Yeah, I doubt this is going to be hold for 100 years. WordPress itself? Maybe, it's certainly not the kind of software that goes out of fashion in a year or two like many frameworks of the day. But a paid service that's supposed t

This reminds me of those cases where creators have faked illnesses to market their work and get attention through sympathy, which usually goes horribly wrong. For instance, folks like Belle Gibson here: https://www.bbc.co.uk&#x2F

Nah not really. I think it's worth noting that SEO comes in two categories, and both of those are somewhat unfairly villainised online. Technical SEO: The on site stuff with relevant keywords in copy, heading/HTML structure, metad

The fact comments from latecomers are usually buried by the highly upvoted ones posted earlier probably contributes to this in my opinion. There's very much a need to be 'early' if you want to do well on Reddit, and that rewa

This is 100% why Hacker News has more of a community feel to me. Everyone sees the same content, and discussions aren't heavily segregated by topic the way they are on Reddit. So we get to see the same people share opinions on a multit

Yep. I tried to make a test account on Twitter/X to use the the API integration with, and dear lord it was a nightmare. Loads of captchas, the requirement to use a mobile number to sign up at all, and quite a few other issues I can&#x2

Honestly, I'm not surprised. Imagine if TV was invented recently. Would anyone actually use it? It doesn't exactly have a great elevator pitch: "Watch shows on a schedule decided by us, complete with unskippable ads! If your

That's fair, it's definitely a matter of preference which you prefer. I'd say both have their upsides and downsides. > Although that is also caused by poor moderation. And sadly poor moderation is kinda the default online

That's fair. I think this is the appeal of stuff like Reddit to many people, because like yourself they merely want the information they came for or an answer to their question rather than a community. I guess some people go on forums

Hmm that's fair. I personally like to have agree/disagree as neutral value judgements, but it could work pretty well with agree as a positive too. Either way, I feel like the XenForo reactions/Slashdot ratings system probably

I used to post on Medium, but I've long since moved on from posting there. The paywall setup is one of the reasons for this, but the low quality content, lack of visibility for less popular creators and degraded site experience are als

Wonder if a good fix would be to explicitly separate the options? So for a post you'd have 4 buttons: - Good (which says 'this is a high quality post that adds to the conversation' when you hover over it) - Bad (which says &#

What makes this so surprising is that Charles has voiced Mario (as well as Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, etc) for over 30 years, with the recent Super Mario Bros Movie and the Japanese version of WarioWare Gold being some of the very few instances

Same reason people watch cable news. Because they want to be informed, and (likely incorrectly) believe seeing a non stop stream of information means they're more informed about what's going on in the world. Heck, the journalists

A lot of this is likely due to funding for ambitious projects/startups/new businesses being a lot harder to come by in Europe compared to the US. European investors seem hesitant to invest in consumer facing companies, and often p

As someone who lives in the UK, I can definitely second this. Companies and people just seem to be in no real hurry to get things done. I just moved into a new home recently, and literally every step of the process has taken longer than it

Well, I'm not too surprised. When a product launches in a massive way like this, activity tends to die down over time unless extra work is done to keep the hype going. That's true of everything from a forum to a Discord server to

There are a few differences though: - Cops actually have to care about the justice system in some way, so won't usually take the car if it's not connected to a crime - Because of the above, there is at least theoretically a way to

Yeah, this would be the way. This hypothetical restaurant would probably only need the following pages: - Home page - About Us - Menu - [Maybe 1 or 2 info pages] - A contact page (with or without a form) That's something that can be ea

Yeah, 100%. It's why I'll never use a Uber type service for my day to day transport needs, and will make sure any cars I get* don't require accounts, internet access, etc to function. It only takes one mistake, one corporate

My first thought was the way early 1990s forum and blog scripts did it, aka the UBB/Movable Type method of storing everything as static text files in a directory somewhere. That would be really inefficient though. I vaguely recall data

That too. It's a lot easier to work on a complex project if you've got a large team working on it. Like the teams that the 10s of thousands of devs at your average FAANG company can staff. Well, that and how most complex projects

Honestly, the truly 'smart' programmer isn't someone who does or doesn't use a bunch of techniques or best practices, it's the one who can look at the situation and do what's right for that particular project&#
