Re: Understanding Variable Scope in Sass

Chris Eppstein — Tue, 07 Apr 2015 12:44:24 -0000

Please note that the !default flag will set a variable if it is unset *or* if its current value is null.

Re: Sass Multiple Arguments, Lists or Arglist

Chris Eppstein — Thu, 20 Nov 2014 17:10:48 -0000

The *main* difference between a list and an arglist is that you can pass an arglist to the keywords($arglist) function and it will return a map of unbound keyword arguments. You can then operate on those named arguments without explicitly calling them out in the arguments.

Re: Dear founders: Children are not a distraction, they are motivation.

Kudos to you if you can make the logistics work out. I did a startup for 6 years while my daughter grew up from the age of 1 to the age of 7. Luckily we could afford for my wife to stay home and raise her, but still, I missed so much of her life. More than I wanted to. I know that this has set the stage for our family's long term financial success, but it did come at a price. IMO, people who chose to delay starting a family are very wise. You will feel torn. You will feel like there's not enough of you. Every. Single. Day. Please keep this in mind if you decide to take a job that has unbounded work requirements -- whether it be for a startup or not.

Re: Import once in Sass the foundation way | 4waisenkinder

Chris Eppstein — Fri, 07 Mar 2014 10:02:06 -0000

A couple of comments:

@if (index($modules, $name) == false) {

Should be:

@if (not index($modules, $name)) {

Because the return value of index is going to change to null in a future release.

Also Compass 1.0 now includes an import once capability and it is on by default:

But this plugin can be used without Compass as well.

Re: Almost Profound — Sass 3.3 @at-root & BEM!

Nice write up.

FYI: `@at-root (without: media screen)` should just be `@at-root (without: media)`

I agree. Its hard to work at a growing startup, have a family, commute and maintain a huge open source project. Which is why I just took a new job where one of my job responsibilities will be to maintain this project. http://chriseppstein.github...

Yep! That's what I was referring to.

In a compas config file use add_import_path. This feature is stand-alone Sass playing catchup to a feature that's been in compass and other application frameworks for a long time.

Re: I'm an American and I want to watch the Olympics. What do I do?

Chris Eppstein — Sun, 29 Jul 2012 16:00:30 -0000

Sure, but they are _also_ paid by cable companies. And this restriction is certainly based on keeping that revenue stream intact. It's obvious to the technologically savvy that streaming is the future, but it is not currently the present. So to this end, I signed up for cable specifically so I could watch the olympics. I will cancel in a few months ;)

I think it's ironic that your previous post is titled "Don't give your product away for free..."

If someone will provide a similar guide for using the console on windows, I will link to it. I am not aware of such a resource.

Nothin about our docs is specific to a Mac. What gave you that impression?

I can't think of why this would be useful. please contact the mailing list to discuss further.

Re: Using sass-rails 3.1.5 without the asset pipeline on Rails 3.1.4 - Urban Hafner

Chris Eppstein — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 12:23:53 -0000

An even better idea is to work with activeadmin to develop a supported configuration or move to one that they do support.

Re: Using sass-rails 3.1.5 without the asset pipeline on Rails 3.1.4 - Urban Hafner

Chris Eppstein — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:57:36 -0000

This is a terrible idea and will likely break your application. Sass provides a rack middleware that you should use if you need sass without the asset pipeline.

Re: Compass Sprite Helpers | Compass Documentation

Chris Eppstein — Sat, 24 Mar 2012 15:10:43 -0000

This is basically the answer. You should probably use sprite_load_path << "../path/to/img"

Re: Compass Transition | Compass Documentation

Chris Eppstein — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:53:27 -0000

This is better because it passes a list of two numbers instead of a string (this lets the sass compiler do better output optimization in general):

@include transition-duration((1s, 1s));

Re: Compass Transition | Compass Documentation

Chris Eppstein — Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:42:30 -0000

a comma delimited list is not the same as passing comma delimited arguments to a mixin. to force the commas to belong to the first argument, you have to enclose the list with an extra set of params.

You can get close with this:


h1, .h1 {
  &, & a {
    ...
  }
}
