I misspoke, I meant if the suit was ongoing. ETA (March 2025): My prediction was incorrect.

We'll have to see. I could certainly be wrong. But I doubt WP Engine has qualms about settling (given the right terms) and I imagine Mullenweg will start receiving big invoices for lawyers that tell him they aren't confident they&

I doubt the case will make it to trial. I think they'll be settling in the next few weeks. But I did double check, and you're right of course, the complaint does allege they violated the CFAA when they cut off access from WP.org i

It's not that they don't benefit from collaborating, it's that they don't benefit as much as they could by demanding a royalty or licensing fee. Why shouldn't they? Everyone expects to be paid for their services.

That doesn't move the needle as far as restoring the trust you've broken. You should negotiate with WP Engine to drop their suit contingent on your resignation. Maybe they'll go for it. Resigning is the only thing that would

In hindsight this should've been all the warning anyone needed. In the future, when a BDFL telegraphs that they're willing to abuse their powers like this, we need to fork immediately. Open source is more important than any single

To me this is indistinguishable from an account takeover attack executed by an insider. I doubt any prosecutor would be interested, but to my eyes WordPress.org has violated the CFAA by accessing WordPress instances outside the bounds of th

I've vouched this comment. I don't think we should be flagging this comment; it's not particularly out of line, and there's a significant interest in the community seeing Mullenweg's comments.

I'm sorry that I made you feel disrespected. That wasn't my intention. I'm not any more intelligent or a faster a typist than the next guy. Which is why I place such an emphasis on tooling (like code completion). If you haven

Fair enough, that is narrow enough to be a market. I'm also surprised it isn't one.

by maxbond 2y ago
That's understandable. Personally after embracing strong typing I find it hard to go back, and I feel like my time and energy is wasted without good feedback from the LSP and reliably understanding what types I'm dealing with or w

At the risk of repeating myself, that sounds like insufficient tooling to me. Are you only seeing these issues when you explicitly compile? And then you have to fix a bunch of them? Because I see them in my editor in real time, and often cl

How would that contract resolve? Who may authoritatively declare a winner?

by maxbond 2y ago
The cost of strong typing is increased compilation time, increased memory use during compilation, and increased complexity in learning the language. Time spent resolving type issues during development is time spent testing and debugging shi

I think what you perceive as "friction" I perceive as "feedback," and it helps me work faster while writing code that's as good or better. When I interact with unfamiliar untyped code, it takes me longer to find my

> It makes it hard to find the right solution through experimentation. To me this suggests the tooling was insufficient. One of the things I value about type systems is being in a tight feedback loop with the compiler. Strong typing help

If you think that there is a distinct group of people who commit all the crimes (as was suggested), and we can solve the problem of crime by locking all of them up, than you are mistaken. Or rather, that group is "everyone." It&#x

You've blinded yourself by othering them. "There's only so many people criminally predisposed" - that may be comforting, but it's too naive to build a policy around. 100% of people would commit crimes under the righ

(I am not a cryptographer.) None of the hashes available in webcrypto's digest() are suitable for storing passwords (eg it doesn't support argon2, scrypt, bcrypt, or PBKDF2). They are all SHA family hashes. https://deve

If you're looking for big stuff like copepods, it helps to get a filter (say, 50 microns). That way you can concentrate the larger microorganisms from several liters of water into a few drops. At that size, $20 pocket microscopes are p

To expand, generally you wouldn't want to change the identity of the document by signing it (eg change it's hash). That's bananas. If the signature was external to the document, you wouldn't need any complex and error

There are many other ways to accomplish that. Eg, using other forms of humor to blunt your remarks. Jabs do sour relationships with people who aren't open to being spoken to in that way. Your previous comment about people becoming &q

I think there's a few things at work: 1. Men are socialized to only be emotive in aggressive or masculine ways. Expressing vulnerability is met with mockery until you learn to stop doing it. 2. Sometimes people don't know how to c

`psql` allows for putting your credentials in a dotfile with a very simple syntax. Should be quick to add support for, and would create a seamless onboarding experience for people who are already using `psql`.

That's total projection I'm afraid. I think you're assuming that, if I have an experience in any way dissimilar, I must not have friends? I'm just guessing because this is a non sequitur. Thankfully, that's not the
