How exactly do the first five points put Ruby out of the picture? Sure, it isn't statically typed and allows mutable data, but I don't see how any of the remaining points couldn't apply.

While diamonds are super hard, they'd make pretty poor structural materials. They don't stand up well to compressive forces, which is essential for buildings.

Can't weigh in on Mezzanine, and haven't built a site in any in over a year so things may have changed, but the big difference between Django-CMS and Wagtail come down to how your content is modeled. If you're looking to have

The problem is, frequently even an order of magnitude isn't even enough. For instance, a high profile 3 page site that has a large number of daily visitors (or a product launch). Since the cost of getting something wrong on this may be

For junior developers, !important is far and above the most abused feature of CSS. 99% of the time I see !important in code, it shouldn't exist and theres probably a better way. Additionally, once you start using it, it becomes very di

IMO, you're giving way too much control to the end user with regard to configuring the layout and minute details of their page. Giving a content author control over the padding, background, font choices, etc, is a recipe for them creat

Last year I was hit with a massive IRS bill I was completely unprepared for. Saved some money, but not nearly enough. Something like this would have absolutely saved me.

I use it for stuff that would be impossible to do without javascript. For me, I'm willing to accept graceful degradation and the technical debt involved in making it graceful outweighs the technical debt (and bugginess) in using javasc

How exactly are they supposed to permanently remove all semblance of privacy? Short of infiltrating popular open source projects in plain view and proving the (potentially) unprovable, I don't see how this is possible.

Alternatively, consider charging by the day. It's unconventional, but it makes sense for a number of reasons.

It's easy to charge 5 cents to read an article using Bitcoin. With processing fees, this isn't super easy using credit cards.

Is there anything preventing an implementation vote by the miners? I would think that convincing 50% of miners would be all it takes to change these types of features.

I wouldn't dismiss a candidate for not knowing how a clearfix works. What's important is they understand positioning and layout and how things tend to fit together. I'd reasonably be able to extract this information from them

If I interviewed anything but a junior candidate and they said this I'd immediately dismiss them. Sure, flexbox can solve most of the problems, but flexbox isn't always an option. Any candidate worth their grain of salt would know

I've been using Flexbox more and more these days. If I need to support older browsers I use it for progressive enhancement, and test heavily. There's a lot of things it can do that are simply impossible in other layout modes, and
