on: Why I Actively Discourage Online Tooling like jwt.io and Online JSON Validators
Agree 100%. At my company, I've deployed the open source version of JSONLint.com internally to prevent any accidental exposure of internal or confidential data.

on: Introducing Money in Excel, an easier way to manage your finances
Exactly - this is a silly choice. Making it inaccessible to users of Office 365 for business is a terrible default choice.

on: Ask HN: Anxiety is limiting my enjoyment of a wonderful career. Can you relate?
I have friends and family members that suffer anxiety ranging from minor to debilitating anxiety where they feel like they cannot function. As davidkim suggests below, meditation, sleep and even exercise can help alleviate some of the symptoms but you also have to know that anxiety/OCD can be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and you simply cannot wish it away. Medicine may be appropriate in your situation and so I would start with a consultation with your doctor. No one should suffer and miss out on the wonders of life.

on: Stamplay: IFTTT for developers
Is there a JSON parsing component that I'm missing? I would think a simple JSON component would allow you to hook up any number of API's together to build an application. Assuming it's on your roadmap.

on: Ask HN: Do you use Web Application Firewall (WAF)?
I use mod_security for personal sites and Cisco NetScaler as a WAF, load-balancer and SSL offloader at work. If I was given the choice, I would use HAProxy and mod_security as I'm not too impressed with NetScaler.

on: Square open sources Kochiku
I'm curious as to why Square would spend engineering talent on a distributed CI system when you can buy something like Jetbrains TeamCity that does what they wanted to do. This is not meant as a slam and I am also a developer who loves to build things but I would think Square and other companies for that matter would want to apply their limited engineering talents in solving bigger problems that grow the business.
Not looking for a flame war - just curious to get different perspectives.

on: Show HN: I wrote an eBook on building iOS apps. First chapter is free.
Great job Ash. Congratulations. I got to see a little bit of the book development happen via GitHub and it was great to see how crowd-sourcing technical review/editor function could potentially work in the future.
Congratulations again.

on: Snag.gy - Paste images directly to the web
Is there a freeware or commercial WYSIWYG editor that supports pasting of images like this awesome tool?
I have a use-case where users are creating charts in Excel and want to paste them into a HTML textarea and WYSIWYG editor that supported paste of images from the clipboard would be awesome. Thanks
