Consulting would be perfect except when the lights go out you don't own anything.


Realising that different font sizes need to be in proportion to each other (e.g 3:4 or golden ratio) made the cake for me when I briefly studied typography a while back. This article touches it as well.


Although the article immediately loses points for proposing an absurdly precise ratio for font sizes based on a mathematical constant whose interesting properties are utterly irrelevant here.

What matters is that your range of sizes are visually equivalent or clearly distinct when you need them to be, and that the text looks good at each size in your chosen fonts. Generating a geometric scale of 7 or 8 different sizes by just multiplying some base value by a random ratio will not achieve those goals with any screen fonts I have ever worked with.


My vote goes for the short 1-minute video with understandable presentation of how the product works and solves my problem rather than reading paragraphs of text.


The occasional screen freeze with Macbook Pro late 2013 model here. Too bad its not covered by this program. Oh well, have to restart it manually here and there.


It would be nice of Apple to disclose exactly what has been causing the problem on older models, and to explain in detail what lucky accidental change they made to their manufacturing process in late 2013 which supposedly fixed a problem they implicitly claim they were unaware existed until now.


Same here, rMBP late 2013. Problems happen most frequently when plugged into an external thunderbolt display.


The recent funding news seemed really strange when I have been feeling like the author for a while. I think SO is going downhill fast and people running it don't even realize it. Joel, where are you? So sad, used to like SO when it came around and now the way it's being moderated makes you want to just leave.


Sneakers - one of the best computer movies when I was a kid. I used to watch it over and over again. Good times. Must go find it somewhere. That movie probably had an impact on actually getting into the business later on.


I loved this movie and I still watch it a few times a month as I am working on other things. Sometimes listening to movies provides me more focus than random music from my playlists.


I'm the same way - for me, "Bladerunner", "Barbarella" and "Flash Gordon" are on auto-repeat as my background noise for serious coding sessions. For some reason these 3 movies just work so well in that sense ..

This thing rocks! I always thought about building something similar - didn't know it's called linear programming though.


I need inspiration at specific time and for that a periodic email is not going to cater me well. Would you consider delivering this in some other format - for example online gallery that is available when I need it?


For now I'm going to keep it as an email list. If the participation is high enough, I'll start posting people's completed projects to the site. Kind of a "completed projects" gallery


Why not make the Mailchimp archive public? Folks can subscribe if they want, get a feed, or view the archive. Content is the same either way. And that'd solve the "I'd like to see what I'm subscribing to" questions.


Good idea. Will do!


I'm desperately wanting this also. I found that you can have unlimited nested _tags_ but the UI just doesn't support tags as first class citizen and doesn't have convenient way to move notes between tags while showing hierarchy (for notebooks I'm doing Ctrl-Cmd-M all the time).


Your post has been closed as it does not describe a real problem but is instead suspect to opinions.
