Dude. Way too much pedantry. They are experimenting. If they get it right on your screen you get a more precise rendering of the font, if they don’t you get a slightly suboptimal rendering, but that’s the same result you'd get with a generi

It’s a simple macro that makes you write code that looks like a syntax error, and I don’t like that ( http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/2006/05/code-smells.html ). Especially since without the macro you’d just need to write two characters mo

Clever. “Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.” Seeing the recent evolutions, I thought Rails peo

I fail to understand why people ask for these simple utilities to be included. I find it interesting that on one side you see people complaining about apps they cannot remove and on the other saying that they are sorely missing. (to be clea
