`transform` property can be used to scale text:

    .menu li a {
      color: #ffffff;
      text-transform: uppercase;
      text-decoration: none;
      font-family: &quot;HelveticaNeue-Medium&quot;, sans-serif;
      font-size: 14px;
      display: inline-block;
      transform: scale(1, 1.5);
      -webkit-transform: scale(1, 1.5); /* Safari and Chrome */
      -moz-transform: scale(1, 1.5); /* Firefox */
      -ms-transform: scale(1, 1.5); /* IE 9+ */
      -o-transform: scale(1, 1.5); /* Opera */
    }

I was on Microsoft&#39;s website and noticed two different installers, one for x64 and one for IA-64. Reference:[Installing the .NET Framework 4.5, 4.5.1](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/5a4x27ek.aspx)

My understanding is that IA-64 is a subclass of x64, so I&#39;m curious why it would have a separate installer.


What is the difference between x64 and IA-64?

Struggling with a tiny problem.

I have an array:

    Array
    (
        [0] =&gt; 
        [6] =&gt; 6
        [3] =&gt; 5
        [2] =&gt; 7
    )

I am checking if a set value is in the array.

    if(in_array(5, $array)) {
    //do something
    } else {
    // do something else
    }

The thing is, when it find the value 5 in array, I really need the key to work with in my &quot;do something&quot;.

In this case I need to set:

    $key = 3;

(key from the found value in_array).

Any suggestions?

PHP if in_array() how to get the key as well?

I am using an embedded font for the top navigational elements on a site
`Helvetica65` and at `16px` it is the perfect WIDTH but I need it to be
about `90%` of it&#39;s current height.

In Photoshop, the solution is simple - adjust the vertical scaling.

Is there a way to do essentially the same thing using CSS? And if so, how
well is it supported?

Here is a [jsFiddle][1] of the basic nav coding.

I am trying to center a image horizontally using css.

I am displaying my image on the screen with the following HTML code:

    &lt;div id=&quot;loading&quot; class=&quot;loading-invisible&quot;&gt;  
        &lt;img class=&quot;loading&quot; src=&quot;logo.png&quot;&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

I am croping my image as I only want to display some of the image and I am using the following css:

    img.loading 
    {
    position:absolute;
    clip:rect(0px,681px,75px,180px);
    }

however I can&#39;t work out how to center the image once it has been croped.

Anyone able to help ?

I am looking for a plugin or technique that changes a text&#39;s color or switches between predefined images/icons depending on the average brightness of the covered pixels of its parent&#39;s background-image or -color.

If the covered area of it&#39;s background is rather dark, make the text white or switch the icons. 

Additionally, it&#39;d be great if the script would notice if the parent has no defined background-color or -image and then continue to search for the nearest (from parent element to its parent element..).

What do you think, know about this idea? Is there something similar out there already? Examples?

Is there any way to embed HTML in the css `content:` element when using a `:before` pseudo-element?

I want to use a Font Awesome (or Glyphicon) in a use case like this:

        h1:before {
            content: &quot;X&quot;;
            padding-right: 10px;
            padding-left: 10px;
            color: @orangeLight;
        }

Where `X` is something like `&lt;i class=&quot;icon-cut&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt;`.

I can, of course do this manually in HTML, but I really want to use `:before` in this case.

Similarly, is there any way to use `&lt;i&gt;` as a list bullet?  This works, but doesn&#39;t behave correctly for multi-line bullet items:

    &lt;ul class=&quot;icons&quot;&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;icon-ok&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Lists&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;icon-ok&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Buttons&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;icon-ok&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Button groups&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;icon-ok&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Navigation&lt;/li&gt;
      &lt;li&gt;&lt;i class=&quot;icon-ok&quot;&gt;&lt;/i&gt; Prepended form inputs&lt;/li&gt;
    &lt;/ul&gt;

I have a solution by which I can create scrollable tables w/fixed header/footer using minor jQuery and CSS - but I am looking for a way to make this a CSS-only solution that is cross-browser compliant.

