   This is half a rant and half a cry for help. I see topics like this on HN often; "Anyone can learn math!" but I really don't think I can. Not because I'm a defeatist and have given up but because I've tried basicall

   We use Monolog (PHP library) that is able to post to Slack. Messages in Monolog, like syslog have a level attached, so DEBUG, INFO, NOTICE and WARNING will only be written to a log file on disk. Anything higher, so ERROR, CRITICAL, ALERT or

    What functionality is missing from Edge? I don't use it, but I've been following with a lot of enthusiasm as Edge supports all kinds of 'un-Microsoft' stuff these days like WebM: https://blogs.windows.com&#x2F

    Perhaps they thought the screenshots made it clear enough; like this one: https://www.obdev.at/Images//littlesnitch/index/alert_on_scr... shows Little Snitch blocking iTunes (with an Aqua-styled UI). Alt

    Fine for me (9.0.3 on OS X 10.11.3). It's sometimes very slow (3-5 second lag) to focus the URL bar or open a new tab. The latter I think is related to process-per-tab forking. The former is just bizarre. Safari became very sluggish ev
