Nothing else than the name to go by really.

Domains that include "assets", "cdn", "static" and similar will probably be needed, at least if you want scripts to run and css to be included.

Anything with "ad" in the name you should probably not enable.

Other than that, basically trial and error. After a while it'll hopefully be easier to tell, but it will still be somewhat tedious each time you encounter a new site.
Because many people have poor impulse control and it's not nearly as easy as you present. If it were, many fewer people would have issues with obesity. It's not as if those people don't know why they are overweight.

I have no doubt that they are serious and ambitious, but they are so far behind Tesla that it‘s not likely that they will catch up until 2020. Also, they are planning to place their fast chargers only 120 Km apart to accommodate for a wider range of vehicles, which puts them at a disadvantage too.
I disagree. I find these types of cutesy “culture” things very infantilizing and belittling. I don’t do my job for a fruit basket. If I have a blind spot in testing or bug finding because of my perspective as a developer, then my goal is to improve that skill for myself, because I am a professional and it matters for delivering a product to customers or stakeholders.

If anything, events like this just make me question management and think, “these people have no idea what they’re doing... they want to satisfy some ego drive to be praised as inventive leaders by making shit up instead of just choosing the boring, well-known kinds of solutions.”
Just guessing here but I think it’s due to the financial troubles SoundCloud had in summer 2017. They had to lay off half of their staff and closed some offices in SF & London. Wouldn’t be too far fetched to assume they scrapped their API to save some money.
As a typical Brit who mostly just speaks English, and have over 50 countries on 6 continents under my belt, I've never been to a country that had Spanish as an official language.

In a given year the languages that would help me are Russian, Mandarin, and Arabic. French in some parts of Africa (and France/Belgium of course).

In places like India and Kenya, I follow conversations with the locals as they generally speak English, but then they throw in borrowed phrases (Hindi, Swahili, etc).
Readings on the state of the art in rendering
Agree -- there are too many dissonant pieces to this story. I guess it could be true, it just doesn't make a lot of sense.
This has been known for some time...
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 cottage industry already fulfills the needs of those the subset of users that need more than what the tinymce implementation WordPress offers out of the box.

It's better to understand Gutenberg not as a problem solving project but as a reaction to two things that the project leader has trained his focus on.

First, there's this premise that everything is moving to javascript and php is legacy, so WordPress should evolve to run on javascript while casting aside PHP somehow. Fail that and the project could go under is an anxiety that exists.

Second, there's the itch for WordPress.com to compete on more level terms with the state of hosted solutions like WIX, Weebly, Squarespace who offer increasingly simple visual building experiences. This is where wp.com wants to compete and win new users choosing between other hosted providers. Mullenweg wants to have WP be an even bigger monopoly. These are two anxieties driving Gutenberg.

Gutenberg channels energy toward accomplishing a conversion from a PHP-centric project to a Javascript one, while making a play for new users who are choosing between the hosted version of WP and other hosted solutions.

On a technical level, Gutenberg doesn't really convincingly solve technical problems. It makes it easier for developers to tack on GUI driven content elements, which was possible before, but something that many developers didn't get right or didn't know how to do.

It doesn't provide a better WYSIWYG experience. The editor screen and the front-end are going to look and feel very different. The biggest new obstacle to arriving at a better WYSIWYG is the fact that in Gutenberg the interface markup is a first class citizen, with the content merely existing deeply nested inside its components in editing mode.

While editing, every paragraph, every image, every element is surrounded by endless amounts of divs and scaffolding. When designing a document's CSS you style according to the markup that is shown to users, now with Gutenberg you have to take into account the fact that while editing elements are nested deep inside a convoluted set of divs. So we're still storing messy blobs, but now we're going to split up those blobs and add more mess while in editing mode.
Technically dynamic favicons can be implemented using data: URLs, although obviously that requires JavaScript.

I use a custon hodgepodge of SVG, XMLSerializer, image elements, and canvas to do a lo-fi animation for a badge in the favicon. Works for desktop browsers (including IE11, although I haven't tested Safari. B2B web app so covers what we need). A few gotchas, but wasn't too hard.

>Its not necessarily unhealthy to keep some debt around, especially through the 2013 through 2017 timeframe when interest rates were abnormally low.

The Tesla bonds in question have a coupon of 5.3% and were sold into one of the lowest interest rate environments in history. They currently have an 8.5% yield. Rolling debt over on those terms is not fun.
You're in a maze of twisty passages. If someone can tell you 'turning left is just a wall' then you can focus on the other routes.
Measuring the utility of a language by number of countries in which it is spoken, or number of speakers worldwide is pretty meaningless. It's not dissimilar to the argument that children in SE England should all learn French because most of the ferries go to Calais and Boulogne - planes go everywhere.

The utility of a language is a personal thing. CydeWeys makes professional visits to Spanish speaking countries at a rate of 2x per year. That alone makes Spanish more useful than French or Arabic.

If you visit Riga with that kind of frequency, then Latvian is a far more useful language than Spanish, French or Arabic.

> I find these types of cutesy “culture” things very infantilizing and belittling. I don’t do my job for a fruit basket.

This always just feels like negative-sum macho posturing to me. I'm a serious programmer and good at my job, but of course I'd rather have a fruit basket than not have a fruit basket.
As another poster said, it's all about the dosage. Anything can be a poison. Even water - there have been several cases of people dying from drinking too much water, some side effect of taking ecstacy - they felt thirsty however much they were drinking.

Vitamin A is a classic: Too little, and you get blind and your feet start bleeding when you walk. Too much, and you get blind and your feet start bleeding when you walk.
What a bunch of clickbait nonsense.

