.container { display: flex; flex-direction: column; place-content: center; place-items: center; &:has(.image-card) { place-content: start; } }

:has() in CSS is so incredible. I was just writing a complicated thing to have an element try to mimic its container's size, etc. so I could mess with the layout for a specific configuration and then BAM :has(div) let me solve the whole problem by actually adjusting the container styles

love it

Such a lovely smile! Looks like an incredible adventure

I think it really depends on the project and org. Like npm is default from inertia but I don't think most of the open source maintainers I know feel a need to use npm and I certainly wouldn't either

Why not both

Arc on iOS. That explanation makes sense to me though. The text isn't long enough/the container can't become wide enough for balancing to make sense basically?

This section still needs a look I think. Great article though!

🛠️ New Interactive Article: Balancing Text In CSS

I explored text balancing in CSS — what it is, the problems it solves, how it works, and included plenty of examples and use cases. Happy balancing! ⚖️

This is a fun little trio:

```css
text-wrap: balance;
hyphens: auto;
hyphenate-limit-chars: 10;
```

Allowing hyphenation can help when balancing text. The last property sets the minimum length of hyphenated words to 10 characters which helps avoid undesirable hyphenation of smaller words.

It's truly a miracle that humanity survived for so long without fact checkers

Each line of the algorithm is derived from the game state for routes the player owns (plus the player's destination ticket cards in the last line).

If we had a way to capture that game state as data, we could then automate the rest of the process.

The thing is though, the game's board holds most of the state needed to calculate scores.

Let's imagine the algorithm for how a player's score is calculated:

points = routes points
points += has longest train ? 10 : 0
points += complete destinations - incomplete destinations

Ticket To Ride is a great game but the process can be kinda annoying:

- managing player route scores by moving pieces around the edge of a 31” x 20.75” board
- figuring out who gets the longest train bonus card (+10 points)
- adding/subtracting destination ticket card points

That third one looks like you're on the PM's security detail. He's in very good hands if he ever travels to the cloud

Introduce yourself with some jobs you've done apart from what you do

- vending machine attendant
- transitory location enumerator (US Census)
- dishwasher
- office coffee specialist
- Kroger store systems support

Omg they're actually for real adding code blocks soon? If so that's like a dream come true

Less bandwidth dedicated to that crap frees up bandwidth to see the purpose and meaning and goodness and beauty inherent in the world around me.

I have no idea if that relates to where you are with things ofc. I'm just "old man telling story"'ing with so of this. But if it does relate, I think there's a lot of value in analyzing and cleaning up your inputs. They can have a fatal influence on how you see and feel the world

Like there's only so much bandwidth available to your senses. If your systems are dedicated to processing a constant barrage of other people and other things elsewhere, dedicated to something so pointless and irrelevant to YOU in each moment, is it surprising that everything feels meaningless?

I've spent the last few years trying to create limits on the flow of things in my life. I check the news less often, I try (and fail) to be on social media as little as possible

Limits help me see that the more I escape the noise, the more I can actually see lots of things I couldn't before

Humans aren't meant to know what's happening everywhere else all the time either. Communication used to be slower, updates came only at certain intervals. There was only so much you could know about elsewhere, so it was easier to be present somewhere

Humans aren't meant to know what everyone else is thinking. The thoughts of others used to be limited to specific forums: conversation, newspaper, radio, speeches, etc.

The flow was limited so the attention and thought people gave it was limited

But now the dam has burst and we're drowning in it

I spent a very long time feeling nihilistic about everything, to the point that I was scared I'd never escape it. It's still a struggle sometimes especially when I fall into too much social media, it just naturally encourages proliferation of existential exhaustion.

Have you ever needed the CSS paint-order property?

Really handy when working with text-strokes!

Well look who it is
