Responsive layouts in stylus

Responsive layouts in stylus

Why this way?

  1. There is no span1..15 styles, instead your css defines your layout and your html remains semantic and not polluted with display information. As it should be.

  2. The markup is incredibly easy, you specify the wrappers width, and then each columns width in percentages. Every other grid framework I've found is incredibly complicated with this.

  3. It allows you to have the exact same markup, and completely different styles for different devices, resolutions, stylesheets, whatever. As it should be.

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Only first 1000 GitHub users according to the count of followers are taken. This is because of limitations of GitHub search. Sorting algo in pseudocode:

githubUsers
 .filter(user => user.followers > 1000)

You're Missing the Point of Promises

This article has been given a more permanent home on my blog. Also, since it was first written, the development of the Promises/A+ specification has made the original emphasis on Promises/A seem somewhat outdated.

You're Missing the Point of Promises

Promises are a software abstraction that makes working with asynchronous operations much more pleasant. In the most basic definition, your code will move from continuation-passing style:

getTweetsFor("domenic", function (err, results) {
 // the rest of your code goes here.

Been rather busy....

Because I've been so busy lately I haven't really had a chance to talk about anything I've built or been using, but i've been publishing so many new modules it's worth going back over.

Real quick, Getable is a mobile/desktop ordering and fullfillment application for commercial construction. Think mobile amazon/ebay for large construction jobsites.

First off, everything is realtime, using engine.io with everything but long polling turned off. We tried leaving websockets on but there were some nasty bits that made the connection die and not come back on iPhone which we just couldn't debug in time so we turned it off.

Engine.io is a great module as it just provides a simple duplex stream-like (more on this later) interface that upgrades itself when available. This meant that in order to get some use out of it I had to write a few modules.

eiojson sends JSON messages rather than strings bidirectiona
