argargon BitTorrent’s Secure Dropbox Alternative Goes Public

MIPS support would be great too and most likely trivial.

argargon How Balanced Automates Testing and Continuously Deploys

Nah I just googled for an online base64 decoder, then for a hex decoder.

argargon How Balanced Automates Testing and Continuously Deploys

It took me exactly 20 seconds to get the email address behind this ... and I'm not a professional rebus solver. I just happen to know how a base64 and hex encoded string looks like.

argargon Unix tricks

You need openssh 5.4+. I am running 12.10 and I've got 6.0p1

argargon Antigen is to zsh, what Vundle is to vim

It doesn't work the same way but I use this and like it: https://github.com/sorin-ionescu/prezto

argargon Unix tricks

Unfortunately OSX uses a badly outdated openssh version just like many other unix tools and it doesn't support the -W option. You could try upgrading openssh using homebrew if you want.

argargon Dell’s Linux Ultrabook gets more pixels, European availability

getting 4 hours minimum with lemur ultra i7 ssd 8gb ram. I'm satisfied with that.

argargon Heroku's Ugly Secret: The story of how the cloud-king turned its back on Rails

You should give a try to puma 2.0 currently in beta 6 (https://rubygems.org/gems/puma). Lots of performance improvements. I haven't benchmarked it but my guess is it outperforms unicorn.

argargon Show HN: Twosome - app created originally for my girlfriend

The sushis they made look disgusting. Way too much rice.

argargon Ruby 2.0.0-rc2 is released

newrelic ruby agent is unusable on ruby 2.0 yet anyway. It breaks the whole app. Pretty much everything else works for me though!

argargon Geary: New lightweight email reader for GNOME designed around conversations

Very impressed by the quality of this app although it's targeting GNOME. Only thing missing for now it multi-account support...

argargon Show HN: IRCRelay - Hosted IRC Bouncer Service

I took about one hour of my time and set up ZNC on my openwrt home router. Since then I never worried about that...

argargon Sendy - Send Newsletters via Amazon SES

Going to use it to send a couple of thousand of emails with attachments like, tomorrow. Up to now it works great in my tests.

argargon "Android ICS already offers more than what is coming in iOS 6"

Long time android owner and Galaxy Nexus owner here:

I... Love... This... Phone...

It takes beautiful pictures at an amazing speed, I get absolutely 0 crashes using multiple different applications, battery ALWAYS lasts at least the whole day no matter how hard I use it, and I love every single features ICS has to offer. I am in no way jealous of anything my iPhone friends can do with their phone and I will gladly buy another Nexus device when I'll decide to change phone.

I just wanted to offer the different experience I've had...

argargon "Android ICS already offers more than what is coming in iOS 6"

If you are an IOS user, whether a poweruser or not, you will get the latest upgrade and a range of new features by default.

If you're an IOS user, you're paying the comparable price of the latest nexus phone. If you buy the nexus instead of an iPhone, you WILL get the latest upgrade and range of new features by default. Let's keep a similar comparison please.

argargon Ubuntu Releases 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin

Running ubuntu as my main OS on my 2011 MBP for a while. Everything works and is stable except for the wireless driver, which you have to compile yourself and only supports wireless G. Things may have changed in the last months though. I don't know about the 2009 MBP hardware.

argargon Ubuntu 12.04 Review: This is the Distro you’re looking for.

If you're running it on a laptop I believe there's been a lot of work in the latest kernel in ubuntu 12.04 to help with the power management and battery life.

argargon Ask HN: MacBook Pro still preferred laptop for non-MS development?

Replacing my late 2011 MBP with a system76 lemur. I've been running linux on the MBP for a while and it works well, except for the wireless where only G is supported for now. I'll be receiving the system76 on monday so I can't tell if I like it.

argargon Ruby 1.9.3 via RVM on Mac OSX Lion: Success Story

I don't think that blog posts about how one fixed a single environment setup problem is HN worthy material ...

argargon Ultimate Rails developer & power user tools for Mac (2011 edition)

Same problem, same solution here. The magic mouse is the worse I used for my wrist. After 2-3 month I had regular pain in the wrist. Brought that same mouse you linked to I had at home and it disappeared a couple days after.

argargon TextMate 2 (Public) Alpha

argargon Mint.com turns 404 ad page into date ad for developer

What if he's interested in nerd dudes?

argargon Ubuntu: Wake up and smell the Unity against you

I've been working on a MBP for the last 5 month and like it. I recently installed Ubuntu 11.10 on a desktop PC I had at home. I setup everything for my needed dev environment, and unlike many other articles/posts I read, I loved it.

The computer specs are not the same, but unity is overall MUCH faster and smooth than my OSX MBP. The interface just works very smoothly and intuitively for me. I do most of my work in the terminal so I don't get to do every operations using the interface though. I'm even thinking about trading my MBP for a system76 ubuntu machine.

Unity is also quite new and I expect it to get better with every releases. Am I the only one in this situation?

argargon The Linux desktop experience is killing Linux on the desktop

What's with the mass downvotes... I don't think my statement is wrong in any way, if so explain your point. You may of course have something to add to it, but I don't think it deserves what's it's getting.

argargon The Linux desktop experience is killing Linux on the desktop

| Apple has successfully launched an unix desktop that has been stable and usable for years,

Apple got the huge advantage to have control over their hardware, which I believe makes all the difference.

argargon Ask HN: How could I make things change in my crappy CS department.

Good idea about the website. Of course I don't want to spend a lifetime on this, so I'll move on after that. Thank you!

argargon [dead]

I'm not hating, I just think it's weird that everyone you know have iPhones, when Android devices are outselling iPhones 2:1 and have now a bigger market share than iOS. Yet it's still possible. I'm just impressed.

argargon Ask HN: Who is Hiring? (June 2011)
