The five essentials that will make or break your CSS artworks https://designtaxi.com/news/403658/UI-Engineer-Behind-Popular-CSS-Paintings-Shows-You-How-To-Create-Your-Own/

The CSS Working Group agreed this morning on adding many math functions. We now have:

• asin()
• atan()
• atan2()
• hypot()
• sqrt()
• pow()

@brandontroberts @markgoho it is CLEAN, man 👍🏿and ngx-markdown sounds cool!

also, you got two challenges going forward (just like me):

• what to do when your index file gets too huge

I saw a guy at Starbucks today.

No iPhone.

No tablet.

No laptop.

He just sat there.

Drinking coffee.

Like a Psychopath.

In an attempt to reduce mental overhead, and increase focus on the things that matter, I'm disabling direct messages and limiting communication to email, video chat, and, yes I'm one of those people, the phone.
