I tried Hugo, Jekyll and Gatsby. Assuming that a static site is 95% likely a marketing (self, company or otherwise) site and a marketing site needs to impress, a static site generator should be first and foremost built from the requirements of frontend and not leave the user to "theme" some default HTML.

Gatsby is ridiculously fast (React based) and its plugin universe is full of all the common features you could ever need. It has built in 1-click service workers plugin for offline access, 1-click plugins for prefetching links you put on your page, auto-inlined-css (in v2), all kinds of markdown + fringe requirements like LaTex, video embedding, things like Call to Action plugins, MailChimp sign-up-here plugins etc. To get a feeling of the snappiness, check out their landing at https://www.gatsbyjs.org/ and their plugins here: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/plugins/ .

The community pushes and PRs at break neck speed every day and is super friendly - can definitely get the support you need. Lastly, it is a great way to "inverse learn React" if the objection is "Wow, I don't know enough React". React by itself is not that opinionated and Gatsby has enough good practices of putting together a React framework for you to use productively.

ps: the other frontend alternative would be vuepress, it should feel blazing fast too. Here's another article on why speed is so important: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2017-09-13-why-is-gatsby-so-fa...
It seems that the Citizens United ruling doesn't apply in Russia.
This will go down as one of Facebook’s most brilliant and effective marketing achievements: They’ve instilled this irrational fear in over a billion people that their social lives will suddenly collapse without Facebook. Any time you suggest to someone (who already dislikes FB) to delete their FB account or just stop using it, you get this totally predictable stream of excuses as to why they can’t live without it. There is probably a marketing slide deck at Facebook headquarters somewhere with all these excuses written down as goals and planned. Total genius on their part.

I don’t remember the last time I’ve logged in to Facebook (over 7 years ago?) and I assure you my social life is more robust than ever. If you don’t like Facebook or what it’s turning the world into, the only thing stopping you from quitting is yourself.
I mostly went to HN. My own migration was Slashdot → reddit → HN. I'm on lobste.rs too, which feels like it's in the growth stage. Fewer comments, but fewer bad comments still. HN is nowhere near reddit levels of decay, which is nice.

Keep worrying about this. You're almost certainly spending cycles on a non-problem, particularly if your implementation is different.
FTR, Australia long ago gave up any pretence to being an honest supporter of the UNDHR. It has breached it many, many times in recent years, and cynically covers this fact up by referring to the individuals involved as "illegal entrants", "illegal immigrants" and "unauthorised arrivals" .. justifying a long list of heinous crimes committed against these individuals.

Do not fool yourself: Australia is on a slippery slope towards a heinous future, and ignoring the UNDHR is one of the key steps it is taking towards that event horizon. It has never given a damn about the rights of Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, by way of example ..
This is still an insane ruling by the U.S. that has no reasonable force of law. The top court of Canada, the highest judiciary entity, has said that the results must be delisted. Nobody can overrule the Canadian court's ruling on this, especially not an American court. In order to be in compliance with Canadian law, the results must be delisted, and as a company operating in Canada, Google must comply with Canadian law.

A U.S. judge can claim all they want that Google doesn't need to comply, but it still leaves Google violating the Canadian court's orders. It's entirely within Canada's purview to begin fining Google and potentially seizing and shutting down their assets in Canada until they comply with the law.

The ideal that a Northern California court has some sort of authority over the matter is literally laughable.
Awesome. Transfer that wealth. Shareholders add nothing of value to any economic system. Transfer it all to the people who are making a contribution.

But you said "people are voting for socialism" (in a discussion about some group unionizing) and that's just a bullshit claim. This country is so far from socialist policies, and no one's running on a socialist platform, it's just empty words to say anyone's voting for socialism.
At that point you should put most of your work in a separate file, and just import the stuff you need for your demo.

This points to one of the dilemmas that societies will be hard pressed to confront. Are we capable of accepting decisions underpinned by algorithms even when the outcome is negative in a few cases? Inevitably an individual released as a result of one of these algorithms will commit a criminal act and the argument will arise that had an individual been responsible for making the evaluation and that had cash bail existed then such crime would not have occurred. I think people will have significant difficulty in accepting even the slightest of errors with algorithms (particularly with respect to violent crime) even if the overall result is lower than if humans had been the sole deciders. In many ways it's analogous with the ongoing debates about so-called driverless cars.
In this case, they say a km of fiber is worth $1 million+. A 125 micron fiber weighs about 32.4 grams per kilometer, which costs $55 on a Falcon 9. So 20,000x less than the sale price.
So, I'm not a Republican, and I didn't vote for DT, but the left's response to the 2016 election is really disappointing. It has been essentially a long list of reasons why they lost other than, "we didn't appeal to quite enough of the electorate". It was Russia, it was Facebook, it was everyone's a racist, it was anything other than something the Democratic party did or didn't do.

