On the business side, it's great to see Apple continue to invest in value delivery. For folks who have Apple affinity but who want lossless, this should be a no brainer. It's a much simpler (and somewhat cheaper) pricing model tha

Investors want it because people want it. I'm a longtime IRC user. I have native IRC apps on every device I own. Despite this, Slack/Discord are better in terms of user experience in almost every way, and users are clearly voting

I read it in 2011 when it came out, and I still have a vague memory of the memory palace he teaches you to build. I used my childhood home to remember: - Garlic in the driveway - Six bottles of wine playing catch with three pairs of socks -

I did the same. After using the site's Spotlight once, I used Cmd+Space to try it again and was blown away by how complete the app list was. "The attention to detail is incredible," I thought. "These are almost the exact

I've had the same experience. I grew up in Staten Island, the son of a couple of Brooklyn Italians. As a kid I had what I now hear as a comically heavy Brooklyn accent. As a middle-middle class kid surrounded by other kids like me, I c

This is a brilliant idea. Where were you back then? I would've benefitted immensely from a Xanga or LiveJournal post about this.

Absolutely. I'm curious about your pricing. $700/month looks like the right balance between weeding out the tiny/expensive to support customers and not constraining your market too much. How'd you land on a seat-based mo

I've had this problem in literally every company I've been at. As a PM I'd be asked by my GM or CEO or Sales VP when they'll have a 'better demo environment' and I'd say, 'give me two engineers for se

If you're interested in observing this in realtime, there's a great Twitter account called @nyt_diff[0] that automatically posts when headlines on the front page change. Really cool to watch articles get updated as stories evolve.

Protip: go the other direction. I've found that re-downloading the whole thing into a new library is >10x faster than resyncing your local 'originals' with iCloud. I have no idea why this is, but I've done the 'd

In hardware, it's not enough to design the object itself. Objects need to be made . At large scale, they need to be manufactured. When you manufacture novel objects, you must also design all of the object-specific tooling that goes in

Check out Arccos! Requires you to add little sensors to the butt of each club, but it’s seamless as far as tracking goes.
