I like most of these except the one about not using !important.

I use .flat { margin-bottom: 0 !important } to remove the default bottom margin from certain typographical elements (ie. h1,p,ul). In this case where I absolutely know that I mean what I say when I apply that class, it works great.

If you use em for say the bottom margin on a heading, it is going to be relative to the font size of that heading (if specified).

Where as a rem would always be relative to the root of the document, which is not always the desired effect when it comes to responsive typography.

I love reading this kind of stuff. Can anyone recommend any similar resources?

Ask HN: Any Hip Hop loving, Brisbane developers?

I have a super exciting idea, with an awesome name, that I would love to build with someone local. It is not specifically a hip hop application at all, much more than that. I just love Hip Hop and will most likely play it when we work.I'm looking to team up with someone who can do all the smart(er) stuff with me. I consider myself a top class UI Developer with a deep care for UX.Contact me at...

Awesome but did you need to blatantly rip the Medium design?

I will be adding this content to the page tomorrow, I just wanted to get something up tonight.

I've had a good look around and am still yet to find a good end to end experience that allows you to easily swap used games.

It would of been nice if there more apps that were empowered by Glass. These apps are all just the same as any app I can get on my phone.
Re:Shame.css on Thursday April 25, 2013 @05:18AM (#5606323)
For me shame.css doesn't necessarily contain hacks. In mine you will find less thought out selectors that are added in haste and anything else that doesn't conform to the high standard I set myself.

This is very cool! Things like this are what's going to allow CSS to become the design language of future UI.

I can see this being used in a car where an interface is displayed over the top corner of a screen.
