“In an android web browser, if I have an autocomplete menu, and I click on one of the items, the click is registered on that item, but also seems to pass through to the elements behind it. For instance, a different text input was behind it, and became focused.”

Interesting Things

• Fixnum’s [] operator works! According to the ruby docs

  “Bit Reference—Returns the nth bit in the binary representation of fix, where fix is the least significant bit.”

  # 2:Fixnum in binary is 10, right? So…
  
  
  2[0] = 0
  2[1] = 1
  

  Also:

  a = 0b11001100101010
  30.downto(0) do |n| print a[n] end
  

  produces:

  0000000000000000011001100101010
