Ask HN: Resources for learning Wordpress for people with technical backgrounds
I've recently begun to tinker around with Wordpress. I have a strong technical background but when looking in to the documentation it seems to fall mostly in the camp of installation support and then support for "I've never made a website before" users, with a ton of content for the later. Wondering if folks here have recommendations for resources that assume a strong technical foundation in order to gain a better overall understanding of WP as a platform.
> It’ll be very interesting to see if the symbolic programming model is as flexible as Wolfram claims and can truly take advantage of all of this data.

Wolfram could have implemented his large standard library also for any other ecosystem. The magic of this library (which goes along with Wolfram's Lisp dialect but is considered as a unit) is that it is extremely high level, allowing rapid application development. But as with most libraries, it could have been developed for any language/idiom, such as a traditional object oriented python.
other than Microsofts signed software, the fact it is signed doesn't really mean much to me as I have no idea what anything should be signed with. What I tend to trust is that I know specifically where I went to get a piece of software. It is easier for me to tell what an official site is rather than an official signature

On Linux, not all of it, in my experience. If you have a lot of memory, some of it may be completely free.
That's not what GP meant, the analogous situation is loading GBs of data into a database, resulting in a GBs sized file on disk. If you truncate the data, it's gone, but the database won't actually shrink the file on disk unless you vacuum too. Chrome might not be using all the memory it has claimed, but it's not necessarily releasing all that it can back to the system either.
Yeah, that gets specified "outside the language" in the compiler arguments for link path and include path.

For any competitive position, you will have candidates with little to nothing separating them. Interviews are not standardized tests where there are easily measurable quantitative differences.

Would you "hate to work" at a place if you found out you were hired because they thought "you were a good culture fit", rather than your actual abilities?
It doesn't really sound like the journalism at least as it existed back in the 80s and 90s when I was a journalist.
I think this misses the point of the analogy. Airbnb and netflix are both new competitors to hotels and blockbuster respectively, which are (or were) the entrenched players. Whether hotels are better or worse than apartment rentals doesn't matter. The point is that generally, companies don't want to share data with or help out their competition.
The "very clear language" you speak of actually created gaps in the law which ostensibly still abided by the letter. For instance, the SEP article on affirmative action[0] notes that employers, faced with the new act, would remove the pipeline which funneled black people into maintenance jobs but add a requirement such that anyone over a certain number of years at the company would not be allowed to transfer to another department. While seeming fair in according to 'race, color, religion, sex or national origin' its intent and effect was to trap the older black workers (who were of course all hired into maintenance divisions) in their current job and stop them from moving up.

>Thus, preferential affirmative action in the workplace served the same rationale as the non-preferential sort. Its purpose was not to compensate for past wrongs, offset unfair advantage, appropriately reward the deserving, or yield a variety of social goods; its purpose was to change institutions so they could comply with the nondiscrimination mandate of the Civil Rights Act.

In fact, some philosophers have argued that merely receiving the fruits produced by injustice is enough to make one personally liable to compensate a victim for the injustice.

Seeing the announcement about WinFile + Calc got me wondering about MS/Windows File Explorer.

Would you mind expanding on what you don't think MS could open source the File Explorer?
I will not name the company, but a book deal I was working on fell through because I refused to install MS Office (since I didn't have a Mac and I refused to install Windows), they refused to accept markdown or LaTeX, and I couldn't get their template working in LibreOffice.

The part I find funny was that the book was about doing network server development with Haskell...on Linux.

Gimme five and I'll answer two. There's quite a few pairwise permutations and some are easier to understand and more instructive than others.

Fundamentally, they are both connected via the idea of convex optimization. Automatic differentiation is a computational technique to solve optimization problems.

Yes optimization problems is very general however calculus is a fundamental tool. Dual numbers are somewhat like lie groups, very smooth and conducive to optimization.

If you're trying to find a comfortable and quiet bed after 2 flights and a train, airbnb, even with "book it now" is a nightmare waiting/organizing game, direct booking in foreign languages with different tax/fee structures can be really confusing.

1. Kids also learn through play and downtime and simply going with the adult to do things.

2. Too much schooling is detrimental to learning.

3. Most parents aren't trained in teaching. If we expect a parent to teach a child formal stuff, perhaps we should train the parents on how to do these things.
Is that really true? Last I heard POWER, a RISC, held the single-threaded speed record and various RISCs had been trading for the single-socket throughput. But of course POWER is very expensive and power hungry so most people at the high end use x86.

> I also remember they had 2x optic fiber networks, one underground and one from the telephone/uitility poles.

This is still an unresolved nightmare even today with some fiber hanging on telephone poles and some being dug underground. In the capital city, the underground fiber is handled by one company (Netcity) and there's been a lot of controversy around it because of discriminatory pricing.
The spirit of the Civil Rights movement was to address lingering injustices that particularly affected the descendants of victims of the Atlantic slave trade. For a couple of decades, the spirit and intent of the law were coalescing, via affirmative action and other bias-busting policy.

