Why the title change?

They didn't for me - it meant my SO would wake me up after they'd been woken up.

I then started wearing headphones to bed so that I would hear the phone ring and not disturb them, but when you're rolling out of bed and hopping on a call at 3AM it's difficult.

What I seriously underestimated was the strain that being on-call can put on a relationship, it's a massive regret.

You’d assume so, but this is in fact false. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue–green_distinction_in_la...

Looks fantastic! Could this be made available in the Canadian App Store by chance?
Unfortunately quite a bit more complicated on the back end of things when you need to report on it. Both loading a webpage and downloading it have a similar request pattern. Take, for example, a PDF file which loads seamlessly in Chrome.

If this is something you can currently distinguish, I’d be very interested in hearing more!

Just a quick aside here, having not had to deal with Plex support before. Their support email is disabled, and honestly soured me immediately on the handling of this announcement. I realize that this is probably a trend, but emailing someone about an issue I will most likely want to talk about via a no reply address, then responding as follows is sure to run many the wrong way as I under no circumstances would like to join your forum:

As much as we would love to talk to every single one of our users, we are simply unable to provide one-on-one support via email.

You might have a hard time avoiding both.

I can't agree more - I'm a huge proponent for star rating systems. I get that they are perhaps more complicated than a Boolean value, but they help me out personally.

I miss the days of "tap tap scroll four clicks" on the iPod to help me rate new music, specifically.

Interesting info, but I find it odd that none of the photo sources are credited.

That's roughly "normal" or "short tele". Definitely not the best length for portrait, which starts around 70mm imho.
I can't speak for the certs, but I can tell you that the DevOps course was actually pretty good. It had many real-world examples, wasn't copy-paste-click-next heavy and had great intros to the newer tech such as Lambda.
This is a fantastic example of the reason we went with Gitlab! I wish other products were this pro-active! Keep up the great work folks.
Just a quick chime in here - our system does in fact do that, and though I can't speak with authority about others, my understanding is that they do the same.
Re:Show HN: Polarr.co, a WebGL photo editor on Thursday October 30, 2014 @01:59PM (#8534621)
Will do - but I suppose a "filter-less" version might be what I was leaning toward, as a potential user.

This is an awesome idea.

I think what people might be missing is that even with the features you currently have, there's a market for this application already, though maybe not as a stand-alone lightroom replacement.

If you think about batching, my brain immediately starts gravitating towards real estate, headshots, HS seniors photos, ENG.

In short: drop the filters, put the "basic" controls on the left, focus on what you do best.

Kudos, folks, I'll be watching this one!
