"what does it really mean?" It means he's a node troll. They take a shot at the dominant frameworks any chance they can get. Node trolls have reached the level of obnoxious arrogan…

I'm not sure if you're joking. Github is Git as a service... it's not in the business of software best practices. Are you suggesting that Github starts tracking all major framework…

I'd imagine it's because people who aren't satisfied with Less are using/contributing to Sass instead... and vice versa. ;) There are also big differences in design philosophy. I l…

A simple example... // Less .rounded-corners (@radius: 5px) { -webkit-border-radius: @radius; -moz-border-radius: @radius; -ms-border-radius: @radius; -o-border-radius: @radius; bo…

I think that Less has actually won the popularity race thanks to Bootstrap, a nicer website/docs, and front end devs not wanting to learn how to install Ruby. I think it's unfortun…

Also, these aren't particularly good examples of ack vs grep... as others have pointed out.

I'd say start with ack for its ease of use, but knowing grep is important. I prefer ack but most of the boxes i work on don't have ack installed (and won't).

This is not just a sad kid and this is not just about pants. Did you ever grab a knife and threaten to kill your mom in front of your 7 and 9 year old siblings?

What is not clear about "black or khaki pants only"? I'm quite surprised that you've chosen to identify with the petulant, knife-wielding child in this article. Sure feels like you…

Google has over 15,000 patents from their acquisition of Motorola mobile.

I doubt that the CoffeeScript-haters would accept any compile-to-js language. Maybe it's language stockholm syndrome. ;) But for me, JavaScript's shortcomings are far worse than Co…

I always prefer text as well. I can get the information quicker and if I'm looking for a particular piece of information I don't have to scrub through a whole screencast.

I don't see why the author needs to add a "what is D3" section to a tutorial. A visitor to a tutorial site for library_x is pretty likely to know what the purpose of library_x is. …

(I might have missed it in your tutorial, but if not...) It might be worth noting for your readers that attr, style, property and similar methods can accept an object as the argume…

thanks. i'll give it a try... it wasn't on my radar. :)

I'm very excited about this as well. Any hints about what's on the roadmap? Would love to see easy versioning with custom mime types and link headers for pagination and associated …

Although... to my great frustration, Chrome has made pretty big changes to their preferences pages over time.

1.9 and 2.0 have the same api

Thanks! I'll click along as I listen.

Jeremy's a nice looking guy, but I wish we could see the presentation. Anyone have an alternate recording?

yep. on macbook pro side scrolling was great... although i imagine that might be a bit unpleasant on less advanced trackpads or desktops.

I love it. No friction.

Or it's the truth and his ~450 projects have been of low to medium css/js complexity. Or even high complexity and he got really, really, really lucky.

Great edit. I was starting to wonder what all the opposition to PATCH was about.
