Hah, yeah. I raised a mini Australian Shepherd from a puppy, and naively thought that experience had at least somewhat prepared me for parenthood.

(It didn’t. At all. It’s an insanely wild ride.)

These are neat, but solve a different problem than the hangers from the submission.

This is rad! I tend to find animation and motion design daunting; the step-by-step construction of the menu really helped me understand how something like this can be put together. Thanks for making this!

This seems... not true, as https://www.sqlite.org/appfileformat.html indicates it "automatically coordinates concurrent access to the same document from multiple threads and/or processes" (search for: "Concurrent Use By Multiple Processes").

Facebook's and Google's customers are advertisers, not end-users, no?

I’m a fan of this one:

  Never give up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it. The time will pass anyway.

In general: try tapping the dots at the top of the app, or tapping the app's icon in the dock.

For Mail specifically: there's an icon in the lower-right of the sidebar that looks like two squares, one on top of the other- try giving tapping that.

  Is the Touch ID sensor the new power button?
Yep.

Took some time to figure out how to type these on a Mac:

1. Go to System Preferences => Keyboard => Input Sources

2. Add Unicode Hex Input as an input source

3. Switch to Unicode Hex Input (assuming you still have the default keyboard shortcuts set up, press Command+Shift+Space)

4. Hold Option and type 001f to get the unit separator

5. Hold Option and type 001e to get the record separator

6. (Hold Option and type a character's code as a 4-digit hex number to get that character)

Sadly, this doesn't seem to work everywhere throughout the OS- I can get control characters to show up in TextMate, but not in Terminal.

The site’s hosted on a machine in his house, and is served over a DSL connection.

He says Node and/or Pulsar are doing well enough (150 connections using ~50 MB of RAM and 40% CPU)- apparently he just doesn’t have enough bandwidth to get everything out to everyone.
