   So does Discover. When I wouldn't take "just because" for an answer, IIRC the explanation was that it resulted in fewer password reset requests, so I believe your take is correct.

   There are some other symbols which are (somewhat) common in OS X's shortcut listings but which aren't listed on this page, like Escape, Home, End, Delete... Found them listed here: http://www.danrodney.com/mac&#x2F

   In the past the little displeasure like this I've heard expressed has been related to ebook readers. I imagine this response to device/software creators will slowly grow as it happens to individual people one at a time, on their p

    Hm, I've recently begun using zsh primarily and this trick doesn't work there: zsh lets you know what the alias is... bash will happily find `rack` in your `$PATH` and then run it. (Presumably because in zsh, `which which` says it

    I believe that's a central feature of NewsBlur now. I use InoReader primarily because it de-emphasizes the social element; it's something I don't feel the need to use. It does still have an option to view "trending"

    InoReader(.com) is the only one I've found post-Google Reader that gets out of my way and lets me read things. The experience on mobile could be improved, but it works well enough for me.

    A big part of that is probably how easy it is to take a screenshot and send it to someone. If that whole process is faster and easier than me figuring out how to find a link inside this tweet which I can then send to someone, I'm going

    Nice! (For the record I can't wait to try out Huginn; I've been using Yahoo Pipes for years... I've apparently got one pipe from before when they started using only hex characters as pipe IDs.)