To be clear, what I am seeking to do is use **only** a `table` tag (and it&#39;s valid sub-tags, `colgroup`, `col`, `thead`, `tbody`, `tfoot`, `tr`, `th`, `td`), but adopt a set of CSS rules which will meet the following conditions:

 1. Must maintain column alignment between header / footer / content rows
 2. Must allow the header/footer to remain fixed while the content scrolls vertically
 3. Must not require any jQuery or other JavaScript in order to provide the functionality
 4. Must only use the tags provided above

This code example: http://jsfiddle.net/TroyAlford/SNKfd/ shows my current approach. Most of the JS is just to populate the table with random values, but the last portion is what drives the left/right scrollability.

    $tbody.bind(&#39;scroll&#39;, function(ev) {
        var $css = { &#39;left&#39;: -ev.target.scrollLeft };
        $thead.css($css);
        $tfoot.css($css);
    });

NOTE: The example provided does not render properly in IE, and requires jQuery to provide the horizontal scrolling. I don&#39;t care about horizontal scrolling anyway, so it&#39;s fine if a solution doesn&#39;t do that.

What is the preferred way of including Google Fonts on a page?

1. Via the `&lt;link&gt;` tag
    ```html
    &lt;link rel=&quot;preconnect&quot; href=&quot;https://fonts.googleapis.com&quot;&gt;
    &lt;link rel=&quot;preconnect&quot; href=&quot;https://fonts.gstatic.com&quot; crossorigin&gt;
    &lt;link href=&quot;https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Judson:ital,wght@0,400;0,700;1,400&amp;display=swap&quot; rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot;&gt;
    ```
2. Via import in a stylesheet
    ```css
    @import url(&#39;https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Kameron:wght@400;700&amp;display=swap&#39;);
    ```

I have an app that changes the font typeface for some elements. It works well for most of the people, but maybe a 0.5% get an exception when trying to change the font. The significant part of the stack trace is this:

    Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: native typeface cannot be made
    at android.graphics.Typeface.&lt;init&gt;(Typeface.java:147)
    at android.graphics.Typeface.createFromAsset(Typeface.java:121)

As I say, it works for most of the people, so I don&#39;t think it is a problem with the font file or my code. Any suggestions about how to solve this?

**Edit:** This is my code:

    Typeface phoneticFont = Typeface.createFromAsset(getAssets(),
                                                     &quot;fonts/CharisSILR.ttf&quot;);
    TextView tv;
    tv = ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.searchPronunciationTitle));
    tv.setTypeface(phoneticFont);

I am using non-standard fonts for the browser in a .woff file. Let&#39;s say its &#39;awesome-font&#39; stored in a file &#39;awesome-font.woff&#39;.

I&#39;m teaching a jr. high/high school web programming class, and we&#39;re starting with simple elements and attributes like font and color before moving on to CSS. I know color is deprecated and font is not included in HTML5, but for teaching purposes, I find it convenient to start with simple HTML tags and work our way up to CSS. The students get a lot of joy out of being able to change colors on a page during the first week of class. (I also teach them marquee and blink in week 1, but inform them that if they ever use them again, they will lose points). 

One of the students started submitting homework with odd things in the color attribute values, like &quot;Skittles&quot; or &quot;Spiderman&quot;. I started experimenting with this and discovered that just about anything you put into the color=&quot;&quot; attribute on the font tag produces some sort of color. And it appears that the color is consistent across the latest versions of IE, Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and Safari.

I have discovered that putting &quot;LuckyCharms&quot; in as a CSS color DOES NOT WORK. It only seems to work where colors are expected in HTML attributes, for example font color=&quot;LuckyCharms&quot;, or body bgcolor=&quot;LuckyCharms&quot;.

I&#39;m trying to explain to my class why this happens, and so far I haven&#39;t been able to make sense of it, or to Google a good answer. It would appear that it&#39;s being interpreted as a color code, but I can&#39;t make sense of how.

