mcmillion··on We Need a Better PC
Take your RMBP back to Apple, that shouldn't be happening.
mcmillion··on What Happened: Adobe Creative Cloud Update Bug
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.

mcmillion··on Quiver: Programmer's Notebook for OS X
Simple solution: Make your own tool for your own preferred platform.
mcmillion··on Why the CDC Tracks Wireless-Only Households and Their Risky Behavior
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.
mcmillion··on Apple Releases new MacBook Pros with Force Touch Trackpad
This was a minor bump, I'm holding out for something bigger once Skylake is ready. Hopefully that will include USB-C.
mcmillion··on How I do my computing
Out of curiosity, what would make that place better?
mcmillion··on Show HN: Shireframe – Open source declarative wireframing tool for programmers
This is absolutely painful to look at.
mcmillion··on Don't React
Space seems to work as well.

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

mcmillion··on SourceTree now has 650,000+ MAUs
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.
mcmillion··on Statements about the Mobile Web
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.

mcmillion··on Show HN: Chroma for Hue, Control Your Philips Hue Bulbs from OS X
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.

mcmillion··on Photos Preview
The beta is out for developers and it's pretty nice.
mcmillion··on Laravel 5 released
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.

mcmillion··on .Trashes, .fseventsd, and .Spotlight-V100
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.
mcmillion··on Atom now using Io.js
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.

mcmillion··on Atom now using Io.js
Atom chugs even with small files, at least when compared to Sublime.

mcmillion··on From Node.js to Go
NPM is only awesome until you need to do something with it on Windows.
mcmillion··on Why junior developers are learning bad habits from Angular
It's like Kinja, but somehow worse.
mcmillion··on Show HN: One click image optimization for GitHub
Awesome idea, but this should really be a build step, not something people run manually, and definitely not touching the source images.
mcmillion··on You Don't Need JQuery
And in 5-10 years, we'll be able to use it.
mcmillion··on It’s time to extend the US Privacy Act to EU citizens
Wait, we have a Privacy Act? I'm assuming it doesn't work, then.
mcmillion··on How I created two images with the same MD5 hash
Few things are as aggravating as a website that commandeers the navigate back gesture.
mcmillion··on One Less Password
I'd much rather just use a password.
mcmillion··on Poll: Did you “drop Dropbox”?
I used Dropbox heavily until I narrowed my hardware down to one laptop. Since then, it's been mostly useless.

mcmillion··on SourceTree for Mac 2.0 Released
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.
mcmillion··on Ask HN: Do you program in multiple languages in a day?
Rails, Laravel, vanilla PHP, daily.

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

mcmillion··on White iPhone 6 Photos and Videos Surface, Look Legitimate
Ugh, protruding camera lens.
