@myprettybonnet I’m not sure what a “digital humanist/data visualisation” is… I can’t think of any Pepys data vis things though, sorry. (C17 by the way!)

@bensummers Those days of swearing at CPAN are starting to seem blissfully simple by comparison.

Become a Front End Developer and spend days fiddling with the Linux command line!

@dracos A sensible question, but yes :) Never mind, I’ve gone back to gulp, after trying a Makefile, and that’s Just Working now. Thanks for help!

@dracos Thanks… it works if I `touch` the .scss file, but not if I actually change something in it and save it. Have I misunderstood something?

@dracos Thanks, looks useful. But I cannot get it to notice changes, even using its example usage. I may have to just take @macintosh’s advice :)

@dracos Ah, right. As ever I am stumbling blindly around a forest of incompatibilities :)

@dracos The sassc interface doesn’t mention watch: hongminhee.org/libsass-python…

@dracos Not here… —style, —sourcemap, —include-path, —precision, —source-comments, but no —watch.

@dracos libsass is nice but… what do you use to watch for changes, seeing as it doesn’t have —watch?

Every time I make a mistake on one of those "select all cars" captchas, and it's accepted, I worry I've caused an accident 10 years hence.
