We relaunched our company website in Kirby and have been really happy with it.

As a developer, it really hits the sweet spot between providing you with tools to create great webpages without forcing you into any particular modes of working.

Excited to kick the tires on Kirby3.

Just a comment in another post, it’s not just for small to medium sites, there is no reason why a large site can’t run this, it’s extraordinarily fast and immensely extendable.

Lastly, can’t say enough good things about the community!

> HNers: "Ugh, can you zoom your content for me and shape your content to my browser?"

You got it backwards. More like "Stop fixating on a width and shaping your content in a browser limiting way". They are asking for the removal of viewing restrictions in both cases, no need to pretend like they're at odds.
Why? If it's ok for you to discuss, of course.
It’s dog walking, not artisanal mango cultivation. The vast majority of people picking up unskilled labor gigs through apps are just trying to make a buck. It’s almost the entire source of the app’s labor pool. And it’s not an inherently bad trait.
I think the OP refers to the (de facto) blockade of Yemen - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blockade_of_Yemen .

Quoting from that link, "The United States had joined the blockade in October 2016" and "According to the international law of naval blockade the naval measures conducted by the coalition led by Saudi Arabia do not amount to a naval blockade in the legal sense" and "Due to the devastating famine in Yemen and supply shortage of essetinal goods, which are caused by the enforcement measures, the naval operations off the coast of Yemen are criticized as a violation of international humanitarian law."
You probably mean gGmbHs which, unlike SPCs, are strictly non-profit. A gGmbH is more similar to a 501(c) (tax-exempt) corporation in the US. That said, it's really tragic that many open-source organizations aren't tax-exempt in Germany.

LitElement – A simple base class for creating fast, lightweight web components
Reminds me of an old joke:

A man goes to a Psychologist and says, "Doc I got a real problem, I can't stop thinking about sex."
The Psychologist says, "Well let's see what we can find out", and pulls out his ink blots. "What is this a picture of?" he asks.
The man turns the picture upside down then turns it around and states, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love."
The Psychologist says, "very interesting," and shows the next picture. "And what is this a picture of?"
The man looks and turns it in different directions and says, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love."
The Psychologists tries again with the third ink blot, and asks the same question, "What is this a picture of?"
The patient again turns it in all directions and replies, "That's a man and a woman on a bed making love."
The Psychologist states, "Well, yes, you do seem to be obsessed with sex."
"Me!?" demands the patient. "You're the one who keeps showing me the dirty pictures!"

This is exaggeration. You're overselling linux but underselling macOS. It's not terrific in every aspect (window snapping being one) but you don't have to pay for every basic utilities on mac. Finder is reasonable. Preview supports a lot of file formats and even allows PDF stitching (few platforms support this out of the box). Keka is a free unarchiver for macOS. Karabiner is a free tool for remapping keyboard keys. Homebrew. iTerm. IINA. Compared to Windows, macOS support a lot more out of the box.

> You even have to pay for a decent file manager on macOS and it usually still doesn't come close to Dolphin, which is a pure joy to use on Linux,

You're conflating expectations. A vast majority of people are using the file manager for basic stuff. Not everyone needs a feature packed one for day to day operations. If they need one, Commander One is free.

> (lack of) ideology when it comes to macOS developers, as in, they don't feel strongly about advancing free software etc.

This is cynical. I see plenty of developers on mac or developing for mac using it to contribute to open source projects. Just because it's not translating into free and open source consumer-facing projects on macOS does not imply that devs do not care about open source. In fact most of the important projects put instructions for developing on and for macOS first.

From what I've seen, people on macOS are mostly paying for software like BetterTouchTool, Alfred, Keyboard Maestro, Hazel, Carbon Copy Cloner, Ulysses. Software which extends the core OS in a set of ways fitting a myriad set of needs - not for basic stuff. Few of these have convenient or easy to use alternatives on other platforms. People are paying for options, convenience and polish.
> Is there really anything that bad about this message to the workforce?

No—there's nothing wrong with it. The results might be bad, though.

2019 will be hard for Tesla and its workforce. When things are hard, people start asking the question "Is it worth it?"

