  3. Got to hear #acting #coaching client's voice almost quaver just as they hit a key piece in the material because they got more specific with it, and the depth there was beautiful to encounter. Specificity almost always beat vague generality. #ActingCoach #ActingCoaching #actors #voice #specificity

  7. Re: Affordances and Lean CSS

    Stephen Margheim (fractaledmind) wrote Affordances: The Missing Layer in Frontend Architecture this month. This quick post is my reply to his great article. I hear the objection already: “Isn’t this just… semantic CSS classes? We tried that.” You’re right that we tried it. But “it didn’t work” deserves unpacking. I was indeed objecting that in my mind. But I was not thinking, "it didn't work." I was thinking, "and it has kept working for decades. Obviously the utility-only workflow described is terrible; it's why I refuse to choose Tailwind. How are affordances better than what's worked for a decade?" […]

  9. I'm of the opinion that the #cascade was a mistake, for the same reason that #OOP was a mistake; #inheritance is too implicit. How much time have we wasted with things like #CSS resets, !important, #BEM, etc just faffing about with #specificity trying to make styles apply? For what? A few bytes of duplication?

Wherever it came from, as far as I can see, it's obviously manufactured. #Complexity #Specificity #Mobility #PandemicTaskForceDisbanded #MurderByTrump

  14. :has is an unforgiving selector css-tricks.com/has-is-an-unfor is an unforgiving selector"

    A little thing happened on the way to publishing the CSS :has() selector to the ol’ Almanac. I had originally described :has() as a “forgiving” selector, the idea being that anything in its argument is evaluated, even if one or more of the items is invalid. See ::scoobydoo in there? That’s totally invalid. A forgiving […]

  16. Various features of #parasites and #hosts may influence the #likelihood of #evolutionary transitions of parasites between #freshwater and #marine environments and vice versa. These include: parasite location (endoparasitism > ectoparasitism); #life cycle #complexity (simple > complex); host #specificity (#generalist > #specialist); transmission mode (#trophic > #environmental) doi.org/10.1093/icb/icac050 #EvolutionaryBiology #Paleobiology #Paleontology
