I've seen it. Unless you are good with your money and have a lasting career as an above average performer, I'm not sure that a lot of pro athletes are as wealthy as people think.

For my situation, I had four or five background tasks, each consuming < 50MB and 0 CPU.

I'm on Windows, and I see a similar thing. 0% CPU, ~130MB of RAM in Task Manager. Most of my 16GB of RAM is being consumed by my mess of open Chrome windows.

I used to pay for a subscription to Railscasts, and it was money well spent. It's too bad that Ryan stopped making new videos. Railscasts was awesome. In particular, I really loved the ASCIIcast feature on each video. I can't say

I'd like to also chime in on how great Greenshot is. I started using Greenshot after Skitch got EOL'ed, and while it's not perfect, I find it indispensable for sharing screenshots with coworkers.

In Sublime for Windows, I am using the default font with a size of 10.5. I have always tended to use higher dpi screens on laptops (i.e. 1680 and 1080 @ 15" running at 1:1) so I have years of conditioning to small text on screens. An a

>> The resolution is great, and avoiding the DPI scaling needed for practical use of most 4K screens is key. While ymmv, I have been using a pair of 27" 4K Dell P2715Q's as my working monitors running with no scaling (1:1).
