It would be better if the year started in March [1]—as it once did [2]: • The names of months would fit with their numbers: 7 = September, 8 = October, 9 = November, 10 = December • The seasons would fit neatly into the year (vs. the year starting during winter or summer).

CSS basics

I asked a #CSS question on Reddit: Flexbox: Trying to make sense of “content” vs. “items” With grid, the distinction seems clear: • “Content” means “outside grid cells”. • “Items” means “inside grid cells”. Flexbox: • align-content and align-items follow this pattern. • justify-content doesn’t and should be called justify-items(?) https://www.reddit.com/r/css/comments/1o5o5c8/flexbox_trying_to_make_sense_of_content_vs_items/

We care about your privacy: We worry that you have too much of it.

#CSS thought: Currently, you can configure both default font size and default page zoom in browsers. I’m wondering if it shouldn’t be only page zoom. Two benefits: • Arguably more intuitive: “Make things bigger!” • Using px (which I find more intuitive than rem) wouldn’t have downsides anymore.

#CSS—I can’t make these behave differently for grid layout: justify-content: normal; justify-content: stretch; I’ve read somewhere that `stretch` is like `normal` but does not scale proportionally. However, that does not seem to be true: They seem to be exactly alike.

#Markdown: Is there a way to get GitHub to change how they handle this one detail of tables? Currently, pipes must be escaped inside backticks: | f\|oo | |-------------| | b `\|` az | | b **\|** im | It’s frustrating: • I find it problematic that backticks behave differently depending on whether they are used in a table or elsewhere. • Some Markdown implementations follow what GitHub does, others don’t.
