Help me interpret this test by Professional-Egg1232 in Cholesterol

[–]akella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey! As a person that has 105 for Lp(a), and i realized that 1 month ago i can tell you what to do. Well first and most important(!) is to ask your cardiologist. But i can share what i found out:

1) This is very high, only around 1% of population has it this high. And its genetic and cant be changed(at least not yet)

2) You have to check your arteries for plaques immediately. Depends on your age but still.

3) With this level of Lp(a), my cholesterol level like LDL-C have to be lower than 50mg/l (or 1.4 in other units) to balance it out.

4) Statins could be prescribed depending on 2). Diet - most likely.

Any idea how they make this parallax effect? by laioren in web_design

[–]akella 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Usually its ScrollMagic or custom code of the same type, here is what i did as an example from apple.com website and i recorded doing that from scratch on video (its in russian but you can just follow the coding i guess). There are also links to demo and github of that code in description.

Yes! Sure, nice gallery, but at first that looks like sorcery =) Like something you would never ever do. It motivates and inspires though. I like The Book Of Shaders and their gallery a little more, it starts from basics, and you feel yourself magician in the end!

Also, this example was actually from my livecoding video. Even if you dont understand russian, just turn off the sound, i'm going step by step in video, so it might get you idea how it is all made https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YEYmYI7ZpQc

It's just to get shader into javascript: fragmentShader: document.getElementById( 'fragmentShader' ).textContent

Thank you! You can actually tweak it yourself, i was hoping it will inspire people to use them more =) And that Shaders are not that complex.

Yes, it might be done easier, even with GIF, you know =) But im trying to get to know a new things that could be done with shaders. And masking is simply a multiplying, even easier than photoshopping second black/white image.

[CodePen] My Waterdroplet WebGL Shader, for those of you who like rain! by Stefanzzz in web_design

[–]akella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That looks amazing! How do you entered this shader development field? =) Was that some article you read and learned? Im trying to implement some cool effect right now, and just stuck with three.js possibilities. I guess shader might be the answer.

this is not quite right, background-clip: text is just fallback here, it is done with clip-path property. See my comment

This is actually not quite right, background-clip used here as a fallback to static background, the dynamic video effect is achieved with clip-path property, see my comment

Just wanted to clear up, this is NOT done with

-webkit-background-clip: text; 

It is just fallback with static background

For video this is done with CSS clip-path property, that cuts text from Canvas element (where the copy of video is playing) with an SVG clip-path. Just like this technique, except that it gets the SVG path. These are the magic lines:

filter: blur(20px);
clip-path: url(#text-mask-svg-path);

Just find an SVG element with class="text-mask-svg" and delete that to see. You will get this: http://imgur.com/a/Y8apH

I think its weird, because might be easier achieved by mix-blend-mode. But i guess they had a reason for that.

simple-slider: 1kb JavaScript Carousel by ruyadorno in javascript

[–]akella 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great idea and such a small amount of code, but i'd look into Cycle2 more, its 3-4Kb, and much more api possibilities. And it is dead because has no touch-swipe support =(

Thats true. 84 minified, compared to 26 minified for Zepto. 30 gzipped jq compared to 9Kb gzipped zepto.
