@rbranson I read that as two bytes, minimum length of 1 as if you're not allowed empty strings

Starting to release things again, for now here's a demo of what we built at Smyte finding spam on Twitter: https://t.co/XhcEXBZzZd

@MdLazarus Aah, must have pocket tweeted? ... and since I barely do I'm guessing it got pushed to everyone

@floydophone @dan_abramov Some tests ensure invariants about the code that are promptly forgotten. I don't think I could ever trust a sizeable piece of code (especially one I've written) if it's original tests were gone. Implementation side is painful but doable. Answer depends on quality constraints?

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@floydophone Another of my thousand+ ideas: a package registry that adheres to a security and quality bar (via code review). Charge corps to review packages when their devs want them. Reject duplicate and unmaintained projects.

@mxgxw_alpha @RealSexyCyborg @signalapp They're actively working on removing this requirement, but it's an extremely difficult technical challenge to do so while keeping it secure and user friendly. They'll get there...

@Rainmaker1973 Saw the same rocket *from San Francisco* that night (it was the 7th)

@bros3phina Sure, it looks like Apple just removed it because my developer license expired (they charge $100/yr for the privilege of having your apps in the store.)

I'll try sort it out tonight.

@Tech4Africa I've spent some time writing iPhone games

@RobertKoletka Not entirely true -- a lot of my friends complained that an advert 'randomly' appeared on their profile

@marcog You can try @keddey for one of the Google ambassador peoples

@JaneSarahRosen Consider playing Spit a.k.a. Speed on/with the #ipad. I've been told its alright :)

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@jonathansmit / @darb: PayFast has been on the todo list or almost six months now :(... Consider it bumped up a few notches.

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@darb You might want to check https://github.com/snapbill/snapbill-pyapi - we've been working on one ourselves :). Its also pre-beta though.

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@wesleylynch Have you considered SnapBill? We're local, growing fast and we also recently got multi-currency running :)

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@feylian We not seeing the same error you are. If you can send browser details / where it occurred to support@snapbill we'll take a look.

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@andybudd Maybe some the more UX-focused startups weren't at seedcamp? :) (snapbill.co.za) #tech4africa #snapbill - but there is more to do

[Josh Yudaken @qix]

@pixelprodigy the R2+8% fee is due to us acting as a middle man - we're working on ways of allowing users to use their own gateway accounts.

@marcog it seems like the "No" year olds are winning with 182 votes compared to 176

@keegan_csmith Spit / Speed. Its a fast two-player card game based more on playing speed than strategy - works quite nicely with multitouch
