How to Redirect non-www to www in Apache →
In your Apache config file, set it up like:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName example.com
Redirect permanent / http://www.example.com/
</VirtualHost>
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName www.example.com
# real server configuration
</VirtualHost>
Now, the first <VirtualHost>
will redirect all non-www traffic to the second <VirtualHost>
configuration.

How to Use `@supports (display: contents)` Feature Query in Safari →
As CSS Grid adoption continues to rise, there are certain situations where a wrapping div prevents you from accessing the elements you want to use as grid items. In these cases, @supports (display: contents)
becomes a particularly valuable feature query.
Safari has technically supported display: contents
for a while now, but with one huge caveat — it only works with <slot>
elements. This becomes problematic when you want to use the feature query outside of <slot>
elements.
You can see it when we use this example by Rachel Andrew on Safari 11.0 and Safari 11.1 Technology Preview:

As you can see, @supports (display: contents)
is activating as true
on Safari 11.0 even though we wouldn't expect it to.
Thankfully, there's a workaround!
The upcoming release of Safari 11.1 also introduces a new CSS feature called caret-color
, which we can pair display: contents
together as a feature query to target only browsers that properly support display: contents
.
So instead of this:
@supports (display: contents) {
.container {
display: contents;
}
}
The best practice is to use this:
@supports (display: contents) and (caret-color: red) {
.container {
display: contents;
}
}

I've officially made the switch from Team Tabs to Team Spaces.
Feels refreshing and different. Like switching to a different type of underwear.
