Prof. Jordan Peterson

He has fundamentally changed some of my values and thoughts about me, the world and my place within it.

Highly recommend some lectures or talks from him.

Mind to share a "quick link" to the mentioned documents?

Well written!

I still can't get over the fact that every (haptic!) button is replaced by some touch screen interface. I think it is pretty normal to change the air conditioning while on the road. Now it is kind of dangerous to change it because I need to look for the touch button.

Yeah it looks nice, but until I get haptic feedback from a touchscreen, please don't remove buttons/knobs which are often used while driving.

Someone using KDevelop for PHP development? Is it good? Is it bad?
Just wanted to let you know that Google Translate is really funny sometimes.

The /de/ page translates "fork away" with "weggabeln" which is really not what you meant (although it is really really funny).

A better translation would be "erstellen Sie Ihren eigenen Fork".

Nice tool, I like it. Are there any plans to release some kind of self hosted / licensed version? We do have an internal GitLab/Bitbucket server which is not accessible from outside.
Depending on the phone (works on Android):

Firefox and ublock

Exactly what I was searching for! Do you plan to create a business out of this or is there a chance for open sourcing/self hosting?
Yeah seems you are right. Can't connect via websockets. Console output:

Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at ws://expo.stimulusreflex.com/cable. action_cable.js:241:25

Maybe it's because I'm at work, but wherever I click on the site, it won't work - neither on Firefox, nor on Chrome.

(No TODO items are added, no sorting will be invoked, no chat message is submitted and no tabs can be changed).

Seems like a fair price to me. Will propably buy it if the time comes.

Somehow I hesitate to pay subscription based models, although I understand why this model exists.

Re:Ask HN: How do you keep your notes organized? on Tuesday December 17, 2019 @05:24AM (#21812287)
I use a self hosted Bookstack Instance for Notes, Blog Posts and Knowledge Base plus StandardNotes for my daily diary.

Permanently trying out other stuff (basecamp, todoist, notion, etc.) but keep coming back.

I also have a self hosted Nextcloud instance, where I started to put down thoughts which won't fit in the other two (like "lessons learned this week") but eventually will be moved to Bookstack.

I'm a big Fork advocat and use it on a daily basis, but I fear they will charge for a new version at some point in the future.

I think that because it seems they founded a company "Fork" which inevitable will need to make money eventually.

edit: I'm of course willing to pay some bucks for great software if it's a fair pricing model.

Could you go into more detail on this? Some pictures, maybe a blog post? :)
