See how Bud approaches building and watching changes; https://gist.github.com/azer/7819664

Same

If you're trying to find a good build tool, also look at Bud: http://github.com/azer/bud https://medium.com/p/6a4c74b4bd90

oakazon My Personal API

In addition to humans, you can use personal-api for cats, as well: https://blackbear.api.azer.io

It should also work for other animals.

oakazon My Personal API

This is an interface that you can program. For example, you can make a JSONP request to it (e.g http://api.azer.io/?callback=foobar) and fetch display/process my personal info in your app easily.

Here is an example: http://requirebin.com/?gist=7985717

oakazon Ask HN: Tools you use for remote working?

Slack is awesome

oakazon Uruguay legalises production and sale of cannabis

Those numbers are bullshit. The american view of drug industry, is more than bullshit.

I see the streets. Go to 6th and Market now, or 16th and Mission, both streets have tents that sell hard drugs. Every night, there are a lot of things going on there.

Who does even attempt to stop them? I lived in multiple countries, and the toleration I see here is just incredible. I saw those who sell and use heroins, and we (me and bunch of coworkers) just passed them.

Just a regular day. I don't believe your numbers. Plus; I believe, this entire business is a way to keep the poor classes as poor. Go read about Hasan Sabbah.

oakazon Uruguay legalises production and sale of cannabis

Yeah, investing on occupying oil lands is more profitable, right?

Don't even mention about class. If you had a piece of idea of social classes, you'd first support their life quality and realize that the drug industry is already a device of the system to knock them down.

Plus, what I proposed was to war against drug cartels, not users.

And you just keep that bullshit with the assumption of "drug war doesn't work" oh really? I know that hopeless face of the government, when it comes to stopping the crime, the eagle turns to a rabbit!

oakazon Uruguay legalises production and sale of cannabis

Yeah may be, or you have too much dead brain cells.

oakazon Uruguay legalises production and sale of cannabis

I'm curious why the option of blocking this business completely is not an option. US has the biggest army in the world, right? Doesn't it have a budget for occupying an entire country in somewhere far away? Then what does stop you from asking this simple question: why don't we fight for more life quality for everybody? Why doesn't Japan has this problem, have you ever asked this to yourself?

See the heroin addicted family photo first, then make your freedom speeches.

oakazon Bop.fm (YC S13) Links Together Music Silos Like Spotify, Rdio To Share Tracks

I had a similar idea since I wanna create playlists from tracks in multiple resources and made this library; http://github.com/azer/play-url

Which takes a url (Mp3, Rdio, Soundcloud and Youtube) and gives you a unified API to play it. www.7min.io/customize is based on this.

oakazon Bop.fm (YC S13) Links Together Music Silos Like Spotify, Rdio To Share Tracks

this is such a silly and dummy example.

I'm also having hard time to believe you have no idea about the starving people in neighbourhoods like tenderloin.

oakazon North Korea 2013 – A travel journal

Hey buddy, where are you from? I'm asking because I see people in much worse condition in the streets of San Francisco and Oakland every day.

In addition; North Korea is not suffering from only their decisions. They and us suffer from the cold war.

oakazon Why Vagrant?

My VPS is in London, never noticed any latency in Turkey and US. I guess Linode now has bunch of more cities, check them out.

For laptop, I recommend Macbook Air. The design, is a master piece of minimalism. As a guy who used Xmonad for years, I think OSX and a Linux VPS is the zen combo.

oakazon Why Vagrant?

Yes and that's the why you can't use multiple devices to access same environment. I highly recommend you to give linode + tmux + emacs/vim as an IDE.

oakazon Why Vagrant?

I (and probably most of us) focus much better when I change my environment. Using a VPS mobilizes your entire development environment.

oakazon Why Vagrant?

I have a Linode. It's available anywhere. e.g During I code, my brother asks me to watch his soccer game, and I keep working from a soccer field with my IPad; http://instagram.com/p/dNcNfREmwT/
