This gist was writen in 2012 and it was solving specific problem in Rails & SimpleForm. Some fellow developers were pointing out this may be out dated concept. That's why I advise everyone to read comment section bellow to have a full grasp of alternative solutions

Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

	# This is example contains the bare mininum to get nginx going with
	# Unicorn or Rainbows! servers. Generally these configuration settings
	# are applicable to other HTTP application servers (and not just Ruby
	# ones), so if you have one working well for proxying another app
	# server, feel free to continue using it.
	#
	# The only setting we feel strongly about is the fail_timeout=0
	# directive in the "upstream" block. max_fails=0 also has the same
	# effect as fail_timeout=0 for current versions of nginx and may be
	# used in its place.
