Web Designs That Feel Like Ancient History, but Are More Recent Than You Think
12.12.2018
Flickr announced not long ago that they are limiting free accounts to 1,000 photos. I don't particularly mind that (because it seems like sound business sense), although it is a bit sad that a ton of photos will be nuked from the internet.

If you've been writing JavaScript for some time now, it's almost certain you've written some scripts dealing with the Document Object Model (DOM).

CSS Selectors are Conditional Statements

Raketa Falcon 9 spadla do moře, náklad ale letí k ISS
6.12.2018
Porucha hydraulického čerpadla znemožnila přistání nosného stupně rakety Falcon 9. Spadl do moře kousek od Mysu Canaveral, podle tweetu Elona Muska stále vysílá data a neměl by být vážně poškozen. Náklad v modulu Dragon však míří dál k ISS

Sayonara Edge
4.12.2018
Sounds like Edge is going to spin down EdgeHTML, the engine that powers edge, and go with Chromium. It's not entirely clear as I write whether the browser will still be called Edge or not. Opera did this same thing in 2013. We'll surely be seeing much more information about this directly from...

27.7.2018
Martijn Cuppens (the same fella with the very weird div!) has some more irresistible CSS trickery. Three of the examples are about making a child element trigger an event on a parent element (almost like the magic that is :focus-within).
Here's how I reasoned it out to myself:
