Viewing profile — novum

This is chock full of platitudes and obfuscation. Pinboard appears to have participated in good faith, as you admitted yourself. It seems rather like HN/YC had never intended to al…

Parent is most likely referring to the telnet GOAHEAD character and its related SUPPRESS GOAHEAD protocol: https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc858 I am the author of a MUD client for iO…

A Facebook spokesman says the company “doesn’t have shadow accounts or profiles – hidden or otherwise – for people who haven’t signed up for our service,” and a 2011 audit by Irela…

Sure it could be a cron job, but using Jenkins adds some conveniences: a nice UI to browse projects, plus it archives the output of every historical build, locally-archived build a…

CI means knowing that your product is always in a releasable state. Green tests is only one small piece of that. I have an iOS app or two that I work on independently, as side proj…

I have mixed feelings here. On the one hand, the announcement is correct that "email is here to stay" and it's exciting to see innovation on top of an ancient protocol that was nev…

Data Scientist (noun): A statistician who lives in San Francisco. (only half joking)

I think I can also attribute my initial interest in programming to MUDs. Funny how, all these years later, they still give me satisfaction albeit through a much different tech stac…

My personal side project, a MUD client for iPhone and iPad, is not even remotely profitable. That's right: online multiplayer text-based games. There are still thousands of them on…

Hard to say. Sounds like you have until 2/26, at which point something(?) happens: http://help.testflightapp.com/customer/portal/articles/14527...

They already have gone away for Android. On iOS, it looks like they won't allow new apps to be created but existing apps may continue to upload new builds.

This looks really neat. Thanks! I wish I could self-host this on my own server. I also wish it did not rely on Github as I also self-host my own repos.

Thanks. I signed up for an account, but everything I'm seeing is about A/B testing, in which I am not interested. Mega points to you for having a Jenkins plugin. Awesome! Is your f…

Sounds neat! But I must be missing this free service on your pricing page? It seems to start at $150/month: https://www.vessel.io/pricing/

Bummer...but also exciting, since Adhoc/Beta distributions and access could be massively improved by being handled first-party by Apple. Maybe now it will be! I've long been using …

Almost certainly a shared keychain.

Travis CI (for now) is stuck on iOS 6, so you're out of luck if you're targeting 7. They expect to resolve this soon. You must also subscribe to a paid plan if you want Travis to b…

Not to be that guy, but since no one else has mentioned it: a file in Dropbox is a file shared with the NSA. I was a happy paying Dropbox customer since 2008 but downgraded my acco…

TB3 uses the system font size that you specify in Settings -> General -> Text Size. I do agree that the default is too large, and furthermore that some (most?) apps would benefit f…

Definitely seems sketchy to me. Particularly this line on the application form: Have you ever successfully released an app on the Apple Market? * The application form itself is an …

As an aside, I was watching BBT just yesterday (on a long plane ride with limited entertainment options) and I was reminded how uncomfortably awkward it makes me feel. In short, th…

Dungeons and world-of-webcraft developers. I slew my own personal WoW demon in '08 and this site, using the same skill tooltip-style as WoW, brings back memories :/
