Kotlin Coroutines and Delay
Whenever I suspect that there's a timing conflict causing a problem with rendering and directives, I usually opt for a JavaScript setTimeout
with a delay. The setTimeout
code never makes it to production, but it does help me to understand if my code is the problem or if there's a timing conflict.
In working with Kotlin on Android, I've needed to employ the same technique. Kotlin obviously doesn't have a setTimeout
, but it does have coroutines to achieve approximately the same effect.
To run an async coroutine with delay, you can use the following Kotlin code:
// Create an async coroutine
GlobalScope.launch {
delay(1000)
// Execute code to test functionality
}
The coroutine becomes async and the delay can be whatever amount of milliseconds you'd like!
CSS cubes really showcase what CSS has become over the years, evolving from simple color and dimension directives to a language capable of creating deep, creative visuals. Add animation and you've got something really neat. Unfortunately each CSS cube tutorial I've read is a bit...

Missing images on your website can make you or your business look completely amateur.
Unfortunately sometimes an image gets deleted or corrupted without your knowledge.
You'd agree with me that IE's default "red x" icon looks awful, so why not use
your own missing image graphic?
