I second Workflowy for reference, but I'd suggest using something else for todos. Having commitments and reference separated was a game changer for me coming from a GTD workflow without a dedicated reference tool. Personally I use Omni

I find it funny that the human interface guidelines for iOS states the following under User Control: > Throughout iOS, people—not apps—are in control. An app can suggest a course of action or warn about dangerous consequences, but it’s u

A liability is something you pay to keep, while an asset is something you get paid to keep. Simple and obvious examples are stocks that pay dividends and a loan that accumulates interest. How to identify into which bucket a house, a car or

Another habit that rich people have over "poor" people is that they invest in assets and not liabilities, and their ability to categorise investments into these two buckets. An asset as in something that contributes to your net va

This resonated really well with me. I know people ask you to try and do the opposite (which I guess won't hurt from time to time), but I also think it's really awarding to do exploration this way. I think it may apply better to ar

I guess it depends, for one-off tasks you'll have to compile and run the Crystal code. I assume you ran the code above with `crystal run`. If you first compile the code with `crystal build --release` and run it, you should see a dramat

So you're not allowed to be self-employed by a corporation that you own yourself in the US? I thought this was pretty normal practice for contractors, especially in IT. I own my own company where I do contracting work for clients and t

And the problem with raising taxes on capital gains will be investors moving their holdings to other countries to reduce their taxes. So long as the taxes on capital gains are kept at a comparable rate across countries, this isn't a pr

Salaries (and bonuses) are considered expenses for the company and will be tax deductible. I believe the example was that you may as a contractor (with your own company) receive a bonus to your corporation and be able to offset taxes for an

I believe this is partially due to the lack of incremental compilation, which is on the roadmap [0] for 1.0. The compiler itself builds in ~10 seconds. [1] [0]: https://github.com/crystal-lang/crystal/wiki/Roa

I totally agree, and had to Google for answers for this decision. The rationale, at least what I found, to be that people wouldn't let it completely charge with a different design, but with this one people would leave it charging overn

Surprised the list doesn't mention PGHero ( https://github.com/ankane/pghero ). It's been really useful at our company to find slow queries and identify missing indices.

Except you're not able to get LPDDR3 with more than 16GB of RAM, so you'll need more power..? I might be wrong.

You can re-map the Escape key to Caps Lock. I bought the new MBP and got used to this. Although I returned it later and went back to my previous machine, I still use Caps Lock as Escape. I'm using Karabiner Elements on Sierra. br
