On the basis that this isn't an entirely rhetorical question, two I know of are Kinsta and Pressable. We use Pagely, but I have some hand-rolled Bash scripts which perform the same function.

I quite like Drupal too, but I know that clients find it confusing (or at least they used to the last time I spoke to an ex-Drupal client). We find people find WordPress much easier to reason about intitively, although that might well be fa

Perhaps we're talking about different principles. I believe very much in good engineering and more efficient code / websites to reduce resource use. I just don't think it should be in core WordPress code.

I agree in principle. It's the childish way in which it was done that's the issue for me.

Craft and Wagtail are the two I've heard of as WordPress replacements. In our sector (nonprofits) Drupal has too much of an (mostly undeserved, now) reputation as being very hard to use. I found Craft a bit too convoluted (as I mention

No, mostly ground-up custom built themes. I've tried Craft and found it pretty convoluted (althought that might just be familiarity), but will be looking at Wagtail. Still hoping that WP can pull out of the tailspin because it's g

This is far too dismissive - I'm guessing you don't run a WordPress agency. We don't use WP Engine for hosting, we only use the ACF plugin. ACF is not "very easily replaced" because we've built the site data

I've been building websites on WordPress for 15+ years, run a WordPress agency and have many clients who come to us specifically asking for us to use WordPress. I'm seriously considering moving to something else because we use the

Difficult to tell the economic / geographic context from a short article like this, but they mention the possibility of relocating the project. If possible that's a win / win, no? Sounds like it may just be the case that the

This was a fascinating read. I imagine Ben Cook feels pretty validated at the moment. What's most interesting to me is the thin-skinned response of Mullenweg even back then. Having read the blog post in question, the idea that Cook&#x2

I did start dabbling in computers in the early 80s, but I think there are far more people doing that now who have no concept of what actually happens and are are often sold pups because things are given deliberately obscure and cool-sound

I hate the term "serverless". It's a misnomer to the extent that it feels like it was designed to deliberately mislead. Even vague consultant-speak like "externally provisioned infrastructure" would feel more accura

I'd say this is common wisdom on sites like HN, very much not outside the tech bubble. I can immediately bring to mind a good number of non-tech family members who would be completely freaked out by this.

This is one of those personal sites where you fall down a rabbit hole. I've been reading this series of posts for quite a while now because it's simply but enjoyably written. He has a nice turn of phrase: > The let up in the we

The point is that a fictional story is just one of a host of possibilities, so you can't base decisions off what happens in it rather than the other n-1 possibilities.

Kind of an ironic comment coming from an anonymous burner account.

I submitted this because of the way that AI-generated slop is feeding back into AI-generated slop, creating a kind of averaged-out grey noise. More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Am_Sitting_in_a_Room

People are focusing on your very non-standard setup, but I've experienced this - less than you to be sure - on a standard MacOS setup with Firefox and only uBlock Origin installed. If I switched to Chrome without uBlock Origin it worke

Yeah, I was really annoyed when it to me quite a while to find that URL after they changed the layout of the site. I only shop on Amazon when I absolutely have to, and have an extension just sitting there being regularly updated with who kn

I have a friend who was tasked by a think tank to build an AI model for which they'd managed to get an enormous amount of funding. My friend pointed out that it would be much more effective if they used a regression model that could be

Now we're talking. Some kind of requirement for government-issued ID too.

Unless something equivalent happened in 1849, 1764, 1691... I think we're OK :)

True except the part about "works on every device" is dependent on what part of the device you're trying to use, as the parent says about Bluetooth.

I think most audio-only BBC programmes are available globally, even if they sometimes have ads inserted into them which aren't present if you're in the UK.
