Remove First Line of a String

```
str.replace(/.*/, '').substr(1)
```

Needed this one today…

// javascript // regex // strings

Tab Timer

```
<title id=t></title>
```
```
<script>
```
```
  st = Date.now()
```
```
  setInterval(_ => {
```
```
    s = Date.now() - st
```
```
    t.innerHTML = 
```
```
      ~~(s/6e4)+':'+(~~(s/1e3)%60)
```
```
  }, 500)
```
```
</script>
```

I speed coded this recently to put a timer in a brower tab.

Have a look at it here in a new tab…

Obviously this is pretty odd – but it does work for my purposes 😉

// animation // canvas // javascript // math // speed-coded

Get the milliseconds

```
console.log(+new Date());
```
```
console.log(Date.now());
```

At some point I got in the habit of doing +new Date(). Not entirely sure why, Date.now() is the clear choice. I guess maybe Date.now() is newer…

confirmed… it is new, doesn’t work in much older browsers…

Some speed coded dots that gravitate to the center of the screen and occasionally change direction.
