Smooth CoffeeScript
Ok hackers, listen up...<p>I know you love your fluid-width layouts, but just because you can fill the entire window with content, doesn't mean you have to. Blocks of text become difficult to read (and also ugly) when lines get to a certain length. The rule of thumb is that about 60-80 characters per line is comfortable. On my display, this site has about 250 characters per line and it makes me want to hit the back button. Yes, I can use Readability, but that strips out the code formatting. Simple fix: put a containing div around your content, and set a max-width on that container.<p>See Jashkenas's work for examples of well-formatted technical writing:<p><a href="http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/" rel="nofollow">http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/</a><p><a href="http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/documentation/docs/grammar.html" rel="nofollow">http://jashkenas.github.com/coffee-script/documentation/docs...</a><p>Anyway, looks like a nice resource. Thanks for sharing.
