My guess (hope!) is that this is not ‘serious’ code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it’s possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).
It‘s used in Facebooks css. Remembered it from a nice article from Ahmad Shadeed. And while this limbo sure has some usefulness, it‘s way too obscure to use for the fun of it.
To add to this:
CSS really has come a long way. This border-radius example can be done with Container Queries by now, which has quite good support already.
Oh I missed this. I think it’s only here to showcase doing math between different units, which is really nice in my opinion. I’m thinking about a few instances where I had to resort to dirty JS hacks just because CSS did not support this at the time
They’re referring (I believe) to the screenshot right at the top of the article, which includes this absurd calculation:
border-radius: max (0px, min(8px, calc( (100vw - 4px - 100%) * 9999)) );My guess (hope!) is that this is not ‘serious’ code, but padding for the sake of a screenshot to demonstrate that it’s possible to use each of these different features (not that you should!).
