Related to the previous post, Joshua Bernstein writes about the increasingly crowded craft beer market:
I’m onboard with America abandoning middle-of-the-road beer and exploring flavorful new directions. The highway, however, is getting mighty crowded. Hundreds of different beers debut weekly, creating a scrum of session IPAs, spiced witbiers, and barrel-aged stouts scuffling for shelf space. For consumers, the situation is doubly confusing. How can you pick a pint on a 100-brew tap list?
From BeerGraphs:
You are well within both your rights as a consumer and the bounds of propriety in keeping that cellar, friend. There are legitimate reasons to save a beer: to age it in the hopes of developing more nuance over time; to save it for a special occasion or to share with someone in particular; to create a vertical series of several or more years' vintage for a diachronic tasting.
Look at that. The -i flag combined with a file path, is a way to immediately compile and execute a Swift file. It makes Swift look a bit more like shell scripting.
By way of Clark. Love his site redesign and he’s pretty simpatico with my tastes. Good stuff.
Sure, lot’s of people are linking to this AsianEffeciancy.com guide, but it’s well done.1 App makers really should pay to have these kinds of guides made for their apps. There are complex and technically challenging apps that many people just don’t know how to get started with. A nice guide can make all of the difference.
Boy, I sure don’t endorse the use of pop-overs on the website though.
I do adore my Synology NAS, but never forget that it is a computer. Connect it to the Internet and it’s a vulnerable computer.
Sounds like a bummer but it also sounds like there’s an easy way out of the ransomware that involves removing the disks and performing a DSM install.
Computers are fun.
By way of several people. I guess I’m known as a Synology user.
A nice lecture by Keith Smiley. Some crazy stuff in there but there’s some obvious excitement around Swift.
Damn useful site with a variety of Handbrake settings for getting the best video and performance out of Plex and the Roku. It’s nicely designed and logically organized. I also like that they describe the settings but also show a screenshot of Handbrake.
The stock market is not for mortals. This analysis by Nanex (if true) explains how trade orders are intercepted within 1ms. Pretty interesting stuff in the age of cheap and powerful computers.
I love this bit though:
One more note to the SEC in particular - if you believe that the industry can fix these problems on their own, then we believe you are no longer fit to regulate, because that is not, and never was, how Wall Street works.
This is a pretty neat weather forecast action for Launchbar. It uses Forecast.io and has a a few dependencies to get right, but I like how much information it provides. I don’t think I’d really use it because I’ve already checked the weather by the time I get to my Mac. Still, nice work.
Also check out his Mailmate action.

This is a great tip on using a better dictionary. I think I’m in agreement too, the old Webster’s dictionary has more satisfying definitions. It also acts as a translation guide for communicating with the ancients.
