    iCloud backup costs $0.99 for 50GB of space. It's basically free.

    It reads to me like a self important rant. I don't know what the author tried to do to resolve these issues, but the tone of the article doesn't make me optimistic.

    > don't underestimate the effects on brand value, which will come subconsciously, if you look at ads. This is exactly why I use adblock.

    I really like the idea of merge conflicts being resolved in the open in a pull request, instead of the pull requester working in seclusion. For those of us with projects on GitHub,…

    > 1) I don't think providing the message (-m) on the command line is a good habit for beginners. Why? I started that way and still do it today. Is it considered a bad practice?

    I'm pretty pleased with lollipop. Some of your complaints may be down to personal choice, but not all. For example, the triangle animation changes from pointing left when the actio…

    If .rtf/.doc is in such high demand, can't we output to those formats using LaTeX? I think of it as just another output alongside dvi/pdf/etc, but I know very little of the interna…

    And episode 8, "Sisters of the Sun"[1], covered Pickering and his "colleagues", several women nicknamed computers, namely Annie Jump Cannon, and Cecilia Payne. [1] https://en.wikip…

    If I were paying ~2400/yr and was given the option of ~1000/yr, I would think I've been grossly overpaying for the monthly option. In your shoes I would offer one month free for 22…

    I need this basically everyday. I develop iOS apps and need pngs for icons all the time, and I'm just not that handy with photoshop yet. Please don't let this app die anytime soon!…

    What tools are you trying to use that make it such a hassle?

    It seems more likely that simply dying before getting old enough to develop cancer is the reason there was less incidence of cancer centuries ago.

    The article mentions a 0.8% decline in protein concentration. That seems negligibly low. Does such a small variance really matter to foods? The interesting part seems to be the inc…

    I'm a little biased because I do practice yoga. But I also walk. And, for me personally, yoga is always a more vigorous workout. I can't imagine how walking could ever approach the…

    I think it is safe to assume, with I/O around the corner, they're selling off the rest of v1 stock. I'm looking forward to v2 and a price drop in v1.

    That does look better. How could a blur be incorporated into the ttf?

    Unsubstantiated ad hominem against mac users to complain about the open source nature of a cross platform product. Did you burn your breakfast?

    Back then it was more difficult to tell the crap from the quality stuff. Crap substitutes don't last too long on the market these days with online reviews. I'm rarely hesitant to b…

    I've been using XVim for over a year now and it's been reasonably stable. They have an issue with code folding but then I don't fold while the plugin is enabled.
