hazelcough··on Shirt.codes: Get a T-shirt of your favorite code snippet
Yep, this is now implemented! Thanks for the input.
hazelcough··on Shirt.codes: Get a T-shirt of your favorite code snippet
Yep, here's me wearing a shirt: http://cl.ly/image/220r1g463W00

re: shirts.io, yeah I'm using their successor, scalablepress.com. The API is much better now.

1) There's no branding on the shirt at all. The shirt is shipped from Scalable Press, so I'm not sure what the packaging will say, but I imagine they have something in place for white-labelling.

2) "Passive income" side project, though with all the HN hate it's turning into a bit more scrambling than I'd imagined :).

3) I do ask them questions since I'm a pretty early user of the API, but it's pretty well-documented at this point so I don't imagine you'd run into much trouble developing on it.

There is XL if you select "Unisex." The default sizes are women's sizes.

(Just fixed it so that it shows Unisex sizes by default.)

Yep--thanks for the tip. I've added a bunch of warnings all around, and reached out to folks who ordered with a clarification :).

Code that looks cool as blocks :P.
hazelcough··on Shirt.codes: Get a T-shirt of your favorite code snippet
Yep! I used scalablepress.com to print my shirts. It's extremely to print a single custom shirt from them--I was surprised, too :).

Sorry :(.

You can type in any code you want...it'll autodetect the language.

Thanks for the tip! The unisex shirt is American Apparel, and the women's is Bella Ladies' Favorite, or American Apparel depending on the color.

After you click "Continue with this design," you'll see a proof on the left.

You're getting the code as blocks--the hover text is just to show you how the code is being highlighted.

hazelcough··on Improved email receipts
Hi! (I work at Stripe.)

While our webhooks are perfect for building things like receipts, we want to make the seller experience for the most common use case as nice as possible.

We do encourage folks to use our webhooks to build receipts for more complex use cases (e.g. if you want to include maps, images, or just in general need a more complex receipt structure for your particular business), but the simplest case is one we can and should provide well for :).

hazelcough··on Send money to debit cards
There isn't! Though as with any type of money-moving, you'll need to consider tax implications :(.
hazelcough··on Lever – Introducing Gmail Sync
Congrats on launching this!

Out of curiosity, where do other popular ATSes fall in terms of email integration? (Jobvite I think is the popular incumbent?)

hazelcough··on Stripe: Marketplaces
Hi! I work on product at Stripe. We're currently working on better API for managing recipients.

However, I can't seem to reproduce the issue you're seeing--could you provide a bit more context? If you change a recipient's bank account, their past transfers will still appear on their page in your Stripe dashboard and when listing transfers via the API and filtering by recipient ID.

Edit: Feel free to PM me as well :). I'm michelle@stripe.com.

hazelcough··on Payments Startup Stripe (YC S10) Joins the Billion Dollar Club
Oh no — I'm very sorry to hear that. We try to avoid giving ETAs for functionality in order to avoid having people get stuck like this. (At the same time, we sometimes do indicate when we plan to do something — which does have this failure mode.) But we should probably have been clearer that it wasn't going to happen imminently — want to drop me a line at michelle@stripe.com and I'll see if there's any way we can help?
hazelcough··on How to learn a language from your news feed (and win a Facebook hackathon)
Someone should use this concept to make a browser extension that transforms words in your entire newsfeed into flashcards while you browse.

So many people like this quote that I wish I had structured the sentence less awkwardly.
hazelcough··on WebRTC DataChannels just hit Chrome stable
Yep, that's it.
hazelcough··on WebRTC DataChannels just hit Chrome stable
Make haste! People on Canary had a head start :P.

Also note that currently DataChannels do not support reliable transfer and have a small MTU, so sending enormous files does not yet work. With PeerJS you can send smaller files, but larger ones will take an unreasonable amount of time.

hazelcough··on 21 Nested Callbacks
Haha, I'm a programmer who will write 21 nested callbacks no more :). That's enough for me to claim for now.
hazelcough··on 21 Nested Callbacks
See, getting value out of Google is something that's learned over time. At the very beginning it was hard to get very far at all with just Googling and when I asked others they pointed me back to Google--some of them unhelpfully, but others showed me how to use better search terms for the subject at hand.

That helped a lot, and I don't resent them for that type of help at all. I'm sorry if it came across that way in the writing.

hazelcough··on 21 Nested Callbacks
Yeah I can definitely see how jargon prevents that level of conversation. There's definitely a false analogy in my original statement--there's plenty of jargon in farming and raising pigs as well, but I personally do know a decent amount on the topic so I'm not really a layman in the conversation that I had imagined in my head.
hazelcough··on 21 Nested Callbacks
It's in the post :).

hazelcough··on 21 Nested Callbacks
That's amazing! We should've been friends.

Blog post writer here. I was going to mention this in the post, but I ended up deciding against it:

I'm from Middle America. In Middle America, when you ask a farmer what he feeds his pigs, he tells you what he feeds his pigs, what he doesn't feed his pigs, why he feeds his pigs what he feeds his pigs, how he feeds his pigs, and what sunscreen he applies to their skin.

So it was very weird to me that a lot of programmers didn't like to share their knowledge of programming (except, it seems, when they are trying to impress other programmers).

hazelcough··on SimpleWebRTC.js
Check out peerjs.com. Provides a cloud server and has an open source signaling server.

Edit: this is a data solution for now though.

Sorry guys, my free ec2 micro has too little RAM to deal with the load :(. For those who already signed up, it'll be up again tonight.
