Because headless CMSs aren't my core business. Because WordPress allows me to focus on what's relevant to me and my business.

Could I run my business website on a headless CMS and a build pipeline? Absolutely.

Why should I though? WordPress allows me to manage my content without having to deal with the technical details of doing so.

A headless CMS provides zero benefit to me while at the same time incurring additional infrastructure management and administration costs.

With WordPress there's a huge amount of plugins for every imaginable use case. For most headless CMSs that's probably not the case. So, I might run into a dead end later on should I realise that I need an additional feature the CMS I opted for doesn't support.

In terms of WordPress security issues, most of those are caused by dodgy plugins. Doing some research before installing a new plugin and selecting plugins carefully will get you a long way.

Additionally, there are services such as WordFence that alleviate many potential security issues.
> This is how a lot of teaching works- the teachers often have knowledge marginally above the level of the class they’re teaching, and are teaching out a book/syllabus with no flexibility

In high school, our computing textbook contained blatant errors. I tried to explain this to the teachers, but soon realised they didn't know anything about the subject at all, they were just repeating the textbook without understanding it.

(Example: our textbook falsely claimed TCP/IP used parity bits as an error detection mechanism. No, it uses ones' complement checksums. I referred to RFCs 791 and 793. The teacher had no idea what an RFC was.)
But this is not "youtube and patreon", but "employer buzzfeed does not pay their employees enough".
> Having to stay home for a year is nothing — absolutely nothing — compared with what children had to deal with during previous social upheavals (world wars, and the like).

Suicide rates actually dropped during the world wars. People are able to handle war much better than social isolation.
> The problem really is that there's not enough revenue generated, to pay people producing the content.

> Even youtube is run at a loss (only offset by the valuable data they collect for google i suppose).

YouTube generates $15B in revenue. [1] I'm sure in the early years when they first acquired YouTube, they ran it at a loss. However, as far as I am aware, Google has never stated whether or not YouTube is profitable. Given the amount of revenue YouTube generates in the present day, I would say it's unlikely they are running YouTube at a loss.

OP, if you’re using too many adverbs, you’re going the wrong way. The more words ending in -ly I see, higher the chances I’ll just leave the docs right there to find a YouTube tutorial by an Indian dude
People part of the GNU movement say "we owe a debt of gratitude to Richard Stallman for his decades of important work in the free software movement". Andy Wingo said "he created GNU, speaking it into existence via prophetic narrative and via code; yes, he inspired many people, myself included, to make the vision of a GNU system into a reality; and yes, he should be recognized for these things."

They also say: "Yet, we must also acknowledge that Stallman’s behavior over the years has undermined a core value of the GNU project: the empowerment of all computer users."

Andy also wrote: "I can hear you saying it. RMS started GNU so RMS decides what it is and what it can be. GNU has long outgrown any individual contributor. I don't think RMS has the legitimacy to tell this group of largely volunteers what we should build or how we should organize ourselves. Or rather, he can say what he thinks, but he has no dominion over GNU; he does not have majority sweat equity in the project. But I don't accept that. GNU is about practical software freedom, not about RMS. [...] I simply state that I, personally, do not serve RMS."

Your comment is the one attributing to others malicious intent:

"Unfortunately, there are activists within the GNU movement, like Andy Wingo, that have done everything they can to have RMS removed from everything he has built."

I don't know why, maybe when you get older (as I do), you start being afraid of being put out of work by younger people (I don't), or maybe you are yourself neurodivergent and weird with people (I do). It is logical, then, to feel empathy for rms. But, factually, rms is not being confronted for his "quircks" or his age.

The way public figures behave, publicly and in their relationship with others as part of their work, has an impact on the culture it encourages. The fact that people express discomfort, fear, etc. when they want to contribute to free software is worrying. I feel bad for them. I see nothing unfortunate here in having people confront someone in power for his behaviour.

I mean, it is 2021, do I need to quote the Peter Parker principle?

>"Combatting malign influences in the Americas: OGA used diplomatic relations in the Americas

You can't mint a copy of Collier's NFT because if you show up at Collier's concert with SpicyNFT they'll turn you away.

The arguments about SpicyNFTs is just kind of a distraction. It would be like if I argued against banks by saying, I could hang a shingle, accept deposits, and then just run with the money.

