This is a fair question. My youngest is 11 now, so the "Santa" days are behind me. It was part of my upbringing, it's fun, it's a big part of the culture, the share of kids who truly get nothing (which is absolutely hear

To add to this, local production means that money can be moving through local financial institutions, with larger balances, which provides more liquidity to the community. Those financial institutions hire local people. Other local business

This is consistent with my experience. We're far from a business analyst or product engineer being able to prompt an LLM to write the software themselves. It's their job to know the domain, not the technical details. Maybe we all

I was fortunate enough to see David Gilmour play live this past October at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. The energy when he played Comfortably Numb was absolutely indescribable. I, too, think that Animals is a masterpiece. Also agree that

Love this. Some feedback: Not sure exactly what "Play Scale" is doing. Notes seem to be correct pitch but out of order. I'd put a "Play Chord" button under each chord instead of at the bottom. I'd like to be ab

I spent way too much time building with this at Cartegraph. We utilized the jQuery UI Widget pattern[0] for pretty much any UI we wrote from 2011-2013 when we started utilizing Knockout instead. I have to believe most of those components ar

Not speaking for OP, but got the feeling they're looking for things that can will accept "messages" as input, enabling the "share" functionality of other apps to direct post.

I believe you're correct. The 1/4" pedal goes into the device, but anything emitted from there on should be an aggregation of any MIDI going out (provided they're on the same channel).

Fair point, but wouldn’t we rather they be spending their time doing that than actively abusing kids?

The only learning resource I have continued to pay for is O'Reilly Learning. I have been a customer since it was Flash-based "Safari Books Online". There's a ton of content and they've expanded slowly into online co

"Prescribe" perhaps wasn't the right word. "Bundle" is probably better. Payload has no official i18n package/module/plugin/whatever. Re: the NextJS custom endpoint thing -- you're right in that I

NextJS instead of templates. Full-featured admin area. I'd say Payload is more akin to Wagtail than Django itself. It feels ridiculously modern compared to other CMSes I've touched, Wagtail included. Payload doesn't prescribe

Payload has an e-commerce template, but it definitely pales in comparison to WooCommerce. I can't speak to specifics, but if I were looking to migrate away from WooCommerce, I'd look at MedusaJS ( http://medusajs.com )

I've been using Payload for 18 months. They're only recently (with the upcoming v3 release) really piggy-backing on Next.js' server and routing. Before that, it was "just" a really nice headless CMS built on Node&#x

Biggest value prop of Pro (for me, anyway) was the Repeater field, which lets you add a collection field. I don't think GP's distinction of "websites that make money" == "online stores" is accurate or meaningfu

by marpstar 2y ago
That's correct. But not if you were using ACF Pro.

Agreed. I'm going all-in on Payload from here on out. Easier to declare custom post types than WordPress and without the need to explicitly disable any legacy cruft. I built my first app on it last Winter and it's only gotten bett

Uhh. I am. I've launched probably 30 websites using WP over the last 10 years, a couple for household name brands. WordPress stopped being "cool" awhile ago (because "PHP sucks" and the like), I've defended my

He's completely unhinged. The threats that he made that are outlined in this document... how is this NOT extortion? Any lawyers around?

I'm working on a system to help guitar/instrument shops post their products (by way of importing listings from Reverb.com) on social media to increase visibility to drive sales and followers.

Very interesting. When my buddies and I started playing in Ableton after years in Adobe Audition (circa 2010?), we immersed ourselves in Session view for writing and piecing everything together, building songs top-down instead of left-to-ri

To add to that: it also can't be "banked" (and thereby paid out after departure). Companies give free PTO because real "paid time off" has to be tracked as a liability on their books; if you haven't "earne

To an extent, yes. In my case, I've done a lot of WordPress consulting over the past 10 years and I'm grandfathered into a very inexpensive shared hosting plan from Site5 that gives me WHM access and the ability to create as many

As someone who plays around in the pro audio space, it's crazy how much you can spend on an interface. Especially "back in the day" (~20 years ago), most on-board stuff was pretty much trash and PCI sound cards (from Creative

My most recent project launched in January. NextJS 14 client integrated with PayloadCMS ( http://payloadcms.com ) for the back-end. I love both technologies in theory, but they're both going through a renaissance period and &
