The Different Ways to Select <html> in CSS | CSS-Tricks

Sure, we can select the <html> element in CSS with, you know, a simple element selector, html. But what other (trivial and perhaps useless) ways can we do it?

I don't get paid a dime to dj or run a community radio station, so I'm entitled to sit on the fence.

Событийный цикл в asyncio: как Python-код работает поверх механизмов Linux

Большая статья для тех, кто, как и я, споткнулся об asyncio и так не разгадал до конца "магию" событийного цикла. Попробовал распутать этот клубок через подробный рассказ (в как можно более доступной форме) о внутренних механизмах Линукса и самого asyncio, которые лежат в основе событийного. К концу статьи, надеюсь, магия исчезнет, а останется ясное понимание фундамента. Погружаемся

Focus Rings With Nested “contrast-color()”?, by @davatron5000:

Focus rings with nested contrast-color()?

As I was playing around with contrast-color(), I got a wild idea that you could use contrast-color() to invert its return value by nesting it: contrast-color(contrast-color(var(--some-color)). When would this be useful? Uh… Good question. I couldn’t come up with an example right away but after a bit I found one sitting right under my nose….

The new ::search-text pseudo (Chrome 144) matches are yellow while the current target (::search-text:current) is orange, but ::search-text enables us to change that.

Custom Properties: Questioning “:root” · Jens Oliver Meiert

For custom properties (aka CSS variables) we got into the habit of declaring variables in a rule with a <code>:root</code> selector. Yet unless you’re working in an environment in which style sheets serve several document types (and roots), question this use of <code>:root</code>.
