.extra-stuff {

}
}
That's...

Pseudo Code
23.7.2019
Yonatan Doron wrote a post on Medium not long ago called "Art of Code — Why you should write more Pseudo Code." Love that title, as a fan of pseudo code myself. That is, writing "code" that describes something you want to do or communicate, but that isn't of any particular language and doesn't...
Zoom, CORS, and the Web
23.7.2019

There is this idea of custom protocols or "URL schemes." So, like gittower:// or dropbox:// or whatever. A native app can register them, then URLs that hit them...

Say you want to select an element when it doesn't have a certain class. That's what the :not() selector is for.