Facebook has issues, but the idea that it will "break democracy" is absurd, and kind of offensive.
Serious question, how can Canada force Google to do something globally?
That's exactly the problem. Facebook bubbles tell you your view is just fine as it is, and in fact you should probably radicalize your view to better conform with the click worthy voices you hear.

Well, that's the problem, isn't it? People are increasingly retreating into echo chambers that present no contradictory opinions. And now those echo chambers are being used to slip in incorrect facts and twisted opinions. People increasingly accept outlandish positions and the whole political spectrum is getting more polarized.

CNN documented that the Russians pushed propaganda on both sides, once having helped plan a protest and a counter protest at once. Their plan to disrupt democracy is very much helped by echo chambers.
The actual problem behind all that is that many people think "web development" equals "using a framework".

Sturgeon's Law: 90% of everything is crap. "Everything" includes all of art, and all sub-genres of art.

You might not have looked hard enough. If you are interested in finding the good ones, you should spend some time poking around; there are definitely demos with beautiful results, from people trying to make art, that aren't about the algorithm.

These two popped into my head, but there are bunches of great examples.

My Python is only marginally better than my Ruby (not great). Even so, developing my own theme was easy following their docs.

Looking at their blog[1] they seem to do releases very infrequently. 3.5 was released 2014-11-20. 3.6 was released 2015-06-15. 3.7 was released 2016-12-12. It seems like each release is about a year and a half apart. By that cycle we're about due for one.

It works in other ways too - for example, the ADF can do things that the American military can't. Thus, the Americans come calling to their Australia partners in crime when they want some nefarious deed done on the battlefield... and Australians just roll over and let it happen - as long as there are avocado's to smash, Australians just don't care what their government is up to.

My writing is terrible when it comes to my personal blog. I write much better content in hackernews, because I'm actually conversing with someone.

I think it really depends what you want out your blog. Mine is a personal blog. Its not going to be "successful" and I don't intend it to be. For the record I have 10,000 page views. Because I write it for myself, not anyone else. People mediate, I blog. That's how I reflect on things I learned. I want those experiences to live somewhere outside my mind, because its a lot of cognitive overhead to remember. It could be a blog. Or a vlog. Doesn't matter. But it needs to be public though attached with my real name. I've spent far too long writing under pseudonyms, some having 100k+ views on a page.

Normally I lock myself in a room for 3 hours once every 2 weeks. Then I force myself to write about one topic, of the 100 idea drafts I have. Most of these writing topics come from posting comments from hackernews.

> And suddenly, you are the moron in the eyes of millions.

I'd rather be known as a once previous moron than be an unknown no one knows about. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

> It involved telephone companies

Facebook, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Yahoo, and other tech companies were also named as defendants in the case; calling them "telephone companies" is a stretch.

> who cooperated

You're perhaps right that we need to demonstrate that the companies did not cooperate. The judge's ruling in that case includes that the companies were under a FISA warrant, thus, not willingly. (The companies own public statements also demonstrate this, but those are not under oath.) A warrant of the size alleged in the case would be unconstitutional, unless you believe searching millions of American's communications can someone be considered "reasonable", but it should at least be challengable in a court of law.

But further I worry this will be used for other (non-PRISM) programs, that did not involve warrants or cooperation, and were blatantly unconstitutional. If I have the timing of events here right, the Klayman case was a few months too soon; shortly after its filing, information about MUSCULAR (an NSA program capturing internal datacenter traffic in several tech companies, "the exploitation relied on the fact that (at the time at least) data was transmitted unencrypted inside Google's private cloud"[1]).

Well that's my bad then, because I read 500k per year. So that's 4 million per year. Yeah, no right to complain then. Two years of that is nothing compared to 80 years of comfortable living. Still, the rest of what I said applies- this guy is obviously as far from representative as you can get, and for anyone outside the top 30-whatever streamers is having a much, much shittier time.
Convince me that its "purest form" is an engineering discipline rather than a craft. What distinguishes it from things that you would agree are crafts? Or are all crafts actually engineering disciplines in their purest form?

I think this is a pretty interesting question. Personally, when I was young, I would have said what you said: it's engineering, specifications go in and properly engineered finished product come out. I was proud that my CS program was contained in an engineering school and that all my friends were in other engineering disciplines. The longer I do this though, the more I think it's a craft: fuzzy idea is put to a skilled practitioner and through discussion and creativity, one or more artifacts are created to satisfy that idea. You could argue this is true of more traditional engineering disciplines as well, and I would probably agree. I'm not totally sure what the distinction between the two things is. So tell me what the distinction is and convince me what we do is more the one than the other.

For what it's worth though, apprenticeship is also a very important part of engineering education. At some point, you have to see people do the thing, regardless of whether it's engineering or a craft.

