Why should you be proud to fail CSSLint?

  I lot of people disagree with a lot of the rules laid out for csslint http://csslint.net/about.html http://csslint.net/about.html I do as well

    Still a pretty nonsensical thing to write, isn’t it? CSSLint does not even try to say anything about cutesy things like that. It is intended for different use cases and it is to be expected that a CSS Nyan Cat would fail CSSLint. There is nothing wrong with that, even if you believe that CSSLint is great.

      not really, he may have already been asked about it, it could have just been in his head because it became popular recently. I think its more nonsensical to get worked up about the fact he wrote it
      - ugh 15y ago
        I did not get worked up about that.

    One of many many fails was: Don't use IDs in selectors. #nyanCat { What's the thinking behind disallowing ids in selectors?
    - joske2 15y ago
      The idea is that using IDs reduces the reusability of your css rules.

    "Using float for layout isn't a great idea, but sometimes you have to. CSS Lint simply checks to see if you've used float more than 10 times, and if so, displays a warning. Using this many floats usually means you need some sort of abstraction to achieve the layout." what does this even mean?

  It has a couple of very bad rules.

I hate any site that autoplays audio, no matter what it is. Even worse when it's something like this, though.
- ansgri 15y ago
  Don't know who to "blame", but either Safari on Windows doesn't play audio or I've muted the browser in the Windows Mixer some long time ago... Yes, browser isn't for audio.
  - navs 15y ago
    Well the site uses an ogg audio track. If you edit the code to include an mp3 source then it should work on Safari.

  So, YouTube? It’s Nyan Cat. What the hell did you expect?

    Well, that's what TubeStop is for: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tubestop/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/tubestop/ I'm not the guy you replied to but I didn't know what to expect when I followed the link, I had no idea what "Nyan Cat" even means. But it's on Hacker News, so it would be something interesting and valuable, right? ;)

that code isn't semantic!

Nice hack! I totally forgot about CSS animation with keyframes. The YouTube custom progress bar for the Nyan Cat video made me do a double take too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QH2-TGUlwu4

A lot of people here are (rightly) confused by what this is outside the technical (CSS) aspect of it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyan_Cat http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nyan_Cat http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nyan-cat-pop-tart-cat http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/nyan-cat-pop-tart-cat This site has to have crazy music that auto-plays. If it doesn't it would not be Nyan Cat.
