I find that committing parts of a file in GitX is much easier than using interactive mode in the terminal. That's not a question of understanding the git model, it's just choosing the best tool for the job.

I started feeling the same way a few months ago. It is hard to define exactly what changed. Some of the time I question whether it might have been me that changed rather than Gruber. It's validating that other's are starting to feel the sam

Does google consider gmail users to have value? Be it via ad views or good will, etc. If so, then is it in their interest to provide a commensurate level of support to their users? Sure there's no legal binding contract, but at what point d

When I bought my first Macbook Pro a few years ago, I purchased it for the hardware and intended to use it to run Windows in Bootcamp. After spending a little time with OS X I came to appreciate it and I now use it exclusively. But my favor

The article doesn't have any actual hard facts regarding the hellish conditions. For instance: "According to Liu, the plant makes employees work around the clock, only pausing briefly to eat or sleep." How long exactly is "briefly"? 3 hours

My guess would be that it is the body of information that google indexes and ranks that has skewed over time, and not that google is skewing the results. It is also likely that google's ranking algorithms reflect the fact that sensational a

Interesting, when I went to the Wakemate site I was hoping for a product that looks like a tennis wristband, which I know to be comfortable. I didn't pre-order because I'm not confident the neoprene looking band would be comfortable to sle

I'm not sure if you're referring to the boycotters or HN. But I'd hardly call a vocal minority "the market." The lines in the Whole Foods a couple blocks from my apartment seem to be just as long as ever.
