I use TM2 regularly and really like it for these reasons. My only real gripe, and why I might switch to ST3 at some point, is auto complete. TM technically has code completion[1], but I've never found it particularly useful compared to

Me too; been with them since '04 when they were webmail.us and not a single issue.

I think the better option is to update the app until it starts getting worse, then switch to something better. If I was depending on a particular app to a point where losing feature X or Y would be any kind of disaster, I'd be actively look

Depends on what you mean by background. You can't use an iOS app while it is being updated (or in the queue to be updated), but you can do anything else. I'd call that a background update.

> With numbers this low, and steadily decreasing, electric vehicles are viable for nearly all drivers. I guess I should go look at the actual NHTS data, but mean and median might not actually support this assertion. They're way too gene

Pretty much exactly what I was thinking. The points about charging apply to any electric vehicle, though, and that's where I have trouble seeing electric cars really taking off. The Tesla approach seems great if your only use case is up to

Did you read the whole post, or just the end? The TL;DR on this post is that without Android, iOS would be in about the same place they are now. Some other platform would have taken Android's place. The biggest difference would have been th

It also discourages developers from making high-quality apps. If I have to buy 5 different apps for $3 to find the one I like best, I've just given $12 to the developers of apps I'm never going to use again and the best app developer still

But it's Markdown instead of MediaWiki syntax. Markdown's got a lot of momentum right now, and for good reason.

Agreed. Also, as a long-time NetBSD user, I'd be much more interested in having a package manager that's as easy and flexible as Homebrew on NetBSD rather than running pkgsrc on my Mac.

I think the title of this article is a little misleading. It's easy to bash Craigslist over their dated (or lack of) style, but the problem with Craigslist really comes down to usability, which is not the same thing as prettiness. Craigslis

They've got to work within the law, and the law hasn't caught up yet. I'm sure this sort of thing will be sorted out eventually, but in the meantime a lot of small businesses will still get hurt or destroyed.

NewsBlur is an open source alternative that's worked great for me over the past year or so. Even if GR isn't destined to be shut down, NewsBlur's worth the switch just for the Intelligence feature.

Cool; I really like this idea. A couple of suggestions to make it even better: 1. Add icons for the available services in addition to the names. 2. Add an "Other RSS" button that gives the user an easy way to copy and paste the feed URL int

As a Seattle resident paying 9.5% sales tax on Amazon stuff, I agree with this. Just can't beat that convenience.

Sure, of course they want to minimize fragmentation. But developers have been making apps for the 3.5" (3:2) form factor since 2008. So continuing to make a 3.5" (3:2) phone alongside a 5" phone (either 3:2 or 16:9 or anything else) wouldn'

Buyers wanting a small phone or better one-handed operation could still buy a 4” iPhone, and people who want a large screen would finally have an iPhone as an option. If this is the case, why would Apple have increased the screen size for

Yep, although you may have trouble fitting all of that on a 64 GB Air.

I do both. Most companies respect unsubscribe requests and those that persist get blacklisted. This seems like an an easy problem to solve; not sure that it warrants a 650 word blog post.

I think it was clear long ago that Google+ is just Google, or at least it's what Google thinks their future is. It's easy enough to avoid Google+, though: just stop using Google products and services. There are plenty of great alternatives

I run NetBSD as a web server, but not for any good reason -- it's just personal preference. I ended up with NetBSD rather than one of the other variants because it's easy to set up as a Xen domU (instructions at http://wiki.prgmr.com/media

I've found DuckDuckGo to be slow and very poor at long-tail searches. +1 for StartPage as a credible Google alternative.

Just like anything else, selling in person to a stranger is not without risk either. I wonder how the frequency of robberies associated with Craigslist sales compares against eBay fraud like this one. Personally, I'd rather get hit with a c

Seller Protection should protect the seller in the case of obvious fraud like this regardless of what the credit card company says.

"Jeff Bezos calls for governments to end patent wars" seems a bit dramatic when you consider his actual statements. From the article, he actually said (emphasis mine): "...we're _starting_ to be in a world where [patents] might start to

I can't believe that anyone really thinks Facebook, at least in anything close to its current form, will still exist in 20 years. It'll just be something we all nostalgically laugh about from time to time, just like AOL or Geo Cities.