I think that someone along your thought process could make a strong case that the spirit of the Civil Rights movement has changed, that the intent should change with it, that an attempt was made (a somewhat successful attempt actually) to raise the social standing of the descendants of the victims of the Atlantic slave to a place that reflects their contributions to our nation, that now other groups have been left behind and need some attention. You could make this case, and I think you’d find a lot of agreement. But, and I say this as respectfully as possible, don’t be so obtuse to why the Civil Rights movement happened to think that it’s interesting how language changes.
His ire seems directed toward lazy thinking

If nothing else, I feel like this is the biggest flaw in the author's argument. It boils down to "smart is good, dumb is bad", which comes off as "yet another tone-deaf academic", regardless of which side of the aisle the author sits on.

> It's the Democratic party which opposes school vouchers and funding increased choice in education for disadvantaged neighborhoods.

I would recommend taking a slightly broader view of the politics involved, and reading more from education policy experts.

Charter schools are being pushed predominantly by folks with an agenda to (a) break the power of teachers’ unions (and organized labor more generally), so that they can reduce teacher pay, benefits, social respect, and job security, (b) reduce overall education spending as a means to cut taxes on the wealthy, (c) give resources to schools which are less publicly accountable and can more easily kick out struggling or problematic students, spend money on dubious corporate programs, etc., (d) personally profit off the partial privatization of the education industry and outsourcing of education functions , (e) for some wealthy people, use donations to charter schools as a massive tax dodge which also brings them positive publicity.

Many Democrats have bought in fully to the school choice / charter school message, such as e.g. the Obama Administration education department, which was run by people (like Arne Duncan) with no teaching experience and little education or policy credibility among experts. Of course the lack of qualification, corruption, and bad faith of Betsy DeVos puts all of the Obama people to shame.

It has been a massive bi-partisan swindle decades in the making, and the results are bad so far and only getting worse, especially for most poor children in disadvantaged neighborhoods. Teachers are justifiably extremely angry, but have remarkably little influence considering their expertise and position. (Though recent successful teacher strikes around the country have showed that they still can have some effect if they are willing to fight hard.)
One of the author's points is that it's a fallacy to believe people can be explained / lead purely by rational thinking or facts. Emotions play a huge part in human life and realities like this will always need to be taken into consideration when deciding on policy.

I agree, proper research needs to be done and unbiased facts need to be found, but thinking once you have this you will get everybody on board with your new idea because it's "scientific" is unrealistic.

If Strapi started a hosted option, they would very much compete with your product. If your company goes under, customers have a lot fewer escape hatches than they do with open-source solutions.
The mail analogy is that some items have special requirements for handling and routing. I won't route Hazmat through post offices that can't handle it just as I won't route high security network traffic through China. Shipping perishable goods requires that those goes be given prioritization so that the arrive before spoiling. Real time voice data requires a minimum time delay. Is it OK to prioritize voice packets over other data to ensure quality?

Another question you might ask. Is it OK to prioritize data that is destined for the 911 network over data that is heading to Pornhub? What about a university? What about Khan Academy? What do you do with encrypted data where you can't tell the type or destination? What if the encrypted data is malformed such that it is causing detrimental performance to the broader network?

Management of a modern network like the internet is an amazing challenge that requires all kinds of work to find optimal solutions. We need real technically nuanced discussion and consideration to craft legislation that actually solves problems and doesn't create significant new ones. We don't need badly flawed analogies designed to garner public support that only apply if you don't know about the topic.
Personally, I actually liked the ideas, but everything else was a complete disaster.

The book is written in a very simple, juvenile style, at the linguistic level of a YA novel. There's zero depth to any characters. By modern standards, it's all "tell", no "show". I've read several reviews that suggest this is actually how most modern Chinese novels are written. That doesn't make it more readable, unfortunately.

The style seemed rather unintentionally surreal. My sense after reading was that I had just been reading Vonnegut's "The Sirens of Titan" but without any of the humour. Many of Vonnegut's books are breezy, somewhat outrageous fables that don't go very deep into their characters, of course, but they work because they're funny, colourful, inventive, well written, and are full of great ideas. I think Lui Cixin's book would have worked much better as a Vonnegut-style satire.

If you want a similarly dark look at the future of humanity's role in the universe, take a look at Peter Watts' Blindsight [1]. While it certainly won't win any prizes for literature, and it has some odd quirks, it's considerably better written, and might especially appeal to fans of Neal Stephenson's loose, ragged style of writing. Moreover, it's probably the creepiest sci-fi novel I've read. On the surface it's a somewhat straightforward story about a team of transhuman specialists who are dispatched to investigate an apparently alien artifact. But it goes deep into some fairly cynical ideaas about human consciousness that are somewhat existentially unnerving.

I don't think they're desperate per se yet (note: not willing in thread to haggle over the definition of desperate; they have at minimum $2 billion cash on hand at the moment).

There's a lot of nuance involved here. Moving some behavior outside the current tick may speed certain things up. Keeping multiple React updates in the same tick may _also_ speed other things up. It depends on what work is being done in these additional callbacks, and where/when they're being executed.

In this specific case: `this.props.onChange()` calls the parent component's `setState()`. That should ideally be kept in the same tick as `this.setState()`, so they can be batched.

