Elixir and Phoenix with the underlying Erlang oecosystem is a different world in a positive sense. With Rails you will never get there. If you have the freedom, go the Phoenix way, it will enable you to do much larger things.

The brokenness was not the dominant factor of geocities, more the individualism in using a limited set of design resources.

This project should be tuned more into that direction.

Is the source available?

I can not install this in ubuntu / chromium:

  There was a problem adding the item to Chrome. Please refresh the page and try again.
  Details
  Image decode failed

Please, do not make me spend the whole afternoon just to get one gnu domain up. One little quickstart page should show just two commands, e.g.

  docker run gnunet/ngs
  gns-register mydomain.gnu

Thanks!

This website eats way too much cpu power when active in a browser tab. I guess the reason for this are the animations going on, this is not usable for production. Please consider using velocity.js, thanks!

There is only one really problematic package that is not supported in the current 16.04 release: network-manager-openvpn

Please support the bug report on Launchpad:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager-op...

Please post more examples of oldschool, web 0.1 and other ugly websites, thank you!

Are there any (curated) online collections ( besides random searching on archive.org)?

ah, that is great! I think feedparser has the biggest collection of obscure feeds, it is an awesome collection of what to expect in the wild. If you know some more sources of weird feeds produced by "modern web software", please tell me, thanks!

The selfoss reader [0] has a nice concept of extending the format of the incoming data feeds, would be also a very nice feature for your code. Even nicer it would be if new incoming data formats could be configured in yaml files without having to recompile.

the selfoss author mentions these kind of data:

* RSS Feeds * Images from a RSS Feed * Images from deviantArt Users * Images from tumblr * Your twitter timeline * Tweets of a twitter user * heise News with full content * golem News with full content * MMOSpy News with full content * RSS Feeds with readability

certainly not the most important sources, but it gives an idea about how diverse data sources are on the net today, so limiting to rss and atom is not a good idea. maybe some people would like to add facebook streams or other "social" sources.

Also please take a look at the extensive testing suite of feedparser [1] - lots of feeds there, that will break any naive assumption about how clean real life data will be.

IPv6 is a new thing, isn't it?

do you have an ansible playbook for doing that at hand?

Please provide a link to a "scientific" but easy understandable comparison of crypto communication software that educates users about what is important to understand about this complicated issue. It would be great if you could motivate the crypto elite of the world to contribute to such a comparison site. Thanks!

why is this useful?

do you have a tool that does this translation or is the tool your brain? :)

Multiple 404 on that page:

I am not trying to make you angry, but I think I put the finger right on the place where it hurts very much.

There is no clear documentation about what yast does or what it will not do - basically a blackbox. Maybe it will change apache config. Maybe not. Who knows.

Thank you very much for your attention - however I asked where I can find exact documentation about these things?

"Mr Brown from Suse wrote in a HN thread..." will not be enough as a reliable source of information. Yes, I could just read the source, however I am expecting such an extraordinary important thing that will change my config files to be documented. I need precise information here.

Also it would be important to know how this conflicts with configuration management systems like chef, ansible, puppet etc. - or is yast able to manage multiple workstations itself, so is is a replacement for these tools?

Thanks!

where can I find exact documentation about which config files are still manipulated / changed by yast and which are not?

A few things about Foundation 6:

You do not need to include the whole javascript, you can include just the things you need. However, there have been problems with webpack and Foundation javascript developers seem to have no clue about what is going on in the JS frontend world, acting like isolated on a moon station, disconnected, what leads to problems with integrating other things.

Very problematic is they still have FOUC problems - you have to look for various workarounds, but FOUC out of the box! The menu components and everything related to responsiveness suffer from it. I do not understand how this ever got released.

Foundation 5 was ok, but this 6 release is disappointing. The modular handling of menus is a good idea, but overall execution is bad, lots of micro-problems everywhere, it feels not even pre-alpha. Also very monolithic and non-cooperative, ugly to integrate with anything else.

I would recommend looking at semantic ui instead, which also has a good react integration, something Foundation designers do not have ever thought about.

About the community: the people are great, but Zurb gives them only a totally annoying "forum" that is not able to filter for versions, so when you are searching for things you get all the stuff from previous versions, an information design nightmare, that would be easy to fix, but they do not even seem to have a problem with it - this says a lot about the agency behind it.

Also be careful with installing foundation globally: it will overwrite your Foundation 5 binary, if you are using this, be careful. Not a serious problem, but when you still want to use F5 you have to prepare for it! Even with version 6 they still do not have a clue how to handle versioning, this tells a lot about the code quality you will be confronted with.

But they have great marketing, the site and everything around F6 looks really great!

Foundation 6.1 was worse than Bootstrap 4 Alpha. They are still cleaning up and completely changing things with 6.2 totally breaking your setup. Boostrap alpha is more stable than Foundation "stable".

Nobody should be using Photoshop nowadays to design a website. A competent web designer knows about html and css and - most importantly - has a good understanding for how a website behaves, especially regarding responsiveness and animations.

It is a good reason to leave the room / team / project when "design a website" means "open photoshop".

you could avoid conflicts by not naming your project files "Dockerfile" or "Jenkinsfile" or "travis.yml"...

Every random piece of software expects some kind of file in the root directory of a project - this is not acceptable and leads to messy project layouts.

Could developers of these tools please stop dictating where people have to put the "Blahfile" dsl config files and finally allow people to configure these kind of details.

Also I would like to propose a common standard directory "projectroot/config" for these kind of files, NOT the project root directory itself.

Thanks for your attention!

Would be very interesting to have an open document listing alternatives from the PostgreSQL universe to every point in that document (a gitbook maybe?). A few minutes ago I was thinking that "database firewall" could be a problem, but then I found [0] immediately.

If you like it when editors are fast and lightweight, have a quick startup time, are able to load really big files (e.g. database dumps) without any problems and generally do not distract you with random annoying things while you are working on code, then you will be happy that development on geany is going on - there was a new release [0] this month!

Yes, of course there are several [1] packages, e.g. for Ubuntu [2] - so you do not have to waste your time checking for a new version, downloading it via your browser and installing it manually, like it was done in the last century.

I am not affiliated with geany developers in any way, I am just not a follower of the new-old church of bloatism.

Why was this talk is interesting? Is there a video that shows things that happened that are not reflected in the powerpoint pdf? What was new?

BTW the powerpoint document wins the "most annoying document of the week"- award. We have better ways to publish URLs in 2016 than powerpoint. Please use reveal or anything else next time, thanks!

I did a quick search for "lockless" on HN, bugt could not find the article you are referring to - would you like to post the link? Thank you!