Do we really need to enumerate all the possible ways that a new, very limited, technology can be misused? We might be here a while, I'm pretty sure there are infinitely many ways that NFTs can be abused.
If they're not getting paid enough they should stop doing it. If enough of them stop doing it, then the rest will start to get paid more.
And erlang outperforms multi-threaded java single-handedly. I've made a system in java, which caps at about 6k threads, server starts to slow to a crawl. Similar system in erlang (newer version of server doing essentially the same tasks) is currently also servicing about 6k connections, but cpu utilisation is about 10%. Yeah, we could rewrite that old system to use some async library, but that's not multi threaded, just scheduled (like in erlang).
I'm guessing they are suggesting that RMS having a mattress in his office is implying (meaning not directly saying but giving someone the idea of) that he wants people to sleep with him on that mattress or implying that it has happened already.
As a southern American, I'd chalk a lot of it up to our multiculturalism. There are different parts within the US, where you'd get different answers to that question, almost always!

But I'd say suggestion and (to use the southern term) social grace is one of the most nuanced and culture-heavy forms of communication. In that it assumes a lot of shared culture between you and the other party.

As least down here, with > stranger, < intimate partner, you'd get a "No" in all cases, but the words attached to the no would also differ almost 100% of the time in the "No, but..." case.

And I imagine most of those cues completely disappear cross-culturally.
The difference is that with a human near by I feel like I am being judged and when they are not I do not feel that kind of pressure. The grocery store I've gone to my whole life has always had security cameras tracking people for reasons I assume to deal with theft. It does not effect me at all and the store has useful data that they can use. It benefits all parties.
It's almost as if the Icelandic Tourism board turned to the Ásatrúarfélagið for help bringing tourism back. 'Guðmundur, everyone's dreaming of flying towards the equator when they're allowed, not towards us in the Artic circle. What can we do?'

'WE SHALL SUMMON SURTR'!
I keep reading here comments how Wordpress "just works", and I wonder if did something wrong over the years because every single WP (.org) instance I worked on inevitable became slow, and also error ridden after some core plugin inevitably stops being maintained.
Zero UB in safe code is a core design constraint of Rust so I think it makes sense. Having integer overflow being implementation defined would sound more logical to me than the current behavior, but maybe there are arguments against it also.
When the actual harm was zero?
And perhaps more importantly when the accusations go well beyond anything evidence warrants?
Wow, people actually think that being somewhat neuro-diverse is reason enough or even an excuse for RMS behavior?

I haven't been a fan of the FSF in years (especially after meeting a few of their employees in Germany) but bringing RMS back is the definitive nail in the coffin of that organisation. I wouldn't be surprised if the few reasonable people still working for FSF leave and the org shuts down in a few years because they can't attract talent anymore and their donations dry up.
I actively choose libraries that are non-async. I don't want to use the programming model.

If aysnc could work like regular blocking code , if we want, and async code when you want, I think rust would be in a better place.

Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should.

Adyen is a dutch company FYI. And whether their post is from 2021 or 2018, this is not a helpful reply. I won't delve into why to avoid the exact flamebait dang was talking about, but suffice to say that if your comment were rude when saying it face to face to someone giving a talk, it's rude here too.
If you can't keep up on feature velocity, you're fighting a losing game.
What you say is true. But I have never gotten the impression that this stems from dishonesty. I have the feeling that a lot of the sellers simply don't know how to present their products online, and since everybody else is doing the same thing there is little reason so change.

At least that's the impression I have gotten. I'm willing to accept that others may have had really bad experiences there.

You mean marginalising?

Because minimizing harm is nothing bad as far as I am concerned.
I think it only counts as sticking one's neck out and being responsible if you deviate from the policy followed by the herd, whether it's to do something or do nothing.
About Stephen Shore

Stephen Shore's work has been widely published and exhibited for the past forty-five years. He was the first living photographer to have a one-man show at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York since Alfred Stieglitz, forty years earlier. He has also had one-man shows at George Eastman House, Rochester; Kunsthalle, Dusseldorf; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Jeu de Paume, Paris; and Art Institute of Chicago. In 2017, the Museum of Modern Art opened a major retrospective spanning Stephen Shore's entire career. He has received fellowships from the Guggenheim Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts. His series of exhibitions at Light Gallery in New York in the early 1970s sparked new interest in color photography and in the use of the view camera for documentary work.

