No. Adele – the Design Systems Repository, is not named after Adele – the singer. This is a tribute to one of the most important computer scientists focused on graphic user interfaces, design patterns and object-oriented programming – Adele Goldberg. Adele Goldberg worked at XEROX PARC in the 70s and managed the System Concepts Laboratory where, together with Alan Kay and others, she developed Smalltalk-80 – an object-oriented, dynamically typed programming language that was meant to power "human-computer symbiosis".
Yes, strange for a bug fix to be top of a list of features, however...
I don't agree that it's "not the most eventful" release:- libsodium being included into the core is a big tick in the box in terms of maturing as a language; modern - secure - cryptography out of the box.
I'm surprised PHP hasn't had this for a while. Isn't PHP nearly 20 years old? Is it common for web languages to grow so old before they get crypto in the standard library?
You are right, of course, but nonetheless this is a significant step forward for the language (and the ecosystem as a whole).
I do hope that - just like yourself, I am sure - the next significant step is more organically and proactively developed, and not treated (at least in the wider communtity's eyes) as a belated addition to a bewildered leviathan.
Ok, but that's different from including crypto at all. I'm surprised Go uses those algorithms in its standard library TLS stack, but they're not made available as part of the standard crypto packages...
OpenSSL and Mcrypt have been available for the longest time, I don't know if that counts if we word-lawyer "Standard Library" but it definitely felt like that way.
Has anyone tweeted this to Matt Cutts (Head of Web Spam at Google) ?
Yeah, because all that needs to happen to solve this entire mess is for someone, anyone at all to bring it to the attention of the right person at Google.
They'll be just as shocked to hear it as Claude Rains was in Casablanca. And, rest assured, they'll take care of it.
Thee "pull-left" and "pull-right" classes were added into v2.2 (in the Github repository) in addition to the similar "float-left" and "float-right" classes.
These additions have been merged into the Master branch this afternoon.
The example site is running on v2.1 which uses the float-left and float-right classes.
Did think about a 24 unit approach, however we concluded it was not the way forward as the unit widths at 24-points would be ok at 4K, but at sub-4K they would be negligible, and the developer would need to work in multiples.
Well the 12-unit grid is normally chosen based on being divisible by [1,2,3,4,6,12]. 16-unit is divisible by [1,2,4,8,16], but I see that you added a "thirds" class to deal with that. 20-unit could be an option as it covers divisibility by [1,2,4,5,10,20] but also critically ignores 3 column. 24-unit (the product of the first four positive integers) is divisible by [1,2,3,4,5,6,8,12,24], so it would naturally allow the most flexibility at the cost of very granular 1/24 elements.