***UPDATE:*** After some trial and error, I have determined a 5-step algorithm (using the link provided) to convert pretty much any string into the corresponding hex color. I will provide the algorithm here for the edification of future visitors:

 1. Change each non-hex character to a 0.
 2. Add 0&#39;s to the string until its length is a multiple of 3.
 3. Divide string into 3 equal parts.
 4. While the length of the sub-strings is greater than 2, and all three of the sub-strings begin with a 0, remove the leading 0s from each string.
 5. If the length of the sub-strings is still greater than 2, then truncate each substring to 2 characters.

That&#39;s it, put the substrings together and you&#39;ve got your hex color code. I have verified this algorithm with about 20 different samples and compared the results using the Firefox ColorZilla add-on color picker.

Note that in this case, the rules ARE indeed specifically stated in the link specified in one of the answers and will be adhered to by all browsers. So it is something you can count on to work in any browser (should you really want to use funny color names).

Why do weird things in font color attribute produce real colors?

Given that Twitter Bootstrap is designed to be responsive / device-friendly, why doesn&#39;t it use relative font sizes?

Why does Twitter Bootstrap Use Pixels for Font Size?

I would like to scale a `Bitmap` to a runtime dependant width and height, where the aspect ratio is maintained and the `Bitmap` fills the entire width and centers the image vertically, either cropping the excess or filling in the gap with 0 alpha pixels.

I&#39;m currently redrawing the bitmap myself by creating a `Bitmap` of all 0 alpha pixels and drawing the image `Bitmap` on top of it, scaling to the exact specified width and maintaining the aspect ratio, however, it ends up losing/screwing up the pixel data.

Here is how I&#39;m doing it:

    Bitmap background = Bitmap.createBitmap((int)width, (int)height, Config.ARGB_8888);
    float originalWidth = originalImage.getWidth(), originalHeight = originalImage.getHeight();
    Canvas canvas = new Canvas(background);
    float scale = width/originalWidth;
    float xTranslation = 0.0f, yTranslation = (height - originalHeight * scale)/2.0f;
    Matrix transformation = new Matrix();
    transformation.postTranslate(xTranslation, yTranslation);
    transformation.preScale(scale, scale);
    canvas.drawBitmap(originalImage, transformation, null);
    return background;

Is there a library out there or some better code that can do this better? I would like the image to look as crisp as possible, but I knew that my function wouldn&#39;t provide a great result.

I know I could have the image stay fine by using integer scaling, instead of float scaling, but I need the width to be 100% filled.

Also, I know about an `ImageView`&#39;s `Gravity.CENTER_CROP` capability, however, that also uses integer scaling, so it cuts off the width of the image when it shouldn&#39;t.

A little background.

Very big monolithic Django application. All components use the same database. We need to separate services so we can independently upgrade some parts of the system without affecting the rest. 

We use RabbitMQ as a broker to Celery.

Right now we have two options:

 1. HTTP Services using a REST interface.
 2. JSONRPC over AMQP to a event loop service

My team is leaning towards HTTP because that&#39;s what they are familiar with but I think the advantages of using RPC over AMQP far outweigh it.

AMQP provides us with the capabilities to easily add in load balancing, and high availability, with guaranteed message deliveries. 

Whereas with HTTP we have to create client HTTP wrappers to work with the REST interfaces, we have to put in a load balancer and set up that infrastructure in order to have HA etc.

With AMQP I can just spawn another instance of the service, it will connect to the same queue as the other instances and bam, HA and load balancing.

Am I missing something with my thoughts on AMQP?

