The 3rd-gen iPad had a retina display, but the marketing name for the 4th-gen iPad is "iPad with Retina Display". Yes, when the 4th-gen iPad was released, "The new iPad" (the 3rd-gen iPad) was no longer the new iPad, and

I'm a Mac user and went to check out what Paddle offers users, so I went to http://www.paddle.com/ . It wants me to immediately log in or sign up, something that I'm not particularly inclined to do as I have no ide

Contrast that with what he actually said at the event: That might be one of the additional superpowers that women who don't ask for a raise have. It's good karma, it'll come back, because somebody's going to know "

He says he gave the "wrong" answer to the question, not that the answer he gave was wrong. It was very revealing about what he thinks about paying his employees, especially about not trusting those that ask for raises.

I know the question was posed at a conference about women in technology, but I think a good answer to the question of how to ask for a raise goes beyond narrowing the pay gap between women and men. There are plenty of men, myself included,

I use Reeder too, backed by Fever. With what happened to Google Reader, the fact that Fever is self-hosted and can never go away is a big advantage for me.

In college I lived in an apartment that provided cable TV as part of the rent and I never hooked it up. Even though it literally cost me nothing, I still wasn't interested. I preferred the flexibility of Netflix (and pirating) to watch

I don't know if a single choice would throw many people off, but there's certainly software out there where there's a thriving ecosystem built on top of it to reduce its complexity and number of choices. Ffmpeg comes to mind.

I'm sure that Unread is a great app, but the author seems a little blind to the fact that being featured in the App Store and being written about by prominent bloggers only serve to introduce the product to an audience, not convince th

I think iMessage is a smart choice. it lets their customers communicate via a Mac, iPod, or iPad in addition to an iPhone. Text messages also cost me money, so not having to worry about that is another selling point. It also makes scaling t

Ugh, so many solutions that mutate internal state. I went for a more purely functional approach and kept track of the count with a function parameter (JavaScript): https://github.com/kylecronin/goal/commit/70c

The biggest advantage to self-driving cars that I see is that I can drive a car into a city center, drop myself off, then have the car wander aimlessly through the streets until I need to be picked up. The cost of the gas is almost certainl

Why don't you try it first? You can download a 30-day trial for free. If you like it and want to keep using it after that, you can pay.

It's not required, but Windows 8.1 pushes you very strongly to log into your Microsoft account, and to create one if you haven't already. If you don't, most of the built-in Metro (er, Modern) apps won't work, including s

Even without data caps, a TV connected box shouldn't be pulling down hundreds of GB per month while idle. Without data caps the author of this post may not have had an issue, but that still doesn't make what Amazon's doing OK

You seem to be making the assumption that knowing how to use the terminal is equivalent to preferring to do everything in it. What about people that know how to use the terminal, but prefer to use a GUI text editor like Sublime?

I think there are two kinds of programmers, those that love tweakability and configurability and spend lots of time customizing and perfecting their setup, and those that just want to use stock software with as few modifications as possible

This seems excessive. I feel for the family in this time of loss, and of course I've seen the outpouring of support on Twitter about this color, but I don't see why it makes any sense to make it a permanent part of CSS. Is there a

Was this originally a TC link? Because it now points to the Apple.com page for OS X Yosemite, and some of the comments elsewhere in this thread no longer make sense. I didn't know it was possible for mods to change the link associated

The whole purpose behind Vint is to presumably have thousands of people reading what is posted. Hypothetically, if there are 20,000 Vint users and they all want to post something, it'll take almost 3 years to give everyone their say.

Yes, you can architect a system that's more difficult to compromise or knock offline, but a better solution would be to remove the need to trust the server or to have it constantly online. To their credit, the Keybase guys have done th

I really like that this service allows the use of existing VPS providers instead of wrapping their service around one and charging a monthly premium. Unfortunately, PHP is one of the easiest to install, low-maintenance language platforms, s

Anyone that values their privacy should never trust a service like this. The idea of in-browser encryption and decryption is nothing new, and it always suffers from the fact that the server can replace the client side software at any time w
