dawsdesign··on [dead]
Looks like you've got some easy karma, I guess
dawsdesign··on Ever heard of "Low orbit server stations"?
I love the idea and I was actually thinking of doing something similar myself.

Any drones under 400ft and don't leave line of sight of the operator are legal.d

dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Github SSH Key Vulnerability Email Real or Hoax?
It's real, they show each of your keys and ask to approve each one.

dawsdesign··on Show HN: A PHP parser written in PHP
<?php eval($codeBase); ?>
dawsdesign··on Famous Last Words by Bosses I've Had
A bunch of babies. Start your own company then.
dawsdesign··on How (not) to sell your iOS app
I could see that. You need a goal of some sort. Like rescuing eggs from pigs.
dawsdesign··on How (not) to sell your iOS app
C'mon man, this is targeted to FPs people. You need a better reticule than that!
dawsdesign··on Apple Store Down. Verizon iPhone Coming
Actually I'm seeing Apple having communication errors communicating with Verizon so I can't purchase yet....
dawsdesign··on Apple Store Down. Verizon iPhone Coming
That's true, they use the java based web objects framework.
dawsdesign··on Apple Store Down. Verizon iPhone Coming
Store is up. Verizon customers may now upgrade
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Would you pay for this app?
That sounds like what I want, maybe I can use that for myself.
dawsdesign··on Ask PG: do you want HN to be a general news site or not?
Leave it the way it is! If hackers find it interesting it'll get upvoted. For example, I upvoted the bee story the other day. It was a really interesting article and I don't think my wife, for example, would give any shits about it.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: What do you use for Screencasts?
Screenflow is the shizzz
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Why does no one talk about working or interviewing for Apple?
Sounds like personal preference. This site is for natural selection. If people are interested in it then it will get voted up. Voted Up because I've often wondered it myself
dawsdesign··on Keep the Cat Out of the Cradle with Arduino
Ha. Mine's the same. MAybe that'll be my next project.
dawsdesign··on Keep the Cat Out of the Cradle with Arduino
I was wondering about that. I think I'll try it. You just have to change the second number in the playTone(1000, 500); call.
dawsdesign··on Keep the Cat Out of the Cradle with Arduino
Agreed. I at the very least wouldn't want the baby to be awakened by the cat.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Particularly elegant programs to study?
I've heard that Postfix is as close to perfect you can get, but I haven't dived in personally.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: What Python web programming frameworks and tools are you using?
I've used Django for years, but Flask is the bomb.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Payment system Macromates uses?
Ahh, it was Cultured Code that uses it. I was looking for fastspring. Thanks, you pointed me in the right direction
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Most popular server-side high level languages?
PHP is the quickest to get up and going and will probably be the cheapest to host. Unless you go the Google App Engine route. PHP is probably the most promiscuous though.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Most popular server-side high level languages?
Django and PHP (CakePHP, Codeigniter, etc), and obviously RoR.

My current favorite is Python/Flask.

dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Anyone making a living from just 1 app?
I loooove totalfinder
dawsdesign··on Advanced RFID with Arduino and Python
Yeah, I have 4 MSP430's, but they're a little tougher to program
dawsdesign··on Advanced RFID with Arduino and Python
Advanced features, but easy to use.
dawsdesign··on Arduino RFID Security Access
Actually, I'm doing a follow up piece and this library makes it possible. Thanks!
dawsdesign··on Tell HN: Every photo in Facebook is somewhat publicly accessible
The authorization happens at the time you request the photo url, not the photo itself. So the security is on finding out what the url is, not the actual photo request. It'd be the same as someone being able to login if they know your password. That URL is the password.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: Would you work at a startup that requires you to use Linux?
Don't think it's a good idea. OS X works great for all of my development needs, even if the target environment is linux. Also, I tend to believe linux users are especially picky about which distros they prefer.
dawsdesign··on Ask HN: He stole my laptop, and sent me this, what would you do?
That I do too.
