This is not necessarily a problem, see for example http://phantomjs.org/ Google also shows javascript-only content in search results now.

Coincidentally I wrote almost exactly the same post for Ember today: http://alexspeller.com/server-side-validations-with-ember-da... At the bottom of that post you can see that rendering the errors in rails can actually be

Not sure how PayPal could be faster - money is transferred instantly to my bank account after receiving it through PayPal. Is that a UK only thing?

Restocking fees are illegal in the UK for online or telephone sales. In fact ordering online in the UK gives you very good consumer protection thanks to the excellent Distance Selling Regulations. You have the right to cancel an order from

That would be a pretty big mistake for the author of both the JSON spec and JSMin to make? Maybe it is but it seems unlikely.

It is certainly hard, and impossible in some cases. But not as many as you would think. Wrappers can be a problem (although not as much as they used to be). Clearfix is not a problem at all, as it does not require an element only a css mixi

I think you are using a different definition of "Semantic" - please provide a snippet of html you feel is semantic and I'll show how this approach can be used with it.
44.
by spellboots 13y ago
no, but <section> or <div class="products"> are semantic, and there's no reason you couldn't use those instead of <div class="container"> by using the features of LESS or SASS.

Alternatively use SASS (and the bootstrap SASS port[1]) which doesn't has this problem, as it instead rewrites selectors. i.e. if you have: .column { width: 100px; display: inline-block; } And you do: .co

No, it is correct. Backend agnostic means that it doesn't require your frontend project to be served by a rails app, a node app, a python app or whatever. It is written in node, but it is backend agnostic. This is not disingenuous at a

These complaints ring true for trivial javascript projects, however if you are building complex javascript heavy applications the equation quickly changes. Point 1: You will almost always be transpiling your javascript. In any serious proje

I was forced to use mercurial for a few years at work and I really hated it. Sure it has a better learning curve than git (or did) but I found it to be incredibly frustrating already knowing git. In addition, I found it to be slower, less f

I generally prefer SCSS to LESS as it's essentially a superset of LESS. Relevant link: http://metaskills.net/2012/02/27/too-less-should-you-be-usin...

And this is precisely why there are no large, successful systems implemented in dynamic languages, whereas all statically typed language projects have no bugs whatsoever.
