or

Install with Homebrew

brew install mongodb

Set up launchctl to auto start mongod

About Sass and Gzip

Hey guys! I have a question regarding Sass usage and Gzip compression. If anyone knows something, be sure to share. :)

A quick reminder

It's good practice to use Sass @extend rather than including mixins when possible because of the way Sass handles @extend. To put it simple, it doesn't take the CSS content from the extended selector to place them in the extending one. It works the other way around: it takes the extending selector and append it to the extended selector.

Placeholder

Make it useful

Install Package Control. For SublimeText 2, paste the following in Terminal:

import urllib2,os; pf='Package Control.sublime-package'; ipp = sublime.installed_packages_path(); os.makedirs( ipp ) if not os.path.exists(ipp) else None; urllib2.install_opener( urllib2.build_opener( urllib2.ProxyHandler( ))); open( os.path.join( ipp, pf), 'wb' ).write( urllib2.urlopen( 'http://sublime.wbond.net/' +pf.replace( ' ','%20' )).read()); print( 'Please restart Sublime Text to finish installation')

From here on out, use Package Control to install everything. ⌘+Shift+P, then type Install to get a list of installable packages you can 'livesearch through. After installing plugins, they should be running.

Windows NodeJS Stack

This took me several hours to figure out so I figured it was worth writing down.

Hopefully this step by step can be used to get node running locally without a lot of problems that are commonly ran into.

You need the ttx binary from FontTools to dump the cmap table of the fonts into an xml font.ttx file:

HOWTO
