Yep. CCBill is one the bigger/better known in that space. I’m guessing Gumroad just doesn’t think it’s worth it.

Author here. This was a fun one to work on. Kept finding out about new things I wish I could have squeezed in there.

OP here. There are a few projects that I wasn't able to work into the story that I think are worth a mention (though some of them are in that Awesome Terminals round-up linked in the article). The Cobra library is a huge one: https:&#

I was going to reply with something along the same lines. Dropping the keyest keywords is a particularly big pet peeve of mine. For those "needle in a haystack" type queries, instead of pages that include both $keyword1 and $keywo

That objection, and others, are addressed in the project FAQ[1]. It's already possible to open and edit a PDF in various applications. [1] https://editablepdf.org/faq/ >But isn’t the whole point of PDF that you

I wasn't comparing Solarized's blue text to the color of television, I was comparing its gray background to television. In my experience, static is white and black (mostly white), not gray, which is why I thought of a blank televi

Hm, maybe but that's not what I had in mind. I was thinking of the way an old Magnavox looks when it's not displaying anything, like when you've just switched it off but it's still glowing slightly. My recollection, whic

Author of the article here. I never interpreted that opening line as referring to static, but to gray of a blank television screen. Otherwise why not write "the color of television static?"

And Jackson is really expensive. Not quite Bay Area expensive yet, but Seattle area expensive. There are some parts of the state that are cheaper, beautiful, and less wind blown, like the Big Horn mountain area where I grew up. But they&#x2

It's pretty easy to miss IMHO. The project could probably benefit from having this spelled out on the homepage.

I've never heard the "hot lead' explanation or heard the word pronounced as "led." If I had to guess, I would guess that deliberate misspellings arose for the reason I find them useful: they get flagged by spellchec

I hope someone posts it soon. This sounds like a dream come true, but I'm a bit weary of punching my SFTP credentials into an app by an unknown company without any idea of what it's actually doing behind the scenes.

FWIW, Buzzfeed chair Ken Lerer says the company isn't slashing its revenue targets this year and that it did hit its Q1 target[1]. No one seems to be denying that they missed their targets last year, though. http://recode.ne

(Disclosure: I write full-time for Wired, but I'll try to leave my feeling about our content aside here) Even if you pay for a subscription to The Economist, you're still going to see ads, both on their website and in their apps.

I get dozens of emails like these every day and they drive me nuts. I wish people would get straight to the point rather than waste my time padding out the top of their emails with disingenuous small talk.

Hi, I wrote the Wired article in question. I hadn't heard about IRCv3, but it does sound like it would plug some of the holes in IRC that Slack users complain about. It wouldn't really have been a good fit for this article, since
