All I can say to you is that it takes a bit of patience to get good in TTS. I was very clumsy in the beginning. The community made games vary a lot in quality. You should look for mods that have a bit of scripting to help with setup and game admin, sometimes the scripts are broken, though. We do a voice call with all players during the game.

Very cool. Why all those semi-colons in your code?

As far as I know, it was implemented by Raymond Hettinger. This is a very interesting talk about the new tech:

I had the same thought. I really like Numbers, I stoped using Evernote because it was bloated (I am using the simpler stock mac notes). I use Calendar, Reminders, Preview and Safari. Quick look is not an app, but is a great mac feature that you don't find elsewhere.

I think that the stock apple software is really good. It is simple without lacking usability. It is something that you can really use and, if you need something better or more customizable, you can get third party apps.

I feel like bloatware is something that is very bad and not usable.

C# has just implemented nested functions.

I also like their Release Radar playlist, you get new releases from the artists you follow.

I don't think they shot Seinfeld in 35mm to be future proof. It was the best way to film at the time.

We raise children without teaching them to be alert and independent than we ask our selves why there are so many with ADD

This is a great collection! There are a lot of replies adding other examples. I am gonna add Controller Mate, which I use daily.

Just adding to the other responses, one thing I miss whenever I am not on mac is quicklook/preview. Finder can preview most files you browse instantly. be it music, images (including photoshop and raw camera files) video, text, pdf, spreadsheets, docs, etc. Preview is a really amazing and simple app.

I work with post production for tv/movies. Current digital sensors are much better than film in clarity, noise, dynamic range, etc. Film is still, arguably, superior in look.

I like doing everything but committing through the command line. I like committing with a GUI tool because i think it's easier to double check what you are committing before doing so.

I really like Git Extensions commit screen, the best from the git GUIs I've used. It has great shortcuts to stage/unstage/reset and you can even separate lines to be commited.

The advantage of c2w is that it combines everything in a repeatable (using .) operation.

Quicktime still is the standard in professional video. Everybody uses QuickTime and Apple prores codecs.
