Metastability is not a barrier to discovery: despite all 54 evaluated chalcohalides sitting above the convex hull, proximity-based screening successfully guided the first-ever synthesis of the novel semiconductor $\text{Sn}_2\text{InS}_2\text{Br}_3$.

Navigating the zoo of DFT functionals just got easier: this review provides a unified framework for understanding semi-local exchange-correlation approximations, consolidating historical developments and recent advances.
