modular css in sass
Look At Me продолжает серию интервью с российскими арт-директорами, которые не только меняют современные СМИ, но и формируют визуальные привычки читателей, обучают коллег и пробуют задать мировые тенденции в рамках отдельно взятой страны. Новое интервью из серии — разговор с Алексеем Ивановским, арт-директором онлайн-издания W-O-S.
Fifty milliseconds. That’s how quickly visitors can form strong, long-lasting impressions about your news or information website. But they aren’t sizing up the quality of your content or the sophistication of your code. They’re making nearly instantaneous, mostly subconscious judgments about how your work has been designed.
Those assessments can lead to very conscious — and consequential — conclusions about the merits of your page, product or platform. Bad graphic design can damage perceptions about your credibility. It can make your content harder to understand and render your work less appealing.
Ever since attending last year’s Build Conference I’ve been using what I’ll call “The Modular Scale Method,” which is a technique I’ve found invaluable for building my designs from the content out.
We’ll talk about this method more in-depth in just a little while as we look briefly at a simple Cookbook application. But given that the modular scale concerns itself with typography—the most granular level of our content.
Having worked as a web designer for a good ten years or more now, I don't envy someone at the beginning of their journey into the profession.
In an ideal world, every camera, screen, and printer would display color in the same way. Unfortunately, thats not how it works in practice.
I made this same basic argument almost seven years ago, but it seems that many news websites still think it's a good idea to break up stories into multiple pages. Farhad Manjoo, over at Slate, has an article arguing why paginating long articles is a bad idea, whose only purpose is to goose page view numbers and ad views for websites -- and it does nothing to make the reading experience better. Somewhat ironically, he's writing this on Slate, which does paginate stories. At least Slate has a "single page" option, which is what I linked to above, though you can look at the idiotically broken up version if you'd like as well.
As if up and changing which CMS I'm using would somehow solve this small issue I'm having. Sometimes it's a friendly poke, sometimes it's trollish, but more often than not I think they truly believe that moving CSS-Tricks off WordPress to whatever their favorite CMS is would be a smart move.
I don't think that. I figured I'd write up my reasoning.
Чтобы создавать по-настоящему легкие сайты, не стоит заморачиваться на производительности, вместо этого, производительность должна рассматриваться как один из элементов дизайна.
When someone asks you for a web image that’s, say, two inches wide, they’re estimating how it would appear on their own monitor. Without changing the image’s pixel dimensions, that image would appear larger or smaller on different monitors—and would even look different on the same monitor at a different resolution setting.
It’s hard to be equally good at all of the tasks that fall under data journalism. To make matters worse (or better, really), data journalists are discovering and applying new methods and tools all the time.
We use git at Bump for all sorts of things. Recently, we've started converting our designers and product managers. You can think about git like Dropbox: it takes files on your computer, puts them in the cloud, and lets other people work on them too. But it has some pretty rocking advantages.
Here, we take a look at Kepler’s last three years of successful exoplanet hunting and some of the best discoveries it has made. We look forward to many more exciting findings and, of course, many more awesome "bullshit artist renderings."

The web is liberally littered with “What is better WordPress or Drupal” debates (sometimes with Joomla thrown in for good measure). As a long time user of both, I don’t think this is a useful question. But neither is the common answer that they both serve a different purpose. That is true up to a point but I think the real question is not “what” but rather “when”. When it comes down to it, there is nothing that WordPress can do that you could not do in Drupal. But there are many features of Drupal that simply cannot be replicated in WordPress. (Here I’m talking with available modules without significant code.)
There are many ways to compare the two and a web search will reveal many such comparisons. Here I focus on the sort of considerations an individual starting a blog or a small personal site or small institution (such as a school, interest group or a no-budget charity) needing to establish a web presence should take into account.
A polyfill, or polyfiller, is a piece of code (or plugin) that provides the technology that you, the developer, expect the browser to provide natively. Flattening the API landscape if you will.
The option of using pure HTML (sometimes with a dab of CSS) for form validation was until recently unthinkable. Sure there have been all kinds of whacky JavaScript plug-ins over the years aimed at achieving something similar, but never a single standard that we could work towards.
