   "what does it really mean?" It means he's a node troll. They take a shot at the dominant frameworks any chance they can get. Node trolls have reached the level of obnoxious arrogance that early Rails developers were once mocked for. Don't f

   I'm not sure if you're joking. Github is Git as a service... it's not in the business of software best practices. Are you suggesting that Github starts tracking all major frameworks, all versions of said frameworks, and the files that shoul

   I'd imagine it's because people who aren't satisfied with Less are using/contributing to Sass instead... and vice versa. ;) There are also big differences in design philosophy. I love the if/else, while, and for options that Sass provides,

   A simple example... // Less .rounded-corners (@radius: 5px) { -webkit-border-radius: @radius; -moz-border-radius: @radius; -ms-border-radius: @radius; -o-border-radius: @radius; border-radiu

   I think that Less has actually won the popularity race thanks to Bootstrap, a nicer website/docs, and front end devs not wanting to learn how to install Ruby. I think it's unfortunate because Sass is technically superior, imo. http://cdn.c

   Also, these aren't particularly good examples of ack vs grep... as others have pointed out.

   I'd say start with ack for its ease of use, but knowing grep is important. I prefer ack but most of the boxes i work on don't have ack installed (and won't).

   This is not just a sad kid and this is not just about pants. Did you ever grab a knife and threaten to kill your mom in front of your 7 and 9 year old siblings?

   What is not clear about "black or khaki pants only"? I'm quite surprised that you've chosen to identify with the petulant, knife-wielding child in this article. Sure feels like you're bringing some personal baggage to the equation... this a

    I doubt that the CoffeeScript-haters would accept any compile-to-js language. Maybe it's language stockholm syndrome. ;) But for me, JavaScript's shortcomings are far worse than CoffeeScript's.

    I always prefer text as well. I can get the information quicker and if I'm looking for a particular piece of information I don't have to scrub through a whole screencast.

    I don't see why the author needs to add a "what is D3" section to a tutorial. A visitor to a tutorial site for library_x is pretty likely to know what the purpose of library_x is. I think he's targeting his audience well. I'd imagine most o

    (I might have missed it in your tutorial, but if not...) It might be worth noting for your readers that attr, style, property and similar methods can accept an object as the argument. Might save people a tiny bit of typing... root.sel

    I'm very excited about this as well. Any hints about what's on the roadmap? Would love to see easy versioning with custom mime types and link headers for pagination and associated resources. Maybe that doesn't belong in core... but it would

    yep. on macbook pro side scrolling was great... although i imagine that might be a bit unpleasant on less advanced trackpads or desktops.

    Or it's the truth and his ~450 projects have been of low to medium css/js complexity. Or even high complexity and he got really, really, really lucky.

    Many frameworks overload the POST operation and allow the desired verb to be specified in the data. Rack::MethodOverride does this for Rack-based apps by using the value of the _method parameter as the http verb.

    He's probably talking about the Apple that gives customers brand new iphones or upgraded macbook pros when they experience simple hardware issues with their original purchase.
