This is always the opinion parroted by people in SF. Come live in NYC, and you'll see how well expansive development of massive condo buildings helps housing affordability. (Spoiler: it doesn't) The buildings are built with promis

I can only imagine they do this because the old versions are using deprecated libraries/frameworks, and needed to be updated to use the latest stuff- not just for aesthetic purposes, but for maintainability and security.

Not a designer, but I pretend to be one sometimes... One thing I've always read is to avoid relying on gradients in logos.

I use a zsh plugin that changes the F1/2/3 keys to show information about my cwd, so I can have a simplified PS1. I can't remember the name of the plugin, but I'm sure you can find it if you're interested.

Maybe the project can get started, add some donation links, and someone from Apple will help them out (with info or docs). Management probably doesn't even realize this is an issue. Perhaps getting this started will get some visibility

Emperically, a friend's bag company rented space in the LES for 1 month last December, and broke even on sales. This company is online only, and they justified the storefront as a marketing opertunity. The space cost them $18k for the

People who were in NYC in the 80s still don't take the subway. They drive everywhere.

There are plenty of business in NYC that would be very happy to have an affordable lease on that street for even 6 months. Only big slow companies want long leases, and only big companies can afford the bloated rent. I don't agree that

We use this as a secondary remote. Google's security model inside of a project means that you can grant accesses between select services without authentication. E.g., we keep our main private repo at gihub, but when we want to auto-bui

A friend of mine is a professional mix engineer in NYC. He's worked with several large artists, you've probably heard of. He strongly believes in setting numerically interesting values for things like eq, gain reduction, song leng

Me either. I'm in NYC on TWC. I can't resolve PayPal with Google's DNS or with TWC dns servers. Also, I'm unable to resolve Twitter on TWC dns.

I agree. Get a good chair. Years ago, I had to sit in one of those leather OfficeMax chairs. I developed all sorts of back pain. I realized it was the chair when I changed jobs (and chairs) and the back pain went away. People have a lot of

I think Golang would have been a better choice. They already have a fairly mature Go SDK, and redistribution of Go binaries is so much easier.

I agree. Apple needs to take a page from Android, and start breaking up these apps and distributing them outside of the OS so they can deliver new features faster. Why do we have to update the entire OS just to get a new version of the phot

There are so many things that can go wrong with ZipCar in NYC. I never had a good experience, and it ended up being considerably more expensive than just renting a car for 24 hours. It's probably fine in other cities- but it just doesn
