Replying to my own comment, but Chris Eppstein has put up a gist of some differences, both syntactical and semantic, between SCSS and LessCSS. They are very, very similar to each other now, as I thought. https://gist.github.com/674726

In my experience, no. After generating the CSS, we run it through YUI compressor for the deployed version. Any size differences remaining are measurable in bytes, and the ability to truly refactor our stylesheets more than makes up for that

(Enh) .width() and .height() now report the width and height of hidden elements (#7225) This makes me so happy I could cry.

We've been using Sass in production since we launched. Love it. I've not seen any real comparison between LessCSS and SCSS (i.e. the new Sass syntax that became available with Sass version 3.0) There were some real differences before that,

One method I've used (with Ruby) is use of FakeWeb, and collecting the various responses from oauth providers to test against. It's the closest I've seen to hitting the real services. If you're testing javascript, you'll need to use Seleniu

We married OmniAuth with Authlogic to handle username/password (we're still on Rails 2, so no Devise for us). It wasn't too bad. Handling the validations for users was the tricky part, but Authlogic offers a ton of help in this area... way

I recall a similar service a few years back which went a step further and encoded the text into an image, which allowed the sender to revoke the entire message at a later time. Google is not finding anything; maybe it's gone now.

We're using OmniAuth and it works wonderfully. It beats dealing with JanRain/Gigya for a single signon solution.

Maybe this is a good time to toss up the half-finished 6502 simulator I have kicking around.

That may just be a language barrier. The smart ones will at least listen if you can show them the added costs they'll be paying for nickel features like this.

There is a lot of info here, but it's attempting to focus on too-wide of an audience. The Javascript 101 section would be better left on the cutting room floor (or put into a separate article,) for example. What is here looks really solid,

We know what his views are. It's more interesting whether he tells the truth about them publicly or not.

Looking into said IRC clients, they all look to use regexps like I'm also doing. buh.

I looked at both already. Both assume ARGV-like command strings with --long-switches with no way to get around that without significant rewriting/additional feature work. Of everything, cmdparse is closest to what I want (by a significant m

Interesting, but it looks to require irb, heavily pollutes the global namespace with commands, and assumes I want to use --options-with-dashes. This is another 'close, but not quite' example. The current implementation is that I have a hard

Unlearning CVS/svn is the truly difficult part of learning git. These complaints could only come from someone who has used CVS/svn in the past and expects git to work exactly the same way. Are there any extant articles of someone who has ne

I'm writing a monitor for an emulator I'm working on, so your first example is what I am doing. I was wanting for something that lets me add commands, with aliasing, and arguments (maybe with optional regex validation) - e.g. breakpoint add

I think you should continue working on it. If nothing else it builds your personal code library up. I'm not sure how many apps in general use ncurses anymore, but I don't think it's going anywhere. I'm actually developing a console-based ru

While I don't have enough Django experience to give suggestions on that front, you can use BigTable if you want to move to Google App Engine, though the drawbacks may outweigh the benefits when dealing with an established app. That said, I

I prefer webrat ( http://github.com/brynary/webrat ) for this type of testing if I'm using Ruby. You can use a browser if you want, or just run browserless for tests that don't rely on javascript.

Empty jQuery sets are truthy. The page gets this doubly wrong when it says an empty list is returned (instead of the 'Array-like' jQuery set.) Check the length property of a returned jQuery set if truthiness really matters.

thanks! I've now gemified it for use in Rails apps without having to hit a separate site. It emits data URIs at the moment only, so no IE love yet. I had immediate need for it. http://github.com/xxx/placeholder_image

JSON.parse will also choke on the out-of-spec JSON. If your AJAX interactions stop working with jquery 1.4, it's your AJAX that is broken :)

The one time I've run into this 'bug' in the past was on a site that used lots of javascript plugins, more and more of which are coming with their own CSS files nowadays. Of course you can concat them together, but that adds a maintenance b