I want to have a website where I can upload images of different sizes to be displayed in a jquery slider.
I can&#39;t seem to fit (scaling down) the image in a containing div. Here&#39;s how I&#39;m intending to do it

    &lt;!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC &quot;-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN&quot; &quot;http://www.w3.org    /TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd&quot;&gt;
    &lt;html xmlns=&quot;http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot;&gt;
    &lt;head&gt;
    &lt;meta http-equiv=&quot;Content-Type&quot; content=&quot;text/html; charset=utf-8&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Untitled Document&lt;/title&gt; 
    &lt;link rel=&quot;stylesheet&quot; type=&quot;text/css&quot; href=&quot;Imtest.css&quot;/&gt;
    &lt;/head&gt;

    &lt;body&gt;

    &lt;div id=&quot;wrapper&quot;&gt; 

    &lt;div id=&quot;im&quot;&gt;&lt;img src=&quot;Images/Scarpa2_1.jpg&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

    &lt;/div&gt;  
    &lt;/body&gt;
    &lt;/html&gt;

And the CSS

    #wrapper {
        width: 400px;
        height: 400px;
        border: 2px black solid;
        margin: auto;
    }

    #im {
        max-width: 100%;
    }
	
I&#39;ve tried to set the max-width of my image to 100% in CSS. But that doens&#39;t work.

I want to have an inline svg element&#39;s contents scale when size is non-native. Of course I could have it as a separate file and scale it like that.

index.html: `&lt;img src=&quot;foo.svg&quot; style=&quot;width: 100%;&quot; /&gt;`

foo.svg: `&lt;svg width=&quot;123&quot; height=&quot;456&quot;&gt;&lt;/svg&gt;`

However, I want to add additional styles to the SVG thru CSS, so linking an external one is not an option. How do I make an inline SVG scale?

I am attempting to use vector drawables in my Android app.  From http://developer.android.com/training/material/drawables.html (emphasis mine):

&gt; In Android 5.0 (API Level 21) and above, you can define vector drawables, **which scale without losing definition.**

Using this drawable:

    &lt;vector xmlns:android=&quot;http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android&quot;
    android:height=&quot;24dp&quot;
    android:width=&quot;24dp&quot;
    android:viewportWidth=&quot;24&quot;
    android:viewportHeight=&quot;24&quot;&gt;
    &lt;path android:fillColor=&quot;@color/colorPrimary&quot; android:pathData=&quot;M14,20A2,2 0 0,1 12,22A2,2 0 0,1 10,20H14M12,2A1,1 0 0,1 13,3V4.08C15.84,4.56 18,7.03 18,10V16L21,19H3L6,16V10C6,7.03 8.16,4.56 11,4.08V3A1,1 0 0,1 12,2Z&quot; /&gt;
&lt;/vector&gt;

and this ImageView:

    &lt;ImageView
        android:layout_width=&quot;400dp&quot;
        android:layout_height=&quot;400dp&quot;
        android:src=&quot;@drawable/icon_bell&quot;/&gt;

produces this blurry image when attempting to display the icon at 400dp (on a largish high-res circa 2015 mobile device running lollipop):

[![blurryBellIcon][1]][1]


  [1]: http://i.stack.imgur.com/ELOQi.png

Changing the width and height in the definition of the vector drawable to 200dp significantly improves the situation at the 400dp rendered size.  However, setting this as a drawable for a TextView element (i.e. icon to the left of the text) now creates a huge icon.

My questions:

1) Why is there a width/height specification in the vector drawable?  I thought the entire point of these is that they scale up and down losslessly making width and height meaningless in its definition?

2) Is it possible to use a single vector drawable which works as a 24dp drawable on a TextView but scales up well to use as much larger images too?  E.g. how do I avoid creating multiple vector drawables of different sizes and instead use one which scales to my rendered requirements?

3) How do I effectively use the width/height attributes and what is the difference with viewportWidth/Height?

Additional details:

 - Device is running API 22
 - Using Android Studio v1.5.1 with Gradle version 1.5.0
 - Manifest is compile and target level 23, min level 15.  I&#39;ve also tried moving min level to 21, but this made no difference.
 - Decompiling the APK (with min level set to 21) shows a single XML resource in the drawable folder.  No rasterized images are produced.
