Thanks! I'm checking it out. I've come to a similar conclusion that using @media incantations only covers the basic cases, so any advanced web layout would need a mix of CSS and JS anyway (so we might as well have a solid JS toolk

Information is vague, so it's best not to take side (yet, at least). This caught my eye, though: "In one day, all of the work I've done at that company to be a better place for women to work has come undone." "All w

I'm 32. Let's just point at the overexcited crowds and have a chuckle as another fad is about to peak. I like Node.JS a lot, as you say it's a tool in my toolbox. But due to the it's nature the code is quite fragile. It&

Good question. This won't happen. You know why? Whether a test fails, or succeeds, the PHP request is over. What happened to all those people proud of PHP's principles? "Shared nothing", remember? Why on earth would your
