A lot of people are doing these things already!

The Forestry.io blog has a number of articles covering some of these topics:

* eCommerce – https://forestry.io/blog/snipcart-brings-ecommerce-static-si...

* Search – https://forestry.io/blog/search-with-algolia-in-hugo/

* Forms – https://forestry.io/blog/5-ways-to-handle-forms-on-your-stat...

* Advanced Image Handling: https://forestry.io/blog/master-image-delivery-with-cloudina...

* Building APIs – https://forestry.io/blog/build-a-json-api-with-hugo/

Regarding user profiles, the Forestry website itself is built with Hugo and has a Rails app to handle profiles.

I know you don't want to rely on third party services, but if it's possible to handle this with third party services then surely open source alternatives could be built.

I used Hugo for a while, but I feel it's really held back by its templating language.

I've recently moved to Gutenberg[0], which is very nearly a clone of Hugo except for the templating language. After some benchmarks[1], I concluded that it's even faster than Hugo, and the ergonomics of using the templating language are far, far better.

I feel like you get this type of article from Americans as a cowardly way to avoid criticising unchecked capitalism or dealing with and engaging with their politics as a means to build a better government.

Easier to blame a nebulous concept and the individual, then advocate for any sort of group cooperatism - even though as a species cooperating is what we've always done.

I agree with everything you said except for this part. We certainly don't have equality of opportunity today. Maybe in small microcosms of the first world countries, but there is a lot more work that needs doing in most of the world.

You're right - but that is also kind of the point. Personally I run an online business and I don't even come close to needing (or using) all the data that Google Analytics provides.

I think that for your average "offline" business, just throwing Google Analytics at it is major overkill. It may even cause the website owner to simply not look at their stats just because they don't know what to look for exactly.
And it's an unintentional power that should be restricted in the minds of many.
The tape deck manufacturers today know what's up. Nobody is trying to get serious hi-fi out of tapes anymore. There are cheaper and more effective ways of doing that today.

People using tapes are looking specifically for the imperfections of the medium. Trying to get perfect reproduction out of one would be like selling a synthesizer that only produces the most perfect, clean sine wave. Nobody wants that. The distortion is the instrument.
not sure how I feel about this.

Forcing people to pray is authoritarian.

Not forcing them to is not authoritarian.

Organized prayer in schools is forcing people to pray.

Abolishing organized prayer in schools ends forcing people to pray.

Therefore abolishing organized prayer is anti-authoritarian.

If individuals want to pray they are welcome to, and now they will not be forced to pray to the wrong God.

If they are forbidden from praying on their own time without disrupting anyone else then yes that is authoritarian. But that's not what this is about.

Would you agree that many minor policies can combine for a large impact?

I can appreciate the desire for more detail - I would likely ask for the same thing. Yet I decided to paint in broad strokes because I'm trying to illustrate the cumulative difference of all policies combined. You have two first world states, one with great services and affordable cost of living, the other with notoriously bad services (e.g. ranked 44th in k12 education) and widely lamented cost of living. I think it is worth trying to figure out the differences. It might turn out that those difference are caused by simple demographic factors, which would be very sad and fatalistic, or it might turn out that political decisions have influenced the direction of society.

As a basic example, consider waste management in SF. The impact of SF instituting a mandatory composting program, which likely requires full-time headcount (with near term salaries and half-century long pensions) to monitor garbage bins, write citations, collect fines, inspect businesses, and carry out other enforcement and monitoring actions, might be small given the wealth and population of the city. But what is the impact when combined with a thousand other similarly small policies?
I forgot about the managers! They get to have jobs this way.
I completely agree. But from my experience, there are actually a lot of users that really like Windows. In a corporate environment it works really well, and that's a good reason to appreciate it.

And the fact that CIO/CTOs are not willing to migrate to a new OS may indicate that those "efficiency and productivity gains" macOS users brag about may not be significant :)

I really understand the difference between different UIs and hardware, I'm an Linux with i3wm user myself; but I'm not blinded to the fact that even though I may think I'm more productive on a given software/hardware environment; those are not the factors that really weigh in (without going to extremes of course).
I've been practicing interview questions everyday for the past few months on and off in Python. I've been trying to prepare for technical interviews. I run into problems with almost any problem I attempt and I was even worse when I started. Even something as simple as recursive solution of fib sequence was undoable until recursion clicked more.

I chose cs because I like problem solving, having a concrete end result and because it's a way to make good money without an extreme amount of years in school.

