The recordings of it aren't.

You should try again. I use all the trackpad gestures. They're a huge boon to productivity. I can't even remember the last time I had a misfire.

I'm not disputing that this happened to this guy, but deleting local files is not the standard behavior. I am also an indie musician with dozens to hundreds of my own compositions in my iTunes library. I signed up for Apple Music and none of my local files were touched at all. Sounds like he got hit by an unfortunate bug. Sucks that it happened, for sure. Hopefully anyone who signs up for a streaming service in the future will think to make a backup first, but it stinks that you have to do that.

You can trigger Siri then hold the phone to your ear like you're making a normal phone call. She replies through the earpiece instead of the main speaker.

There is a workaround for this. Type until you get Alice COOPER then back up and delete the first cap O, replace with little o, and keep going. It's dumb but it works.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. Have you tried doing any troubleshooting? (I know, it's not your job, it should just work, but it would be interesting to know if there is a reproducible case. If you had one, you can report it to Apple. They do look at bug reports from users.) Also, you might want to try using "Manually manage music and videos". (Connect your device, select its icon from the row of icons at the top left, then look under Settings, Summary, Options. It's at the bottom.) Once you check that box, iTunes doesn't try to sync the host's library any more. You just drag whatever you want from iTunes to the device and it gets copied straight over. (Theoretically - would be interesting to know if that fixes things for you.)

If names are that important, perhaps you'd care to spell Louis C.K.'s properly.

I traded in an iPad 1 with Gazelle a few years ago and they paid me exactly what they said they would.

$fp = @fopen('/path/to/file', 'r'); if ($fp) { ... it worked } else { ... it didn't. }

You need a better IDE. I use Netbeans and Sublime Text (mostly ST these days) and as soon as I start typing the function name, both editors give me a completion popup with placeholders for the parameters.

I've been using Reeder on my Mac + iPad, and it's pretty good. Feedly is also pretty good. Not sure which I'll end up with long-term, guess we'll see how I feel once Reader is finally dead and buried.

I'll give you one: metadata. WAV doesn't really support it in a standard way across applications. AIFF is a little better but it doesn't have a lot of traction on Windows. FLAC has a robust tagging scheme. Since converting to lossless is incredibly fast, and you typically save about 30% of the disk space, why not do it?

This is why you are not a product manager at Adobe.

I have no idea how this is even possible, but BT Sync kills my home Mac's network connection. It's so weird. I can ping out from my mac fine, but pinging TO the mac results in 90% packet loss. Needless to say, this makes the network quite useless. Quit the app, no more packet loss. Took me quite a while to track that down!
