   Indeed. Increasingly I'm viewing iOS apps as value-add only, that is to say apps attached to a given service or other offering, designed to augment such a service. I am sure people will cite a zillion examples of businesses that make

   Same deal for me with Safari. No, it's not acceptable for an entire system to lockup, and no this is not hardware related.

   Truth be told, I'm feeling the same urges. The golden age of my Mac was years ago. I switched to Macs in 2002, and had the most amazing computing period of my life between then and approximately 2011. Since then the random reboots o

    This right here is my strongest motivator for embracing remote working. Reclaiming these hours has been the single most liberating and uplifting thing I've done in the pursuit of the oft promoted but rarely implemented work-life balan

    I'm assuming this is file size optimization for website use? It would be nice to see a video demo of this before I hand over my GitHub credentials. :-) Call me Mr. Paranoia if you wish; I apologize. I'm sure there are best intent

    I'll second this as my own anecdotal experience. I rate the primary cause to be cleaner and fresher air, perhaps about 90% of the problem solved. I'd say the last 10% is that airlines are smarter about dealing with turbulence.

    At the risk of being overly sentimental or mushy, I feel compelled to say that the responses in this thread represent exactly what brought me to the tech / hacker community back in the early '90s. Thank you to the original poster

    Many reasons, best presented in list form, in no particular order of significance. * Enjoyment. I like constructing intangible things inside computers such as data structures, and manipulating them. * Problem or task solving. I like makin

    Excellent points, very well stated. I could not agree more.

    I second this. I've been a remote worker on and off for a long time, and have long sung the virtues (whilst objectively recognizing the drawbacks). This book goes a long way to helping articulate my findings.

    These are wise words that sum up the colossally unfair system we have of compensation for any occupation in any economy in any industry. My own personal aphorism when talking down someone who is annoyed at their compensation compared to a

    I really wish I understood all the fuss about YKK zippers. I first heard the word on the street about YKK being amazing many years ago, perhaps 20 years ago, in a similar article. Then I see plenty of support for this, but my own personal

    Heh - yes - the status bar. I don't mind it being there, in fact it should be. But on my iPhone 5 it renders in some shade of eggshell when the rest of the interface is white. In my humble opinion, it should be the same colour as th

    I like this new client! Good work. It's refreshing to see an HN client with a 2014 era UI. I also love that it's Open Source. Couple of items of feedback for you. #1 Please make the top off-white colour bar go away; it's j
