The demo signup form has a required field "Token" that's blocking me from signing up
flyingyeti··on Tmux Resurrect – Persists tmux environment across system restarts
I read that, but as a rather heavy user of tmuxinator, I wouldn't really want to have all my projects running in the background at all times. I like that with tmuxinator, I can just start up the project(s) I'm currently working on, and leave the rest idle.

I am going to try out tmux-resurrect, but it's value to me would be mostly for ad-hoc tmux sessions; I think I'll still set up dedicated tmuxinator configs for each of my longer term projects.

flyingyeti··on GitLab Annex: Large Binaries with Git
What is the difference between GitLab Annex and git-annex?

https://git-annex.branchable.com/

Edit: Just found the relevant quote from the article

> In GitLab 7.8 Enterprise Edition this problem is solved by integrating the awesome git-annex.

I guess the repeated branding of "GitLab Annex" just seems a bit strange to me.

flyingyeti··on Mailbox, from Dropbox (plus 1 GB of space to your Dropbox)
The new Outlook iOS app is pretty slick, and works just fine with regular IMAP accounts.

flyingyeti··on PaintCode 2
Agree 100%. I had the same thought process and assumed it was a tool for websites until I noticed the Objective-C syntax in the code screenshots.
flyingyeti··on Hire this guy for love
Definitely an effective way to get your name out there.

I'm curious how the "you pick the rate" method is working out for you? The calendar on your site [1] still shows early December - does that mean you're no longer accepting clients this way?

I'd also love to know more about "Free Dev Time" (5 hrs/night). That seems like an interesting way to explore some new projects and technology without the hassle of estimates and contracts. And because you want to convert these people into paying clients, you've got some motivation to actually finish the projects you start for them, as opposed to personal projects that seem to fall by the wayside (for me, at least).

Great work, I'm inspired! And good luck with that plane flight. Looks like you'll have plenty of new work opportunities.

flyingyeti··on ObjClean
You're entitled to your opinion, but code style checking is not something new and was most likely not cooked up by Apple coders. Checkstyle [1] is a Java code style tool and has been around since at least 2001.

flyingyeti··on Mailgun: new pricing without plans and limits
While reading the new pricing structure, I realized that the Mailboxes feature [1] (allowing programmatic creation of mailboxes via the API) is deprecated. That's too bad; it was the reason I started using Mailgun in the first place. Is anyone aware of an alternate service that offers this feature, short of managing my own mail server?

flyingyeti··on Should I use a carousel?
It's an interesting take, but is still extremely frustrating to interact with. I would like to navigate through the images at my own pace and click forward/back exploring content, which the carousel prevents me from doing. It's also not obvious to me where I can find the same content in a different format- it looks like mostly they're taken from the portfolio section but I didn't know that until I drilled around the site for a while. I'd at least include a "view all" link below the carousel.

If you scroll down a few more pixels, you'll see links to the API documentation (https://www.shirts.io/docs/overview) and their capabilities (https://www.shirts.io/capabilities/)
flyingyeti··on Show HN: My side project CreateMyInvoice.com creates PDF invoices from email
If typos and other accidental errors end up being a problem, you could use a different email for proofing or demos. The proofing email wouldn't count against the 5 invoices, and would include a prominent watermark or something. Just a thought.
flyingyeti··on Best app/software for Bookmark organizing?
Although if OP is specifically looking for something "better" than delicious, I'm not sure Pinboard would be a good fit. I use and love Pinboard, but as far as I'm aware it shares pretty close to 1:1 feature parity with the old del.icio.us service.

I'm curious whether subtlepatterns.com minds people hotlinking their images from custom CSS files?

flyingyeti··on How does SOPA threaten Stack Overflow?
I'm used to seeing a close button on these types of messages on Stack Overflow. Kind of a nuisance to have it stuck there even after I've signed the petition. Maybe if it were a different color, or I hadn't been trained to read all of the yellow status messages on each SO page, it would be less annoying..
flyingyeti··on Show HN : My (current) Weekend Project - I am, I do
Really cool idea. It's a lot of fun just randomly browsing around and reading peoples' stories.

Tiny annoyance: the line-height: 36px (application.css:23) makes wrapped section headings look strange. One simple fix is to replace that with margin-top: 18px; margin-bottom: 18px;.

flyingyeti··on Turntable.fm Hits 140,000 Users in Its First Month
Untagged files are not processed properly by the uploader. You'll get a "General Upload Error". This also seems to happen when there are multibyte characters in the ID3 tags.
flyingyeti··on Regulators probe Apple 30% subscription plan
Is it against the rules to offer a different service to iOS devices than you do to Android, Web and/or PC users? For example, maybe Netflix could make "Netflix Premium" available on iOS devices, and charge $12/mo instead of $9/mo, covering Apple's 30% cut.

I'm sure this has been considered, but I'm not seeing where exactly.
