pssdbt··on [dead]
I was wondering the same thing. Good for him, I guess?
pssdbt··on Vim GIFs
This is useful because it shows how to do many things in vim in easily consumable gifs. The letters are shown with dates because that's when the author posted each one. Probably not for everybody, I think it's kind of neat though!
pssdbt··on Show HN: Mega Boilerplate
Clicked and said "Ha, funny satire, boilerplates really ARE getting ridiculous", but from comments this is for real. Sounds good.
pssdbt··on Inbox by Gmail: now in more places
That almost bit me the first time. I think it may have changed a little at least though. I hit 'r' to reply and just tried it on a thread and noticed it only had the sender in the recipients field. Same if you click on the little reply icon to the right. The default if you click in the field does as labeled though, 'Reply to all'.
pssdbt··on Zen room for Vim: Focsuing only on the essential
Reminds me of LiteDFM: https://github.com/bilalq/lite-dfm

I've been using it for a while now, love it.

pssdbt··on Ghost Launches to The Public
The 10.4-10.8 is in reference to OS X, and ~7 years is the amount of time between 10.4 (April 29, 2005) and 10.8 (July 25, 2012).

If you're on OS X, http://fluidapp.com/
pssdbt··on iTunes 11: the convergence of iOS and OS X design
I think that's just a bad screenshot maybe... http://d.pssdbt.com/ruIf
pssdbt··on Show HN: We built a Chrome extension to use J/K to navigate popular sites
When I try to make an entry for 'hackerne.ws' (using same selector as news.ycombinator) it saves but then resets the regex after I visit the site and it doesn't work. Any ideas? Otherwise, I'm a fan - will keep using.
pssdbt··on Introducing Syte, An open sourced personal site that has social integrations
This is pretty cool, good work.

If you're a web developer+designer, it's probably not as useful, but for everyone else it rocks - and I hope to see people use/customize it to their liking. I love how it pulls so many services together. It seems like there's still some desire for some basic template for blogging after Dustin Curtis' last ordeal and now this, although it kind of seems like Twitter's Bootstrap has solved all of those basic problems for a lot of people.

pssdbt··on Balloons.io: an awesome looking realtime chat on node.js
That's because they were using a relative reference, fixed it.
pssdbt··on Balloons.io: an awesome looking realtime chat on node.js
Live demo up here if anyone else was curious: http://www.pssdbt.com:3000

If you want to run it yourself on a public-facing server, you'll need to change the connection to Socket.IO on line 2 of /public/js/script.js to point to your server instead of localhost. I also had to edit /views/themes/default/room_list.jade and put the 'each room,key in rooms' bit inside of an 'if rooms' statement because that was throwing an error.

Also worth noting, nothing is filtered (you can send <script> tags for example and they'll run for everyone).

Authentication it sounds like: "Balloons uses easy-OAuth for authentication with twitter. You can easily change this code to authenticate with Facebook, for example, lets with Facebook."
pssdbt··on Yahoo Axis
Correction: Users love the Yahoo Axis iOS app
pssdbt··on On Why I Am Not Buying RubyMotion
Sounds interesting... I was just looking into F-script (http://www.fscript.org/), is this similar?
pssdbt··on Show HN: We made an addictive way to browse pictures on reddit
Or panoptikos.com even...
pssdbt··on CSSrefresh - Automatically Refresh CSS files
Very cool. I still prefer editing via the Chrome developer tools resources tab.
pssdbt··on Foundation: HTML/CSS boilerplate that responds to changing screen dimensions
Sounds similar to Skeleton (http://getskeleton.com/) but a little more in-depth (I noticed more attention to forms in Foundation, which is nice).
pssdbt··on Vimroom
Also curious about this. Entering fullscreen used to do it correctly, but in the latest MacVim the document spans 100%, even if you have "Prefer native fullscreen support" unchecked.
pssdbt··on Flask 0.7 Released (Python Web Framework)
Check out Pantyshot/Upskirt for Markdown, it's worked out pretty well for me.
pssdbt··on JStat: a JavaScript statistical library
I like that the example page is using the Aristo jQuery UI theme, also on the front page right now.
pssdbt··on Mac App Store UI is so hideous that it makes me want to kick a swan
Serious, looks like the top of a hot dog.
pssdbt··on My First (and last) Groupon Experience
It sounds like Groupon isn't the problem in your case, it's the service making a deal like that with no limit. Groupon's can/do have limited quantities, and the dental place should have probably used that. They cooperated and gave you a refund (I've received a refund as well before, the customer service has been amazing), I don't see how you would point the finger at them before the business on the other end of the deal.

Anyways, that would definitely piss me off a bit as well, crappy deal. I'll keep using Groupon, I can't pass up half off concert tickets and delicious foods :D.

Edit: Oh, this guy says it much better: http://hackerne.ws/item?id=1698788

pssdbt··on HTML5 Boilerplate: a rock-solid default
Thanks for this. It's too bad it has to be so incredibly ugly to make up for various incompatibilities, but I really like the references commented in the code at least.
pssdbt··on OmniFocus v Things – Mac / iPad / iPhone
It's too bad Potion Factory never made the iPhone app they were talking about for The Hit List, I'm a big fan of the desktop app.
pssdbt··on Essential Vim
Or C-c.

Also pretty popular to remap capslock to esc, I tried it but never got used to it.

pssdbt··on Ask HN: Your Dev Environment
I do web dev, and my setup probably isn't nearly as crazy as most of you guys but here we go.

Hardware: 15" MacBook Pro, w/ 19" external LCD and external Apple keyboard if I'm at home.

Software: MacVim, MAMP setup w/ BIND for local dev (using this configuration: http://postpostmodern.com/instructional/a-smarter-mamp/), git for vc, Parallels for IE testing, Firefox w/ Firebug and WebDev extensions for debugging js and editing css, and I prefer iTerm over Terminal.app (sadly just for 256 color support, I'm sad I know).

Web apps: http://www.getcloudapp.com/ for sharing, http://www.freshbooks for time tracking/billing

Supervision: 8-month-old boxer-lab with an attitude.

pssdbt··on Efficient Editing With vim
Love me some vim, but isn't this kind of old? It is awesome though - think I used it back when I was getting started with vim.
pssdbt··on Craigslist Redesign
Wait, people actually use that events calendar on Craigslist? I've only seen people mistake it for personals and use it for advertising crap.

I agree that the New York Times designer's version is a big improvement. A few things that really bug me about the current version that are fixed with this design include the left aligned headers / fixed page flow, more obvious search box, and fixed colors. In my opinion if you're going to use default browser link colors you should be using the default browser background color. Maybe that just bothers me though, who knows, I'm weird. Also, why do we need to see a list of countries / states / anything besides local cities? How is that not just more useless clutter?

pssdbt··on Algorithmatic.com: a repository and dev. env. for algorithms
Usually I just close the window when asked to upgrade Silverlight, this seems like a good enough reason to upgrade (as much as I dislike it). Really though, why is it needed here? Not trying to hate, just curious...
