I do of course know what it does and how it works, but I never felt inclined to use it. The child combinator (>) and the adjacent sibling combinator (+) for example are very useful (the child combinator is imo far more useful than the default-ish descendant combinator).
I sorta suspect they have just thrown the general sibling combinator into the mix, because it's fairly easy to implement. Or maybe just for the sake of completeness. Every other one-way relationship of nodes was already covered.
I can only think of some silly hacks and workarounds. I.e. cases where you cannot change the markup. But I can't think of an engineered/intentional scenario; something you created with that combinator in mind.

she's really crushed about this, it had all of her college application essays on it and a lot of important work.
submitted by throwawaylostnetbookI need an internship this summer in order to graduate. What is the best way to get an internship? Is it mostly about who you know, or is there a good website I can got to? I would love to be able to travel, preferably Europe, but is this feasible for an American without to much experience? Does anyone have any good resources, advice or contacts relating to that? I would love to hear any advice, or offers crosses fingers, that you guys have.
Edit: I guess I should be a little more specific about stuff. I am majoring in Design with an emphasis on Web. Right now I am ok with HTML/CSS, I know a little about Flash, enough to make banners and stuff with buttons, and I am taking a class with After Effects. I also have a tiny bit of programming knowledge (with python), but really only enough to hack things together, not really create to much. I would eventually like to get into UI design for web or software. I would like to intern somewhere where I can see interaction with clients and experience the workflow of making a website from beginning to end.
