Replying to my own comment, but Chris Eppstein has put up a gist of some differences, both syntactical and semantic, between SCSS and LessCSS. They are very, very similar to each o…

In my experience, no. After generating the CSS, we run it through YUI compressor for the deployed version. Any size differences remaining are measurable in bytes, and the ability t…

(Enh) .width() and .height() now report the width and height of hidden elements (#7225) This makes me so happy I could cry.

We've been using Sass in production since we launched. Love it. I've not seen any real comparison between LessCSS and SCSS (i.e. the new Sass syntax that became available with Sass…

One method I've used (with Ruby) is use of FakeWeb, and collecting the various responses from oauth providers to test against. It's the closest I've seen to hitting the real servic…

My co-founder is black.

Only x86, though. x64 isn't there yet. http://arewefastyet.com/?machine=4

We married OmniAuth with Authlogic to handle username/password (we're still on Rails 2, so no Devise for us). It wasn't too bad. Handling the validations for users was the tricky p…

I recall a similar service a few years back which went a step further and encoded the text into an image, which allowed the sender to revoke the entire message at a later time. Goo…

We're using OmniAuth and it works wonderfully. It beats dealing with JanRain/Gigya for a single signon solution.

Maybe this is a good time to toss up the half-finished 6502 simulator I have kicking around.

That may just be a language barrier. The smart ones will at least listen if you can show them the added costs they'll be paying for nickel features like this.

There is a lot of info here, but it's attempting to focus on too-wide of an audience. The Javascript 101 section would be better left on the cutting room floor (or put into a separ…

We know what his views are. It's more interesting whether he tells the truth about them publicly or not.

Looking into said IRC clients, they all look to use regexps like I'm also doing. buh.

I looked at both already. Both assume ARGV-like command strings with --long-switches with no way to get around that without significant rewriting/additional feature work. Of everyt…

Interesting, but it looks to require irb, heavily pollutes the global namespace with commands, and assumes I want to use --options-with-dashes. This is another 'close, but not quit…

Unlearning CVS/svn is the truly difficult part of learning git. These complaints could only come from someone who has used CVS/svn in the past and expects git to work exactly the s…

I'm writing a monitor for an emulator I'm working on, so your first example is what I am doing. I was wanting for something that lets me add commands, with aliasing, and arguments …

I think you should continue working on it. If nothing else it builds your personal code library up. I'm not sure how many apps in general use ncurses anymore, but I don't think it'…

While I don't have enough Django experience to give suggestions on that front, you can use BigTable if you want to move to Google App Engine, though the drawbacks may outweigh the …

I prefer webrat ( http://github.com/brynary/webrat ) for this type of testing if I'm using Ruby. You can use a browser if you want, or just run browserless for tests that don't rel…

This phenomenon hit me hard when I was learning to play Poker back in the day.
