🟣 CSS Quick Tip

:where() is a unique modern CSS selector because it is always zero specificity. That means we can use it to set sensible defaults that are overrideable.

The example demo'd can be overridden with ul {} or ol {}, no need to also include the attribute.

The difference between `any` and `unknown` in #TypeScript:

any = “I don’t care”
unknown = “I don’t know”

Prefer `unknown` over `any`. Why? Because `unknown` requires narrowing the type before it can be used.

any ignores types. 👎
unknown requires type narrowing before use. 👍

How to figure out what ports are open on a machine when you don't have netstat or lsof: cat /proc/net/tcp and /proc/net/udp, first column is local information, value after the colon is port number in hex.

Tip: Font size isn’t always the best way to emphasize text. Try font color and font weight instead. h/t @steveschoger
