A massive problem today is the uneven distribution of shame. Some of us are running dedicated on-site shame servers 24/7 while others have no access to shame at all, even though they desperately need it. What we need to do is put shame in the cloud

Computing cos(25deg) in CSS An answer to a headscratcher Tyler Gaw (and Chris Coyier) ran into โ€ฆ

Custom Properties compute before they inherit ... and by registering a custom property with a certain syntax, CSS knows what to compute it to ... but if you don't register it, it can't be computed โ€ฆ so then you inherit the declared value.

See www.bram.us/2024/07/01/c... for more details.

Some trees grow downwards as much as they grow upwards. Some trees grow in clusters. Some trees build a sprawling state-sized network of shared nutrients and warning systems with other trees.

what a nice exposition on โ€œgrowthโ€

An intro to manual slot assignment โ€“ Nathan Knowler Exploring more powerful Shadow DOM composition using manual slot assignment.

We have a `slotted()` template directive in FAST that we use to filter and stash slotted children in an element property e.g. Tablist can only has Tab as children. Anyways, I hadn't looked into how it works (arcane magicks?) but under the hood it's just assignedNodes w/ slotchange. Neat.

Great post by @knowler.dev looking at the underused `assignedNodes()` feature of the `<slot>` element to manually assign specific elements to a specific slot.

Screenshot of the following CSS as an example of how to customize find-in-page:
:root::search-text {
  background: yellow;
}

:root::search-text:current {
  color: white;
  background: olive;
  text-decoration: underline;
}

aside::search-text {
  background: magenta;
}

aside::search-text:current {
  background: darkmagenta;
}

You can now easily customize find-in-page with the new ::search-text pseudo-element, that is shipping in Chromium 144.0.7547. ๐Ÿš€
