What does this do that codekit and a browser cant?

> r/Technology leads all SubReddits, with an average of 2,027 Karma per Post

Is this saying that all posts in r/technology get an average of 2027 karma?

Im fairly certain that if you are on a mac you can do this with codekit or livereload

Perhaps, or they just don't do it again. Not all people in jail go back. Generalising things like you have here is not helping anyones understanding on the issue

This post makes no sense. Saying 'Criminals' become better criminals in prison is oppressive and discriminatory and how on earth it is related to this issue at all I do not know.

I believe that much of the incorrect representation of impaired individuals in the way you are talking about relies on a description of impairments as 'not normal' or as 'less than normal' rather than actually describing how a person is restricted by their impairment or disability (disability defined as social oppression due to impairment).

'The history of the portrayal of disabled people is the history of oppressive and negative representation. This has mean that disabled people have been presented as socially flawed able bodied people, not as disabled people with their own identities'.

First thing I thought too. Bit of a shame

Fastmail (paid) or Zoho(free)

Exactly, the basis for research like this is entirely social.

I think they mean suggestions on how the colours should be used according to content - e.g this light blue for text on this dark blue background (or whatever) - but yeah great site

It is a saying, I mean he will not be remembered as a present and attention giving father.

His marriage is relevant to the question - perhaps there is 'only one Elon Musk' because few others are happy to sacrifice family life in the way he is.

Hacker News is not used to the answer being social and not technical and suggesting that this mention of his marriage and an unnecessary value judgement on its failure by OP is not tabloid levels of personal investigation.

"What could be more important than a happy family and personal life? How on earth is this considered "hype"?"

Perhaps to you nothing is more important, fortunately people can do what they want - some choose family, some choose other responsibilities, most choose a balance. Whether Musk is happy or not he seems to have made his choice.

Some of the responses you are getting are as if you are the anti-Musk but you are right. People can choose family life, they can choose professional or a balance.

I see one as an individual perspective and one as a society perspective. Musk will be remembered for his incredible achievements, he will not be remembered for being father of the year (any time soon at least according to your post).

You do realise those things dont just happen. They happen through progressive social and economic policy.

The point is that the 'influencers' will be aware of alternatives and are vocal about it. If you use a service of google's because there is another service of gooogle's that you use a lot - the tie is a lot looser, and when people are suggested alternatives it becomes a lot easier for them to move away.

While looking for a google reader alternative I ended up finding out about owncloud and now I use that to manage and sync my calendars and contacts across my devices, I also moved my domain email to zoho and infact the only service I am tied into of googles now is the android play store.

I used google apps for ages and had a free account before it got paid only (except that way of getting a 1 user apps account through some other google service) and I did that because it was so easy, and i reccomended it to anyone getting a domain.

That probably won't be the case any more.

So, I was in search of a new rss reader, and I had no intention of completely moving out of the google ecosystem, but I ended up finding a system that works better for me, and when people come to me (who come to me because 'i know tech' or whatever), and ask me what they should set up there new domain with, they will get a completely new answer.

This is just a personal story and i'm sure its not relevant to everyone but my point is that this move, and others, is damaging their brand and when you introduce people to RSS who have no idea what it is, and then you show them google reader and they love the fact they dont even need to make an account because they already have gmail, they love it. That is gone

Maybe my point is better illustrated by this post https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5383495

There is obviously no problem with hearing about these things. I am focussing on the language used which could be seen to feminise the people taking part in the series when in fact we know nothing about them other than they are women and that they are in tech. I doubt you could find any other tech series which uses language as seen in the link.

Really, I am focussing on the mundane ways in which "women = feminine = emotional" has been portrayed in the few words that were written on the new series.

If you are interested in the way gender is reproduced in this way I recommend this reading http://www.mariabuszek.com/kcai/PoMoSeminar/Readings/BtlrPer...

It is a text by Judith Butler, probably one of the most influential living social theorists who writes on gender and focuses on 'the mundane', meaning language, acts etc

Anyway, I am excited to watch these. So, if you were involved - thanks.

Most definitely. We share the same meaning of the concept of a passion project. I was probably just over thinking it, I am just suspicious of the way such highly emotive language has been used and it just happens to be for an interview series with women.

I'll admit I had not read the link before I posted that comment, but looking at it now I still believe that the language used is overly emotional and I think that it has been used just because this is a series on women.

A definition of the word passion involves, among other things "strong and barely controllable emotion" and I think this may be an obvious case where a gendered stereotype has been blatantly applied.

Some sentences taken from the link:

"celebrate the work of some of the most passionate women in our industry."

"share one of their nearest and dearest passion projects with our community."

"to hear about some positive experiences from other women in our industry doing what they love."

I think this is a good idea but is the word 'Passion' only in the name because it's women?

I know this probably isn't meant for me since I don't seem to know what I'm doing. But how do you run this? An answer in a bit more detail than your github link would be useful. I have it on my server in a public folder and now I don't know what to do.

What country do you live in and what company did you do your apprenticeship with?

So you disagree with the cofounder idea?

Are programmers really willing to put together a site for someone else while the other person has a view to make money from the idea, even if the programmer is payed at the going rate? what is the going rate?

This is probably asking too much but for those of us who are not familiar do you have a link for this?

+1 for interest in this app. From what I can find it is a private app created for himself.
