I'm guessing someone who prefers SASS over SCSS is going to also prefer SASS over LESS.

Hey swies, I have some tangentially related feedback. I've always had ninite.com bookmarked since I found it, and the other day I was going through and sorting my bookmarks; when ninite.com loaded, I was immediately thrown off. From what I

I may need to use http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2708222 to understand the relationships discussed here.

When I referred to simplification, it was more in reference to the comment about not using PyDoc than to the filename issue. Regarding the filename issue, I think you are blowing it completely out of proportion. I don't personally believe i

When you teach basic math, do you start with introducing the student to proof theory? In any field, the natural process is to relearn how to do things. I certainly have had to change how I program, how I document, etc., and I think I am a b

I will love Google+ when and if all my friends show up and stick around. Isn't the phrase usually "if and when"? I wonder if this was switched on purpose.

There's a very big difference between A) being the only person in, with the ability to invite any of your friends in and B) everyone else already being in. Even if you could invite all your friends in, the only motivation for them to accept

With two-factor authentication, what happens if your phone (with Gmail logged in) is stolen?

The only MacBook Pro it is at all fair to compare the Chromebook to is the $1200 one.

Does anyone know of any good books for people that are proficient with Python and want to learn more about the language and come closer to being an expert? The idea of LPTHW has always seemed cool, but I've looked at the table of contents a

Too bad the same behavior happens anyway because of recognizable names.

Can you elaborate on why penalizing an application when someone hides content is a ridiculous measure of spamminess? It seems like a perfectly fine measure to me, noting that nothing about hiding content based on the percentage of users tha

I agree with most of your criticism, but I think the point they were trying to get across with the "these sizes, when used together, look pleasing to the eye" was that that particular fixed set of sizes was chosen because it looked better

I go to a small liberal arts college, so our CS department is rather lacking in course breadth (although that is made up in 1-1 interaction), and so I haven't been privileged with being able to take classes on web technologies. Are you sayi

I would be extremely disappointed and disheartened if it's Zynga.

I just started using Pinboard a couple days ago (mostly because of integration with Instapaper), and so far it looks great. The fact that, even with all this chaos going on, the main functionality of the service is still up and running is r

If I recall correctly, Marco prefaced any advice he gave with "speak to a real lawyer if you're actually in the situation, and don't act solely on this discussion," though maybe I'm superimposing that after the fact.

I'm fairly sure you're not alone, but that you're definitely in the minority. So the options are: make the experience significantly better for the majority of users and annoy the minority of users like yourself; or make the experience sli

In the site's current form, I think the fact that a viewer of any age can watch a history video is actually a bit problematic. For mathematics, all of the material is broken down into the very basic components, so it's easy for a video to h

If they skip over something like Jim Crowe laws and someone notices, then that someone can mention it to Sal, explain why (s)he thinks it's important, and then Sal (or another instructor in the future) can make a video, and it can easily be

I had a very hard time taking the article seriously after reading "penii". I hate when people try to sound smart by incorrectly pluralizing this word.

I don't think the claim is that no book can survive any hostile reading, but that you can always approach a book with enough hostility to ruin it.

I don't agree with Marco's logic here, but I'm glad that he acknowledges that most people won't remember to go review an app. I think the best solution is to prompt users who consistently use the app for some long time period (30 days, mayb

> Anybody else would be sacrificing too many useful Javascript-specific tools... What exactly do you mean by this? What is there that you can do in Javascript that you can't do in Coffeescript?

I don't think the point is "you won't need to learn how these work!"; rather, it's "you don't need to worry about using the normal convoluted ways of dealing with these". It's never claimed that => implies (ha, logic humor) that you d

Agreed. I hardly think that people who haven't used languages like Ruby or Coffeescript (with implicitly returning the last expression) ever forget return statements in a way where everything would be okay if they just added a "return" keyw

You can argue that it's a matter of semantics whether "getting things done" implies "smart" if you start defining "done" to mean more than what most people assume from the word, but it's definitely not true that "smart" implies "getting thi

Is this speculation or confirmed?

Yes, it pays dividends, but there's still a big asset that can never be mode liquid.

In case I wasn't clear, I meant that _Google's_ choice of browser name was confusing, given that it was an already-existing term.
