Not sure why publishing online necessitates getting to the point. It's long form and follows a very common story telling format. The world has room for different ways to tell a sto…

I'm not sure that trying to keep everything in one file is necessarily a great argument. Optimizing for not having to open files doesn't seem like the best thing to optimize for. E…

While you can't modify pseudo elements or pseudo classes, you can replicate them using actual elements and conditional logic. I've seen React examples that do just that.

Yeah, it's the former. Their 2014 GMS (Gross Merchandise Sales) was closer to $2B.

I wrote a book a couple years ago called Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS. I self-published in PDF, epub, and mobi formats. I also had the book on Amazon for awhile throug…

We don't have a chip and pin reader right now but you can use your own chip and pin system with Shopify POS.

Specific to your abandoned carts comment, the view is filterable. Type in "Canada", for example, and it'll show all abandoned carts in Canada. We'd love to learn more about what yo…

Of note, there are other POS providers that use the Shopify API to provide integration and have been for awhile.

We had looked into other names and POS/point-of-sale was the most recognizable and familiar with storeowners. Yes, the acronym is a little unfortunate. :)

Animating transform doesn't affect page scroll, which is a more useful use case (since users need to scroll a page) than being able to use a translate transformation. Of note, a tr…

When I first bought my 11" Air, I went with the base model, too. Mostly because I was impatient. But 128GB filled up fast, even with a 1TB external drive. Photos on another drive i…

Reminds me a bit of The Superest. In the case of The Superest, two artists take turns creating super heroes/villians that could defeat the previous character. http://thesuperest.co…

Nicole has been talking about OOCSS well before I wrote SMACSS. Much of what I wrote was inspired by her and others. I highly recommend checking out this talk as Nicole covers some…

If the goal is to spread it as much as possible, it should be free and uploaded to any and every service. The goal is actually to find the optimal balance between distribution and …

In addition to what everybody else said, there's also trying to find pirated material for niche markets. That is, it's hard to find. I sell an e-book as well, and have foregone any…

I wouldn't bother. For me, the revenue isn't worth it. Even under $10, not all sales get 70%. Some still only get 35%. Pragprog was definitely more worthwhile. Sales were more subs…

It's not even a matter of developing it on non-office hours using non-office equipment. Clauses are usually more broad to stop someone from creating a competing product, even when …

I admittedly have used these services to procure obscure tracks that aren't available via iTunes or other means. That band who did an a cappella cover? No download link on their si…

I think there's a difference between "the customer is always right" and "the customer gets everything that they want." For example, a customer calls and says, "You overcharged me!"…

The problem I have with most editors is that they try to be like a piece of desktop software. "Install me and get all of these features including themes and plugins." That's not wh…

wysihtml5 is a decent editor. It's fairly lightweight in comparison to the other editors. I feel that its approach to DOM changes makes it easier to create cross-browser consistenc…

btw: I just had a chance to look at your implementation. It's definitely going in a different direction than I wanted to take it. I understand the desire to match the default conso…

Of note, there's an experimental console API that you can use but it requires users to set a flag to use the extension and you wouldn't be able to add it to the chrome store (which…

I have it set that Cmd+Enter or Shift+Enter runs the code and Enter just creates a normal carriage return. I know this is a little backwards compared to the normal console, so it's…

Read through smacss.com, if you haven't already. It advocates a modular approach that should minimize the impact that components have on other components, thus a style change to on…
