Can you elaborate a little bit more on the process?

Shit, that's a lot cheaper, faster and easier. I just spent 3+ hours trying to get Twilio to do the same thing. Thanks a lot!

mikeroheron Quick tip for developers who use OS X

I use Vim and was unaware that this shortcut existed. Are there any other Emacs shortcuts which are useful in OSX?

Two more tips:

mikeroheron Ask HN: What kind of side projects are you working on?

I'm making an online store in Rails for a specific target market (have to be vague). I'm building it mostly on my own and I'm looking for a second developer to help me out.

mikeroheron Twitter Bootstrap or Zurb Foundation for RailsApps?

PureCSS really needs to improve its markup. I tried using it but soon found my CSS littered with 'pure-' everywhere. And the grid is really "unsemantic" (?). It might just be my personal opinion, but I really disliked it.

Level 7 is broken. First six levels consist of searching the JS for a password. Pass.

mikeroheron Shortcat - Keyboard productivity app for Mac OS X

Any way this can be "downgraded" for Snow Leopard? I hate the iOSification Lion and Mountain Lion have gone through. I like my vintage Expose with the Dashboard disabled.

mikeroheron [dead]

You're right...I completely forgot about that. However, the "explicit" way it's written above is easier to understand in my opinion.

This poll isn't set up properly. For the sake of the example, if someone makes 60k, which one should they choose? The 50-60k option or the 60-70k option. To fix this, the poll should be organized like so:

Less than 50k

50k - 59k

60k - 69k

70k - 79k

80k - 89k

90k - 99k

100k - 199k

200k+

mikeroheron How to be more productive

What's the difference between Descartes' mediations and Aaron's writings? Ignoring the obvious, technology simply made them easier to read. They're avail. on his public website whereas Descartes' mediations are more commonly found in textbooks and reproductions of his originals.

Descartes probably isn't the best example because with one quick Google search, I found this: http://oregonstate.edu/instruct/phl302/texts/descartes/medit... Still, the principle remains true.

Since only I can see it, at the moment, the comment has 7 points.

mikeroheron A Powerline-style prompt for Bash

Yeah that was the problem. I realized that Snow Leopard's default terminal doesn't have support for ANSI colors..I think. Anyways, if you're on Snow Leopard or earlier versions of Mac OSX, you need to use iTerm2. Also, to make the PS1 smaller, you can delete the two lines in the last method (the constructor I think) that prints the hostname and user. So, delete or comment:

   p.append(' \u ', 250, 240)
   p.append(' \h ', 250, 238)

Anybody else having problems getting it to work? It's just flashing for me. I've installed a patched version of Inconsolata but still no luck.
