British English has at least two pronunciations of money that I know of, /mʌni/ and /mʊni/

The former is the most common way for Americans to pronounce it, and matches the mouth shape of ah, and the latter, while not common in the US, also matches the ah mouth shape. I really don't know how yesenadam is pronouncing it such that his mouth doesn't take the ah shape.

You can’t trust setInterval to heed your request precisely at all: it’s a request that browsers take as a minimum only. Most browsers will call your function after the number of mi…

Update: performance.now() will generally get you ~20µs precision now: https://blog.mozilla.org/security/2018/01/03/mitigations-lan...

Also I neglected to mention other frame rates; 60fps is the most common, but you do get some 144fps devices, where you’ll be looking at about 7ms delays rather than 16ms.
