    its a pretty easy thing to spot if you do encounter it
  • r
    Oh my god someone wrote an article about this:
  • g
    me sneaking into apple to delete all copies of the safari source code
  • r
    Funny how the one browser that behaves itself doesnt have 
    text-size-adjust
    (firefox mobile) thankfully just ignores it.
  • g
    opinions
  • g
    Copy code
    css
.\^ { top:    0 }
.\> { right:  0 }
.\_ { bottom: 0 }
.\< { left:   0 }
  • r
    Would avoid 
    <
    and 
    >
    because that may trigger quirks mode in some browsers (they'll want to automatically close your quotes, and the tag.
  • r
    The others are probably fine though
  • r
    oof, that does kind of ruin the notion of what you're trying to achieve though, sorry
  • r
    Yeah... not sure. I would test it
  • r
    unsure if juice is worth the squeeze
  • g
    quirks mode is only triggered by missing/invalid doctype iirc
  • r
    I think the only way to be fully certain about using those 
    <>
    characters is to test in firefox, edge, chrome, safari, and their mobile counterparts. My world has been turned upside down from that too many times.

    Although we're super fortunate to not have to deal with IE anymore.
  • r
    bless carson for attempting to still support IE lol
  • r
    if you google "free cross browser testing" you can probably see for yourself in about 10 minutes.

    I like it for being wild. Tailwind uses 
    [
    and 
    ]
    extensively which they have to escape. I don't think I've ever had to escape a character in a CSS selector
  • g
    Tags and classes in code snippets on the missing.css website will link to where they are explained.
  • e
    not entirely sure its supposed to look like that
  • g
    thanks for reporting, it's fixed now

    This showdown ended up being really interesting
  • r
    The positioning tool from the video:
  • r
    oh shit that tool also allows you to edit text and do other things inline, like an art board.
  • r
    again for those who don't know, adam argyle is part of the w3c standards team at google, a bunch of his shit gets into the official CSS spec
  • c
    you know I'd say I've probably lost more than two complete days of my life ( and still counting ) to figuring out centering with css. I'm sure someone in history has already suggested everything in css should be centered by default? why doesn't that make sense? Then with positioning and size you just specify how you want it to deviate from the center. Kinda like every block or element is a pendulum hanging inside its parent and then you just peg its position 2%-from-left or 10px-from-right
  • r
    Tbh that would probably be more intuitive. It's something I've pondered in the past as well.
  • g
    the ideal css layout
  • c
    hahahaha
  • g
    the problem with css is that it does a lot of smart stuff, but at any given time only 50% of that is desired and it's a different 50% each time
