A quick check on iOS 17.5 gives me working links when omitting the equals symbol, like #page70 instead of #page=70
Now, this is very much against the spec [0]. At first glance, the doubled functionality of encoding parameters is irritating, there are query parameters already, so ?page=70 would seem more consistent. But then, this has been worked on for a long and it makes sense to add a whole set of functions for certain mime-types.
There are 3 ways to position the cursor on iOS in normal input fields:
1. long tap 2. long tap on spacebar 3. move 2 fingers simultaneously on the iPad virtual keyboard (iPad only).
For all the frustration i had with the iOS keyboard, it‘s actually quite good.
Real problems are often created by 3d-Party JavaScript tools, a old version of codemirror for example.
My suspicion is that most of the population does not react too strongly or fast to a suboptimal diet, hence the general softness of this topic. But maybe a certain percentage does, and i consider myself one of them. It could well be that those who do are on the brink of a deficiency, but i'm not sure about that.
My experience, and there was i time i was really into this, doing interviews with mostly young people. The results fit the assumptions of William L. Wolcott very well, that most people basically fall into 2 groups, fast and slow metabolizers. They differ significantly when it comes to digestion. One group needing more of certain minerals then the other when eating the same foods (potassium making the biggest difference as far as i remember).
I remember often guessing correctly what type of water brand people would prefer based on this (chosing between 2 favourite sources, one with high potassium content. the sample size was small, but i'm really sure you can replicate this).
If this is due to genetics or due to gut microbes or both at the same time - i really don't know.
So, i think that the macro level does differ between people. That every person needs an individual mixture of nutrients to keep the metabolism in balance.
Btw, you can modify your metabolism bye eating differently and the body can adapt for a long time before any clinical symptoms show.
Wolcott explains the differences between those 2 groups in the following way: either the sympathetic nervous system or the parasympathetic nervous system is stronger and determines your metabolic type. And those systems can again be influenced by the environment (climate, food availability etc.).

As i could use his theory to predict food preferences, i never questioned the basic premise. Would be interesting to do some more digging again.
I would have never thought when reading about this over ten years ago [1], that the striking argument hasn't had bigger effects on the way these topics are discussed. And i'm sure the basics have been known for ages.
One more thing: it's also true for many types of medicine.
Well said. The size relations of inner organs for example vary betweeen people as far as i know. That is a big hint, althought it's not a proof in itself.
I want to add to that the nutritional needs within each person vary drastically during different times of year (or times of stress, even down to times of day). Athletes know this, for example, it is common to exhibit significant drops in performance during a year of training (recurring every year).
Now combine these simple observations with the way nutritional studies are done and you know why it looks as if we have no clue.
Thanks for calling out my inaccurate comment. What i really wanted to say: don't eat a big pile of meat with a big pile of simple carbohydrates all the time. And eat the dessert/sweet stuff separately, presumably in the afternoon, but not too close to dinner. This will work wonders.
And again, never view fats as something to avoid completely. If the fat is of good quality, it is a nutrient and an essential part of the diet.
sorry for not providing any links, i can not find any good english source materials at the moment. PM me if you want to get some more info.
keywords: food combinations, chronobiology, glucose reception
Regarding the food coma, i had great success just by not mixing proteins with carbohydrates (and not thinking that fats in general should be avoided). It's basically as simple as that - just stop eating combinations that make you tired.
This is especially true for fast metabolizers that get higher blood sugar faster from the same meals that a slow metabolizer has no problems with.
I really like this demo, but it reliably crashes a mid 2012 macbook pro with lion, both on firefox and safari (the older version of the demo was the same).
Now, reading the other comments, i wonder if there are any tools that help with diagnosing device capabilities?
I don't have high hopes of integrating anything WebGL related in my projects due to these problems, so how can you make sure that WebGL code will work across devices?
Edit: How can you make sure you notice when it's not working?
I think cravings are mostly an expression of a finely tuned feedback mechanism of the body to tell you what kinds of nutrients and minerals are currently lacking the most. The better you train this system by eating very varied, trying out all kinds of non processed foods, the better it works.
Search for 'magnesium deficiency and cravings' for a start. There should be other papers on the topic but i can't find anything right now.
But i'm not saying that there is no such thing as the microbiome directly influencing your brain, bacteria produce a wide array of by-products. In which way these by-products affect our bodies is exactly the question.
I just want to point out that there are types of dysbioses that can reduce the ability to absord certain nutrients and by that could exacerbate the problem of cravings.
New iPad (iOS 9.1) was 3.6 seconds ahead. I disabled automatic synchronization, set the clock manually and then turned synchronization back on. Everything looks fine now, with only +/- 0.044 seconds error.
Too bad i don't know if turning it off and on again would have worked too.
Unfortunately it doesn't support https-links yet and always shows a random image. But the filters are very nice.
Check out http://lorempixel.com though the variety is a bit limited.
It seems the site is using WEBrick as the webserver. Replacing it with Thin should help a lot performance wise.
Heroku has as section in their docs on how to change that: https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/rails3#webserver
Also, letting the application serve all the static assets has an even bigger impact on the number of dynos you need.
I'm not a heroku user, but it seems there are some good solutions to this problem, like https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/cdn-asset-host-rails31
