Interesting. I have no issues like that. I've even changed jobs, so I'm actually on my second Macbook with this hub, and my Mac remembers window positions and monitor layouts every time (knocking on wood so I don't jinx myse

I think, way way down, it highlights these metrics: Deployment frequency: How often an organization deploys to production. Lead time for change: The time it takes to get committed code to run in production. Change failure rate: The percenta

My roommate's bill for my own 5 day, $24k hospital stay was $0. My after-insurance cost was $2k, though I negotiated that down to $800 that I was able to pay off over a year (grad student on a stipend). Initially I was a little bitte

Same here. Getting my son out of bed and to school sucks whether it's dark or light out. We both enjoy doing stuff outdoors after I'm done with work, and love having more time for outdoor fun in the summer.

I think my confusion is based on what "local" means in that article. My interpretation was literally the City of Boston, vs the regional catchment area for a team's fan base. Tourism in the umich article, and the sources i