More than 25 books have been published of Stephen Shore's photographs including Uncommon Places: The Complete Works; American Surfaces; Stephen Shore, a retrospective monograph in Phaidon's Contemporary Artists series; Stephen Shore: Survey and most recently, Transparencies: Small Camera Works 1971-1979 and Stephen Shore: Elements. In 2017, the Museum of Modern Art published Stephen Shore in conjunction with their retrospective of his photographic career. Stephen also wrote The Nature of Photographs, published by Phaidon Press, which addresses how a photograph functions visually. His work is represented by 303 Gallery, New York; and Sprüth Magers, London and Berlin. Since 1982 he has been the director of the Photography Program at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, NY, where he is the Susan Weber Professor in the Arts.
This doesn’t sound that bad. Unless I’m misunderstanding something, the ERP was used as a source of truth for DNS records, and that mechanism broke. There’s no indication of actual data loss so it should still be in the ERP DB, and it’s a matter of reverse-engineering how it was all put together and then extract the data into a zone file (or into a managed DNS service such as Route 53) at least for the core domains which should at least bring their internal services back online and allow them to proceed further.
I think your README currently is fine. Maybe adding a comparison to other graph databases could be a good idea? Also, a few examples without having to open the PDF documentation would be nice.
You can buy boxes with 30x more RAM without going super boutique. You can buy quad-socket server motherboards, so you can have 64x4 cores.

For the vast majority of businesses, vertical scaling is quite feasible.
Some of this is good but I don't understand what China on the map has to do with anything. It also isn't mentioned in the article at all...

I'm pretty sure China cares little about American political correctness wars.

It's the exact same argument I keep making about tipping - if only everyone everywhere stopped tipping overnight, this stupid system would disappear. Underpaid waiters and drivers would find other jobs because suddenly without tips they wouldn't be able to support themselves.

I am also surprised that no one has seen the wisdom of my words yet :P
Does it tho? There's definitely a difference between having sex with a 17yo when you think it's consentual without knowing someone else is forcing her in the background vs. forcing her yourself. Although I personally don't believe it, it is theoretically possible that Minsky didn't know - pointing that out, especially when very little information was available, seems at worst insensitive, but sounds mainly like a very logic-driven mind taking the presumption of innocence very seriously.

He also had a very good point about making the distinction between "sexual relations with a minor" and "sexual assault"/"rape" - again, I agree that both should be illegal and punushed harshly, but is having consentual sex with a 17yo really AS BAD as forcing yourself upon a person of any age?

As for his last point about the absurdity of the exact same thing being rape if done today, but perfectly normal if done mere days later: isn't it kinda absurd? Like, yes, there needs to be a boundary, but isn't it insane that there are only two categories: <18 is one of the worst crimes possible and >18 is perfectly legal. I don't know a better system and wouldn't even attempt to propose a better one, but surely this isn't the best we can do?

To be clear: I don't particularly like Stallman and gladly point out his sexist and generally rude remarks and behavior when people glorify him, but this all just seems like a person only looking at the logical side of the story and ending up sounding extremely insensitive. The term "neurodivergent" would usually get thrown in here, although I'm reluctant to use it since it's far too broad and I don't have any specific information about RMS.

Inappropriate and insensitive? Yes! Defending rape, as some media outlets framed it? Not even close!
> It's a good thing if people try to get informed.

Do they get informed though? It seems they mostly get articles written by journalists who don't really understand the issue either, sprinkled with a few quotes from professionals that often get taken out of context.

I don't think we're turning the population into experts. They're not able to judge the effectiveness, risk and side-effects of any measure. I'm not sure "a little bit of knowledge, some fear and a lot of opinion" is a benefit.
... didn't buzzfeed have to lay off a bunch of staff because they're losing money?
If you're distributing ad supported video content where else do you go?

Vimeo is the second biggest video sharing platform. They have 200 million eyeballs they can push to your content as opposed to 2.3 billion and no ad network.

I don't think it's an enormous stretch to say that youtube own this market.

>that’s a different discussion than having a monopoly on distributing video.

I neither stated nor implied that they did.
reading between the lines, it seems like the OP's idea is basically a form of UBI that allows creatives to engage in content creation regardless of the market-fit and commercial viability of the content.
I head a similar story, regarding people hosting some sort of CCC, on a smaller scale, but not in Germany.

Basically they were hosting the whole thing in an abandoned building that they were squatting, had somehow managed to get electric power but no internet connection.

