The Importance of Native Randomness in CSS | CSS-Tricks

We're getting new functions for generating random numbers in CSS! But the road to get here has been a long and winding one.

A single function to build all basic operations?

eml(x,y) = exp(x) - ln(y)

Also; Sabine seems to have new hair.

New #tutorial just dropped 🚀

We kept rewriting the same #workflow chunks logic… so we #fixed it.

This one is about #Lambda Workflows:
→ reuse parts of your workflows
→ pass inputs
→ get outputs

Basically… workflows that act like #functions.
This one feels like a big step forward 😄

v0.2.2 is live → would love your #feedback 🙌

P.S.Villar et al. (2026) studied #evolutionary aspects of the #copulatoryorgan in #male #octopuses and describe it as #multifunctional organ that performs two key #functions: the #hectocotylus is a specialized tentacle that delivers #spermatophores into the #female's #mantlecavity. But the authors identified it also as #chemotactile #receptor for #progesterone during #materecognition.

Native Random Values in CSS

The CSS Working Group has published the Values and Units Module Level 5, which introduces native mechanisms for generating random content using only CSS. This is the tl;dr of a longer article exploring randomness in CSS. :: Blog post at Alvaro Montoro's Personal Website.

Why doesn't #Mathematica simplify sinh(arccosh(x))? Because apparently, it takes a PhD in #Trigonometry, a magnifying glass, and a deep existential crisis to venture into that rabbit hole. 🤔🔍 Just when you thought it was all about cosines and sines, hyperbolics crash the party and demand their own dissertation. 📚🎉

Why Mathematica does not simplify Sinh[ArcCosh[x]]

When Mathematica seems to not to know how to simplify an expression, it may be doing the right thing, being more sophisticated than you expect.
