One example: .rect{ margin-top:20px; height:50px; background:green; width:calc(100%-20px); } Here the left operand uses percentage while the right one ...

We aren't predisposed to using older, "venerated" technologies simply because they're older and venerated. But when it comes to high-performant computation, there's just nothing like C. S...
