Unsure if April Fool's joke...


It would be the most boring April Fools joke of the day. As a real thing I find it quite useful.


Would be the worst April Fools joke ever. Even above "drop mic" by Google.


Confirmed as not a joke. (The change is subtle as you have to click the green Merge button before being presented with the ability to choose a merge type via a combo button/dropdown component.)


I'd cry.


Not a joke. Squash away. :)


This is wonderful!

How about a third option to fast forward if applicable?



Did you edit a typo or was I just blind? I searched for mudrock, not muckrock. Thanks. :D


Yeah, I edited it. Sorry! :)

Oh my gosh, please nobody use this.


This should really point to the full-page article:

    http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/03/business/how-apple-and-other-corporations-move-profit-to-avoid-taxes.html?pagewanted=all
And the title should be updated to the actual article title: "Apple's Move Keeps Profit Out of Reach of Taxes"


I think you might be underestimating the level of pay for developers in a lot of the "big" areas. (SF, Silicon Valley, NYC) I've personally heard of friends (fresh college grads) getting offers anywhere from $70k to $150k.


Fresh college grads getting $150k? I find that incredibly hard to believe.


As a fresh college grad from a non-top tier school in Silicon Valley, many of my friends are making ~$100K/year right out of school. I'm sure people from top tier schools going to Google and Facebook can make double that.


Cmd-Shift-4 allows you to select a portion of the screen to screenshot. If you press Space after, you can select whole windows.


The thing is upshot doesn't seem to trigger if portion of the screenshot is selected. Capturing the whole window works though.

Edit: someone has opened a github issue for this https://github.com/fwenzel/upshot/issues/28


Yes this was unintentional. Thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it!

I'll also need to add automated updates soon, or I can't notify people of updates ;)


This sounds like a keto diet. If so, welcome! :)

The title should say

    OS X 10.8.1


I'd completely forgotten that they'd changed the name. As someone who grew up with 'System 6' and 'System 7', it feels weird to chop off so much of the name all of a sudden.

Also, saying 'OS Ten' out loud just seems generic.


> Also, saying 'OS Ten' out loud just seems generic.

I've long wondered when Apple would bump "OS X" to something like "OS 11" or just make OS "Ex" the official pronunciation. I figured they would "pull a Solaris" and claim "OS 11" just meant "OS X 10.11.0". Now it seems like it will become "iOS" everywhere.


    TL;DR

    What follows is a more detailed explanation of the benchmark configuration and results. TL;DR is short for "too long; don't read". If you get all the way to the end and understand it, you get a prize...
I believe it's "Too Long; Didn't Read"


Ya, they've got it backwards. I was a little confused when the TL;DR was longer than the first part.


I sure they meant "too long; don't read" to fall in line with their "prize" of coming to interview if you could make sense of the explanations and benchmarks.
