beat the pants off 大获全胜


Americans will soon be buying their low-cost items from other producers, which are
already, if I may use the phrase, beating the pants off China.

fine-grained
You can even choose to take a more hands-on approach and use Compass’ sprite
helpers for more fine-grained control over how your sprite CSS is generated.

shrink
The use of background-size shrinks the 2x image down to the dimensions of the 1x
sprite, giving it a higher pixel density.

leverage
Git becomes more fun once you learn to leverage its hidden features.

Automation
Automation tools are not just exclusive to Ember.

perspective
This should also give you a perspective why I am not using Yeoman.

from a developers perspective(从开发者的角度来看)


It’s worth noting that the CSS is not scoped to the module it’s imported to (it’s
still global), but from a developers perspective the relationship is clearer.

ever-growing
An unfortunate consequence of the ever-growing number of women joining the labor
force and working side by side with men is the increasing number of sexual
harassment cases.

overkill
so then it's fair to say that for some people, Ember's approach is overkill

reasonably
For my last project, I ended up just completely redefining Backbone.sync, which is
very powerful, but I needed to write a lot of boilerplate to make it work
reasonably.

heuristically(启发式地)
over the long haul Ember will be able to heuristically decide how bulky to update

hand-wavy
I'm doing a very kind of hand-wavy explanation here
p.s. a hand-wavy explanation means a brief explanation missing important details or
logical steps

lopsided
Unfortunately this was my tendency when using Backbone. I hate reinventing the
wheel. Especially if it's kind of lopsided.

mid-to-low
That said, Backbone is fantastic for mid-to-low complexity applications that want
to maintain structured code.

Final thoughts

grit your teeth


However, if you grit your teeth a little bit and buy in, you'll be exposed to a
well thought out set of libraries that work well together.

boon
However, just having these modules that are designed to work together is a boon for
serious application developers.

FUD n. 落毛;落后守旧的人(等于 fuddy-duddy)


Despite the hundreds of retweets, you should be aware that it’s mostly FUD.
rebuttal n. 反驳;辩驳;反证
I’d offer two rebuttals to this:

make heads or tails of 弄清楚


Agreed. When I was trying to pick up Ember, it was nearly impossible to make heads
or tails of it all. AngularJS was significantly easier to wrap my mind around.

disingenuous
Ember is not yet 2 years old. How did you achieve this? By being disingenous.

@channel: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/ylly.com/team-a-daily - let’s kick it
off.

put aside
As frontend web developers, we are living in a world of evergrowing complexity.
What once was a relatively easy thing to do (putting aside browsers
inconsistencies) has grown into a very complex, dynamic, everchanging reality.

put up to the pace


We can't put up to the pace, and honestly do we really want to? Wouldn't we be
better off by planning ahead what can be planned and setting up a flexible
structure in order to be more efficient and less under pressure when the rough
times come?

pending
var pending = true;

clear
stay clear boys, this is my dad!

That said
That said, performance gains of more specific selectors can be minimal, especially
when compared to reducing HTTP requests and optimizing images.

stirring 激动人心的
When building or updating websites, there is often a stirring excitement to
(finally) build it “the right way.” Even with those aspirations, unmaintainable,
fragile code happens.

one offs 个别事件


It reduces the “one offs” that creep into the design that can disturb the
consistency of the experience.

rub 摩擦,问题的症结
But before instituting specific policies, we must find out the reasons why China's
forex reserve has been increasing so rapidly in order to get where the rub is.

hit the scene


When this method for development first hit the scene

little to no
The goal became keeping the HTML pure, using little to no classes or ids, and
traversing the DOM tree in the CSS selectors to apply styles.

steer away 偏离
The funny thing is, now that we have all these fancy new selectors, we are steering
away from using them. Is the lesson there “Be careful what you wish for?”

a la 按某种方式
Depending on the complexity of the site, it might be beneficial to break out a
module’s theme, a la SMACSS.

(in other words, when the user types text into it) the newName property on the
controller will be kept in sync.

leverage
The bigger the system, the more leverage we gain from the ‘single source of truth’
principle.

error-prone 易于出错的
They make typical computed properties more succinct and less error-prone (to
write).

from xxx’s perception 站在 xxx 的角度

opinionated 固执己见的;武断的
These guidelines are opinionated, but they have been repeatedly tried, tested,
stressed, refined, broken, reworked, and revisited over a number of years on
projects of all sizes.

consistency is key 坚持是关键


consistency is key.

discrete 离散的,不连续的
Even if not using a preprocessor, it is a good idea to split discrete chunks of
code into their own files, which are concatenated during a build step.

Guys, I'm freaking out, we have 5 stories in the current iteration that didn't even

With ES6 just around the corner, the attraction of using JS subsets has become less
alluring.

forthcoming
I’m waiting for an opportunity to embrace Traceur or 6to5 on a forthcoming project
before I can properly evaluate them.

uncritically
I don’t uncritically endorse any single one of these projects, but they are good
starting points for initial investigation.

slimmed-down
jQuery: from version 2.0 onwards, it is now possible to build your own jQuery
component-based library; this leaves open the possibility of creating a slimmed-
down AJAX-centred version.

time-consuming
Running an open/free software project can be extremely time-consuming,

burnt-out
and although many start out with the best of intentions, most quickly become burnt-
out and disillusioned.

disillusioned
and although many start out with the best of intentions, most quickly become burnt-

recap (扼要重述,概言之)

N.B. (拉)注意(Nota Bene);


N.B. Nesting in Sass should be avoided wherever possible.

judicious
As well as indentation, we can provide a lot of information through liberal and
judicious use of whitespace between rulesets.

square brackets 中括号 []


I was grouping them by enclosing them in square brackets,

at a glance
This allows developers to spot separate parts of the DOM at a glance,

stand a chance
Remembering your own classes, rules, objects, and helpers is manageable to an
extent, but anyone inheriting CSS barely stands a chance.

Oftentimes
Oftentimes we want to comment on specific declarations (i.e. lines) in a ruleset.

inertia
Yeah it was somehow from the inertia of releasing package list app.

sole
Here we can see that .person {} is the Block; it is the sole root of a discrete
entity.

self-contained
Your Block context starts at the most logical, self-contained, discrete location.

urban myth
I must say that I agree with Ric Szopa that Romanian being more similar to Latin is
an urban myth. It is starting to be a very popular urban myth, though.

spot
I couldn't spot which script is making this error yet.

but it make real life easier.
B: Well said.

shrink
@maxz: The issue still happens when you shrink the window to tablet size.

specificity
By commenting out the leading element, we can still leave it to be read, but avoid
qualifying and increasing the specificity of the selector.

Quasi-
Quasi-Qualified Selectors
eg: /*ul*/.nav {}

plague
I won’t comment on the former claim here, but the latter has plagued me for years.

circumstance
By using slightly more ambiguous names, we can increase our ability to reuse these
components in different circumstances.

pragmatic
The debate surrounding semantics has raged for years, but it is important that we
adopt a more pragmatic, sensible approach to naming things in order to work more
efficiently and effectively.

risk
Nicely abstracted, very portable, doesn’t risk becoming out of date.

strike a balance
It is important to strike a balance between names that do not literally describe
the style that the class brings,

at first glance
The following selector might appear to be highly performant at first glance.

far reaching
The problem with this selector is that the key selector (*) is very, very far
reaching.

pose
and are only ever getting faster, and it is only on notable edge cases that
inefficient selectors would be likely to pose a problem.

long-running
Focussing on these points will keep your selectors a lot more sane and easy to work
with on changing and long-running projects.
