I have heard so much about how electric cars are close to zero maintenance. I suspect they want to ride that wave as long as possible to further that perception.

If you were an insider deliberately trying to tank WordPress, it is hard for me to imagine anything you could do that would be more effective than this.

It veers quickly into conspiracy theory territory but I have long thought a nation state is a likely candidate for creator. You can kinda pick from several, all equally free from and evidence, and come up with narratives around why they mig

Regardless of which side you're on, so far the one thing that seems clear here is that the lawyers are going to be the real winners here. When that is happening between two companies I generally don't care about it that much, but

I'm in basically the same boat, but aside from a bit of eye rolling I think I've convinced myself I can just ignore this and safely continue to download wordpress.org/latest.zip when I need it and hack it into whatever shape

That is a weird conclusion based on no other evidence but my my comment. How do you differentiate what I wrote from what a reasonable person would do in similar circumstances?

Is that it? Or is that we read articles like this one based on actual data from actual real world testing and evaluation, and recognise that the risk of failure is probably beyond what most of us are willing to tolerate?

I have never thought of WPE as a competitor to WordPress.com but perhaps weirdly I think of WordPress.com as a competitor to WordPress.org. For example, if I have a WordPress site I've built from scratch out of WordPress.org, I am just

My VPS provider just lets me take image snapshots of the whole machine so I can roll back to a point in time. It's a little slower and less flexible than application or component level but overall I don't even think about backup a

I switched to Clink several years ago and it's a bit of a game changer for me: https://github.com/mridgers/clink I tried Terminal but it felt weirdly laggy, although IIRC it was still beta when I tried it so it mi

If you look at the background radiation of the Internet of automated things just hitting services to probe for exploits, they are most commonly looking for exploits from bugs in older software. There's a timing argument - that unless y

Yeh I got up to the repeated bits of having an LLM do the work and gave up because it's indistinguishable from all those articles shilling AI as productivity tools.

This misses the point and it's why talking about cars is so annoying if you're a person who doesn't give a shit about cars. How often do you tow your utility trailer? If you do it every day because you need it for work, then

Are there any cities where you don't need to be very wealthy to live there? The four you mentioned do not strike me as the kind of places you can live in without significant resources (I'm an Australian; I've been to all thos

Would love something like this that allows users to trivially turn sites like Facebook/Twitter into RSS feeds. I'm sure this kinda thing is a useful stepping stone to doing that.

This is absolutely true, but it does have to be weighed against the performance benefits of something that doesn't require invoking an LLM to operate. If the cost of updating some xPath things every now and then is relatively low - whi

I guess it's better to have nerds fighting about licensing filling up the Internet instead of people talking about why there's a 25% decline in the share price :)

Fit-tested respirators - not masks - do not allow unfiltered air in, which helps prevents the virus from entering your system at all. People need to differentiate between the generic term "mask" and "respirator".

Huh? If you're a startup you still have to absorb regulatory costs somehow. If they're not getting passed on to the customer, they are getting picked up by the VCs. This is pretty normal.