This could very well have been the very best way to handle the business necessity of reducing the workforce by 7%; it just might have some bad consequences that were unavoidable when the available business options are: be unprofitable or layoff workers.

My comment was aimed at the realities (2019 will be hard for Tesla and employees)—not a moral comment on the action of laying off people.
Because the inverse seldom seems to be true. Employees are usually expected to be loyal to the corporate cause (or at least give some appearance of loyalty).

During one assessment many years ago I was accused of not being sufficiently "loyal", and I (ah, youth!) responded, "You want loyalty? Get a dog."

Needless to say it didn't go well for a little while until a higher-up manager squashed the whole thing because he agreed with my point of view.
> I do think the idea that you're owed a job at a company forever is wrong.

Forever, sure that is wrong. However, there is some expectation of constancy. Simply because people tend to make choices based on the status quo.

What makes things worse is that signaling that lay-offs are coming, either for specific people or in general, really harms productivity. This is because people start infighting and lose morale.

Hence, companies have reasons to announce these things late. This means it becomes harder to trust statements by employers about job security.

When firing happens, this distrust is amplified.
The worse thing is, if you're in the middle of nowhere with 0 reception what then? We need to rely on what's available locally above anything external, of course downloading all the map info and caching it definitely should be a big priority. I wonder if based on some location information and given that the car can 'see' where it's driving if it will improve GPS clients and work even when reception is so poor. I hate driving and hearing "GPS connection lost" from Google Maps, like really? You can sense certain things about my phone, why can't you just keep going, I've pre-cached a good chunk of the map too!

I'm not a GPS expert by any means, but dang.
You’re getting a sampling bias in your data, because you’re taking it from this community, which is (duh) focused on getting rich with risky ventures.

There are definitely those of us here who are in it for the technology and are passionate about what we do (i.e. software engineering). I love computer programming. I hope to be doing it until I physically can’t anymore.
Seems to be not a hard rule though, since e.g. the Center for the Cultivation of Technology (https://techcultivation.org/) managed to achieve gGmbH status.
Did you mean "compare Amazon of 2006", that was the year AWS was released.
I find the sticky behaviour of the left sidebar a bit distracting and unnecessary.
You are right about what Youtube is, but what I meant by Youtube instead of Patreon is this: With Patreon, you have to work for building an audience, but Youtube pays you based on your views. A Github that pays people based on the usage of their code might not be the easiest problem to solve, but what I'm suggesting in the end is the same thing with you. Only time might show what such incentives may turn the platform into, but considering the general audience of the site, I doubt it'd turn out like Youtube.
I've heard this excuse many times but it doesn't make sense to me. Zürich (with excellent public transport) for example has a densitiy of 4700/km2[1] and many areas / cities in US have an even higher density[2].

> But it's of no use to be "skeptical about models" based on poor results of one class of models

This is not just "one class of models". This is the gain side of the gain-loss equation needed for the estimation of ice balance in Antarctica. If that side has an uncertainty 10 times higher than the stated result, then how can I not be skeptical?

>That's why you have experts who know what the state of the art is, and what to be skeptical about.

"Trust the experts" lead to the 2008 financial crisis. "Trust the experts" was what string theorists were telling us until Lee Smolin exposed them. "Trust the experts" is ultimately what religion is.

>skepticism is somewhat empty as a value

That's a surprising (for me at least) point of view for a scientist.

I'm quite sure you wanted so say something else. Something like in your experience, those who describe themselves as climate skeptics (I mean in what other context do people declare themselves skeptics? I'm a skeptic about the dark matter as well, by the way) are simply obstructionists, or ignorants, or have a political agenda or something else. Since we are all more efficient forming Bayesian priors to work in life with, your Bayesian prior in this case is that "skepticism is an empty value". And that's quite fair. I happen to agree that a large part of "climate skeptics" are quite toxic. The way the Trump administration treats the EPA, or science in general seems quite deranged. But that doesn't mean you can't be genuinely skeptic. In this case skepticism has nothing to do with values.

