@aral Playing devil's advocate…surely this is a transitional thing and before long we'll not need or care about pixel parity?

@hereinthehive Well, it’s logical pixel parity, not physical pixel parity so I think we will continue to care about it :) -
@aral Maybe…maybe we just need to embrace change rather than bridging it? (interesting idea, don't get me wrong) -
@hereinthehive Pixel‐parity rems is my attempt to embrace change & streamline the design workflow. The key benefit is ability to visualise. -
@aral Yeah, can appreciate that. Surely given time we can grow to visualise any other measurement? -
@hereinthehive I still can’t visualise imperial measurements so I wouldn’t hold my breath :) -
@aral Hah, there is that!

@aral this is what I’ve been doing for a while (is in#SmashingBook3), except I set html ( font-size: 62.5%; } which 10px by default -
@dstorey Yeah, but there an elegance to having pixel‐parity with rems in terms of being able to visualise it… -
@aral I’m not so sure it is that hard move the decimal place one place to visualise say 5.1rem as 51px. -
@dstorey Well, it’s 100% more cognitive load as you have an extra operation involved :)

@aral there is the SASS overhead tho, may not always be worth it. I suppose depends what people are comfy with. Thanks for another tool. -
@JamieKnight Funny, I just added a bit about why I use Stylus instead of Sass (it was about the overhead) :)

@aral I mostly use this Sass mixin for Rem / Pixlel fallback support. Everyone finds it easy and usefulpic.twitter.com/iyx8gvAgUv

@shaundunne Yep, that’s pixel‐parity rems, right there :)

@aral I’m a big fan of using rem units for this stuff, but this whole stylus syntax + prep work is *way* more work than I care for.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral Dawns on me being able to tell a browser the font size to use based on the font size is daft, but anything else is fair game. IMHO.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@aral …then just need to divide by 10 to get the mapping. Even I can do that maths ;)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
