TIL that the Peace Sign, created in 1958 by Gerald Holtem, was made to mimic how sailors communicate via flag signals. The angle "N" stands for Nuclear and the line "D" stands for Disarmament.

Not sure I'd go quite that far myself, but I do take any opportunity to emphasise the "no links in titles" thing for my own sanity 😄

Not only that, my client shows expando links for each @ and # so it really clutters up the comment section.

position: sticky; top: 0;

O_O

I use this on a headline that scrolls normally, until it would leave the viewport at the top. It will just "stick" to it while the rest of the page continues scrolling.

I used to do stuff like this all the time, but it used to involve at least some amount of JavaScript to switch between static and fixed at the right moment. Now it works just like that :-)
