    So, if traffic numbers are EXACTLY the same (as noted) but less people click on a single button, you've "lost those users"? Doesn't make any sense to me. You've lost interaction wi…

    The title of this post is clickbait. It should be titled something closer to "How we lost user interaction after our redesign". They specifically mention that they did not lose any…

    To remove the icon from your cmd+tab: open the preferences/settings for the application and under "Application Options" use the multi-select field from "Both" to "Only Menu Bar", t…

    Yes, agreed - this is perfectly fine with me. If I wanted the "always listening" feature I'd grab an "official" Alexa device :)

    I have had reservations about the Echo line because of the whole "always listening" thing, regardless of what anyone's said about how it's not recording, how I can unplug it, etc. …

    The whole "old installer" and "bootable disk" has been a pain-point since 10.8 for me. I have done 4 or 5 clean installs for friends in the last 6 months, and I tried to make a 10.…

    So this looks like HR or someone from inside snapchat got a phishing email and happily obliged and sent off a bunch of sensitive information without confirming that it should all b…

    I'd love to see some performance benchmarks for Nginx's caching vs Varnish (memory, reqs). Even if Nginx can do the same thing, if I need more RAM to do it, or it handles less requ…

    Yeah, the copy kind of indicated to me that there was some pricing scheme coming, but there is no indication (or info) about that on your site. Just something to remember if you're…

    First impression: after looking over the homepage, the 9 "Get Started - It's FREE" buttons made me hunt in the footer for "Pricing" or more information before signing up, because u…

    I clicked this mainly because I had skimmed the other piece from Sandberg saying that FB didn't need the MBA to be seriously considered. This article (title included) appears to pr…

    Agreed. Initially, I canceled the OAuth request because I thought I had missed other options, but really Twitter is the only option. I don't love that it wants to read all of my tw…

    There is an unfinished Browser plugin (Chrome) for Signal that has seen quite a bit of activity recently. I am excited at the prospect of being able to use Signal from a desktop, a…

    This happened to me a number of times over the last few days. The first time it happened I shrugged and rebooted the computer. When it came back up, it asked me to authentcate with…

    I'm running 10.9.5 and was planning on rebooting my machine, replicating once more, and filing an issue tonight :)

    I always find database & "data helper" tools fun to experiment with. After playing with this with a MySQL database for 10 minutes on my Mac I have 2 initial reactions: 1. The GUI i…

    Came here to say the same thing about load time - I'm on a fast connection using Chrome and this thing will hardly load for me. I thought it was my ad blocker at first, but nope, j…

    Thanks - wow - there's a link "documentation" right at the top of the page that I completely missed... long morning.