`sendAnalyticsPing()` does _not_ cause a React update. That should indeed be moved out to a separate tick, so that it doesn't slow down this update.
You're either shifting the goalposts or are misunderstanding what's being said. No one at all said that Gwynne is "a singular person" who is doing all the work. Instead Gwynne was being used as a counter example to show that Elon isn't the only one working at the company or doing all the organization.

The only issue being discussed was the original assertion that "he's the one coordinating it all", and pointing to a person doing coordinating seems like a great way to prove that wrong.
It makes sense that it doesn't list joined words like bleary-eyed when its definition is obvious from the constituents bleary and eye, or inflected words because inflections like -ish and -ly each have the same meaning when modifying other words. But what about phrasal and prepositional verbs such as put off, put up, and put up with, where their meaning can't usually be deduced from the constituents such as put, off, up, and with ?

People who want cheap workers.

Employers want good workers, at any price. Employers want socialized and dependable workers, and many schools don't manage to support this.

People who want to make sure that they don't have a voice.

I have no idea who that might be, unless it's people who de-platform, namecall, and denigrate people for "wrongthink," even if it's not anything bad and just asking questions and thinking differently. If people are to have a voice, they need to be free to "fire" their representatives. It doesn't seem like the media and the political machines of the cities actually want that.

People who don't want to pay taxes.

People who are concerned that government is too big would rather such neighborhoods didn't exist. The incentive structure of aid would seem to propagate the very conditions it's supposed to help.

> Who benefits from encouraging large populations to refuse to assimilate into their host society?

People who want to make sure racists vote.

> I trust a developer who drops some $$$ on a code-signing certificate more than I trust a developer who doesn't.

This is a misapplication of Bayes theorem.

P(bad) is the probability any app is bad
P(signed) is the probability any app is signed

P(bad if signed) = P(signed if bad) * P(bad) / P(signed)

Essentially your trust model requires that "the fraction of bad apps that are signed is small", or P(signed if bad) approaches 0. But signed malware is available - famously stuxnet, but others before and since: http://users.umiacs.umd.edu/~tdumitra/papers/CCS-2017.pdf

Malware authors have incentive to make their apps appear legitimate, either by stealing keys, impersonating companies, or other mechanisms. Signing also helps get past automated checks (per the paper above).

Further, those probabilities assume random distribution, but I'd suggest that really expensive/dangerous malware has greater incentives to appear safe, so it is even more likely to be signed, even if most malware is not. Stuxnet would be a case in point - high value, sophisticated malware, signed.

P(really bad if signed) = P(signed if really bad) * P(really bad) / P(signed)

P(really bad) is lower,
but P(signed if really bad) approaches 1,
so P(really bad if signed) approaches P(really bad)

Meaning the worse the malware, the less the signature tells you.
>where students develop emotional intelligence, learning agility (the ability to learn new tasks), and leadership skills

Based on my experiences, this makes me laugh... I definitely feel that most colleges fail at this or at least achieve magnitudes lower than what we should want them to do for our students. And I don't see how skilled laboured positions don't or can't teach these skills as well.

The line of work is so broad for an electrician, if there are massive disruptions in the industry, the ones who are able to/have a desire to adapt will adapt. I don't believe just simply because you have a degree you will fair better from changes than someone who has same years of experience in skilled labour.

I agree with you that we live in a social system in America that makes it very difficult to go back to school if you are pretty set in life. I think similar problems also applies to getting a masters degree later in life as well.

-Thank you for the discussion.

In terms of scale, in 2017, the port of Oakland handled 2,388,000 TEUs (a TEU being a 20 foot equivalent unit, essentially, a shipping container). During that same year, the port of Shanghai, the busiest port in the world, handled 40,233,000 TEUs. Rotterdam, the busiest western European port, handled 13,734,000 TEUs.
Reading from RAM is certainly faster than disk, but reading less is faster than reading either from RAM or from disk.

Chrome is a big application that tries to be everything for all people. If Desktop performance mattered to companies, folks would strip out the browser and use native components.

I think there's a simpler solution, with one loop and no recursion, in O(n) time and O(1) space.

static Node treeToCycle(Node root) {
Node pseudoRoot = new Node();
pseudoRoot.left = null;
pseudoRoot.right = root;
Node tail = pseudoRoot;
Node rest = root;
while (rest != null) {
if (rest.left == null) {
rest.left = tail;
tail = rest;
rest = rest.right;
} else {
Node temp = rest.left;
rest.left = temp.right;
temp.right = rest;
rest = temp;
tail.right = temp;
}
}
Node head = pseudoRoot.right;
head.left = tail;
tail.right = head;
return head;
}
I would catagorized it as a rhetorical question instead of a leading question, but yes.

My point is that, across all domains of significant public inteterest, a simmilar pattern arises. The actual beliefs of the less informed members of the public actually mirror what experts would view as a strawman of those beliefs. Doubly so on political topics where even proponents of the idea spread a sumplified version. Maybe this issue is somehow special, and everyone who thinks they understand it actually do. Or maybe the author, who actually studied what people think, is correct and therr is a significant population that actually buys into the strawman.
