You forget that as you move out, talent moves in as well! I collaborate with a bunch of super-talented creative people here and all of us are new to the city. Just because Toronto-born people leave doesn't mean Toronto has a talent sho

One of the demos on the EQCSS website is a responsive grid where the breakpoints are based on the grids own width, not the width of the browser. This seems to be what the parent comment was talking about. Element query grid demo: http:&#x2

This is the most unique and fun thing Ive seen shared on HN in a while! It makes a ton of sense. I can speak for all of North America, but nothing like that is available in Ontario (the most populous province in Canada). We have dry food an

It's not per-person. There's ONE standard for driving. If for any reason (weakness, blindness, lack of reflexes, impairment, age, etc) you can't reach that bar, then in reality you can't safely drive and so you shouldn&#

We were driving east out of Montana when there were bad fires a number of years ago. The sky was lit up but looked black, and we were driving parallel to the mountain range. As the sun set behind the mountains, through the smoke the sun app

JPEG is an acronym for “Joint Photographics Experts Group”. So I guess “JPEG” refers to a collection of humans. They specified an image format also called JPEG, which has been implemented as the JPEG file format, whose filename suffix is “.

Read as: “shared a beer break” Just like sharing a coffee doesn't literally mean drinking from a communal cup, but means taking a coffee break.

This sounds really cool, but I'm not 100% sure what it means. Is this something that would be included in desktop software for rendering images on the screen, or something more useful for file conversion and running operations on image

I live in Toronto, and I'm still weird for not owning a car. What's funny is that when my fiancée is here she insists on driving places just to make use of the car. It's really a love story Americans have with their vehicles

Would you believe I'm coming up on thirty, and have never (yet) owned my own vehicle? It's not a big deal where I live, but to my fiancée's friends it counts against me. More than once, when talking about me, my fiancée has h

I'm engaged to an American and they seem to view a car as a right of passage into adulthood. They feel like the expense of a car, whatever it may be, is essential. If five people go to a restaurant, it's probably in 4+ vehicles. T

Couldn't he just use a door to indicate the same status? Door open = okay to come in. Door shut = no interruptions. He seems eager to create additional work for himself to come up with a solution when there isn't really a problem.

Who needs code organization when Inspect Element gives you the filename and line-number, and all editors have Control-F :) You can edit minified code if you've had enough coffee!

That's a pretty elaborate setup. I have my own toolbox of scripts and plugins, but they're all written in CSS, HTML, and JS. I have CSS files like http://staticresource.com/basic.css upon which I can layer other c

I think there's a short list of situations where using a higher level language to describe CSS makes sense: - when demonstrating a pattern present in CSS at a higher level, to educate people who write CSS - when dealing with CSS animat

Why do you need to nest things? The 'C' in CSS stands for 'cascading'. Don't fear the cascade!

While I don't have a solution that lets you reassign the CSS root to other elements, I do use a plugin in my own work that lets me use scoped styles, as well as element queries. It solves a lot of problems. You should check it out, the
