willchilcutt··on Gifpop.io – Print gifs with the magic of lenticular printing
It's probably not meant to be for business cards you hand out, but more of a reference of the size.

I hope.

willchilcutt··on Ask HN: Do you use N + Enter to access Hacker News?
I use the letter 'Y' for y-combinator
willchilcutt··on Salesforce hackathon comes under attack from devs
Thanks for giving more feedback. Would you be kind to respond to the other child of your OP pointing out that the winner had been working and actually demoed their app way before the starting period set out in the rules? Thanks!

Are you saying that the dozens of people claiming that no one tested their apps are all lying?

Like others have said previously, Salesforce must have forgotten about analytics.

I don't understand how this site works. A few days ago when it was first posted here, I tried my zip, and it returned

"Plan Results

Found 0 exchange plan."

Today I searched my zip again, this time even messing with the different options of insurance type, and still zero results. Is this saying there are no insurances available for people in my area?

Also I logged out, killed the app, and went back in, but to no avail.

Just logged out and logged back in, but no alert view for receiving notifications. Do I need to create a new account?

How will I know my area is unlocked unless I'm constantly checking the app?

Also, does it take -just two- people to unlock? I'm guessing so because there is no way anyone within a one mile radius also has this app.

willchilcutt··on Ionicons – Free and beautiful icons, MIT licensed
Is it just me or is the .ttf missing some of the icons? When I open the font in Font Book on my mac there are only a small fraction of the icons showing.
willchilcutt··on Apple requires developers’ full contact details to be shown in Korean App Store
Probably because.. the author doesn't know..

This article seems to be pointing out something strange, not trying to explain it.

Also, resizing the "Notes panel" also moves the Adsense panel for some reason?

I remember seeing that app back in 2010. I hope they will do Chinese -> English and vice versa versions!
willchilcutt··on A bachelor’s degree could cost $10,000 total. Here’s how

willchilcutt··on A bachelor’s degree could cost $10,000 total. Here’s how
Most schools have lists of scholarships that are applicable to the school. No need to go to third party websites.
willchilcutt··on A bachelor’s degree could cost $10,000 total. Here’s how
How about go to an in-state school, get a scholarship (many go unclaimed every year), and get an on campus job?

I, along with many people I know, got paid to go to school this way.

Why people are paying tens of thousands of dollars a year/semester is beyond me.

Not to mention their comment section is unreadable due to font size/spacing.
willchilcutt··on MIT student applies predictive modeling to improve emergency-room wait times
I worked in Suzhou for a month and I can tell you they are terrible at things like this. When I was there they had just began working on a subway, but they were doing construction all at once throughout the city. This meant that two lanes were closed on nearly every block just for construction. A ten minute bus ride would take an hour in the horrible traffic.
willchilcutt··on Starbucks’ WiFi goes Google
So you wouldn't be happy unless they provide internet EVERYWHERE at the SAME TIME? Seems like a ridiculous request.
willchilcutt··on Facebook wins right to police “face-” trademark prefix
So did a third of other random people surveyed. You would not be in the majority apparently, and after seeing a logo or web page you would hopefully be able to figure out it is not created by Facebook.
willchilcutt··on YC startup Homejoy embarks on global mission to free people from housework
So it is a competitor of Exec, Taskrabbit, and Lyft, but what does it do differently or better besides just being another cleaning service?
willchilcutt··on Ask HN: What's on your key chain?
Just keys. Anywhere that I need to get a bottle top off there is usually a bottle opener and I never use a flash drive (Cloud ftw).
willchilcutt··on Show HN: Invoice-o-matic – a free online invoice tool
I scanned over the list once or twice, but I did not see in the currency list RMB (Renminbi, Kuai), China's main currency.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Clicking the "Get started with Facebook" quickly opens and then closes a popup. I'm guessing this is the "authenticate with your account" popup, but it closes too quickly to even do anything.

EDIT: Thanks for the support, this issue was quickly fixed.

willchilcutt··on Tell HN: I did it (thank you)
I've been a work from home dad for the past 10 months taking care of my 11 month old. The older she gets the less she naps, and unfortunately I really only get to work when she is asleep. I'm worried within the next year I am going to have to stay up all night just to keep my 30 hr/week schedule up.

I actually did this backwards from the OP where I was doing freelance work but now I have a salaried job. My wife also has a full time job.

I just had to get that out there as lots of the time I feel very alone and think no one else is in my situation.

Thanks for sharing your story. I will check out your website later when my daughter is napping :)
