58 bytes of CSS to look great nearly everywhere

When making this website, i wanted a simple, reasonable way to make it look good on most displays. Not counting any minimization techniques, the following 58 bytes worked well for me:

main {
  max-width: 38rem;
  padding: 2rem;
  margin: auto;
}

What forces layout / reflow

All of the below properties or methods, when requested/called in JavaScript, will trigger the browser to synchronously calculate the style and layout*. This is also called reflow or layout thrashing, and is common performance bottleneck.

Generally, all APIs that synchronously provide layout metrics will trigger forced reflow / layout. Read on for additional cases and details.

Element APIs

Getting box metrics

• elem.offsetLeft, elem.offsetTop, elem.offsetWidth, elem.offsetHeight, elem.offsetParent

So you want to accept payments online with PHP?

- Well, you probably don't want to handle that process manually. Too dangerous and risky.
- So learn the Stripe API. Works great!
- But you'll still need to setup SSL. So go learn how to do that.
- Stripe provides a PHP package, so download that through Composer. If you're not familiar with Composer, you'll need to learn that too.
- If you want the most flexibility, you'll want to manually create the payment form.
- So you'll need to send an AJAX request with a special token to Stripe's API. jQuery makes this easy, so go learn jQuery.
- Once the payment completes, you'll likely want to send the buyer a "Purchased" email, so learn how to send email.
- But don't make the user wait for the email to send. That takes too long. Add that to a background job.
