I am in the same boat. We build a niche product that serves a Windows market (an add-on to Windows-only software). We use Macs for a variety of reasons and I'm terrified at the possibility of having to switch. If we don't get perf

Also, does it start with 0 or 1 (or -3023 for that matter)? As a programmer you would assume of course it starts at 0, but since this thread talks about "non-programmer" academic types I think it's worth mentioning. What if I

Your comment is accurate but I think its the fact that GitHub styles it in that way. I do wish it was possible to use markdown-types of elements in this way so that it could fallback on non-GitHub rendered web pages, or still look good in a

My guess is that the notification in question was just letting you know that the person who imported your address is on LinkedIn and wants to connect? It may look like an account notification but I'd think of it as more of an invitatio

Hadn't seen that second link before. Just lost my good boy a month ago. Thanks for the unexpected (happy) office tears

I found the lack of any horizontal line separating rows in the given examples of good tables off-putting. In the examples given from The Economist they are using horizontal lines and I agree those are great examples.

I know what you're saying but I'm okay with it. In this case Apple chose users over developers. iOS developers have to do a little more work (Apple has made it very easy from what I've seen of the framework) and have a little

This is true for Google, Facebook, and Twitter logins as well. It's a valid criticism for using any third party authentication provider (which I personally avoid and will be avoiding Apple's).

If you're worried about that for a particular service you don't have to anonymize your email address – in fact it's opt-in not opt-out. When signing up it will use your real email address for the service or you can check a bo

I thought the point of WASI was to give you an API that allows you to bring your WebAssembly apps out of the browser and run on the OS itself, not to allow deeper integration of the app in a browser to the underlying OS. Edit: words

So insignificant that it's one of the most valuable companies in the world on the back of those two product categories. By the way they are on top where it matters – profit and customer satisfaction.

And they're doing just fine now... I don't get the point?

Cool! Good luck with the launch of your site

Cool site! The hovers for me are a little jolting (all of the cells flash when I mouse over one). Safari 10.1.2 on OS X 10.12.6. Normally I would ignore something like this but since it's a site focused on design/UX I figured y

Personally, I just like to use the latest technology – I live and breath it every day in my job and I like to keep up on trends. I don't go out and spend a ton of money at clubs, bars, and fancy restaurants, I go to the movies maybe o

Really like the analysis. Thanks for posting. Regarding usability of your own site, I'd suggest not eating up the history of the user's web browser for every "next slide click" [0]. I was really annoyed trying to get bac

Going to miss this guy – hell of an artist and I feel like he had a ton more music to give us at only 66. RIP.

The article said you'll be able to use the new method (hold sleep/wake and volume button for 5 seconds to require a passcode to unlock – i.e. disabling face/touch id).

Slight correction – it's 5 presses of the lock/sleep button not 5 presses of the home button.

Weird shift to Trump at the end of that article. I don't get it.

I make no argument with your position (in fact fully agree you should vote with your wallet in this case) but I think it should be pointed out you most certainly gave consent to allow them to use your network when you agreed to their terms

I don't think you could consider this obstruction. It's their service, it's private, they can serve data to users the way they wish. There is a method and a system in place if law enforcement can prove they need unfettered

Yes, it is fine. Uber is a private company and its data is private. It's an interesting thought experiment but I just can't get behind the idea that a private company has a moral or ethical responsibility to ensure that data they

What an interesting thought. I wonder what the actual user base of a library would have to be before it would even itself out and then go over the threshold of where you would see a return. Certainly 74 million sites should do it if they

I agree with your premise on Linux but I'll never understand the Mac = creative thing. I've seen many people mention the creative aspects as a reason to use a Mac, but it's outdated thinking IMO – most creative professionals

In the third slide, "Apps have an audience 2.5x as big as mobile websites". I'd love to see data behind how the author came to that conclusion. Isn't anyone who is able to download an app from an app store in the same a

I'm not sure how to respond but I feel compelled to do so. I've never seen your assertions in practice anywhere I've worked in the past 15 years. Sure, at some places people who rise to the top only care about the outcome o
