We use InstaCart to keep the fridge and pantry stocked at my small company. It works like a charm, and saves us nearly 2 hours a week. You get "free" deliveries with InstaCart Express for $149/year. The website and iPhone app are easy to use, and interaction with the shopper works almost flawlessly. Honestly, it's a no-brainer for us.


Wow! Almost 2 hours a week! What do you do with the extra time?


Why, post on HNews, of course!


Two things:

- I use Focus, and it's awesome

- I prefer to buy outside of the MAS, and always check to see if the developer sells directly before buying there


+1 for mentioning the "Clean Build Folder" issue. I was stuck on that for about an hour yesterday, then I found this post:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32586144/upgraded-to-swif...

I didn't know about using the Alt key to reveal "Clean Build Folder", and I've been doing iOS dev for years. I'll add this to the list of unhelpful compile errors that are fixed by cleaning the build.


"Clean Build Folder" is basically the "turn it off, then turn it back on" of Xcode. Almost anytime you get a weird compiler error on a project that compiled fine moments ago, it's solved by "Clean Build Folder."

Definitely a good trick to know.


Or for those who prefer automating, add this to ~/.bash_profile:

   alias nuke="rm -rf ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData/"


That's pretty drastic. That nukes the derived data folder of all your Xcode projects. If you work on more than 1, using this to solve a problem in 1 will lead to needing to rebuild all of your projects. That seems a bit extreme for an issue in a single project.


I always advice people to put their DerivedData and build folder somewhere accessible. You can change it settings, don't use the default setting.


Good tip. As someone with quite a small main HDD I'll do this ASAP.


cmd+shift+k followed by cmd+alt+shift+k is a multiple-times-a-day incantation for me :)


What would be really cool is: your browser is the game console, your gamepad is the gamepad.


That should be possible soon. Chrome Canary has experimental support for the Web Bluetooth API.

Or you could always use the Gamepad API - https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Gamepad


Oh man, I loved Hero's Quest back in the day - even more so than King's Quest. Oh the days of picking locks over and over and over again to gain experience.


Locks? How about 'pick nose'?

Congratulations, your nose is now open!


I had an issue where every page request resulted in 'Resolving host...' for about 10-30 seconds before the page would begin loading. Also, songs took forever to start in Spotify. At first I attributed the problem to a hung Time Machine backup. But, turns out it was caused by Boom 2 for Mac:

As soon as I disabled Boom 2 Remote, which was enabled by default, the problem went away. They acknowledged it in an email to customers:

"In fact, every time Amazon adds a new benefit for Prime members that I can't use or don't want, it reminds me that I must be overpaying for Prime if I'm only using the two day shipping."

That might be your loss aversion demon talking into your ear.


First off, great Quora answer. I wonder: if the 'notifications' squad comes up with an idea like 'users should be able to disable notifications', do they have to collaborate with the 'settings' squad?


There are two [1] [2] super interesting videos about how Spotify works. Well worth the watch!
