hiphopyo··on Statements about the Mobile Web
CSS grids (http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-grid) are on the rise too I think.
hiphopyo··on Statements about the Mobile Web
Note that this behavior is already default in mobile web frameworks such as jQuery Mobile.

> Well doing it right takes too much effort.

Who told you that? It doesn't take any more effort than a normal desktop site given the right tools.

Great news! Been struggling with this for a long time and thought I was the only one!

hiphopyo··on OpenBSD Mail Server Intro
Also check this by the author of "The Book of PF": http://home.nuug.no/~peter/pf/en/spamd.setup.html

- isn't SpamAssassin too big, too old and too ugly considering it, according to the author, only stands for 5% of the anti-spam?

- can ClamAV really catch modern malware or are we just talking legacy viruses from the 90s and 2000s?

hiphopyo··on DigitalOcean now supports FreeBSD
Should have gone with OpenBSD instead to be honest. Half the requests on your UserVoice are for OpenBSD. All the coolest stuff in FreeBSD comes from OpenBSD.

OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL, and the NTP rewrite OpenNTPD. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland, the cleanest configuration syntax and some of the world's best documentation.

FreeBSD, on the other hand, is becoming more of a testbed for experimental, some would even say unnecessary technologies: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8546756. It's also having a hard time catching up to OpenBSD: http://itwire.com/business-it-news/open-source/62641-crypto-....

I guess web and app developers can start slowly by just blocking older versions of Android:

hiphopyo··on One Frickin' User Interface for Linux (2003)
I reckon Quantum OS, the Linux distro based on Google's Material Design guidelines, is trying to achieve something similar:

Personally I would like to see 1FUI as an intra-BSD desktop environment for all the BSD operating systems, most notably OpenBSD.

Countries like Malaysia and Indonesia have governments that exercise their own interpretation of the Quran. They are therefore, per definition, also Islamic states:

hiphopyo··on [dead]
Essentially every country with a Muslim majority is an "Islamic state". Hence the title could mislead some.

Nice take on the whole "perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away" thing!

Crazy how one man can do something that normally would take hundreds of people to accomplish.

Wouldn't it be nice if Erik Wernquist was in charge of the filmatization of "2312" (the novel that inspired his "Iapetus Ridge" scene).

hiphopyo··on Ask HN: Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux?
I'll take 10 skilled maintainers over 100 not-so-skilled ones any day. It's like that Swedish proverb, "the more chefs, the worse the soup". The better the OS, the less maintenance it needs. Just look at OpenBSD.
hiphopyo··on FreeBSD: the next 10 years
I could be wrong, but I was under the impression that that wasn't the case?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd/User#Xorg_as_a_...

  Unfortunately, to be able to run xorg in unprivileged mode, it needs to run inside a session. So, right now the handicap of running xorg as user service is that it must be run with root privileges [...snip...] It seems likely that xorg could be modified [...snip...], and then it could run unprivileged from a user service outside a session.
hiphopyo··on Ask HN: Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux?
There's the old "FreeBSD vs. Linux vs. Windows 2000" document which caused quite the stir:

http://people.freebsd.org/~murray/bsd_flier.html

hiphopyo··on Ask HN: Can we talk about FreeBSD vs. Linux?
Indeed. This thread should really be titled OpenBSD vs. Linux.

I'm sure most people here don't even know it's the only OS in the world allowing you run Xorg as an unprivileged user.

Just like Linux taught me to appreciate FreeBSD, FreeBSD taught me to appreciate OpenBSD. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, and the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.

FreeBSD -- growing overly complex [1], lagging on security [2], packing itself with unnecessary, experimental technologies, and representing itself with a satanic mascot and a shiny, dildo-looking logo.

Coming from an OpenBSD background (hey - it's the only OS in the world allowing you run Xorg as an unprivileged user [1]) -- what I'd like to see is an intra-BSD desktop environment based on Google's Material Design guidelines:

http://google.com/design/spec/material-design/introduction.h...

And for ol' times sake, the IRIX® Interactive Desktop User Interface Guidelines:

Similar to Quantum OS (Linux):

If you care about security, note that OpenBSD lets you run Xorg as non-root:

hiphopyo··on FreeBSD turns 21
That's the thing -- it's a testbed for a lot of experimental, some would even say unnecessary, technologies.

Just like Linux taught me to appreciate FreeBSD, FreeBSD taught me to appreciate OpenBSD. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. Creator of the world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD, and the OpenSSL rewrite LibreSSL.

hiphopyo··on LibreSSL: More Than 30 Days Later

hiphopyo··on Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015
About the Flash thing though. While there's a lot of sucky .swf files out there, Flash itself is probably the best web design tool out there.

Super intuitive and minimalist UI. Whether you need smooth lines and shapes or grid-snapped pixel graphics -- everything is always in vector until you export it to PNG. By combining its layers with its timeline, you get a sort of 3-dimensional layering system which boosts your productivity by a long shot. Then there's the whole animations / ActionScript universe if you're feeling frisky. The perfect design tool. I'm so glad Adobe bought it from Macromedia.

Like they say: "Flash for graphics, Photoshop for photos, Illustrator for fine arts, and Fireworks for kids."

Hire one for Creddle, yeah. You have an amazing starting point, just need that little extra (ie. someone who knows The Vignelli Canon backwards).
