It was probably Newton Works: https://www.newted.org/download/manuals/0306284ANWWPUM.PDF (PDF User manual)

They recently announced that table support is coming: https://mailchi.mp/shinyfrog/bear-sneak-peek-2019?e=61b84ce0...

The Checks API is available for all GitHub Apps (the next-generation of GitHub integrations, see: https://developer.github.com/apps/), not just apps on the Marketplace. That said, I'm not aware of a Jenkins plugin that acts as a GitHub App (yet).

Another free/open source/easily deployable to Heroku alternative is Hookable:

To be more accurate, your Mac isn't Linux, it's BSD. Luckily that *NIX underpinning is often enough to make it a solid development platform even when deploying to Linux.

A "reasonable approach" using technology that doesn't work: http://www.politico.com/story/2015/08/airport-security-price...

In this case, we're dealing with malicious stupidity. Edge of the razor?

Web & Android are both listed as "Coming Soon" at http://www.timeful.com

I think it comes down to the old "If you're not paying for the product, you are the product" idea. We like to think that if we're paying (anything) for something, then we are the customer and there is an implied contract between us and the vendor.

That's not to say that being a paying customer means a company won't also sell your data (just look at nearly every major retailer).

Which is soon followed by the inevitable "but I was already taxed on this money!" wealthy investor complaint.

This really isn't what Foursquare is anymore. It's become a rather good location database & discovery platform.

I never used it when it was "hot" (~2012), but in the past few months I've really come to like it for finding places (restaurants, etc.) & making lists. Also, their tools for making edits to the DB are quite impressive, and they do a great job of leveraging superusers to moderate those changes.

Foursquare is the one you want then. Swarm is where the check-ins, friend-finder, and plan-making functionality is.

The $27/month via AT&T Next doesn't lock you into a 2-year service contract.

Actually, the current AT&T Next offering isn't bad, they simply take the full price of the phone and divide by 20 or 24 months.

If you cancel service before the end of the period, you owe the balance of the price of the phone. It's essentially a 0% loan for the phone.

(BTW, the $27/month installment price means the Fire Phone's real price is ~$650)

Because your homepage doesn't attract many TB of traffic?

Photoshop export (yes, even Save for Web) is notoriously inefficient. As others have mentioned here, ImageOptim (and the various command line tools it uses) can make your images significantly smaller (particularly PNGs).

Personally, I prefer Acorn to Pixelmator. It's on sale for a limited time: http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

Las Vegas casino hostesses (the ones that bring you "free" drinks while you gamble) work exclusively for tips.

Of course in reality, if that server doesn't make at least minimum wage in tips and tries to claim it from their employer, they'll simply get fired.

Despite your personal anecdote, I found Porter's 6-part series last summer on tipping in the restaurant industry quite fascinating and enlightening: http://jayporter.com/dispatches/observations-from-a-tipless-...

I remain unconvinced that tipping culture improves service, and it's most certainly sexist, racist, and ageist.

Lightworks seems promising, and they announced they would be going open-source over 3 years ago. Sadly, it still hasn't happened.

Last I heard, they said it would happen after a Mac version is released, but it's hard to find more info.

There's also going to be a Mike Judge-created HBO series called "Silicon Valley": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicon_Valley_(TV_series)

…if you ignore every "spec" other than CPU, RAM, storage and screen size.

Then you read about men like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanislav_Petrov and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Arkhipov and are are somewhat comforted that cold hard logic doesn't launch nukes.
