How to Use Data Management Platform (DMP) the Right Way
This is overly simplistic. Our bodies process sugars in vastly different ways. Fructose for example was historically rare for us to have and is metabolized in basically unlimited quantity as fast as possible by the liver and transferred to fat reserves.

So yes, quantity matters but you will have incredible difficulty not putting on weight from high fructose foodstuffs because your body will tell you "eat more food" to feed your muscles well before it decides to give up any fat reserves.

Would you yourself consider lifetime seclusion? Why, you cause harm to billions of living creatures every time you venture outside. (Although sitting in solitary jail cell only reduces that by a negligible factor). And that's only taking into account direct harm, third or fourth-order consequences of being out there are impossible to even start comprehending.

If not, why you think it's okay to condemn another living creature to such a life sentence? After all, its well-being is just as important as yours, is it not so?

I guess it depends on the country and insurer. I insured my moped by myself at the age of 16. Paid €150 per year which was a lot of money for me. When I bought my first car at the age of 22 I only had to pay €300 per year for liability because my no-claims bonus was almost at the maximum amount.

You're very right, and I don't like the way the OP framed the argument. The problem is 1) even though we're capable, as you note, we're terrible at utilizing it, and 2) we're so much more powerful than any other species, so when we do lack restraint, we cause much more damage.

As a developer I'm not too happy about the trend I've seen in the past couple years of 'monolithic' WordPress themes with tons of JS and other code, because making even simple changes to them can get extremely complicated. I think they caught on for two reasons (1) they often have interactive 'builders' that come with widgets you can drag and drop (contact forms, slideshows, etc.) and (2) The whole design trend of things that change as you scroll--'parallax' elements and dynamically-resizing headers, etc.

This is great, for those of us putting document structure first in the name of accessibility I think this going green idea is a natural fit to 'why bother'. Previously my goal had been to score highly on the metrics of Lighthouse and get increased conversion rate, particularly when the reader has 'lie-fi' or feeble 2/3G connection. I genuinely had not thought that going green was also a good reason for the things I have been trying to do. Accessibility is something that is hard to explain to people, they think it means high contrast and MASSIVE fonts. But it is not that and those that do such things have given a bad name to the cause. Going green is a much easier starting point for that conversation.

I think that there is far more that can be shaved off. The SVG logo can be placed in the CSS as a data url so it only gets downloaded just the once. Currently it is in the file and weighs in at 1.19Kb. If this is drawn with more elegant SVG rather than what Inkscape churns out then it could be easier to edit and a lot smaller. There is no need to use three decimal places for the points and since there are no fonts in the SVG there is no need to bloat it out with any styles.

As well as serving via NGINX there is also mod_pagespeed to remove whitespace, comments and create src_sets for any blog images. In this way a client project based on this theme need not lose all gains as soon as an image is uploaded.

I also think the classless methodology has to be considered as the way to go with a pure document and all decorative chintz done in CSS with pseudo elements and more advanced selectors.

CSS Grid also reduces CSS size significantly and would help here. Block based layouts are fine for people that have been hacking away with margins and floats and padding things since IE6 but are absurd for newcomers to learn. CSS Grid is more maintainable as well as lighter on the download.

Not so sure about the menu being a separate page, a web page should be part of a 'book' and navigation with proper HTML5 markup for it is important for accessibility.

The motivation for this is superb and it is a lot more easy to explain to clients than accessibility. Page speed and conversion rate can be hard enough to get buy in with as it is, going green might be an easier sell.
I can’t help but wonder what it is about tech people that makes them so eager to expend their precious mental cycles reinventing the CRM wheel. Anything custom you could ever want to do in a CRM can be done on Salesforce’s platform with a fraction of the effort.

Facebook, Amazon, and Google all use it to power various aspects of their back end, and yet start up culture folks continue to turn their nose up at it, while begrudgingly paying for their sales team’s licenses.

What’s up with that? Why does this community seem to hate the company that built a great product that everybody needs and established SaaS as a thing?
That's a bug not a design flaw. You could fix that with a tiny bit more JS checking history entries for repetition.

> Yes, but all that proves is that some subset of humanity is capable of doing it. Not humanity as a whole.

