Sass/Less Comparison

In this document I am using Sass's SCSS syntax. You can choose to use the indented syntax in sass, if you prefer it, it has no functional differences from the SCSS syntax.

For Less, I'm using the JavaScript version because this is what they suggest on the website. The ruby version may be different.

jQuery Caret

This is a very simple lightweight plugin to allow you to move the caret (or cursor) position in an <input /> or <textarea> element.

By exposing three jQuery.fn methods you can easily move a a caret to any position you like:

$.fn.caretTo( index , [ offset ] )

You can now create a spinner using any of the variants below:

$("#el").spin(); // Produces default Spinner using the text color of #el.
$("#el").spin("small"); // Produces a 'small' Spinner using the text color of #el.
$("#el").spin("large", "white"); // Produces a 'large' Spinner in white (or any valid CSS color).
$("#el").spin({ ... }); // Produces a Spinner using your custom settings.

$("#el").spin(false); // Kills the spinner.

Setting up Mac OSX Lion for Web Development

These are the steps I take to set up a new install of OSX Mountain Lion for web development.

1. Tweak some OS X "hacker defaults"

Run my fork of Mathias Bynens' legendary script:

(Hi, I'm Adam Smith.  I started Xobni in 2006, which has written the most sophisticated and successful MS Outlook addin in history.  This took millions of dollars and several years of work by some of the best programmers in the valley.  Other startups have thrown millions of dollars at building Outlook addins and failed.  This is my take on the idea of building a new MS Outlook addin as of 2012.)

My general advice is avoid any Outlook addins or desktop software if at all possible.  More and more stuff is moving to the web, and the table stakes of doing anything reasonably well in Outlook are remarkably high.  Consider it to be on the same level of making hardware with regards to the cost of bugs/mistakes, amount of black art, etc., but maybe a little higher since there's a much weaker ecosystem of people doing it.  I pasted below in this email an old list of "gotchas" or things-to-know I made after leaving Xobni.  It's not comprehensive but will include some of the biggest ones from a pain perspective.

module.exports = and ES6 Module Interop in Node.js

The question: how can we use ES6 modules in Node.js, where modules-as-functions is very common? That is, given a future in which V8 supports ES6 modules:

• How can authors of function-modules convert to ES6 export syntax, without breaking consumers that do require("function-module")()?
• How can consumers of function-modules use ES6 import syntax, while not demanding that the module author rewrites his code to ES6 export?

@wycats showed me a solution. It involves hooking into the loader API to do some rewriting, and using a distinguished name for the single export.

This is me eating crow for lots of false statements I've made all over Twitter today. Here it goes.
