I made this floating-scrollbar #CSS demo as the result of a discussion we had in today’s Front-End Study Hall: https://codepen.io/editor/meyerweb/pen/01a0b0bd-0100-750d-8c24-745f6318896d I don’t know if it’s actually a good idea to do something like this (probably not), and it has a few styling limitations (no drop shadows or glows), but it was interesting to try to hit a design brief with clipping paths and the relatively new `shape()` value.

Has webkit ever kept CSS features under wraps until after an Apple product announcement?

A day spent exploring Infinity in mutisets rewriting systems. Picked by Cantor for the first infinite ordinal number, infinity is expressed as the letter Omega, ω. It indicates the limit of the sequence of natural numbers 1, 2, 3, 4.. For example, apple^ω means an infinity of apples. Infinity is a saturating value, no finite quantity can be added to or removed from it. wiki.xxiivv.com

And maybe you won't get to 100% coverage, but this is the old joke about Microsoft Office. "I only use 5%." Yeah, well, we all use a different 5%. Well, what if we all just build our own 5%? What if I just took the functionality that I need and just did that? That is a completely different challenge and one agents are incredibly capable of doing right now, today, and I've done it a lot of times over.

I’m a lot better at CSS than I was when I started using Tailwind
Ultimately Tailwind is limiting: if you want to do Weird Stuff in your CSS, it’s not always possible with Tailwind. Those limits can be extremely useful (a lot of this post is about me reimplementing some of Tailwind’s limits!) but at this point I’d like to be able to pick and choose.

What is a korrent?
A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.
Got it
About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
Got it
