Take your RMBP back to Apple, that shouldn't be happening.
Re:What Happened: Adobe Creative Cloud Update Bug on Monday February 15, 2016 @12:54PM (#11104770)
It's deplorable. I follow Adobe on Twitter and pay attention to various sites. I heard about the problem from BackBlaze.

Absolutely 100% unacceptable. Massive props to the BackBlaze team for handling Adobe's shitstorm so well.

Simple solution: Make your own tool for your own preferred platform.
If all the cellphones holders are not present and someone in the house needs 911, I'm fine with that, because that person shouldn't be in my house.
This was a minor bump, I'm holding out for something bigger once Skylake is ready. Hopefully that will include USB-C.

Out of curiosity, what would make that place better?
This is absolutely painful to look at.

Space seems to work as well.

I love it when a page telling you not to use something fails at UX.

Re:SourceTree now has 650,000+ MAUs on Wednesday February 25, 2015 @11:06AM (#9107377)
SourceTree went downhill after the last major UI overhaul and never really recovered. I used to love it for more involved commits (picking apart lines and hunks, etc), but now it's slow and clunky, even on nice hardware.
Re:Statements about the Mobile Web on Friday February 20, 2015 @11:56AM (#9081307)
Yes. Anything less than this becomes perceptible and starts to make the UX feel janky or sluggish. That is a huge turn-off for a lot of users, even if they can't pin down the exact cause being low framerate.

And framerate in UI is a different beast compared to video. A menu animation running at 24fps feels much choppier and sluggish than a video running at 24fps.

I tried this last night, and it's definitely a step in the right direction. It seemed to be missing custom presets, though, and I'm not always at my computer, so I end up using an app on my phone to control the lights more.

Sadly, the first-party mobile app still seems to be the best bet overall, and it's a complete piece of garbage quality-wise, but it provides everything I seem to need.

The beta is out for developers and it's pretty nice.
Re:Laravel 5 released on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @11:07AM (#8997592)
I tend to use Laravel when the client/project forces me to use PHP rather than Rails. It's not bad when coming from the Rails world.

I also have a bit of pride that it's made in Arkansas. Yes, we have computers and the internet here.

Re:.Trashes, .fseventsd, and .Spotlight-V100 on Wednesday February 04, 2015 @09:22AM (#8996892)
Most of the users I know wouldn't know where to go to set up a Time Machine drive. The fact that it prompts them flat out is how they even got it set up in the first place.
Re:Atom now using Io.js on Tuesday February 03, 2015 @05:06PM (#8993771)
Right. I think this is the point that people are really making.

Right now, Atom is just too slow when compared with other editors such as Sublime. Given enough time it shouldn't be an issue (maybe), but right now I think it's a huge pain point for a lot of devs.

Re:Atom now using Io.js on Tuesday February 03, 2015 @05:05PM (#8993759)
Atom chugs even with small files, at least when compared to Sublime.

It's like Kinja, but somehow worse.
Re:Show HN: One click image optimization for GitHub on Tuesday December 23, 2014 @10:59AM (#8788625)
Awesome idea, but this should really be a build step, not something people run manually, and definitely not touching the source images.

Wait, we have a Privacy Act? I'm assuming it doesn't work, then.

Re:Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”? on Wednesday October 01, 2014 @10:54AM (#8394848)
I used Dropbox heavily until I narrowed my hardware down to one laptop. Since then, it's been mostly useless.

Re:SourceTree for Mac 2.0 Released on Friday September 26, 2014 @10:34AM (#8372828)
Agreed. I still use it for more complex operations that are just a pain in the CLI, but the interface has really gone downhill over the past year.
Re:Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day? on Monday September 08, 2014 @11:21AM (#8285242)
Rails, Laravel, vanilla PHP, daily.

If I had it my way, it would just be Rails. Much more productive.
