That's a good point. I think google is able to measure this to some extent, but yeah I guess anything could be gamed.

If Google just flat-out said they would penalize sites in rankings for poor performance, then management would very much prioritize it. Same thing happened with responsive design a year or two ago and now https this year -- my clients never

The block-based content is an idea that has been around for a long time and is embodied in several CMS's. Concrete5 has them baked into its core, ExpressionEngine and Craft CMS have the "Matrix" fields, Wagtail has "Stre

I do a ton of work with CMS's, building sites for non-technical clients who manage their site without much knowledge of HTML, CSS, or any coding/encoding (even markdown would be a bit much for some of my users). The big win that y

Ahh, I see... it works great on desktop, just very tiny text on my mobile device (and unfortunately there's no Ctrl-Plus/Crtl-Minus on mobile safari). You'll have to look at your analytics or server logs to see how much mobil

Something isn't set up right if your goal is to have the browser reflow text as required -- I just clicked through on my iPhone and the text is at a specific width (and fwiw it's not very readable to me with my non-perfect eyesigh

This makes a ton of sense. Do you have any examples / explanations / tutorials you could point to that demonstrate how this is achieved in code?

Yeah, would be better if a US company like Oracle were in charge of it ;) (Not agreeing or disagreeing with you, just kind of funny/ironic that we're talking about a fork of an open source project that exists because of disagreeme

The article is primarily talking about keeping your CSS modular... writing CSS that applies only to one "component" of a page (e.g. a box in the sidebar or a header logo or a navigation menu or whatever). LESS and SASS have more t

Because the "web" as we know it today did not exist until the mid-90's. Before then, there were a bunch of companies trying to sell their own Interactive TV offerings. If you're interested in learning more about this era

I am genuinely baffled (but I don't think I'm right and you're wrong... I trust HN people to be smart and capable). Can you please explain to me how using tabs vs spaces would encourage people to indent their code differently

How is that problematic though? I'm not aware of any language or situation where the width of the window has any impact on anything.

> if you are using different size tabs from me. But the point of tabs is that you tell your editor how many spaces wide you want them to be, so unless I'm misunderstanding you, this is not an issue. As for lining things up, tabs a

No. For a long time, newspapers explicitly walled off their business / sales / ad people from the journalists.

Yeah this confused me as well, but some other comments here clarify the situation: there's one sketch file that is the "design system" (containing the "components"), then a bunch of other sketch files for the actual
