CSS Custom Props Good Practice
First off, I recently found out that local custom properties in CSS can be inherited by child elements, and I’m honestly blown away 🤯.
Second, I have a CodePen with a snippet that illustrates my question. Is it considered best practice to set custom properties on elements and then modify their values with inline styles? Everywhere I look, people advise against inline styles, so now I’m unsure if this case is an exception or if there’s a better approach.
I set
--_hue: 10 local custom props inside .card element, then i changed the colors of the two others elements with inline-styles

REST API and RESTful API are the same thing?
if not, what’s the difference? Are they both idempotent? both send stateless requests? or those are not the differences?

JS Garbage Collector
In js, primitive values don't get garbage collected, right? but if a object is set in the global scope, do they get garbage collected?

Let's discuss the relative unit 'em'
I can't wrap my head around the concept of 'em'. Actually, the hole concept of spacing using units relative to the font-size is difficult for me.
Let's take a default example: responsive padding of a button.
Setting the padding of this button to use 'em' will make it relative to the font-size of the closer parent element, right?
Well, what I don't understand is, what if this parent element is a 'div', or some other elements which we do not set font-sizes?
By default, shouldn't they have the root font-size '16px'? If so, what makes it different from using the unit 'rem'? Or should i set a font-size to these elements as well?
articles, kevin’s videos and others sources to help me understand this concept is more than welcome
