"Ask first" works just fine when the question is "can I stick my hand down your pants?". It really isn't the social norm to do that without asking.

GitHub is not a company involved in the business of midwifing. They are a company involved in the business of software development. Is it not possible that the cultural imbalance in all of these fields is due to sexism?

You're right. It will be supported indefinitely through the gem - so neither officially deprecated or going away. However, since .sass is no longer the primary syntax (nor default for Rails), and it's not supported by any new development ef

by ddagradi 14y ago
Too late to edit anyways, but we're both right on this one. SCSS is a Sass syntax. ".scss" and ".sass" are both Sass files. Their docs tend to name the languages in titlecase, and the formats in all caps. That surely won't confuse anyone!

by ddagradi 14y ago
That syntax has been essentially deprecated for a while now. I think one of the most important aspects of SASS syntax is that any valid CSS3 file is a valid SASS file and compiles without error. This can't be true of the indented-syntax, wh

"The horse-and-buggy has been working perfectly for the last hundred years, why rebuild it from scratch?" Nothing is beyond disruption. Just because a technology is sufficiently functional doesn't mean there's no benefit to rethinking it.

It's not "5 lines", and it's not about "junior programmers". My designers need to work with my Rails apps, and learning the intricacies of setting up a Rails stack is not their job description. Just like maintaining their dev environment is

A bit of design advice: - Remove your logo from the header. Your users already pressed the icon on their homescreen to launch your app - they're not confused about what app they're looking at. - Settle for fewer textures. You have two disti

Part of the iPad's experience, and part of its success, is that it shares a common language with the iPhone. Removing the home button removes part of the easy transition from one device to the other. If an iPhone owner is thinking of buying

The iPad presents a unique problem though: you can use the iPad in any orientation. For example, when using it in landscape mode, the home button can be on either the far left or right: it's a huge moving target, and with a screen the siz

If Apple is getting rid of the Home button, there's a lot of complex interaction to account for: http://www.codinghorror.com/.a/6a0120a85dcdae970b0168e681447... Color me doubtful, though I'd love to be proven wrong. Lots of devices alread

Don't forget all the API changes that present themselves with each new major version. For example, Notifications, GameCenter and Twitter are all new core libraries on the Mac that are accessible to developers.

Given historical trends, the stock will probably take a dip when the iPad 3 fails to meet unsubstantiated expectations.

Try SCSS instead? It provides much better errors for debugging (by virtue of not being javascript-based). "when it goes wrong, which it does regularly" requires more substance though; LESS or SCSS have never presented a real problem for des
