Well, they're just conceptual entities, they don't actually exist in reality, like numbers. People make them up, other people confuse them reality, and then you have major problems, like nationalism.

How can you justify all the State evils happening with, well, my neighbor can't run an SRO out of his apartment. You didn't mention your other neighbor who was a casualty of the drug war. The same people bringing you these suppose

And why should we trust bureaucrats to do this? Won't they just sell their political power? Who will regulate the regulators? And who will regulate those regulators? I don't think you've proposed a real solution.

I wouldn't publish JS code in CoffeeScript, but for proprietary projects, especially Rails, I'd use CoffeeScript, HAML, and also, indented Sass. Coming from a different background, I was pretty resistant at first, but I think deve

You can easily get around that by using `display: table` and `display: table-cell` So you have your semantic HTML elements, if you're into that sort of thing, and flexible layout options, like `vertical-align: middle`.

The main issue I have with Grunt and other frameworks/build tools is plugin authoring. Can't we just put this stuff in Make files and be done with it? I know, I know, Windows. But it seems like an awful lot of time is wasted build

It's not difficult, but quite a few developers I've worked with were unaware of that algorithm, which is one reason I think they pushed it into the UI.

I think it's one of those things where convenience for those looking at the underlying data has bled over into the UI. While you can deduce the type from the number, it's not easy for humans to do that at glance while looking over

Love the Sass port. My one complaint with Bootstrap is that its grid system uses float instead of inline-block. Is it easy to use a different grid system with Bootstrap without breaking its other components?

Writing your congressman is the least you could do. Maybe get out there and start filming the police, raise awareness about jury nullification, encourage peaceful parenting so we don't have bullies on the police payroll--etc. These are

No, they should not. Taxes are not voluntary. You act as if we all merrily signed up for this system, when in fact it was forced upon us since birth. This idea that if we somehow elect the right person that horrors like the drug war will go

I was with you until you started talking about the "invisible hand of the free market" failing and how instead we should be using State force to solve these problems. Isn't your comment a free market action, raising awareness

It's just wrong. Why embrace things that don't make sense? Are we embracing the Idiocracy?

What an absurd argument. If you sell baby food laced with arsenic, and babies die, you've committed murder. In a true free market, you wouldn't have a liability shield and would face severe consequences for putting out dangerous p

This sounds like a false dichotomy: "The government has a legitimate responsibility to ensure that medical technology is used and marketed responsibly" So either the government ensures the above or it does not get accomplished? Th

I agree with what you're saying. I just wouldn't follow this dogmatically. To me it boils down to what's DRY, maintainable, and easy to refactor. I do use more abstract class names that have no presentational meaning, but tha

Why do HTML classes have to be semantic, and by semantic I mean describing the content encapsulated in the element? I never understood this mantra. It's parroted around and followed religiously, often lacking any arguments. It's n

I thought we needed the State to protect us from monopolies? There must be a certain amount of double-think that goes into this line of reasoning. But yeah, remove the monopoly on first-class mail and let them charge differently if they&#x2

You are spreading FUD and misinformation. Shame on you. The non-aggression principle does not work like the laws of physics, so just because someone steps on your land, it does not give you the right to shoot them. You are arguing from absu

I hope Paypal handles this better than PayflowPro, which is a seriously neglected product acquired from Verisign . No support on the weekends, even if your account is having technical issues that disrupt customer payments.

I had a similar experience recently when I was using many compose-able CSS styles. My solution was to use a preprocessor and make an aggregate style; for example: <li class="u-paddingLarge t-important"> would become: <li
