With other -webkit prefixes, if you have something like

transform: scale(2);-webkit-transform: scale(0.5);

the one that is higher in the cascade order (which for properties in the same declaration is the one that appears later) wins.

But as far as I can tell, none of those other prefixes properties have a behavior difference like with line-clamp, where the prefixed version has a dependence on other properties that isn't there in the unprefixed version.

Hey! CSS developers! I want to hear from you.

I'm improving the way line clamping works in Chrome and in the specs. The existing -webkit-line-clamp property is a mess, because it will only do something if you have other properties (which are legacy versions of flexbox properties), and we can't fix that because of web compat. But we can add a new line-clamp property without those issues!

But right now I'm dealing with what should happen if you have both properties set on the same element:

display: block;line-clamp: 3;-webkit-line-clamp: 4;

(Note that if we remove line-clamp: 3, this wouldn't clamp, because display: block prevents -webkit-line-clamp from working.)

So what do you think should happen?

Unfortunately, I was laid off yesterday 😱

I have over 20 years of experience as a software engineer, specializing in #Rust, #TypeScript, and #mobile development, particularly passionate about building scalable, high-performance backend systems and asynchronous network software.

I live in Portland OR and looking for a full time job in in the US.

If you know of any opportunities where my skills might be a good fit, I would greatly appreciate any leads or referrals.

Thank you for your support!

It really is sad that Rudy Giuliani will have to surrender his NYC apartment, 1980 Mercedes-Benz SL500, signed Reggie Jackson picture, signed Joe DiMaggio shirt and three Yankees World Series rings to the election workers he defamed. He deserves it, but it's still sad this man's life was ruined by his adoration for Trump and his lies.

2/ 2 valuable lessons. 1st is common thread among democracies that collapse into dictatorship is no one panicked til threat was already in power & was too late. That is why I have cont'd to pound my Paul Revere-style “fascists are coming!” campaign.
2nd I learned is constitution/law can only protect you if all parties agree to adhere to it

All you need to end a democracy is a leader willing to suspend or end Constit & supporting cast large enough to allow him to do it.

Republicans have both"

most excellent progress on seekrit project today, can shuffle around secure payloads of structured data and manipulate same.

starting to set up user inputs mean starting to set up sanitization of same, of course. and , that's the hard part: imagining all the weird things that can happen or be done.

that's always been the hard part about making a new machine happen: thinking through all the strange states it can get into...

A Penny

I have a killer business idea. I'm just going to take one penny from every bank account in the world. I'm not going to ask; you can't say no. It really won't affect you. You probably won't even notice, and even if you do, again, it will not affect you. What's a penny? Nothing. It will benefit me though. Big time.
