Trivially, the difference is that neither SASS nor LESS is actually CSS and therefore must be transformed into valid CSS prior to being parsed by the browser. This would eliminate that step. EDIT: parent originally asked about the differenc

I don't think he's saying that at all. I interpreted it as, given unlimited resources, Eve can determine that Alice and Bob are communicating over encrypted channels which, for Alice and Bob, is almost as bad as having their encryption brok

Can you be more specific about what you mean by "oomph"? I ask because I'm not familiar with rvms but am familiar with (and love using) virtualenv.

I would get yourself a copy of The Good Parts. As someone who also went from Python to JS, it didn't fully click until I sat down and read through the book. Now there are aspects of JS I actually prefer over Python.

Sort of cool, but all it takes is a 1 minute read through of Stephen Wolfram's most recent blog post to realize there are more interesting and useful ways of presenting this data. A lot of potentially useful information on sleep and work pa

> Is an "innovation" that nobody wants really innovation, or merely change-for-changes-sake? It's not clear, at least to me, that nobody wants Microsoft's innovations. I think it's more that they don't want them from Microsoft . Window

"Window management hasn't changed much" To be fair, I think this is true across platforms. On what platform is window management better than it was 5 years ago? Sure, Windows lacks a good way to get an overview of all open windows (such as

"While Windows 7 is great and all and I love it compared to XP, what does it actually give you to justify the price?" I think the UI improvements alone (desktop search, Aero Snap) are worth the price. Isn't this how Apple justifies charging

"have you ever known anyone around you starving to death?" Sample bias. Just because you do not perceive it, does not mean the thing does not exist. LMGTFY: http://ukpmc.ac.uk/abstract/MED/10064320 Sure, it's not very recent, but nothin

"WSGI in Python gets you part of the way there, but you still need to import a library to talk to the server. This makes PHP just plain easier to get off the ground for web applications." The first sentence is mostly accurate, but I disagre

To be fair, he did qualify it as a design in progress. That said, I think standing out from the pack is far from the worst thing they could do. I love the live tiles idea, but the rigid design language gives everything a very "samey" look

I'm curious how you ended up implementing lock-picking? The big problem I notice with most implementations (leaving aside flaws such as incorrect number of tools) is communicating the tactility of lock-picking. I've played a game (Fallout 3

Yeah, except he didn't say compensation was flat. He said wages were flat. The fact that we have a higher percentage of our compensation tied up in the skyrocketing cost of health care only underscores his point.

This article makes a valid point about the hive mind, I'm just not sure that it's reddit-specific. If there were no karma on reddit, would we see markedly different behavior? Further, there's an assumption here that everyone has an opinion

I don't see Microsoft's problem here being fragmentation. Sure, some versions of Windows will run the Aero desktop and some won't, but everyone will have access to the same touch interface in Metro UI. This is markedly different from the

Aptitude handles package removal, especially orphaned dependencies much better. I think it's now included in the Debian base system, so there's very little reason to prefer apt.

I reject the premise, namely, that Google is a monopoly supplier of Internet search. Bing, Yahoo! and DuckDuckGo are perfectly suitable search engines. I don't think any of them are necessarily as good as Google, but a) I use Bing all the
