gknapp··on The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Review
This has been true with every Zelda game I've played, more or less. Link never gains experience or levels, but you get better at using the tools and solving the puzzles. The caveat is that you can often get a better primary weapon that effectively makes you stronger.

That being said, aside from Skyward Sword, Zelda has always been about falling in love with the art and lore, as well as problem solving through the dungeons.

gknapp··on Behind the Pixel: Google’s First Real Threat to Apple’s iPhone
This line from their product announcement page indicates that even though they're teaming up to have the phone available in Verizon stores, they're also selling unlocked directly from the Google Play store:

> We’re also offering Pixel unlocked on the Google Store and, for you Project Fi fans out there, you'll be happy to know that Pixel is the latest device to work on the Fi network.

gknapp··on Show HN: PSequel – a free PostgreSQL GUI Tool for Mac OS X
I've used SQLWorkbenchJ on the daily for the last year and a half for postgres (on OSX). It gets a lot of flak because it's java based, can be a bit buggy, and doesn't have the nicest interface. However, if you look past those items, it has some really great features:

- DB Explorer (tab for exploring schema, allows you to search through large sets of tables and other items very easily - primo)

- SQL Formatting

- Well thought out user shortcuts for executing queries

- Intelligent auto-completion

Really, they essentially loaded it with every feature imaginable, which may make it feel clunky, but it's a total Clydesdale in terms of functionality.

gknapp··on PostgreSQL Studio
I'm amazed no on mentioned SQLWorkbenchJ. For postgres on Mac, it is infinitely better than pgAdmin. There are a few usability issues (manually setting the JDBC driver, for one), but once you get the hang of it, it's quick and very fully featured. I use it over Navicat, and it's free.
