labria··on Skype for Android is available
At last. The "Lite" version was virtually useless, and fring recently droppped Skype support, so Android was left skypeless.
labria··on [dead]
Yepp. And, by the way, the source of HN is open, everyone can read how it works =)
labria··on Ask HN: Review my startup, ActiveInbox (GTD Gmail plugin w/ $20k donations)
And what about the "Reference"? IMO, not all emails are tasks, some of them are just data to be stored. What should I do with those?
labria··on Google Apps (nearly) first class citizen now
And Buzz isn't a service? I don't see a big red cross for it =)
labria··on How to set up your own private Git server on Linux
.. and chmod +x on it, IIRC
labria··on How to set up your own private Git server on Linux
I don't know, the only problem I found so far is the lack of tag display. It is a bit harder to install than gitosis, but you also get much more (for example, people can create projects and repos without your help, all the visual stuff, etc..)
labria··on How to set up your own private Git server on Linux
Another good solution is installing gitorious. Especially if you have a big team and a few projects.
labria··on A bridge oscillating (Russia)
Reminds the Tacoma Bridge incident some 70 years ago. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mclp9QmCGs
labria··on XMonad on OSX
Yes, I tried it, but gave up after a few days: it provides nothing that manual tiling doesn't (I have a background with a spot in the center, helps tiling 4 terminal windows).
labria··on XMonad on OSX
... and that makes it completely useless, sadly =( I would love to have a tiling WM for MacOS X, but it seems impossible (unless Apple suddenly makes one themselves =).
labria··on Opera Mini approved for iPhone
I don't think so, unless Opera Software gives you the sources.
labria··on FlockDB: Twitter's distributed, fault-tolerant graph database
Redis is a bit more than a year old. And it's been tagged 1.0 last september. I doubt that that the FlockDB project is much older than that.
labria··on FlockDB: Twitter's distributed, fault-tolerant graph database
Makes even less sense to me, then.
labria··on FlockDB: Twitter's distributed, fault-tolerant graph database
Scala again? Damn, my bet was on Clojure this time! =)
labria··on FlockDB: Twitter's distributed, fault-tolerant graph database
I didn't look too deep into the "distributed" features (no docs yet, the code suggests sharding), but the feature set looks a lot like Redis sets.
labria··on The HTML5 test – How well does your browser support HTML5?
r56990 — 143
labria··on Addressing The Outmoded Swapping And Paging Strategy in OSX
By the way, Apple does just that in Snow Leopard. The processes now have a "Sudden Termination" flag, and if a program has no unsaved data and is ready to quit, it sets this flag on itself. When shutting down such a process, the system sends it SIGKILL instead of a usual SIGTERM.
labria··on RSense - Emacs, Vim, etc. code completion for Ruby
As a friend of mine put it: "OMG! Code completion!!!" =)
labria··on Ruby official mirror on Github
What's wrong with redmine? It's not like they're using trac!
labria··on Tell HN: A small HTTP/REST dev utility I made. Hope you find it useful. Enjoy.
Fails on CONNECT requests, and you should probably override the TRACE response, even if it means braking the protocol. It's for testing, after all =) And what's so REST about it? I would understand if it received requests to any url, then you could change the host in the application you're testing, but still keep the path.
labria··on Ruby is not a callable orientated language
If we were to make () call blocks, then we would have to make ()'s in function calls mandatory, so that we would get something like foo()() to call the function _and_ the block.
labria··on 1 million fps Slow Motion video of bullet impacts
Interesting fact: the light flickering is due to the current alterations in the light bulb.
labria··on Show HN: My 2-Hour Twilio App
Where do you get them for cheap?
labria··on Flattr: Social Micro Payments. Pirate Bay-guy one of founders.
Just flattr yourself each month, to be sure =)
labria··on Flattr: Social Micro Payments. Pirate Bay-guy one of founders.
This one could work. Or fail like the previous attempts. But I do like the flat rate idea. The only question I have: Can I give twice to the same provider? Like if I liked the video he did twice as much as another one, I would really like to be able to give him twice the money...
labria··on "How to...if nobody is following you on twitter" reply from the target audience
I can't help but wonder: you want to work in the US, right? How do you plan to get a work visa (H-1B, I assume) without a degree in the field?
labria··on [Ask HN]How do I learn ruby on rails, if I already know a few other frameworks.
While a bit outdated, it's one of the best "getting started fast" books out there.
labria··on Anic: Faster than C, safer than Java, simpler than *sh
Erlang becomes easily readable once you wrote a few dozen lines yourself.
labria··on HN Meetup Tel-Aviv
I'm in too.
labria··on Ask HN: A New Decade. Any Predictions?
We have 10 years to find out =)