I think capitalism in it's purest form is fantastic. Unfortunately, the word has become associated with greed, wrong actions, and ruthlessness. My 2¢.
India and China were not doing fine when Europeans came and subjugated them. Slavery in a feudalistic society isn't some rosey funland that the Europeans ruined. Life sucked all over the world, for 99.999% of people, who lived in nearly eternal bone crushing poverty.

And how is freely trading your labor and goods for other's labor and goods an immoral system? I would call capitalism the most moral system we've ever devised. I assume you would think some central authority should decide who gets and does what, in some system that graph theory quickly shows runs into O2 complexity with node to node interactions swamping any decision making authority. FYI, having an authority tell people what they can and can't do with their labor sounds suspiciously like slavery, or exactly how the majority of people in India and China lived most of their lives pre-contact - as serfs, just like the rest of the world.
Honestly, no.

Or of the United States in the early 19th century. The 1851 Crystal Palace exposition was quite a shock.
"For example, this would suggest that if an event that makes you “angry” occurs multiple times in succession without actually harming you in a way that the feeling of “anger” predicted, and you don’t aggressively hold on to that label, by the tenth time you experience this event, your initial response would have slowly changed from the feeling of “anger” toward something more representative of the situation."

I don't agree with this universally. Case in point: road rage. A person could get cut off 100x and still feel anger. That's because emotions arent just a predictive system about an event. They are also about related ideas. In this case perhaps our driver feels like people take advantage of him. As long as that belief is there he may get angry every time he is cut off.

You could make that same comment without throwing 'white male' in the mix and it wouldn't have lost any substance.

I think your niche might be companies or professionals that need to communicate via satellite while 'out in the field'. For my job I need to take an Inmarsat BGAN terminal with me on trips into the backcountry so I can pull up a data connection wherever I happen to be. Obviously the data is very expensive. To limit costs, I check my email via SSH using Pine and basic web browsing with Lynx. Regular web browsing in Chrome is slow and very expensive. Your browser represents a huge step up from Lynx.

The maritime industry could find a large benefit from using your software. A friend of mine is a marine electrician who often works on large commercial boats up in Alaska. Some of these boats will pay in the neighborhood of $7000 per month for satellite service and unless you're the captain you get very limited access time. I'm sure they'd be interested in cutting their web browsing costs.

"In that case, the “proper authorities” were the western-aligned Shah government, while the “rabble rousers” would be the Islamists. But it was the rabble rousers’ view that was authoritarian."

I am not sure I agree. The "proper authorities" should be understood as whoever the person answering considers "proper". So for a religious objector to Shah's government, the proper authority would be (hypothetical at the time) islamic government.

The point of the question is, some people simply don't believe in "proper authorities", and take no issue with "rabble-rousers". They will answer the question negatively in any setting.

Addendum: Altemeyer IIRC discusses this point in the book, he explains that for example in Soviet Russia, believers in the ruling party can have high RWA score, despite the fact the regime was "different" and not "right-wing" (although the latter can be disputed based on the definition of right).
I imagine that scenario applies to very few industries and should not dictate the norms of others.
There are still far, far more proper tablet apps for iPad than for Android or Windows. I owned a Google Pixel C tablet for a bit but ended up returning it because android tablet apps were so rare. If I wanted android phone apps I’d just buy an android phone!

I currently own a 9.7” iPad Pro and I’d say at least 80% of the apps I have installed, maybe more, have proper iPad UIs or at the very least have light tablet adaptations.

What is the inverse of a fanboy? An anti-fanboy? Compulsive detractor? Super-carper? There seems to be a large outspoken group of people who go out of their way to talk about Musk despite their apparent dislike of him, rather than just saying nothing and ignoring him, seemingly they feel justified by the fanboys? I think that deserves a title, carper? Detractor? Hard to imagine commenting on this post to just complain about a person only semi-related to the operation.

"Need to" and "sane" are among my favourite subjective terms!

(Further below, I'll go into in which contexts I'd agree with your assessment and why. But for now the other side of the coin.)

