Performance for everything under Yosemite is terrible for me. I won't upgrade my main work-mac until I'm convinced they've gotten Yosemite more stable and better performing. This looks like a promising tool, but its limit pl

You don't need to find them if you are using nuclear depth charges. You just need to know they are "in the area". The old "close enough for horseshoes and grenades" adage applies - although even less precision is

My grandfather, a retired Milk Truck driver, really got into Heathkit and built several things, including a large TV. It made a strong impression on me when I was in elementary school. I was rather disappointed when I got old enough to do

There was no scroll bar for the text in the right hand frame, although arrow keys seemed to work. Also my back button was broken and I couldn't return to Hacker News. (I'm using Opera on a Mac.)

I've met several managers who have flat out stated that they believe a technical person with a lot of books on their desk isn't very technical or skilled. They'd rather have employees who actually knew stuff and didn't

My guess the emphasis on these packages would be because subscription based revenue models are more predictable and stable. Too many choices confuses people, so they keep it simple. $3.00 per task (for the smallest plan), perhaps they foun
