I had one of those too, and ended up returning it. I have large hands and found the form factor very uncomfortable. The CPU is also slow and the keyboard sucks (particularly disliked the arrow key configuration).

I just bought another Air after returning a 2016 "Pro". I've been using my 2015 Pro for the last 3 years, and worried about it breaking down so wanted a spare. I've had 2 of them before and they are the best machines I&#

Just got a new MBP with touchbar and am finding it quite annoying for these reasons: - there seems to be no way to dim it and it's way too bright in the dark. - the context specific functions appearing and disappearing make it really e

Fira Code looks really nice. Shame Sublime Text doesn't support ligatures. Seems to be the most voted for idea for development: http://sublimetext.userecho.com/forums/1-general/

I'm pretty blown away by this. I took a picture of myself in the mirror with the scene description feature, and it said "probably a man standing in front of a mirror posing for the camera". I took a picture of the room in fro

There's a good discussion about this on the churning subreddit[1]. One of my hobbies has been maximizing rewards over the last few years. I've had the Amex Gold, but Platinum rewards have never looked good enough to justify it for

Where are you getting that ratio from? We've had about 50k sign ups, and hope to serve at least several thousand in the Founder Track.

Sorry about that. We're really getting hammered. If you try again it should work. We'll increase our capacity substantially before registration opens.

Are you really seeing all that loading on the site? Where are you located? The only tracking code being included by us is Google Analytics. There are 4 youtube embeds on the page too that could be loading in some other code.

We hope to provide 1:1 and group office hours to as many companies as possible.

We are absolutely not going to be advertising on the site. I'm not sure where the tracking is coming from but am looking into it. Also, I think that information is out of date. The Startup School Conference site has been moved to here:
