Can someone ELI5 me what the appeal is to something like Jekyll, seems a lot easier to just setup a Posthaven account (or something similar) given you also get a WYSIWYG.


From my point of view, you're trading ease of editing but gaining speed, security and scalability. If the only thing on the site is static files behind a CDN, it's going to be fast and hard to hack.


Jekyll created static websites, with no database for an attack vector. I learned this the hard way after having a few digital ocean droplets compromised, no backups, etc. Thats one advantage.


-Static Website

-Easy config

-No need to leave Emacs

-Easy automation (no WYSIWYG)

-Potential for a WYSIWYG if you want one (Lektor, for instance, another static site generator, provides one)


The biggest thing I see with this is you're now blocking both left and right turns while the vehicle is moving.

If you look at something like the 511 Spadina Streetcar in Toronto which runs on a right of way (ROW). You're in one of three states: the alternate direction of traffic is allowed to move, traffic going straight is allowed to move (including the streetcar), or cars are taking left turns.

Other LRTs and Streetcars either run on a ROW or they are on their own road without other modes of transit. Similar to portions of the Nice trams, and dozens of others.

LRTs and streetcars are generally running in the middle of the lane meaning that will only block left turns. But if you have a tram (they call it a bus, but that's stupid) that's required to be on the outside of traffic it would have to stop or slow down whenever a car is turning right. And when cars are taking a right turn, if there's not space on the road due to a back up, that tram will now be forced to stop since the car will be on top of the tracks.

Given the cost of building the infrastructure vs the time saved. I don't see how you're coming out any better than an LRT or BRT.

This is if it's in local traffic. I think a lot of these issues could be avoided on highways if you're able to fiddle with the design of off-ramps. Of course, that highway would need to be two lanes in each direction.


Yeah while it passes you can't turn left. Assuming there's only two lanes in each direction. But only while it passes :)

In terms of beating BRT, I guess it avoids the requirement of a busway?


I disagree: Delivery trucks, city busses, school busses, tour busses, construction vehicle. All of those exist outside of the US/Canada and would likely not fit underneath the TEB.


I wouldn't consider those "retail market" as per my comment above


100% agree. And not just "the two guys joking around tag" but the "we recorded this in one take and then published straight from garage band." That would be a significant improvement over the podcasts discovery tools inside of every podcasting app.

That make it a lot easier for any of the new shows coming out that are trying to be like a Radiotopia or Gimlet style show, to be discovered.


I agree, It's easy to waste a lot of time on these podcasts. I hope that over time with the voting, the best stuff rises to the top


Can we have metadata ? Submittors can mark up "the talk starts at 1:22, topic X starts at 1:34, ..."?


Might be enough to just tag certain podcasts as "amateur"


I don't think that is such a great idea- Sometimes very professional people who are amateurs at audio production and amateurs at public speaking make awesome podcasts- The tag would need to be a lot more specific.


Agree!! Mixergy does almost zero post production but has amazing content if you're in the startup space.


20 y/o App Academy grad here. I was 19 when I finished the program. First, I must say the program was totally worth it. This is true that you have to pay regardless after the program. It really blows. The fee was also quite a bit lower when I went (I think it was 12,000, 3k upfront) back when it was just 9 weeks. It was explained to me that people under 22 showed more of risk as they might go back to college since their peers are still in college. It sucks that they weren't more transparent, but I found it to be completely worth it.

Additionally, There was more than one occasion I was late on payments and they were always lenient on my payment dates without ever charing me interest. Should they be more transparent? Absolutely, then and now. But I found it to be totally worth it.


Totally clicked on it because I wanted to know what "Homophobic Encryption" was.


Neat site! Usability note, I would add something to catch all key strokes. When using the search bar(which is pretty cool looking) I started typing, searched, then I hit delete to clear the prompt and was sent back. Granted this is normal behaviour of any website, but given it's a command prompt, I'm used to it being always ready for my typing.


There is a search bar??

Let me look again... oh, wow, I totally ignored that, thinking it was just a design element to break up the header from the jobs.


I gave it the benefit of the doubt that this isn't anything malicious. It seems like you were even able to normalize the currencies and distances? Are you actually checking if the email has it listed in Kilometers or Miles?


Yes, in addition to adding to any city, why can I only add a location when I'm there/I manage it.

I have a few spots in mind from when I was in Montreal but am currently in Nebraska.


Damn dude, nice work, I've been following your developments on /r/digitalnomads


Tried to head over to /r/digitalnomads and it's banned?
