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 with a button from your unchanged use

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 traffic/visitor numbers: "Important: ou

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 "always listening" t

The main reason I don't do this is because I'm often installing the OS to a brand new (blank) drive that has absolutely no recovery on it.

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 10.10 or 10.11 bootable USB... no go - each

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 be shipped over (unsecure) email. I do work for some higher e

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 requests - I'd rather keep Varnish.

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 going to take a little time to add the Pricing details

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 usually that tactic says "free

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 primarily be "clickbait." I didn't find an

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 tweets. Would love to see more integrations (and I'm

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, and am hoping that it gets an actual release date in the next

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 the MAS and those few apps worked. Then, later that night,

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 is quite nice, and very simple. It is a glorifi

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, just the site. Also tested it with Firefox and Safari an

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

This looks beautifully designed, and I would love to test out how it profiles an existing app or two. Beyond the landing page, are there any types of docs that are accessible for leveraging your software? Hopefully it should be pretty self

I've tried Virtual Machines like this before and found that while they work great they're clunky, take up precious space, and I need to test with many versions. I've tested a few paid solutions (Ghostlab, Browserstack, Cross

> in fact Privacy Badger is based on the ABP code! This makes me sad. They should have based it on uBlock. ABP is very bloated, and really caused issues for my browsing experience. Not sure if I want to try it after reading that.

Yeah, that was my first guess, that the creators aren't in the US, and $50/hr is a good rate for a lot of developers that live in areas with a lower cost of living, etc.

by escobar 11y ago
Yeah, I do a fair amount of small Python gigs in my free time and $50 seems a bit low to me as well. Just talked to a head hunter the other week, and was told their Python devs are commanding much more than $50/hr. Makes me wonder what

I particularly like that he faked the tweet from Life at Google (tried to find it, couldn't), that gave me a good chuckle. I enjoyed the Readme overall, thought that it had a good tone to it. Not too sarcastic but not too serious. Just
