(Which is available now, while the GUI will be available at a later time.)
It also shows the dangers of the drive for lower costs in companies like this. The current system is doomed to reintroduce the same problems all over again, regulation and more control will not change this.
Of course you could argue if it's in scope for a project like GitLab, but it means that I could use static site generators for projects where non-technical users need to edit the content without ever thinking about a CMS.
Would be nice:
- if it would also provide an easy upload/commit of images to some configurable directory from that Markdown editor;
- configure a content-editor user that's restricted to a subset of directories;
- allow the user to preview the full website without pushing to the live environment;
- use a tag or branch to mark the version that can be pushed to the live environment.
It would probably be the most flexible CMS that's available right now.

So if you ramp up production and you need for example an additional factory, that means your fixed costs will go up.
Alan Kay tries to express this concept in his talk "Normal considered harmful", it may give a different perspective on the same concept.
I think it's very good to point this out in relation to immigration right now. However, it's just one of the reasons we should be open to immigration: humanness (brotherhood); a better outcome for both parties ("immigrants" and "natives") in the long run if we give immigrants a possibility to start a "normal" life as fast as possible; we can share the workload and may alleviate the problem of ageing western societies; etc.
[1] I.e. a licensing model based on GPL and selling services that Red Hat uses for RHEL, instead of a licensing model like they, and a minority of the "open source" companies, use.
My employer at that time was using MS Excel to parse the log files of all sensors of the predecessor/older part of the system that is shown in this video. I told her that I could probably do it 10,000 times faster by creating a simple program in Visual Basic.
Visual Basic was way too slow on our "high-end" Pentium laptop to parse that many 1MB log files, so I rewrote it in C++ (learned it on the job)[1]. The managers got insight in the performance of the various components of the system which they never dreamed of having (they were hardly aware that the system was creating this detailed log messages).
By the way, the system is developed (at least partly) by Vanderlande [2].
[1] Took me a couple of days, probably even weeks back then. I would write the code in 1 or 2 hours now.
I'm currently in doubt to move to either Mailpile or your platform on my personal server. However, PostgreSQL would be a big plus for your platform, since I don't have any experience with MySQL in recent years, and I rather do not run it on my VPS just for mail.
The invoice data from my hledger file and a HTML template together are generated to a HTML invoice. The HTML invoice together with a CSS file are processed to PDF using WeasyPrint [1].
I believe it's also possible to replace the BIOS with CoreBoot, however I haven't tried.
I like the fact that I can easily replace components (battery, cd-rom with an extra HDD, etc.). Lastly, I agree, they're rock solid and survive most drops and even waterspills.
I agree with you that the only alternative is self hosting. That's why I'm anticipating a new wave of low power mini-computers with solid state memory, a fully configured embedded GNU/Linux or *BSD distro, and a webbased interface for management which would make it possible to host our own services at home using OSS only. The FreedomBox is an example of this.
Personally, I stay clear from any hosted e-mail services. I don't care if their backend is open source or not. RMS explains all problems with SaaS in his essay "Who does that server really serve?".
It's sad that the current selection of open source e-mail clients is not that great. Especially, for less technically inclined people.
But for me the biggest problem with adoption of SSL is still that every domain name needs it's unique IPv4 address, and all problems that come with that, not registering or paying for the SSL certificate.
At work, I usually use virtual hosting for about 100 domains on one IP address. I don't see us buying an IPv4 address per domain and adding them to my NIC configuration one by one. Once we can safely ignore IPv4 and use IPv6 only it will probably become easier and cheaper.
Switched to a ThinkPad and I'm happy working with a quad core T530 now. I've also tried the T540p, but I didn't like the trackpad at all. Also, I found the FHD screen from my T530 to be of better quality than the FHD screen of the T540p.
Personally, I will never buy a Mac again.
What I like is the fact that everything just works (tm). Just as it used to be on Mac OS X. No need to fiddle with 10 volume control applets on your minimal tiling WM, none of them works well with PulseAudio. Same for the battery indicators, manually loading your desktop background, setxkbmap etcetera in your .xinitrc. You're basically forced to mix-and-match your whole desktop.
GNOME 3 comes with batteries included. Everything works out-of-the-box. Yes, the eye candy is a bit too much, but I think the Activities menu is very useful and productive. I can just use my computer, like I did on Mac OS X before. But now I the Linux desktop also gives me much better performance, package management and stability.
Only thing I miss on GNOME 3 is a XMonad's tiling system and keybindings. It's a shame they lost the ability to swap the window manager for your own.
As easy as:
tar -xJvf ghc-7.8.1-i386-unknown-linux-deb7.tar.xz
cd ghc-7.8.1
./configure --prefix=/opt/ghc-7.8.1
make installShould I download a package from http://deb.haskell.org/? If so, where can I find 7.8.1?