> After a few weeks, we had slashed bug fixing time, which increased productivity by 25%. The fruit baskets at work played a key role in this productivity increase!

> In the end, it increased productivity by 25%

Or, you know, maybe it was everything else you were doing differently? Such as http://philippe.bourgau.net/how-we-used-the-improvement-kata... (which he even links to in the original post).

I'm not saying that having a fruit basket can't necessarily make people happier and therefore more productive. But these claims are just ridiculous and almost impossible to measure properly.
I would probably go for the new replacement screen.

Anecdote: I was able to find one of the last trustworthy MBP Retina (Mid 2015) for $1996. I had the late 2013 (no intention to change it) but the extra RAM is a nice upgrade and at the same time the old model could go to my mom. She loves it, and I'm super happy with mine.

>If I have a blind spot in testing or bug finding because of my perspective as a developer, then my goal is to improve that skill for myself, because I am a professional and it matters for delivering a product to customers or stakeholders.

I don't know you, but most developers aren't robots, so little psychological tricks can help boost productivity. Of course you work for money, the money you already agreed in your salary negotiation. But this is not really that much about monetary incentives and more about creating a little playful competition that improves the product.

I'd say people take a job for the salary, but a good salary in a bad team atmosphere won't lead to productivity.

Nobody is forcing anyone to participate, I also hate forced company culture. But if it works, enough people must be willingly doing more work to best their colleagues.
Imagine if null-results would be retroactively registerd. It would be horrifying, seeing all those students doing the same work over and over again, not publishing it.
> Looking at the official languages of countries, French

Countries with french as an official language only have a total population of 434 million people. And a few of them, like canada, has english as an official language as well. Also, most of the francophile countries are small former african colonies which may one day give up french as an official language and move to english or a native language.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_territorial_entities_w...

French language's geographical and population reach is smaller than china's. The same applies for arabic and spanish.

> and Chinese (Mandarin) indeed largely useless outside greater China.

Which is true, but greater china accounts for a significant amount of land and people.

French, Arabic and Spanish account for 1.3 billion people. China alone has 1.4 billion people.

But this is a moot point since the french, arabs, spaniards and chinese are all desperate to learn english since english ( for the time being ) is the language of culture, science and business. I don't see chinese, french, arabic or spanish unseating english as the world's language.

I have tried that. Every other time I tried to book a flight, hotel or buy something I enter my credit card info and got a blank page or an endless spinner. Now I don't know if I have been charged and whether the purchase has gone through. I do not have time to deal with that. Also I ended up white-listing so much garbage just to do basic browsing that it defeated to whole purpose.
I'd love to see the pyramids when they were first built. They are still very impressive 4000 years later, but to see them when just completed, with the golden top and the polished limestone and all the other decoration that probably existed then...

The massive structures still remain, but they must be ruins compared to their past splendor.
Partially correcting myself here:

The Nordic countries all have certain restrictions on striking for some groups of public servants. The groups vary and the restrictions do, too.
If I read my book correctly, Sweden forbids key officials (those who have certain positions of authority) from participating in solidarity strikes (strikes in support of others), unless those others are also public servants.

https://books.google.se/books?id=IYx2GZdMA7AC&pg=PA37&lpg=PA...

The purpose of the law is to prevent certain tempting corrupt practices.

As far as I know, this law has never been used, but I feel like it is sensible.

Note: 99% of the time, like all Swedish workers, those officials have a binding collective bargaining agreement, so are forbidden from striking anyway. (I e if they go on strike, they may be legally fired.)

> “I don't know you, but most developers aren't robots”

Huh? So wanting to get better at side skills in my job makes me a robot?

Most developers I’ve worked with, apart from some exceptions (usually due to youthful inexperience or immaturity) definitely do proactively take it as their responsibility to improve job skills holistically.

Any manager who thinks they need to use psychological tricks to get more from subordinates (or worse, believes they are clever for doing so) is somebody to run right on away from.
Without a doubt, have you not seen the progress humanity has 'selfishly' experienced.

So now click-baits, sensational content have expanded to developers blog. That’s just great. They seem like they did some good work analysing how they spend their time and what their goals should be. What’s the need for the nonsense?
Not at all, especially because the status signalling effects are very real. If I accept the fruit basket from a manager with a shit-eating grin and act like a cheerleader about it, it’s a big net loss for me. I’m agreeing to a status system that devalues my work ethic and rewards managers for cheap tricks instead of true skill building or cultivating motivation. It positions me like a child in need of a parent to give me a gold star for doing my basic responsibilities.

This way of management to cultivate “downward looking perspectives” that intentionally belittle or undermine subordinates is a very real and pervasive thing.

A large part of the sociology book Moral Mazes is dedicated to the taxonomy and descriptive analysis of exactly this kind of corporate behavior.

I recently switched to an XPS 15 9570 from my Macbook Air. I'm giving windows a shot for my secondary dev machine (python, docker, php, etc...), while being fully aware of the persistent Windows 10 issues. So far, the hardest part was adjusting my keyboard workflow from Mac to Windows.

For the time being, I'm extremely happy with the hardware and satisfied with Windows. I'll give dual boot a shot in my spare time.
There was an interesting thread on Reddit [1] the other day which did a breakdown of the state of gaming in terms of native games and games that can be run easily via Steam Play (aka 'Proton', Valve's in-built WINE+DXVK layer). The results were quite interesting and, as one of the replies pointed out in another breakdown, Linux now competes with (and in some ways beats) gaming on macOS in terms of size of catalogue.

Granted there is a ways to go to beat Windows in this space, but the progress over the last 6 years generally and the last 6 months specifically is astounding.
