The $799 one does have a dual drive option. You can upgrade to a 750GB 7200RPM drive, a 256GB SSD, or the SSD+7200RPM drive.

I'd agree with this for the RAM, but the HDD on the Mini is incredibly hard to access for upgrading. Check out the teardown from iFixit for the last model.

I was working with a large retailer to develop a free iOS app. For the initial release, they wanted to target the widest number of users that they could, so our requirements were 3.1+ only. We included a bunch of analytics to track use an

See, that's the problem in thinking. People go, "Hmm, 10 repos cost $12, so that's $1.20 per repo. But if I have 11 repos, it costs me $22, it costs me $22 so it's $2 per repo, what a ripoff!" Or conversely how you stated it, "$1.20 per

Do what I do, factor in the cost of Github hosting into the costs for your clients. The marginal cost for an extra repo on Github is $5/month on a business plan or $2 a month for the smaller plans. As part of the contract for each of my p

What's causing this forced switch? I can only assume it's the end of your 60 day trial period. And since you'd be on the $100 plan, that means you have 11-25 users. It's kind of shocking to me that you're not willing to pay the $4-9 per

Generally there's two points to an interview. 1) Is this person knowledgeable and capable of performing the job I need them to do? 2) Is this person a cultural/personable fit for my team? I think the point of this article is that when you'r

I did something similar, though instead of cinder blocks, I made the frame out of PVC pipe glued together. It was sturdy as hell but also really light and easy to move with the top taken off.

No mistake at all. I write iOS apps both for myself and as a contractor. All of the web services that my apps run off are done in C# on Windows. As many others mentioned, the best tool is the one you already have/know.

I don't think there is any obvious suffering that all iOS developers have had to go through. I've submitted 17 different apps to the app store and I haven't faced a single rejection yet.

Just finished reading Tracy Kidder's "Soul of a New Machine" and I highly recommend it. A little older, but still a hell of a good read and really fed the part of my mind that digs tech histories and start-up narratives.

I have to second that notion as well. My current contract is with a regional grocery chain, and it is easily one of the top 5 gigs that I've ever had. Very progressive environment and a TON of data to swim in.

Most people who run cheap ($1-3/month) services don't bill monthly. They usually bill in 6 or 12 month increments for exactly this reason.
