pedelman··on Show HN: {{Mailstache}}, Templating for email.
I had an idea for a similar product a while back which would be basically the same thing for group messaging on mobile phones.
pedelman··on Ask HN: LinkedIn, are they heading the wrong way?
I feel like each time I get an endorsement from someone who I haven't worked with or can't properly judge my skill, they really are just giving an endorsement so that I will endorse a skill of theirs.
pedelman··on My first website: a curated music playlist delivered to your inbox weekly
Hoping to get some great music tomorrow. It would be nice to also share what types of music to expect.
pedelman··on Ask HN: What are the use cases for NFC outside of payments
I have a galaxy nexus and I love the idea behind NFC. Right now it feels like a gimmick because there really aren't places that take google wallet where I normally shop, and not many friends have NFC enabled devices.

That being said, I am really excited for NFC to grow.

Someone should kickstart a project that is a usb NFC phone sync tool. I think HP just announced a computer with a feature similar (the spectre?).

pedelman··on What is your favorite IDE for development?
Vim. I enjoy the flexibility, macros, and great snippets. I am also able to code new features and tools for myself to use making future coding quicker.
pedelman··on Ask HN: do you support IE6? IE7?
I think it really depends on the industry.

As an example, the last company I worked at, our main customers were home contractors and other DIY type people and IE7 was a large portion of the market share.

My best advice is to build a product and check analytics to see how many customers are actually using older browsers. If it's a small group, its probably not worth the effort to make sure everything is ported over. Sometimes it can also be difficult to test older browsers without spending a bunch of time setting up VM's.

For my own personal projects, I dont even fully support IE7.

pedelman··on Pixel ruler overlay now in Canary dev tools
Thank you for pointing this out! This should be very useful in my quest for pixel perfection.
pedelman··on Modern Vim
Is this going to be in print or just as an ebook?
pedelman··on Typicons - free-to-use vector icons embedded in a webfont kit
For people interested in treating fonts as vectors, check this out: http://keyamoon.com/icomoon/

Also allows you to upload SVG files to create your own fonts. I have had mixed results with the upload, but I plan on using this for most of my upcoming projects.
