Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite Development Install

THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS USING THE YOSEMITE BETA - DO NOT RELY ON IT!

Install OSX on a fresh drive. I recommend using Disk Utility to repartition the entire drive as 1 partition, as this clears any hidden volumes.

Once the initial install is complete, the OSX Setup Assistant will create your first adminstrator account.

A "Best of the Best Practices" (BOBP) guide to developing in Python.

This can reduce files to ~15% of their size (2.3M to 345K, in one case) with no obvious degradation of quality.

ghostscript -sDEVICE=pdfwrite -dCompatibilityLevel=1.4 -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer -dNOPAUSE -dQUIET -dBATCH -sOutputFile=output.pdf input.pdf

Other options for PDFSETTINGS:

/screen selects low-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Screen Optimized" setting.
/ebook selects medium-resolution output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "eBook" setting.
/printer selects output similar to the Acrobat Distiller "Print Optimized" setting.
/prepress selects output similar to Acrobat Distiller "Prepress Optimized" setting.

	# Despite the W3C guidance suggesting that a list of origins can be passed as part of

	# don't seem to play nicely with this.