I simply approach this debate and I use my own heuristics. I don't know any climate scientist to use heuristics such as human character, you seem you do. For me, I apply other heuristics, based on my day to day work with models. I reached other conclusions so far than those that you reached.
Reading through this thread maybe my opinion is particularly un-nuanced, but I have always assumed that people who say stuff like this are just speaking clickbait and they don't mean it and me and them know it.

People seem mostly fine a week after losing their dog and once they get a new one it's like the old one never existed.
Meanwhile in my family so many things have changed in ways that are hard to describe ever since my father passed away years ago, and one can still feel the repercussions.
She is openly racist and sexist so good riddance. Let's hope she never is in position of power again.
It's interesting that those posts are always flagged on HN. Being openly racist and claiming moral high ground is increasing cultural problem. More discussion on it could be helpful.
Not really in the same way. High property taxes mean you usually can’t sit on a property and wait to flip it, it has to be put to productive use because deprecation (through taxes) happens right away. No one can really afford to buy an apartment building, decide that renting the units isn’t worth it and just sit on the empty unrenovated apartments until buyers come along.

In China, you can buy property and just sit on it. Many apartments are never even renovated because market level rents are too low to justify that. Yes, they apartment costs 7m yuan to buy, but only rents out for 10k yuan/month that doesn’t even cover interest. Keep in mind that renovation actually decreases an apartment’s value because new owners have to unrenovate it first.

I am highly doubtful that Netflix can produce great stories

I think Netflix is banking on the fact that great is on the whole unnecessary and pretty good is good enough. Every mediocre TV show is someones favorite and if they just throw out enough different things something will stick for enough people. In the short to medium term at least they don't have to make you super engaged with their content, all they have to do is have enough OK stuff that you don't bother unsubscribing.
I am confused. The readme says, "Disclaimer: Despite being very similar in the end goal, This project doesn't compete with this awesome one[1]."

But it is competing, isn't it?

China's government might not want to continue with their high urbanization policy in the future. Perhaps they want to keep, say, 20% of the population in a poorer rural environment so their country won't have to bring in migrants to do the work migrants traditionally do in richer countries and territories like the U.S., Hong Kong, and the UAE.
That's wild. They could fix the roads to calm traffic, such as add more lights and bumps.
First of all good luck! But, is this really a thing? or just trying to convince some investors to make it rain?

Yep, and I'd say the masses, who only really came to the internet with the advent of web 2.0, only know how to do social media the new way, not the classic way.

Even technical users seem to want to move away from email for more than office communication and password resets. A lot of projects move off mailing lists and on to forums, issue trackers, etc. because the affordances just match modern expectations.

Confidentiality agreements always keep these kinds of things from coming to light, merely because the cost of breaking them is too damned high.

If we are talking about tv series then there is a really low bar for what is considered "great stories".

maybe he meant 24 hours hardly qualify as fasting, if you don't eat breakfast, that's just skipping one dish

i am usually doing 36 hours starting after dinner until next day after breakfast and it's way too easy, even 48 hours would not be problem. the issue for me it's i am cooking for family and children sometimes don't finish their stuff so it's difficult to combine it with my fasting, if i would be single i would be doing 48 hours regularly
We already have a solution deployed: gas taxes.

FB is indeed evil in this case, but be careful not to blindly make over-generalizations with unnecessary correlations. FB, like most, can be good and evil. You don't have to accept the deluge of low quality, substanceless FB op eds the same way you do articles with more objective content.

I think we forget that we're dealing with brilliant, exceptional people when we speak of these authors. Like many of their characters, they're far beyond the norm in human intellect and capability. These are by far my favorite quotes of Heinlein and yeah, show that he demanded personal accountability and liberty, and probably didn't like unexceptional people. He loved brilliant and independent people, and characters, and was an asshole to the rest, and to those who opposed his philosophies.

“An armed society is a polite society” is one that's floated often today among those pro-gun.

“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”

I've encountered people that take these as him being a fascist, asshole or prick. Personally, I agree with him on both counts, and consider most people to be lack contributions to the human race for their lack of desire to learn and become competent, or for their inability to learn. If that makes someone an asshole, so be it.
