Super useful collection of instructions for getting your web servers working smoothly after upgrading to Mountain Lion 🙂

Good find. One of the YouTube commenters says Tom Waits and Heath Ledger did a movie together, so it’s likely this guy is the inspiration.

It’s not always that easy. I don’t think it makes sense to distinguish between men and women with a hard line. No matter what line you draw some people will be on the ‘wrong’ side. Can’t we design games that give women an advantage over men, to ensure a mixed Olympics isn’t dominated by men? Or have other international competitions that women are better adapted to compete in?

I’d argue the same for Paralympics; can’t we add games to the Olympics, that disabled people are well equipped, or advantaged, to compete against non-disabled people? (e.g. a wheelchair race)

Up until Mountain Lion, documents in iCloud were organized completely flatly; no folders, just one list of files.

Now, you can add one level of folders, like the way you organize apps on an iPhone. The linked to article asserts that very few people can really cope with large hierarchies of folders, and the paradigm of folders-in-folders is complex.

I agree that, although folders-in-folders was a good solution, it’s a good idea to look for something simpler. However, restricting folders to one level doesn’t solve the fact that folders-in-folders offers more power than no nested folders, so I’m disappointed Apple haven’t been more ambitious.

With the power of modern computers to index and search, labelling documents would offer a brilliant way to organise them. Most people would continue to have a simple, flat list. If you want to group up documents by project, progress, context, audience etc. start applying labels. Documents can have multiple labels, and you can have smart folders, e.g. to list ‘archived newsletters for my photography group’.

Simple; no nesting; but crucially, no loss of power.
