`ld` – Wading through Mac OS X linker hell

Intro

Friend: I tried looking at static linking in Mac OS X and it seems nearly impossible. Take a look at this http://stackoverflow.com/a/3801032

Me: I have no idea what that -static flag does, but I'm pretty sure that's not how you link to a library. Let me RTFM a bit.

CSS Preprocessor Micro-Specification

Introduction

This is a conceptual specification for what could/would/should be the preprocessor to end all preprocessors. Unfortunately, it is just that - a specification. I had made quite a few attempts to create a CSS preprocessor, but I am far too inexperienced with advanced programming to succeed at this task. I got as far as the scanner and half of a half-working tokenizer before proceeding to pull my hair out. So I gave up, and decided just to list the proposed features here for reference. Perhaps these will make their way into existing pre-processors, or even inspire the birth of a new one.

First off, the basic features:

Pretty much everything the 3 leading pre-processors offer in terms of:

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
