blackmac··on I built an email client for AI agents
I just wanted to give my agent an email account and have it send and receive Mails from my domain.

There are several paid services, but access to IMAP and SMTP on my own server felt a little cumbersome. So I created a simple CLI (not TUI!) email tool called 'inb'. check it out! It's MIT licensed and available on github.

Happy to discuss if this is useful to you and if it is, what you'd like me to add to the project.

What additional information could I add, that would make it interesting for you?

Sounds fake to me, this is not possible with the iPhone through default software and even with a jailbreak there is no way you could ever cram the video through the headphone jack, you would have to play it back through a very specialized app, that would need to compress it down to an unrecognizable mess and you still would have to figure out a way to push it to the screens. Not possible IMHO.

Implementing good scrolling with textareas not reacting to touch events is kind of hard. I will implement import of external files though, maybe not complete repos in the first step though

I am definitely going to do that, plus I will add a way to save scripts to the local SQLite DB.

CTRL-SHIFT-EJECT should do the trick on your iMac :)
blackmac··on Ask HN: What's a good programming language to start with?
I would suggest to learn C. It might sound a little bit strange, but when you consider it, it's probably one of the best things you could do. Most of the modern languages you will need are somewhat based on C. That is especially true for compiled languages, but most script languages take their fair share of C too.

You will learn about pointers, which is important in ANY language, binary trees and stacks are good to know about too.

blackmac··on Ask HN: Can iPhone applications be used on iPod touch?
I assure you, that the iPhone DOES in fact have a camera!
blackmac··on Collaborative web development
It's simple. Use version control (I use git) and a VPN, where your friend can connect to your local webserver running your working copy to see your current state, but the live server stays clean and can be updated from git later.

I know someone who told me not to copy mp3s more than once, because quality gets worse with every copy. Moreover if you store mp3s too long the quality also decreases. This is known as a serious problem among audiophiles, because it prevents digital files from being archived for a longer time. (he REALLY meant it)
blackmac··on A Web OS? Are You Dense?
I think recently desktop apps started to look much more like web apps. I believe that's the right direction, as web apps are "usually" more focused on the one thing they do best and appear less cluttered. Under the hood you might be right though - see Gears, which enables web apps to do a lot of those desktop things.
blackmac··on Favorite IDE for PHP?
I LOVE TextMate, although jEdit can be configured to be a nice editor too...
