Is there any solution for me wanting to have my recordings be private, or only distributable within a small group?

This looks really cool! Unfortunately, there don't seem to be *nix build instructions in the source repo - it's only for Win32. Anyone have any tips on building this on OS X?

As an avid MacVim user, I'm really interested in people pushing the graphical vim experience on Mac OS X.

I find it interesting that you included a fuzzy quick-open. One of the pain points with CtrlP in a large project - even with fast hardware - is the synchronous building of its filesystem cache. I would be interested in trying another implementation that lives inside of an app (where it can be dispatched asynchronously).

All in all, a nice looking app! I'm interested in giving it a shot!

Looks really cool! I was using [slate](https://github.com/jigish/slate), but it seems to be abandonware.

I have a couple of things I'd like:

- A [Divvy](http://mizage.com/divvy/)-style grid. When I used Divvy, this really made a dramatic difference in my window management - Rich Spaces/Mission Control support. It'd be great to send windows to certain spaces, make spaces for windows, etc.

I'm excited to write a Hydra config for myself, it seems great!

Several months ago, I became pretty interested in the idea of a unified computer setup. Between my home computers and work computers, it began weighing on me mentally to have to switch contexts all the time. I'd forget which machine had `wget`, which `fish` functions were installed on which host, etc. The most tedious thing was the process of setting up a new computer: painstakingly finding each and every little configuration I had on my other machines, and copying them over. I'd spend half a day just setting up a new machine. I wanted something better.

I first tried Ira's [mackup](https://github.com/lra/mackup), which syncs files to Dropbox. Its catch-all approach scared me, though, as it backs up `fish` history by default. I decided to move to something different.

I ended up basing my dotfiles setup on the GNU [stow](https://www.gnu.org/software/stow/) utility. Here's how it works:

- In `~`, I have a git-managed directory `dotfiles`

- For every new app I use, I make a new directory in `dotfiles`. For example, `vim`, `fish`, etc.

- I run `stow` on all these directories, and it symlinks everything into place

I ended up rolling my own update script, but it's pretty trivial. I also made heavy use of Homebrew brewfiles, which can be used to define what commands you would like to run through Homebrew. I also use [Homebrew Cask](http://caskroom.io/) to install apps.

In the end, I now have the exact same configuration on all my machines. For work, I have a separate branch, which has other fish functions / utilities. I recently got a new computer, and I ran the `update.sh` script while I went to lunch. When I came back, my machine was ready to go.

Take a look at my setup [here](https://github.com/peterhajas/dotfiles).

I can't tell if it's finished yet:

> Keybase will be a public directory of publicly auditable public keys.

Nor do I understand why I'd use it. Do lots of people post GPG encrypted messages to each other on gist?

They're making an enabling technology which can solely be used for stealing. Seems like piracy to me.

peterhajas | 12 years ago | on: New algorithm finds you, even in untagged photos

Would it be significant? I think most computer vision feature descriptors can be run over multiple images in parallel.

It'd be neat to reduce the entropy of possible photos by using EXIF data (location, etc.)
