Yet another site falls victim to CSSWG’s absolutely asinine, entirely indefensible idea to make centered flexbox items in a too-small container clip and become completely inaccessible on the left side. Anyone who says flexbox “solved” centering hasn’t been paying attention. It blows my mind that this is the “best” (or at least most ubiquitous) layout engine in existence. Edit: to be more constructive, can anyone offe…

`flex-wrap: wrap;`

and maybe, if you want, a `min-width` on the boxes themselves

Earlier quoted context omitted.

a specific example: https://looo.lol/?x=666

Or https://looo.lol/?x=1 , https://looo.lol/?x=2 , or https://looo.lol/?x=-1 (good luck!), or https://looo.lol/?x=10...0 ("Infinity", if you replace the ellipsis with 306 zeroes or so).

I'd love to see twos complement representation added

Wrapping is undesired, the linear presentation is critical here. And the box is the screen in this case, on a mobile one the highest order buttons are missing.

It’s sad that this had been up for so long with no real solutions. A genuine failure of the CSSWG.

If you don't want to think, do a binary search. Algo: * Start at the left most number * Click the number * If the result is higher than target click again to turn it off * Move right, back to step 2

Is that a binary search (other than literally being a binary search)?

For a proper binary search you should right nextdigit+first digit/2, if you're going backwards.

I'd love to use this tool with my high school CS class, but the "suggestive" numbers would, unfortunately, prevent me. Great concept and well implemented! -specifically, some of the first few numbers are 69 and 80085

Why. 69 is a number, if your students happen to find it amusing surely that's good?