As far as I know, people do call it zero-g. My point is that gravity is always around, so the more interesting thing to talk about is the acceleration due to gravity in one’s reference frame. For example, here on Earth, we usually neglect the Sun’s gravity unless we’re making accurate predictions of tides.

I used Jekyll until the combination of various Ruby versions, FreeBSD pkg, gems, and unaccountable bloat drove me mad with rage.

Have you ever looked at the dependencies for Jekyll? Why does it need a JS compiler? I mean, how many lines of code and how many Ruby packages with very specific version numbers does it take to convert markdown to html?

I'm now using Pelican and it hasn't driven me into a rage yet. Happy that development on it is slower and seemingly more deliberate. Then again I haven't had to upgrade it yet.

I don't think he was intending to denigrate particular racial groups. For instance he isn't arguing that any particular racial or cultural group is superior and he views the weaknesses that bring about the destruction of the "first men" as encompassing of all of humanity. Unfortunately the racial essentialism that is central to the book builds on racist stereotypes in the first few chapters.

>Hmm. Strange. But I'm sure there was something in the later chapters about the later mankinds. I've only read it on paper but I see no indications that the Project Gutenberg version is different from the printed book.

According to an amazon review some vandals did release a version of the book in which the first few chapters are changed so that they more accurately reflect 20th Century history:

>"I bought this book because I was interested in Stapledon's depiction of the possible future of humanity. I wasn't aware when I bought the 'Millennium Edition' that the entire section on the First Men- Stapledon's prediction of human society's development between 1930 and the eventual collapse into worldwide barbarism- had been completely rewritten to make it 'easier' for modern readers to digest without excessive disbelief. Yes, Stapledon's predictions of a League of Nations world power and the various wars in Europe and the unification of science and religion in the United States have no resemblance to the reality we've lived through so far, but so what." - https://www.amazon.com/First-Dover-Books-Literature-Drama/dp...

Maybe they also increased the racism of the first few chapters?
Sure. But if European countries can insist on globally de-indexing truthful information because they feel its continued propagation is harmful, that seriously undercuts any moral high ground available when China tries to do the same.
I think I'm missing a key piece in this article: it does not seem to explain why current fiber would be bad enough to need this, given its already incredible carrying capacity, even with loss due to imperfections and unintentional impurities. Without this, this just reads as "some people want to burn money for no good reason, yet again demonstrating that vanity non-problems are what gets you the headlines". Maybe it is, maybe it's not, but the article doesn't seem to clarify.
I too write better on comments, reddit/hackernews/etc. Because you are actually talking with someone.

Possibly because stability is a good thing in software. Not saying that's the case with Pelican, but I like things that don't change much. It often means developers know what they're doing.
Good. Because it doesn't threaten Free Speech as understood by virtually all democracies in the Western world, it merely threatens the extremely expansive interpretation of Free Speech in America's First Amendment.

Both notions are related, but clearly not the same.
Google operates in Canada (including having offices and employees), and must obey Canadian law if it would like to continue to do so.

While those who are fans of international corporations (for some reason), seem to think that these global megacorps should be above the law, having to answer to no country's authority, the reality is, a global corporation is beholden to follow the law of every country it operates in. And hence, if Canada tells Google to do something internationally, Google can either choose to comply, or not do business in Canada.

You can see a similar effect in how the US imposes bans on operating in some countries. If a company wants to do business in the US, it has to obey the US's bans on doing business with North Korea or Iran or what have you. Since so much global business includes US products or needs the US market, our bans have to be followed by more than just folks who live here in the US. If you recall the whole issue with ZTE being effectively shut down over a US ban because they dealt with Iran, you can see how a US law can shut down a Chinese company for doing business with a completely different country.

A country can define the conditions for doing business there as whatever it wants, and can impose any level of punishment that it can manage to enforce on a company that doesn't comply. That's sovereignty, and all countries have it.
To be fair there is also "It was Hilary" and "It was the Democrats". Not too much "It was Bernie".
Your thinking is very dangerous. Even if the algorithm is transparent and fair, that does not necessarily equate to a step forward because of the bias already present in the system. The algorithm will be[0] applied equally, sure, but that does not mean outcomes will be equal.

For instance, consider that owning a major asset probably decreases flight risk. That seems fair. But, this means that poor people are probably more of a flight risk than a middle- or upper-class homeowner. So if the algorithm considers this, poor people would be disproportionately affected.

Also consider that having family abroad or being from another country probably increases flight risk. Hence, immigrants would be disproportionately affected.

But now, when there is an unjust outcome, there isn't even an option to avoid jail time (even if that option is difficult to reach or undesirable); and the human responsible for the decision to incarcerate can simply wash their hands of it, since the algorithm gave the suspect a grade of "D". No need for empathy, sympathy, or guilt.

Then there are the pending discussions about what is 'fair' and the answer to those questions is politics...
