I'm on 10.9.3 and do not see an "Automated Graphics Switching" option anywhere on the Energy Saver control panel... has this been renamed or removed?

I noticed that a system update installed itself yesterday at the end of the day. This morning I had two kernel panics (my first since getting the MBP a few months ago)... I'm also finding it seems tied to external monitors (both panics

I'll throw my hat in with the folks who are saying to get out early before you find yourself in the midst of a truly debilitating burn-out. That being said, I've worked a couple jobs in the past where I felt similarly to you--one

I share this sentiment. The author needs to consider which thing will cause him more regret in the long term--working a more normal schedule and potentially missing out on whatever rewards living the startup life may give him, or definitely

I bought a Surface Pro 2 a while back, mostly excited about the digitizer. I was definitely not disappointed. From a casual digital artist's perspective (read: I draw a webcomic and occasionally dabble in hobbyist animation), this is a

IIRC, SDC does not immediately clear cookies/cache on tab closing. It purges them on a scheduled interval. If you close the tab and wait a while (you should eventually see a toast message, if you have them enabled, saying something lik

Is there a good reason why CCP continues to even use Twitter in the face of all this abuse? I'm not suggesting that the assaulters are in any way justified in what they're doing, but leaving Twitter and finding different ways to c

The article seems to indicate that they primarily forbade the posting of conspiracy theories (ie, the "Big Green" and "Big Oil" accusations), and that bans only came after repeated violations of the rules.

I think they still want people to come on the hope that they can hold them for ransom and make even more money.

If the host knows, you should switch. If he doesn't know, it doesn't matter--you have a 50/50 chance of winning either way.

Agreed, it definitely makes more sense to me if you think of it as a cover letter replacement. I still think, however, that as a potential employer I would have a hard time getting over the bias of thinking "oh, he just used a tool to

Maybe my mindset is too far from the startup scene to understand the appeal, but personally I would not be impressed by an applicant who uses a resume-as-a-service system. At least not any more than I would someone who copy-pastes a resume

This is really neat. Adding something like LinqPad's Dump() extension method would make this supercool.

I had the same experience when I tried it about 7 or 8 years ago. When I finally decided to stop (after about 2 months on Uberman) I crashed for about 14 hours straight, and was still oversleeping/catching up every night for about a we

Forgive me if I'm just being ignorant on the matter (I'm not super familiar with Bitcoin), but wasn't one of the founding principles of Bitcoin the idea that it wasn't/wouldn't be regulated?

One big problem with this approach is a lack of push notifications/persistent connections on the iOS side. On the Android side you can have something like Gibberbot running all the time and providing you notifications of new messages,

A good obfuscator can prevent that by breaking up the string literals and either scrambling or encoding them.

I remember reading some time ago that Tesla's loop-hole for opening storefronts is that they don't actually sell cars to people there... they just inform people about the cars and answer their questions. When it's time to actually buy one,

How I came to love Windows 8 involved installing ClassicShell to bring back my start menu and disable all of the cray Metro stuff entirely.

Jailbreaking is still not illegal. Only carrier-unlocking a device is illegal, which is unrelated to both jailbreaking and unlocking the boot loader. Here's a quick and dirty breakdown: Jailbreaking -- Modifying the software/OS on your devi

I'm not sure if I'd be unhappy about paying sales tax on Amazon purchases if it meant free same-day shipping as a Prime member (or free next-day shipping for non-Prime), which is what I recall they're looking at switching to once their netw

I installed this on my netbook running Arch last night, really excited because I had steam keys for all of the linux-capable games in the current Humble Bundle. Sadly, the ones I tried all said they're not supported on my platform. bubble.B

Facebook really couldn't have been more generous to this guy. He's really milking the free publicity, too, with all the talk of this being the end of the road (which clearly it won't be, since there's nothing to stop him from continuing wor

A while back I wrote a quick little perl script to convert archive.org metadata into RSS feeds that a podcast client can read. So for anyone interested, here is this feed in podcast format: http://sitosis-static.s3.amazonaws.com/foundation

I'm surprised there isn't more negative backlash against the lack of a user-replaceable battery in the Nexus 4. I switched from an iPhone 4 to a Galaxy Nexus about a month before the Nexus 4 was released, and the ability to pull the battery

Skype is also the only reliable option for VOIP calling on Android, which is unfortunate since the Android Skype client is buggy and missing some obviously needed features. The alternatives (groove ip, sipdroid, csipsimple) are even flakier
