, my notifaction panel decided to stay sticky.
Position fixed?
