I imagine many of the same arguments for and against Haml would apply to Sass. I'm thinking of James Britt's critique: http://www.jamesbritt.com/2009/4/30/thoughts-on-haml Would be curious to hear what people think of Sass. I'm considerin

No, you're not crazy. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose really? Whether you will actually be able to find work is a question mark but as long as you have enough money so you won't be sleeping on a park bench, why not? Ah, to be 18 .

I'm surprised to hear they weren't giving Pipes enough horsepower. But maybe it's a different story when a Pipe was as popular as yours. Still, your Pipe has only had 500,000 runs in over a year. They should be able to handle that many call

Why did you ask their permission? Couldn't you just use the data from that Pipe in an app without asking them?

Glad I asked. I had no idea there was such a close relationship.

"Jquery + Haml is a very close impedance match" - is that another way of saying they're a good combo or is there more to it than that?

I thought his point was that people who like it tend to be newbies to web development who are not able to make an informed critical judgment about its merits because they don't know enough of HTML to begin with - they learn HAML by seeing i

This post is a negative critique of Haml which points out that it is not an improvement over HTML - it makes working with designers more cumbersome for one thing. A somewhat different viewpoint from a StackOverflow user: http://stackoverfl

Of course. But what I meant was, why go to your site? Why not go directly to economist.com to read, think and progress?

How about getting a friend or family member to set up a new account in their own name and let you use it. In return you could buy them a cup of coffee or something.

It's a good idea but it seems to suffer from the chicken and egg problem that pg has talked about in the context of dating sites: ". . . no one wants to use a dating site with only 20 users, which of course becomes a self-perpetuating probl

You're right. Of the 30,000 or so people per year who die from gunfire in the U.S, a large proportion is from suicide - especially in white males over-40, as this nytimes graphic illustrates (gray is homicide, pink is suicide): http://www.

Are you planning on publicizing it on gossip sites & making money from advertising? Or is this just a toy project?
