The people who write the software running on our Xeons write it on their Macbooks. For example, some of the Julia language devs write on MBs.

Do most devs use Windows? I guess that's kind of a silly question since most everyone works with Windows. I guess a better question is whether OS X is over represented among software developers. Is it like, a quarter of devs using a Mac or what?

In a place like Silicon Valley, probably close to 90% of devs use Macs. In a government context, that'll be far far less - possibly single digit percentages.

Also most developers (at least at my work) that need to SSH into stuff or regularly interact with stuff via a command line work tend to gravitate towards Macs because PuTTY's only okay and there's not much in the way of actual vendor support if you're rolling your own Linux-based desktop.

That's the reason I always give people when the talk comes to why I'm willing to pay 1000 dollars for an Air when I could be paying half that for a MUCH FASTER computer!! Most of my time in front of the computer is spent sshing into our servers or typing into markdown documents on the train/plane/toilet/... And I don't see a better machine for doing this on than Macbooks. At least since homebrew and Anaconda (which you can use to get R and Python), setting up the scientific stack on a Mac has become a breeze.

A point often lost on the Windows neckbeard types: a Mac is the only machine that represents the superset of all platforms. You can run everything on it from all desktop platforms, very easily.

Therefore when I'm using SSH for work from home, I use my PC with Moba on it instead. I couldn't find a SSH client that kept saved sessions with macro keys.

OK so this is hosed. My Asus EEE machine from 8 years ago can transfer a 100MB folder of MP3s from my NAS to its local storage in under a minute. the same process via my 2011 iMac on the same connection, 2.4 or 5ghz takes about 5 minutes. transferring the same folder back to the NAS takes 2 min on the EEE and doesnt even initialise on the iMac - it just sits there preparing forever and then eventually times out with a -36 error. is OSX just absolutely garbage at wireless file transfer? You'd want to hope that they had this under control before deleting all the loving ports on the new macbook.

My Mac is beach balling all over the place and I don't know what to do or how to fix it. I restarted a couple times and it's still running unusually slow, hanging up constantly and everything is taking forever to start up. I'm on a Samsung SSD with 210GB free. This is the June 2012 13" non-retina Macbook Pro.

Are there any safari plugins that allow you to set youtube videos to autoplay at the highest res and fit the player width to the window size? Don't need any more than that but the ones I've tried are kind of ropey.

It also gives you a nice menu of options to download the video, open in QuickTime (what you want, but even better), or just restore to flash.

Recovery mode didn't help, and i'm doing Apple Hardware Test right now. Booted into safe mode earlier, and that didn't help either, the beach ball problem was only slightly less bad in that mode, but my computer was still unusable. [edit] Hardware Test didn't find any issues.

Ironically I had to actually install flash before this plugin actually worked, which was kind of a bummer. Was getting on fine without it as well; the only major things that didn't work with pure HTML5 were Facebook videos, none of which are at all worthwhile. Doesn't Safari come with the ability to block plugins on a site-by-site basis anyway? Also not a huge fan of the interface for the default safari HTML5 player. Given all that I think I'll just stick to the default player since a good option for safari doesn't seem to exist. I'll stick to chrome when I don't want their lovely site telling me what quality I want. Thanks for the help anyway though

Okay, i'm still having issues and really need help. I'm clueless. I want to bring my Macbook Pro back to its factory default settings, that means going back to OS X Mountain Lion, and then upgrade again back to Yosemite. Apple has a very easy process for doing this through Internet Recovery. The problem is that the Mountain Lion download is painfully slow. I'm looking at 18 hours and 47 minutes right now. Are there any other options available for downloading Mountain Lion and putting it on a USB stick?

The only way is through a recovery install or spending $20 in the online Apple Store to have them send you a DVD. The only other way would be if there was a way to check the Internet for ISOs of dubious provenance. But that's obviously a technology beyond our ken.

It's usually fixed with: DigitalRaven posted:I typo'd the number, -36 is the general "something to do with your disk is hosed." I appreciate all this advice, and I will try it when I get home, but I can transfer files without issue over ethernet, just not over wifi. Its not a network issue because windows machines can do back and forth fine over wifi. If I attempt to use Airvideo while my Mac is on wifi, it stops every few seconds to buffer for a minute or so. this doesnt happen on LAN. This is using a dual band router, with my ipad on one frequency and my iMac on the other. I mean, even the LAN connection is reduced to 11mbps because its using ethernet over power and it still out paces wifi.

Is there a solution like Perian, but for Ogg Vorbis audio? I already have some fork of Perian installed, and that gets me working VP8 video in Safari, but no audio. The official QuickTime components for Ogg Vorbis on xiph.org haven't been updated since dinosaurs roamed the earth.
