<p>Because you're thinking in the context of a solo developer working on their site locally. You don't need a CMS. People that want to collaboratively work on a website, some of which may lack technical skills, need a way of previewing their edits that doesn't involve running shell commands.</p>

<p>Friendly heads-up, because that site looks like you've put in a tremendous amount of time to style it right: The carousels clip the shadows of their children. You could avert that by giving it more inner padding and using negative horizontal margins to counter that :)</p>

<p>You're absolutely underestimating the complexity of proper live preview of changes. This is essentially "hot reload" mode, but on the public internet, because it has to run on a public domain. Getting that right is a challenge, and if you don't know why, you haven't attempted to solve it yet.</p>

<p>Nothing would happen, because SCOTUS decided to grant the president immunity for any crime committed in their official function, which would be the case here. It would literally be possible for the president to order congress killed, offer an automatic pardon to anyone carrying out this order, and establish a monarchy.<p>This single ruling will haunt the United States for the rest of its existence.</p>

<p>> […] this is by design of both companies.<p>This is more of a fundamental technical limitation of operating systems and networks; I don't think it is possible to design distributed communication between arbitrary service provider infrastructure and end-user devices without an always-online intermediary reachable from anywhere (a bouncer, in IRC terms) that accepts messages for non-present consumers.</p>

<p>My problem is mostly that I lack the legal expertise to be able to a) write up a coherent policy with full coverage, and b) follow up on changing legislation, of which there has been quite a lot in recent years (at least in Europe).<p>The best option until now have been generators found online, which mostly seem to have pivoted to lead generators or demos for paid products now. Considering that in Germany, for example, any website affiliated with a company or pursuing any economic purpose is required to have both a proper imprint and privacy policy, this is something you have to care about. There are even lawyers writing specialised crawlers to find websites with linked Google Fonts but no privacy policy notice, and send automated litigation to the owners. This only became possible after a court decided (as shortsighted as stupidly) loading fonts from Google's servers constituted a privacy violation, given that visitors had no way to consent.<p>Following these changes and reacting in a timely way is a continuous effort, and a framework to automate this is very welcome IMHO.</p>

<p>It's not always as clearly demarcated as on that picture; sometimes there's just a sign.<p>I would also argue that a reasonably broad way for pedestrians and bicyclists can be shared without any issue, if both parties pay some modicum of attention to their surroundings and treat each other with mutual respect: Pedestrians by keeping to the right side of the path, and cyclists by slowing down when overtaking and ringing the bell to let people know they are approaching.</p>

<p>> I’m guessing some law (law-abiding) gives you the right to bother people who are using their own feet instead of wheels because you want to pass them and they should have to actively watch out for you and yield to you? Okay, that part is fine. But I don’t see how it is nice or, I dunno, ethical.<p>No. There are just people who will walk on a designated bicycle lane because  they haven't seen the signage, are ignorant or careless about it, or will just cross it to get somewhere else. All while wearing ANC headphones. This isn't about bothering someone, but warning them. It's really no different from someone jaywalking without seeing you, and honking to make them aware of that. Or are you supposing you'd just break and wait until they're finished crossing the street?</p>

<p>I don't know where you're from, but in Germany for example, there are countless situations where cyclists and pedestrians share the same space, or pedestrians can (or just do…) cross bicycle lanes. I'm a very law-abiding cyclist since witnessing a few horrible accidents, and yet I encounter situations with headphone-wearing pedestrians regularly. Often I'll ring my bell to no avail, until driving right up to them, and they still won't hear me. This is really frustrating; I'm definitely in the market for this.</p>

<p>I can recommend you to spend some free time to really listen to music again, Beethoven, Hendrix, Gorillaz, Slayer, Sub Focus, whatever floats your boats your boat. Your brain is wired to remember and sing along to music around a campfire, and will pump you full of exquisite drugs if you really give into it, ideally together with other people. Alleviates stress and makes you happy.<p>Music demoted to just background noise is unrelated to the social concept of music, which is so ingrained in our nature that we all can’t escape it. And that to me is also why I agree with OP—AI-generated music is fundamentally treason to our species.</p>

<p>I usually do several passes of "review our work. Look for things to clean up, simplify, or refactor." It does usually improve the quality quite a lot; then I rewind history to before, but keep the changes, and submit the same prompt again, until it reaches the point of diminishing returns.</p>
