adam_albrechton How bad is your Spotify?

Another tip: Spotify seems to ignore anything you listen to during a "Private Session".

I listen to a lot of ambient and instrumental music while I work, but I don't want recommendations based on this, so I always start a private session.

adam_albrechton Poolside.fm

I totally understand why certain apps need it, but not a simple music player.

adam_albrechton Poolside.fm

Downloaded it, but it asked for permission to use MacOS' accessibility features, which I thought was weird.

But they mention iOS and mac apps on the site coming soon and have an email signup form.

adam_albrechton The Allure of Small Towns for Big City Freelancers

Yellow Springs is actually a neat little town on its own, with several good restaurants and coffee shops and stores. It has a reputation as sort of a hippie town. And Dave Chappelle lives there. Probably not a lot of nightlife or jobs, though.

adam_albrechton Faithful Elm and the Amazing Router

Richard Feldman (who works with Evan Czaplicki at NoRedInk) mentioned it in the Elm slack channel.

http://i.imgur.com/pqk9oMl.png

It will definitely be a very different compile target. But Elm really doesn't take any inspiration from Javascript, so I don't think it will change much about the fundamentals of the language. Of course they'll need to add capabilities for concurrency, OTP, etc.

adam_albrechton Why I killed my standing desk

This is why I have a sit/stand desk. Often I'll start the day sitting, then once I've achieved a good flow, I'll switch to standing (usually in the early afternoon).

adam_albrechton Show HN: Passbox – Another password manager using Bash and GPG

This looks very nice, but I would need browser extensions and mobile apps to go along with it.

1Password is honestly the one app that has kept me from switching to Linux from OSX. Would love to see a decent open source alternative.

adam_albrechton Show HN: Streaks, a todo list that helps you form good habits

Looks really nice but I've found that apps like this aren't incentivizing enough to be useful in the long term. I use Beeminder, which isn't nearly as nice-looking or user-friendly as Steaks appears to be, but its financial incentives work phenomenally well. If you're serious about keeping (or breaking) a habit, you check them out. And competitors, you should copy some of their features.

adam_albrechton Ask HN: Freelancer? Seeking freelancer? (December 2013)

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote is fine. We're based out of Columbus, Ohio. This would be a fairly short-term project (a few weeks to a month)

We're a small startup building a Rails app and a core piece of it is generating a fairly complex PDF document from an existing template. Ruby doesn't have the greatest PDF tooling, so I could be convinced to use something else for this piece, but sticking with ruby would be ideal.

Would love to find someone with relevant experience generating complex PDF's.

I absolutely love the terminal in OSX and I'd guess that the majority of mac-using developers probably do too.

adam_albrechton Why I use vim

I love Vim and have been a happy MacVim user for a while now. But I just started using Vico and I am really liking it. It's definitely missing a lot of the features that Vim has accrued over time, but the native UI and polish of Vico has me using it full time now.

This looks great. If I hadn't migrated from iTunes to Spotify, I would definitely try it out.
