TIL about naming conventions for CSS named grid lines.
When you specify
grid-template-columns: [main-start] 1fr [content-start] 1fr [content-end] 1fr [main-end];
Then child elements can be aligned in a shorthand fashion — instead of specifying grid-column: content-start/content-end; you can specify grid-column: content <3

It allows us to do e.g.
git clone "gh:user/projects"
# instead of

Yet another serialization format: https://flatbuffers.dev/
A very unique one on top of that. Schema is compiled and baked into application as a code. Still it provides some flexibility to evolve schema without breaking existing applications(deprecating fields/identifiers instead of removing them). Can’t provide any benchmarks, but looking at structure it should be more efficient than JSON and msgpack. Extra compiler during build is a nuisance though.
