Physically, my best advice is to take good care of your back and your teeth. These 2 things can make a huge quality of life difference once you are past 40. I would also add your eyes, but there is not a lot you can do about that one! Almos

When I was in Art School, the instructors there stressed that it was wrong, or rather, misguided, to infuse your beginner work with a "Style." Style should come from the inside out, not the outside in. In other words, learn your c

It helped me to check "Displays have separate spaces" in the Mission Control panel. MacOS seems to remember what went where with this checked.

Gosh, I’m really sick of this argument. Sure, everyone loves hand-crafted, beautiful, native apps. But I will tell you this: it is possible to build a great app using any technology. It’s just a matter of taste & effort. My favorite too

Apologies for jumping in here, but hopefully parent will answer your question. I have noticed that a lot of the reviews & comments about the new Magic Keyboard for iPad Pro are separated by size. People who have the 12.9 seem to be much

I worked a second job in 1984 to score an Apple //c! I still have it safely tucked away in storage and had an opportunity to fire it up a couple of years ago. It worked perfectly. Beagle Bros...oh yes. I so loved their software. T

Beautifully said and totally agreed on all points. Mort Drucker was a next-level talent. I started buying Mad in the late 60's at the local 5 & dime store, back when you could actually buy stuff for 5 cents! (candy mainly). When I

The original MacOS only supported one application at a time. It also supported little apps called "Desk Accessories", which could float as a separate window within the applications space, but they required a small amount of suppor

Who knew? Keyboards turn out to be very personal. I am in your camp. I picked up one of the 13" MBPs when they rev'ed it earlier this year and I love the keyboard! I have never typed faster on any laptop keyboard. Different stro

I generally find myself using my favorites menus rather than the url bar. Not sure I could get used to that. Thanks for the suggestion though!

What I would love is an extension (either FF or Chrome) that allows me to reuse an open, matching tab when I choose a bookmark. For example, I find myself opening a bunch top-level Google News tabs. In a window with 40 tabs, at least 6 or 7

I agree with you, but I don't necessarily see a conflict between someone "teaching" me (what a guru basically is: a teacher, in a way) and other facets of their personality. I've had many teachers that were superb at imp

Wow, so much HN hate for Polly? It's my opinion that Polly is a national treasure. Her shameless wit and sense of humor make me smile. Her profound love of humanity makes me deeply happy. Not only that, but her writing is so poetic and

My particular cure (2 herniated discs with associated deep pain/sciatica) was to resume running again after a 40 year stoppage (HS cross country). Worked great. I do about 15-20 miles a week at an average 8:30 mile pace and the back pa
