Might be a net improvement, as the quality of the devices was headed downward even when the organization was fully staffed. I'd be content for the devices to be left alone in stasis instead of having someone tinker with something and break it, just as they made reliable Bluetooth connectivity that I used to take for granted into a daily exercise in frustration.

I have fond memories using Qt on Symbian. Thank you for your work.

I wanted to jump in and praise this project. After INSTEON suddenly shut down last month, I was able to set up Home Assistant and restore control to the perfectly functional network of devices orphaned by their makers.

Great work, all!

I don't know if the Moment.js folks are reading this, but THANK YOU for your commitment to stability and security fixes.

Not all of us are in a situation where we're iterating through the JavaScript new hotness every couple years and still have significant legacy systems to maintain and support.

Santa's Map to Christmas is an app for Android and iOS devices where I've been geocoding classic Christmas stories for the holiday season. I read through the stories, extract the contexts where places are mentioned and geocode those places so readers know where places like Bethlehem or Ebenezer Scrooge's offices are located. For places where I can find illustrations, I include images with the entries for a rich location-aware experience.

I hope HNers find some joy in this creation, and have a very happy holiday!

I upgraded my late-2008 iMac with Mavericks to see if it performed better than Mountain Lion given that my machine's maxed out at 4GB of RAM and my experience thus far has been that overall, the system is more responsive, but there's a lot more latency in doing things like restoring backgrounded applications that haven't been quit, but are still running. It may be that my machine is too old, but Mavericks has just shifted the latency around in this case.

"Viacom was founded by PHD students at MIT..."

Wasn't it Viaweb? Big difference between Viacom (the media conglomerate) and Viaweb, the online shop software.