What's the point of this argument? Yes, humanity as a whole has become very specialised. With the consensus of the community and enough will power a subset of humanity can achieve almost anything we can conceive. Is this any different than toting dolphin pods that pass on their hunting tricks? Or captive gorillas that can communicate? Potential is not limited to the lowest common denominator.

From Ethereum to Enigma: Understanding Privacy Protocols in the Blockchain
First: It's difficult to advice on these matters in cyberspace. But as I have been in similar situations, I can give you some general advice:
First, break things up in smaller phases or sprints, setting some milestones based on sensible estimates. Get the team to commit to these estimates and the timeline.
Second, ask the customer/PO to prioritize features (as others have pointed out) in Need to have, nice to have etc.
Third, make the customer/PO prioritze what is most important in the project triangle: Time, scope, quality or price.
If you make a simple plan (eg. a burn down graph), you can follow the progress and adjust the plan if necessary.
You might consider doing a simple risk analysis as well.
Good luck.

> we are the only ones on the planet who can't live in harmony with other species.

Oh boy, this is a very naive and emotionally involved perception of things. A tendency to restore ecological equilibria is not the same as harmony. There is no trend for stability or perfection, that's only an illusion based on the short lifespan of humans. That's not what science and archaeology tells us.

For most species there is no resting in appreciation of creation, no moment of weakness, no mercy. Most everything wants you dead. Wants your air, your food, your space, your niche. You fall, you stumble and there is already mold growing between your toes. In the eyes of a human there might be a fiction, a notion of meaning and beauty. For everything else there is just thermodynamics.
I was really upset at this comment at first. After thinking about it some more I like that it questions fundamental assumptions about the original question namely,

“What happens if the deadline slips?”

If the project is late, does the company go out of business? Do people get fired? Is the overall deliverable unusable within the org? Is the deal lost?

If the answer to these is a big “no” then totally agreed with OP to not sound an alarm.

However configuring a skilled team and leading it to do excellent work and constantly improve should be something most people strive for.

This advice is spot on. I would add one thing: make sure you don't surprise your manager. Talk to her. You and she should be on the same page about your project's progress.

It's her responsibility to help the rest of your business do the best they can with reality. If sales of your existing product have dried up because prospects are waiting for the modernized one, that's a big problem (been there). But it's a problem belonging to product and sales management, not you. Unless you are a founder.

Renovating software is hard, much harder than greenfield software. All the best to you.
Break things up into milestones (preferably deliverables). Put team-agreed-upon date estimates. Provide regular updates to higher-ups on the status (maybe every week or two). Try green, yellow, red as classifiers on each milestone. Identify potential issues and/or blockers. Communicate those and what your team is doing to mitigate them. Document what does get achieved, and communicate that too. Come up with contingencies and compromises, such as "if we remove freature x, we could shave off 5 days, or if we have extra help testing features a, b, and c, we might be able to push up milestone y.

At least, at my org, these are all considered appropriate.

I legitimately believe it is wholly possible semi-advanced civilizations have come and gone from Earth and we've yet to find trace of them.

Without modern medicine an infectious disease could cripple a civilization to the point of becoming barbaric again, look at the Great Plague... 30-60% reduction in European populations in FOUR years, now imagine something similar happening in a moist tropical environment. Or even look at the Corrupted Blood Incident https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corrupted_Blood_incident which shows (in a game though) how quickly infection could spread if you have a means of rapid travel. A civilization that lacked motorization but was an advanced sea-fairing society, again in a tropical region, could spread a disease at frightening pace.

When we find evidence like this it just reinforces my opinion that past civilizations were incredibly possible, even at a level advancement of up to the 16th or 17th century.

Look at the Islamic Golden Age, they were basically scienctists and explorers that worked on collecting all the world's knowledge and even churning out their own discoveries in philosophy, mathematics, natural sciences, medicine, engineering, then BAM! They went from this incredibly knowledgeable society to simple shepherds and the like within a century in places. Imagine if you tossed in a highly contagious outbreak in there...

I might need to go back and read both "Dune" and the Amber series. I enjoyed them; but, I've never thought about rereading them at all.

7kb specifically is not of major importance. If you're loading all content from one origin, fitting the content needed to load the page into the initial TCP congestion window does matter. 7kb of content will probably fit depending on how much non-content is in the packets.
