I disagree. I find that SASS mixins provide the same reusability as classes but in a much cleaner way. True, it makes your HTML and CSS very coupled, but it does provide you with a true clean separation of content and presentation. I find

Same here. I vary across distributions, going from OpenSUSE to Ubuntu to Fedora back to Ubuntu, but XFCE is the only constant there. I spend my day switching between the command line and a browser so XFCE is just what I need as a desktop en

I agree with this. Also note that GA's terms disallow the sending of personable identifiable information so the data they collect has to be anonymous (see https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2795983?hl

I stayed in Coober Pedy when I drove from Darwin to Melbourne. I remember it very well for two reasons. One, I thought to myself that it was the most depressing town I'd ever been. It was hot, dry, dusty and there's literally noth

My experience is that Ember.js does a good job in that area. Through ember-cli they provide sane defaults when deploying for production vs a local development environment.

+1 on mobiledoc-kit. We switched from a custom, hard to maintain and full of browser-specific quirks rich-text editor to mobiledoc-kit about 3 months ago. It's a world of difference in terms of stability and maintenance. It's stil

It's not very fair to compare Ember's size with Backbone's as Backbone implements just a very small subset of Ember's functionality. Also, it seems that the sizes are outdated because the latest build of Ember.js is 478K

After re-assessing our analytics a couple of weeks ago, we decided it was safe to drop support for IE9 and below. Since then, we found ourselves using more and more Flexbox for layout. Just a simple thing like vertical centering becomes muc

I agree with this. But I don't think code reviews are suited for this step 0 as you say. Just the way a pull request is formatted, it's very hard for the reviewer to deduce from the changeset what the high-level design of the code

Reminds of this email I got a couple of months ago from this offshoring company in India. They were claiming they could develop an Android app, no matter how big, for a flat fee of $1000. Sure.

I find formal methods fascinating. To be able to say, no matter what the input is, this thing does exactly what it is supposed to do, is great. I wonder if one day we will be able to use a lighter version of formal methods to web developmen

This is interesting, I hadn't heard of Oasis.js. Both approaches try to solve the same problem, i.e. manage to sandbox third-party scripts. However, the implementation is different: oasis.js uses iframes, we chose for not using iframes

$10 is expensive for such simple electronics! I understand that the price of the first piece is the highest, but if this gets mass-produced I think the price can easily drop to something like $1.
