I fear for future generations of programmers. Carefully engineered systems with the best of intentions turn into organic abstraction-sprawls as we build more and more on top of the old. I can easily lose hours of my day code-diving into software, systems, and services conceived & built 1 year ago, 10 years ago, or 30 years ago. In a hundred years... - http://restrictionisexpression.com/post...

Re: Nested Selectors: The Inception Rule - Beginner - http://thesassway.com/beginne...
"This is a great article, but I'd like to defend deep nesting. The way to think about SASS is NOT to think about CSS at all, much like C++ writers don't worry often about Assembly. File size is not a problem: GZIP is built to deflate redundant data. Selector performance isn't an issue, until it's an issue. I'd assert that very few deep-nesting folks have run into obvious problems w/ it yet. The real benefit to SASS, the one that should be leveraged above any CSS consideration, is how effective/productive does it make your team? There are definitely 'code-smells' w/ SASS that should be avoided, and I think this article is great to help avoid them, but no need to get too defensive at SASS criticisms. Who cares what the CSS looks like if it's fast on the wire and rendered efficiently? The whole point of abstraction is to free us from lower-level concerns until they actually become a concern :) UPDATE: With respect to maintainability, SASS importing/mixins has more to do w/ that than..."

This is a fantastic infographic explaining how bad carbs can be for you. I’ve tried to explain this to many people in person, but a flowchart makes it so much easier. Thanks to Massive Health for designing it.
I wish someone had told me this when I was 18 years old.

Carolyn Reidy, president and chief executive of Simon & Schuster, says the biggest challenge is to give people a reason to step into Barnes & Noble stores in the first place. “They have figured out how to use the store to sell e-books,” she said of the company. “Now, hopefully, we can figure out how to make that go full circle and see how the... - http://restrictionisexpression.com/post...
From TurningArt to StayingArt, or How I Bought My First Original Piece of Art. I’m a huge fan of TurningArt, which is often described as “Netflix for Art”. It’s allowed me to sample all sorts of different art without ever committing to it. (And for a material-phobic minimalist, it’s a slam dunk; own without owning!) Lately, I’ve been sporting a... - http://restrictionisexpression.com/post...

"I think our ability to indulge our (now misaligned) natural behaviors is a problem, we're able to serve our darker impulses faster than we can develop willpower. Would love to hear how we can create a more in-control society. What are our options?"

"Awesome. Adding to the queue. Meditation is something I've been meaning to look into. I deal w/ my escapist habits by generally simplifying my environment. I own very little, etc. I AM finding it hard to simplify my digital life, since it's effectively 'infinite' and because I'm a coder, somewhere I have to play everyday"