In the real world, current-day, why do many enterprises and IT departments and SME shops go for µservice designs, even though they're not multimillion-user-scale? Not for Google/Netflix/Facebook scale, not (primarily/openly) for hipness, but they do like among other reasons:

- that µs auto-forces certain level of discipline in areas that would be harder-to-enforce/easier-to-preempt by devs in other approaches --- modularity is auto-enforced, separation of concerns, separation of interfaces and implementations, or what some call (applicably-or-not) "unix philosophy"

- they can evolve the building blocks of systems less disruptively (keep interfaces, change underlyings), swap out parts, rewrites, plug in new features to the system etc

- allows for bring-your-own-language/tech-stack (thx to containers + wire-interop) which for one brings insights over time as to which techs win for which areas, but also attracts & helps retain talent, and again allows evolving the system with ongoing developments rather than letting the monolith degrade into legacy because things out there change faster than it could be rewritten

I'd prefer your approach for intimately small teams though. Should be much more productive. If you sit 3-5 equally talented, same-tech/stack and superbly-proficient-in-it devs in a garage/basement/lab for a few months, they'll probably achieve much more & more productively if they forgoe all the modern µservices / dev-ops byzantine-rabbithole-labyrinths and churn out their packages / modules together in an intimate tight fast-paced co-located self-reinforcing collab flow. No contest!

Just doesn't exist often in the wild, where either remote distributed web-dev teams or dispersed enterprise IT departments needing to "integrate", rule the roost.

(Update/edit: I'm mostly describing current beliefs and hopes "out there", not that they'll magically hold true even for the most inept of teams at-the-end-of-the-day! We all know: people easily can, and many will, 'screw up somewhat' or even fail in any architecture, any language, any methodology..)
That's the great thing about subjectivity, I could say the same thing about your comment unless you have proof that no day traders were negatively affected.

The classic opsec-germs tradeoff
Because traffic in the neighborhood is nutso for residents and tourists alike.

Most of the neighborhood supports the tram project to reduce traffic, parking, and garbage issues from the hordes of tourists. Most tourists support the tram because it would be an easier, more scenic--and likely more iconic way to get to the sign than the horse-crap covered trails that are currently the only way to get up to the sign.

Warner Brothers is the primary business that would be affected by the sign, and that's because they're the ones building it, on their property.

all of this so people can go visit an advertisement that's now missing 31% of its letters for a retail development project...

It also happens to be the name of the town literally just below it...
Thread hijack, asking for a friend.. What's the state of forum software these days? Some friends want to move their private/closed forum off vbulletin, which apparently hasn't kept up with the times (in particular, mobile use is apparently painful). Is discourse the best way these days, or is there something more lightweight e.g with elixir as mentioned but still reasonably mature and full featured?
The question I quoted was not one of the two throw-aways. Even with the caveats you mentioned, this survey does not actually measure authoritarianism in any meaningful way. Take three of the things addressed in the questioning: animal rights, abortion, and LGBT rights. You can frame any of these things to make both sides seem “authoritarian” or anti-authoritarian. For example, public accomodation laws can be viewed as an impingement on the right to freedom of association, or a vindication of the right to participate in the economy free of discrimination. Abortion restrictions can be viewed as vindiction of the fetus’s right to life, or an impingement on the mother’s bodily autonomy. The article simply picks a framing for each issue, and labels the conservative point of view “authoritarian.”

But in reality, these disputes aren’t about authoritariansm versus non-authoritariansim. Both sides believe that the government may restrict the natural freedom people would have in the state of nature to protect certain things that society recognizes as “rights.” These disputes are about what rights society is willing to recognize and enforce, and what to do when those rights conflict.

If the person just got hired to be a professor at a university, they already know how to access research articles, one way or another. However they've done it, they are well beyond this "Step-1".

If this piece were about how some of the best young software developers who just got hired by some .org have figured out frugal ways to build their own servers by using 2nd hand equipment from previous builds of Google and Amazon servers; it'd be like someone saying: "Step-1: visit piratebay.org"
I think his heart is in the right place, but the execution is over-reactive.

Here are my ideas that I want to implement for myself:
1. Move back to dumb phones, landlines, or a wifi phone.
2. Limit movie/video consumption to a fixed time limit per day. For example, 1 hour a day.
3. Re-use old technology/re-cycle technology waste before buying new.
4. Move back to bare metal servers, and self-host.
5. Use simpler technologies that have no environmental impact.
6. Only invest in technology that is repairable and long-lasting.

Mostly query composition. I run in to this a lot. Say I need to write a less-than-simple query and reuse it with several different WHERE clauses.

If you had read the article you would have learned that WB suggested this tram as part of an investment in their on-site tourism facilities, essentially as another attraction to bring people to the public portions of their studio lot.
There's definitely a gap here. I've attempted to use Google Maps while cruising or walking around a new city and glance at what's around me every few blocks, but I certainly crave something that's going to recommend new places for me to check when I am traveling.

Considering Google has so much location history of its users, along its Places data, one would think that creating a recommendation engine for travelers would be fairly trivial for them. I would not be surprised if they are already working on this.

That said, I would enjoy and potentially prefer an alternative solution to one they could provide.
