University of Toronto ☛ My "time to full crawl" (vague) metric
Since there are only so many things to render to HTML, this on disk cache has a maximum size that it stabilizes at; given enough time, everything gets visited and thus winds up in the disk cache of rendered HTML. The render disk cache lives in its own directory hierarchy, and so I can watch its size with a simple 'du -hs' command. Since I delete the entire cache every so often, this gives me an indicator that I can call either "time to full cache" or "time to full crawl". The time to full cache is how long it typically takes for the cache to reach maximum size, which is how long it takes for everything to be visited by something (or actually, used to render a URL that something visited).

Jason W Comeau ☛ The Undeniable Utility Of CSS :has
One of these new features is the :has pseudo-class. And, honestly, I wasn’t sure how useful it would be for me. I mostly build webapps using React, which means I tend not to use complex selectors. Would the :has pseudo-class really offer much benefit in this context?
Well, I’ve spent the past few months rebuilding this blog, using all of the modern CSS bells and whistles. And my goodness, I was wrong about :has. It’s an incredibly handy utility, even in a CSS-in-JS context!
