That's a very misleading quote. The new Home Secretary wants to institute a different regime from day one of no deal, which deviates from original plans and creates a whole range of issues for EU nationals with and without settled st

The sovereignty argument for Brexit in practice is counterintuitive, it often implies it enhances ones choices and power over things. But being an EU member state doesn't give away sovereignty, it's a way of expressing your sovere

I would urge people to tell Matt Mullenweg and core WordPress developers that they don't want AMP in WordPress core. Since WordPress runs on >30% of the web, if WP adopts it, it will make the choice for most of the web that websites

I suspect it's nowhere near live yet, but it's relevant to this topic. There will be a massive new database and it's a terribly unlikely that this data will not be leaked or shared at some point.

Would have been better form to more substantially attribute Stephen Porges' work here, only a small mention is placed under his chart.

Clickbait headline with a jumbled post that contains very basic inaccuracies and arbitrary technicalities. What was the point of that?

Nuclino is also a very strong offering in this space.

Well, it's not a neutral word and this is an age where flawed filters and people might erroneously flag a search/posting history as fire arm related. It might be a low probability of causing any issue, but it's an unnecessary

Is this related to OrbitJS?

The project's choice of name deters me from even trying this unfortunately.

Great hook! I'm needing the opposite: non-devs. A more general purpose platform for recruiting teams would be great. I imagine I'm not alone there.

> This hypothesis was refuted by Max Tegmark in the 90s. No it wasn't and Tegmarks earlier criticisms were proven fundamentally flawed. What scientifically compelling arguments has Tegmark produced for his theories?

For clarity, I'm not trying to make the suggestion this is about the pursuit of revenue, because I don't think that at all. My impression is that this is about survival and growth. I've long emphasised the symbiotic relations

If that were true, why are so many existing users apprehensive about Gutenberg? Self-hosted users of WordPress have different priorities even if most would like a nicer editor, it matters how it comes about and it matters what other sacrifi

Yes and I'll concede that Gutenberg has a lot of room to grow and will even make plenty of people happy straight away. But I wouldn't call this about user happiness outweighing developer happiness, I'd say it's the other

by pknight 8y ago
Because it's a case of a for-profit company competing for paying customers of other hosted platforms. Most WordPress sites don't have that competition, they run the self-hosted version and they are already well served by 3rd party

The UI does interfere, you, as a theme developer, have to adjust to it, as do content creators. This is getting to the point I'm trying to make, that the project wasn't invoked to solve technical problems. It's not answerin

I think you've missed the point a bit. I'm trying to make a distinction between what is driving Gutenberg and what it's trying to solve and why. Improving the editing experience is a valid justification - of course - but it&#

I think it is a mistake to view Gutenberg as something designed to solve problems for users. > Adding complex content in a visual way is a real problem in pre-Gutenberg WordPress It's not an actual problem though, is it? That cottag

Actually, no, companies still would be facing sudden & unwanted barriers and there would still be the unresolved issue of whether the UK would diverge from the Single Market or not. It would still have the potential to wreck several sec

Nonsense on stilts. More serious exploits are routinely found in everyday tech. This is not a serious exploit, a stock install of WordPress isn't vulnerable. The idea that WP somehow is especially complacent about security compared to

Nothing ignorant about the statement that the UK will still be abiding by EU laws long after Brexit day, this is a fact. There's the possibility of diverging in some areas but even so the UK will largely align with the single market to
