hiphopyo··on Redesigning the United flight search interface in Photoshop
Photoshop is meant for photo manipulation. For user interfaces and web design in general, Flash is a much simpler and intuitive option.

Good point. But isn't Craigslist's lack of vetting a good thing (1)? They're already giving out plenty of safety advice (2).

You're gonna get human input the minute the two of you meet anyway, so you might as well cut out the middleman and save a few bucks.

Interesting take!

Are all these new age dating sites / apps really that much better than Craigslist? I understand people want to make money, but I've had it up to here hearing about a new "next big thing in dating" every damn day!

For sure. Best looking app I've ever seen. The level of simplicity is just breath-taking. Amazing how well they made it all come together.

Could we please see a demo?
hiphopyo··on What the Heck is Happening to Windows?
Microsoft should start from scratch and make Windows2 Desktop, Windows2 Mobile and an OpenBSD-based Windows2 Server.

Cram thousands of users into a hall using all sorts of versions and customizations of Windows along with A/B testing, heat maps etc. to figure out the fastest and easiest way to get a thing done. This way users won't have to spend hours trying to customize their Windows (read: disable all the new stuff).

Also maybe throw a world-wide design contest to find the best suited man / woman to be responsible for a new Windows2 design.

Like they say, "perfection is achieved, not when there's nothing left to add, but when there's nothing left to take away".

Does Windows 8.1 still suck with the Classic Shell enhancement?

hiphopyo··on Install Ruby 2.1, Rails and Passenger on Ubuntu
OpenBSD doesn't require compiling, it has precompiled packages just like Linux.

Yes, support for Linux is much more wide-spread, but that's due to marketing and not the quality of the OSes themselves.

As for Passenger vs Puma, no management and administration tool is more superior than the Unix commandline. Plus, you don't need fancy sandboxing features assuming your OS user account is properly secured in the first place.

You mention superior this and that, but I find it all hard to swallow as I know you guys go around spamming Puma-related articles and tutorials with stuff about Passenger.

I can definitely vouch for that.

With Linux, it's lot of beating around the bush. Overcomplicated config files, a lot of disabling and removing of things one don't need, having to deal with a messy and outdated firewall. With OpenBSD, I'd just have to change a few config file lines and lo and behold have one of the most secure and well-thought out servers the world has ever seen.

Also, with the existence of Puma, I don't see why anybody would want to use Passenger.

Choose OpenBSD for your Unix needs. OpenBSD -- the world's simplest and most secure Unix-like OS. The world's most used SSH implementation OpenSSH, the world's most elegant firewall PF, the world's most elegant mail server OpenSMTPD. OpenBSD -- the cleanest kernel, the cleanest userland and the cleanest configuration syntax.
