Chrome 145 adds column-wrap and column-height, so a multi-column container can push overflow content down to a new row instead of off the right edge. Here is how the two properties behave and where Grid or masonry still fits better.
Most visual UI state does not need JavaScript. This is the radio state machine: radio inputs plus :has() and :checked driving toggles, panels and swatches in WordPress and WooCommerce, without breaking keyboard or screen reader access.
The View Transitions API is Baseline now, so smooth page transitions in WordPress no longer need a PJAX library. Includes the opt-in rule, four CSS recipes, and the race condition that makes them look janky.
Matplotlib draws a smooth curve as hundreds of straight segments. Orthogonal distance fitting fits Bezier curves to the same function instead, so a chart that shipped as 250+ segments comes out as two.
Most sites do not need to go headless. This walks through when the architecture is worth it, how your rendering choice (SSG, SSR or ISR) changes the hosting you need, and what to check on the WordPress backend before you commit.
How I stopped managing calendar range styling in JavaScript. The :nth-child(of) syntax plus the sibling combinator handles the highlight in CSS, leaving JS to do nothing but keep two checkboxes in sync.
Cascade layers, the :is() pseudo-class and selector doubling all settle specificity conflicts without !important. Plus the few cases, like utility classes and accessibility overrides, where !important is still the right call.

The CSS shape function replaces the SVG and clip-path hacks used for wavy dividers and blob shapes. How the curve commands and control points work, and why a fixed command count is what lets the browser animate between two shapes.
Native @mixin is under discussion, an SVG favicon can follow the user’s color scheme on its own, and object-view-box has been cropping images in Chrome since 2022. Notes on what each one replaces.
