If you're genuinely curious, The CSS Zen Garden[1] is a great testimony of what people was able to accomplish with the the limitations of CSS2 while keeping support for IE6. That meant: A limited number of fonts, 1 channel transparency

I often edit the description of an issue in linear just to breakdown the task using "markdown" checkboxes. In my mind: issues should correspond to a pull request and checkboxes to commits.

In Spanish we also use "cancel" as gate or fence.

But isn't that the point? If your location doesn't matter you could live somewhere with a garden because you wouldn't be forced to live near the arbitrary location of the office.

Oh I remember the old Joyent website. It had a great design, I visited it pretty much everyday just for the design and the illustrations. Then, one day it became corporatish and soulless and a great corner of the internet lost its beauty.

In spanish* we have a word: "emparejado" which means a door is not open but not quite closed. It appears closed, but it's not. Maybe we should use "emparejado-source" :) * Maybe it's just a mexicanism, IDK.
