background-clip is one of those properties I've known about for years, but rarely used. Maybe just a couple of times as part of a solution to a Stack Overflow question. Until last year, when I started creating my huge collection of sliders. Some of the designs I chose to reproduce were a bit more complex and I only had one element available per slider, which happened to be an input element, meaning that I couldn't even use pseudo-elements on it. Even though that does work in certain browsers, the fact that it works is actually a bug and I didn't want to rely on that. All this meant I ended up using backgrounds, borders, and shadows a lot. I also learned a lot from doing that and this article shares some of those lessons.

The missing scope - Tenant-Singleton

If a singleton is created once per application, you can probably guess that a tenant-singleton is created once per tenant.

So when might you need this scope? Think of any object that is expensive to create or needs to maintain state yet should be isolated for each tenant. Good examples would be NHibernate's Session Factory, RavenDB's Document Store or ASP.NET's Memory Cache.
