First of all, it's not "some additional named entitie s that were required by XHTML" since there is only one: ' . Secondly, the fact that IE doesn't even support XHTML is a be…

Indeed. Sass and Compass have been doing this for years. Using mixins for CSS framework rules so markup stays semantic is basically the core concept behind Compass.

That's certainly one leading theory, and probably the most likely. However, that happened earlier in the summer, a month or more before he actually shut everything down. There are …

Ruby still lacks in scalability and speed compared to Perl Ruby is faster than Perl, according to the language shootout: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/u32/which-programming-lan…

if I remember correctly You don't. _why left open source for unknown reasons.

89033 modules Only 21694 distributions, though. The analogue in Ruby is a gem and RubyGems already has 19502.

That would conflict with "Apple doesn't have to spend their time discussing with you about legal dispute among copyright holders."

I look forward to your campaign to change hg init project to mercurial-admin.py startrepository project Those Ruby developers and their magic. Or something.

I haven't, but I know it works fine. Heroku is more of a Rack host than a Rails host, so any Rack-based framework (AFAIK, all Ruby frameworks at this point) run seamlessly on it.

What happens when you do a django template "your way" or "they way we can do it in 2 hours instead of 12"? I've worked on a lot of projects and can't imagine the situation where yo…

Have you looked at Padrino? I recently experimented with it and was surprised that it was an extremely awesome middle ground, to the point where I'll probably use it for my next pr…

I don't presume to know your work environment, but personally I work on my own projects and do contract work and, in my experience, taking on debt is usually a sign that there's a …

Python will be more useful if you decide to do something with the language other than ruby on rails If by "ruby on rails" you mean "anything to do with web development, deployment …

You have that completely backwards. If you are coding your Python like that, you are doing it wrong and almost certainly drawing the ire of the people you work with.

How is Django not dramatically more opinionated? It is, we all know it and we know that it's a virtue in that it produces consistent, readable code code. Why are you trying to pret…

the most recent post is more than a year old It gets asked every month or so, the last time I remember was just last month: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1830063 And I'm goin…

Right, it doesn't make the hotmail situation look better, it just reinforces how bad they both are. What's also horrible about the yahoo policy is that there is that you can reacti…

According to the docs and the developer comments they do get deleted. Presumably using the account with xbox live and other services is what's keeping it active, even if you don't …

I don't think I ever would've seen as many pictures of the random events in the lives of my family and friends without Facebook That hasn't been my experience at all. Seriously. Sa…

People know more about the lives of their friends and family than they ever have before Wow. I couldn't disagree more. Event notifications are probably the only thing that is subst…

The content of the URL field is dependent on the tab. It arguably makes far more sense to have this strong relationship represented by containing the URL field in the tab itself ra…