So they started scanning for wireless networks and find this network. They manage to get access, and they start configuring some services.

Turns out, this person was not really int tech and had mostly default settings. There were some things that were not installed properly and the signal reception was not that good.

Some of these people look up the owner credendials from the bills (some internet providers used to have you login to the billing website and the internet connection using the same credentials) and go ring to the address, pretend to be the internet company and start doing maintenance.

AFAIK they installed a phone/adsl splitter so that the owner making and receiving phone calls would not drop the line for all the people leeching internet connection and also installed a stronger antenna (for free) which boosted signal for all the people leeching internet connection but also for the owner.

Needless to say, they didn't left the new antenna for the internet owner as a present, even though they probably didn't even realize a single thing (also, they closed any security issue and revoked their own access when they left).
What exactly happens if you break a three month resignation period? I don’t advocate doing this in generally but as a hypothetical exercise if this person just stopped showing up for work, what exactly could the company do?
Yeah definitely. I think the fact that degrees often have relatively strict structure also causes this. It's hard to do papers outside your domain.
I'm not at odds with their opinion but rather with their tone and delivery. I'm not a fan of podcasts at all, and I get where they are coming from, but someone's sharing an idea they're clearly very passionate about, and I'm all for giving constructive feedback (that's probably why they picked this particular forum to share their idea, after all), even if such feedback hurts, but I also expect a modicum of positivity to go along with that, and their comment doesn't clear that bar for me.
Didn't they only say that their backups are fucked, but not that they didn't try to make them? I've definitely run into situations where the business is only willing to pay for the most rudimentary conception of a backup strategy, and then it turned out to have been subject to corruption.
> - how do I pronounce the name (note there's a popular crypto tool called "age", which is "pronounced like the Japanese 上げ (with a hard g)")

It's utterly ridiculous that a non-phonetic language won out (for now) the race to global lingua franca. Oh well, I guess we're stuck with it.
Vue.js Best Practices

This is brilliant!

Especially for those times when you have internet issues on one end or another.

At the very least you don't lose your content.
But how much do you personally pay for the artists' products per month, compared to how much you pay your bank? How many people actually pay anything for some specific artists' stuff, compared to some specific bank?

Everybody needs a bank, and there are very few banks, with very few people who really earn a lot. Gambling is gambling.. most lose there. And the rest mentioned are a result of governents/police/court system not working.

It's easy to say Bobby the youtuber deserves more money... actually paying him from your pocket is a totally different thing.
Minimum wage is not centrally planned. It's setting a monetary value. Prices go up without it anyway.
> because it's clearly not working.

Is it not? How much time or will do people currently have to consume art? The internet has dropped the barrier to getting an audience to near zero. Yet the vast, vast majority of people still want to consume mainstream, curated art. Even though it’s completely free, people don’t sit and browse websites for niche artists. Or, if they do, they certainly aren’t going to pay for it and would prefer the format of TikTok/Instagram.
Bristol protest: Police attacked as 'Kill the Bill' demo turns violent
That's a bad way of putting it: GDPR obviously applies, but it permits storing data that needs to be stored due to other legal obligations. If "GDPR didn't apply", it would also loose all the other protections GDPR provides, which it doesn't.
It is fairly unlikely YouTube makes significant profits. It's costs are enormous.

More importantly, even if it were profitable now, it took literally hundreds of billions of investment to get there, and huge subsidy by Google's server infrastructure. Where is this public YouTube going to get an amount of money literally bigger than Nasa's funding from?
ReMarkable 2 V.S. Onyx Max Boox Lumi
Yep. That thinking is part of the problem.

Because you did not feel bothered by him you assume no one has a right to it?

> hiring in London

Outside of London companies are still looking for experienced software people under the £40k mark, and then wondering why they have staff retention issues, or can't attract top talent.

This is showing signs of slow change - Starling bank have a plan to open offices in other cities, starting with Southampton, and pay close-to-London money. JPMC have had that strategy in Dorset for quite a while too.
> Few creators actually manage to make a living wage through YouTube and Patreon — two of the relatively more mature, robust platforms, both of which are in need of distributing more income to their less popular creators.

You can make that argument about YouTube (and complain about Patreon's cut) but on Patreon consumers choose who they want to give money to. Are Patreon expected to take off an extra X% and subsidise the less popular creators?
