Did you know that you can easily debug starting-style CSS at-rules in Chrome DevTools? 🏁

In the Elements Panel, find the element where the starting-style is applied, then click on the (starting-style) label to show the values in DevTools. 🔥

Have you already used the Starting Style at-rule?

Would that they had, would that they had…

He obviously wouldn’t care about the game, but it would rub his ego soooooo wrong… 🥰

Yikes… Yeah, likely to be a lot of confusion on this one for a short time, til people adjust… I think Flexbox went through a bit, too, right? I heard a really good point on a Kevin Powell show recently, that the new name should be a good things, as it should make finding proper docs easier… 😬

At a very young age I was corrected for writing the word "colonel" as "kernel", and thinking how the correct spelling made no sense... Just tried writing my name phonetically and came up with "air-in tee grawg". Now considering changing my to that spelling... 😊Or maybe just grabbing the domain name?

Love this, so useful, and so “no JS”! 🥰

Like the minimalism, good color contrast… 😉

Oh that is nice!! Also madly in love with the “new tab to the right” when right-clicking a tab… 🤩

And actually, couldn’t a media query evaluate (content width < screen width)?
(Sorry for the pseudo code, can’t remember all the new units right now…)

Not that I know of… Is using JS an option? If so, maybe comparing window width and html width or similar?

We are determined to make it so. The @unbreaking.org team has been working since the beginning to stand up a page focused on Archives & History. Our timeline (unbreaking.org/issues/archi...) and debrief (unbreaking.org/blog/this-we...) were just published today.

The latest installment in my "Today's Readings" series, offering my rants and thoughts based on findings from around the world-wide web, including Chrome, CSS, DevTools, Geolocation, Google, HTML, Polyfills, Progressive Enhancement, Safari, Scroll-Drive Animation and more. Happy reading!

Quick, fun, spontaneous update to a small project, adding a CSS conic-gradient to serve as a background for the hero image.

Un-fucking-real.. the priorities…

Don’t know why they have to try to be so cutesy… Either make sci-fi or a rom-com; you can’t have both… 🙄

Only time I have ever hoped for an infinite scroll…

Alabama uses Japanese American Internment era law to charge immigrants who don’t self-register Alabama is finding new ways to criminally charge undocumented immigrants

Do we need to say it louder? Here. Louder.

And what in the WORLD is this all about??? Are we REALLY that desperate for oil???

Madness. This is fucking madness… This country has fallen so low, so fast… How can it ever recover any semblance of stability or trust???
