So we resolved this by switching away from Cloudflare handling our DNS to revert it back to our domain service provider (Namecheap). This made our site available again.
Now we've switched it back to Cloudflare and still looks up.
So something in changing it seems to have jiggled some bits somewhere.
This blog post is a condensation of a conversation we’ve recently had on the Fun Music Place Discord. We’re sharing it primarily to give some insight into our Discord community, the discussions that happen there, and some of the things we’re thinking about.
For the next 6 months, the worker owners of Mirlo proposed to take a 7% cut of transactions conducted on the platform (on top of the percentage taken by our payment processor Stripe).
Track how your garden's plants are doing, and learn to grow anything.
Monthly Goals: Help our RGSoC interns develop their skillset, redesign our onboarding flow, iron out bugs in our front-end code, get people contributing knowledge.
Skills needed: gardeners, icon and UX designers, Ruby on Rails developers, JavaScript / AngularJS.
And even if you don't want to use a dedicate git hosting service, good site hosting platforms (Webfaction) make it incredibly easy to install a git server.
A lot of website use appeals when it has a local flavor. Quora and it's Silicon Valley answerers probably doesn't know how to answer the questions that many Non-US citizens might have. This has a lot to do with user base, and I don't see Quora marketing itself outside of America.
Failure rates that high are normal at many European universities. The idea there often is "let many people in, but let them fail out if they don't make the cut".
Not everyone is suited to some of the rigours of higher education, and when you make it freely available, more people are going to try it out, and more people are going to fail. I wouldn't call a 58% failure rate a bad thing.
"Either I agree with you or I'm part of the problem? And you call me narrow minded!"
Yep. I'm pretty narrow minded when it comes to thinking everyone deserves the same chances as I got.
"Did you even read my comment? I said I'm not spending time pondering why there aren't women in tech, because I don't necessarily want more women in tech. That's, by definition, the opposite of sexist."
Is it? You're letting the status quo be because you don't think it's having an effect on the tech we produce? On the problems we're trying to solve? You think that people not mentioning repression, how they are being made to feel uncomfortable and not at ease, is a great way to produce the best products?
On 3) why is it that in a field where people are lauded (especially here on HN) when they drop out of college or skip college all together and are successful, we continue to come back to the "there are less women graduates" argument?
Think about all the kids who don't see women in the tech fields and thus don't see it as a viable career path.
The "small pool of women CS graduates" argument is bunkt because CS is a meritocracy - so many men prove themselves through code rather than having gone to a college, and the only reason women don't is because they're discouraged at every turn - upon being hired, in the work place, at social gatherings.
Why does the graduates argument pose a problem for women while its so often celebrated when men skipped college or dropped out of college and became successful within our field?
>Now we're afraid to talk at a conference or at the office. We never make any joke that might be remotely sexual around female coworkers (note that my female friends usually take it really well).
Welcome to how it feels to be a woman, or a person of color, or gay, or any other person who his regularly discriminated against by society and a culture that elevates the white male simply for being white and male.
By ignoring the problem and not talking about it, you're perpetuating it. There is no societal problem that has been solved by not talking about it, and somehow, that is all I ever see people in the tech world suggest we do.
It's sad and narrow minded.
You say that you don't care about the sex about the person in the industry, but sexism isn't a superficial problem person to person - very little people are going to admit to being sexist or even think that they are - it's an institutional problem.
Every time that you don't say something, or you make an argument like this one, you are sending the message to people who are being discriminated against that the people who say something sexist are okay to do so.
So stop saying it's okay to not talk about. Please.
I work with a bunch of UX designers, and as the only developer here I'm often confronted with their question of "why can't I just describe what I want done?"
Their apprehension of tackling code is one I don't immediately understand, but I do get that they don't want to think about the how, rather the what. It's a funny parallel.
Here's a great video by Bret Victor who saw this problem, and tried to fix it for animation:
