Could you upload an alternative mockup?
hiphopyo··on Compressor.io – Compress and optimize your images
Why can't Adobe, with all their resources, simply bring "Save for Web" up to par with JPEGmini and Compressor.io?

What's the best way of doing this in Rails?

So far all I got is https://github.com/emrekutlu/paperclip-compression (jpegtran + optipng).

hiphopyo··on Babun – A new Windows shell
So apart from the package manager, Babun is basically for people too lazy to install Cygwin, copy over their dotfiles and set a custom font?
hiphopyo··on Monthly revenue breakdown of PlentyOfFish's early days
In the same way many musicians would argue that music was better in the 70s, one could argue that UIs were better in the 90s because there were less options and trends to confuse developers.

What happened between Jun and Jul 2003?
hiphopyo··on The United Arab Emirates “Drones for Good” Award
Reminds me of one of those "business plan contests", where in the end, whether you win or lose, they run off with your idea.
hiphopyo··on Facebook's git repo is 54GB
Could it be it contains a DB of all their users?
hiphopyo··on NPR open-sources Copytext, a library for handling spreadsheets as Python objects
There's https://github.com/nesquena/sheet_mapper too for Ruby.
hiphopyo··on LibreSSL
With a PhD in architecture, design and branding, there's something about the extreme simplicity of OpenBSD's web pages that I find really attractive. "Perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away".
hiphopyo··on New generic top-level domains
Wish there was like a mob that goes around beating up squatters.
hiphopyo··on For $45 Per Month, All the Coffee You Can Drink
Forever? So people who bought it back then can still drink for free? If you buy it now it only lasts for a year I think.
hiphopyo··on For $45 Per Month, All the Coffee You Can Drink
You're absolutely right -- everything turns to poison in excess.

Fun fact about THC though: "[...] babies of women who used cannabis at least once per week before and throughout pregnancy were 216 g lighter than those of non-users, had significantly shorter birth lengths and smaller head circumferences."

hiphopyo··on For $45 Per Month, All the Coffee You Can Drink
Same here. I love coffee but as with other drugs I get this vague notion that it's not always good for me. There's plenty of research over at http://pubmed.com and http://liebertpub.com if you're interested.

Those health benefits are more for people in their 80s. The coffee bean is actually a poison that the coffee plant uses to deter herbivores. Not to mention a recent Danish study that suggests pregnant women should abstain from caffeine as it's lethal to the fetus.

Wait, before you all drink up, check out the CAFFEINATED documentary (the actual documentary starts at 4:19). Ever wonder why Barack Obama doesn't drink coffee?

hiphopyo··on Building Carousel: How we made our networked mobile app feel fast and local
Came across "The Decline of the Mobile Web" here on HN a few days ago:

Don't optimistic actions prove he's wrong?

Awesome man, thanks!
hiphopyo··on New-Age Bullshit Generator
Reminds me of my writing before I discovered The Elements of Style by Strunk and White.
hiphopyo··on Would you take smart drugs to perform better at work?

hiphopyo··on Why not to use infinite scroll on your website
The fact that two of the largest sites Facebook and Twitter use it is good enough for me. All the young ladies I've spoken to don't seem to mind infinite scrolling either.
hiphopyo··on The Galaxy S5 does not have temperature or humidity sensors
What other cool sensors do mobile phones have these days?
hiphopyo··on Progress Button Styles
Some might argue that buttons should remain buttons and loaders should remain loaders.
hiphopyo··on Wu-Tang Clan Offered $5M for New Album Only Available as One Copy
Cool, thanks for the info.
hiphopyo··on Wu-Tang Clan Offered $5M for New Album Only Available as One Copy
I think it's brilliant. Nobody's ever done it before. Also that CD box looks like an ancient treasure. Wish I could get my hands on it.
hiphopyo··on Wu-Tang Clan Offered $5M for New Album Only Available as One Copy
It will be art regardless. This way though, as you can see, its value has skyrocketed.
hiphopyo··on Popcorn-app no longer on GitHub
This is why I always clone repos to disk.
hiphopyo··on Slick – Carousel
Yeah, looks better than the lot. Swipe.js, Slides.js, ResponsiveSlides.
