My wife and I have been living like this for the last 10+ years; furnished apartments, short-term contracts, day-to-day essentials purchased locally and sold secondhand when we move.

At first I found it incredibly freeing - and I still do, mostly - but over time I’ve developed this almost nostalgic feeling for a home. Some place that’s filled with my own stuff where I can at least mentally ground myself. The idea of actually having one still seems almost overwhelming, but the concept sounds nice.

Maybe it’s because I’m getting older, or because my family is, or maybe an unsettled life just gets to you after a while.
If that's their only reason, they're in for a big surprise when they find out about corruption in the West.
I did something similar on a smaller scale: "Caching" ssd drives which are not the best but have a huge amount write bytes left are widely available on ebay and I bought 8 200GB SAS3 drives for dirt cheap (under 200$ total, drives from 2017). Not the fastest drives but good enough for my purpose (overkill even).
You obviously haven't lived a single of these "trainings".
Once they are in place, it's part of a broader culture.
People receiving these mandatory trainings are afraid. During the training, they comply, and look at each other. After the training, they are still afraid. They know it's part of a general strategy to prey on the scape goats, so if any of them "laugh" about the "training", he risks being reported or complained about by another employee, even outside of working place and working hours, because mandatory Reporting of any Deviance under penalty of job termination is also Part of the Training !

But hey, I get it, as long as "others" have to suffer it, you don't care.
I agree. I don't think Leetcode is a good reflection of programming interviews. In programming interviews, you're supposed to have a sound thought process, write clean code, and don't need to pass hundreds of test cases. Leetcode is just a programming environment that, imo, is not the same as a programming interview.

I'd rather learn interview algorithms from books. And by getting feedback from trusted peers.
Surprised and happy to see this! I was an avid user of the old Turntable.fm which sadly shut down. (I would love to get an invite for the new service if anyone has any ;) )

Related, there is also jqbx.fm which integrates with Spotify which is basically the same thing, can recommend.

If you’re interested, there’s a interesting youtube video about how Japan needs to thin its forests. The youtuber initially set out to create a video about how great Japan’s forest coverage was, but it turns out that after the war (when the forests were stripped first for the war effort, then for the rebuilding) Japan replanted with just two types of tree, Japanese cedar and Japanese cypress, for their supposed superiority for industrial use. However, it was never cheaper than imported timber, so the industry fell apart and could not afford to maintain the forests.

Today these forests are thick and overgrown with these trees, and because they don’t let in much light through their leaves their forest floors are barren. Japan also estimates that allergy season from all the resultant pollen costs $2B a year in economic output.

It's going to be interesting to see how it plays out. These sorts of conditions are completely normal in the US. If they are successful at introducing this sort US work culture into Germany I can see many other US tech company will follow suit, and the European tech companies following.

(a) You claimed two codebases before. Switching to "independent implementation" is shifting the goalposts.

(b) The reason you fork a codebase is to make it different. They've been forked for eight years or so now. This is longer than many codebases even exist for! I don't know how different they are in practice (especially in the matter of parsing), but I think it's unreasonable to assert that just because they're forked, ipso facto they are not independent. Instead, you should have to show that they are not independent and then explain this in terms of common origin.

edit: To add to this point (b), afaik the old Netscape and IE had a common origin, in that they both derived from NCSA Mosaic. But it would be ludicrous to imply that they were in any sense equivalent!
Exactly, and what could be better for all than equality and diversity? Obviously what's best for all isn't best for everyone.

For a long time I’ve wondered if something inside me is wired incorrectly, because I always hear this sentiment among my friends but I have never felt it.

Not on the first move from the US to China a decade ago, not on the last one from Hong Kong to Singapore a couple of years ago, and not right now as I think about going to Europe. It just has never struck me as a particularly big thing to move somewhere else.

Ivermectin is at least an order of magnitude safer than paracetamol. There's 30 years of safety data, more than 3.7 billion doses, and on average less than 1 death per year.

In the talk above, the Ivermectin safety profile is specifically discussed here: [1]

"Ivermectin was generally well tolerated, with no indication of associated CNS toxicity for doses up to 10 times the highest FDA-approved dose of 0.2mg/kg." [2]

The only way you can overdose is if you use horse paste, and get the dose wrong by more than an order of magnitude. Even then, it's unlikely to result in hospitalization or death. The only reason people have to use horse paste is because they are unable to safely obtain Ivermectin by other means.

> it’s not true, provided you know what you’re doing, don’t use $50 a year hosting, don’t install a gazillion plugins, and keep stuff up to date.

But... we started this thread with 'WordPress isn't for you, the alternative isn't a static site and a CI pipeline', so it's supposed to be for people who don't know what they're doing, often do use $50 a year hosting that comes with 'cPanel', keep installing different plugins until one kind of does what they want and then leave all the others, and never update anything until something breaks/they want something new and they start installing plugins again.
There is so much wrong here that it's hard to pick where to start. Just wow.
Actually, usually the opposite.

I do more challenging work as a hobbyist than as an employee, by several orders of magnitude. The cause for that is that as a web developer the emphasis on work and capabilities is entirely around knowledge of tools. If fact it is pretty extreme to the point of people often telling you to deliberately avoiding writing original solutions to problems, even if quick and minor, if instead you can download an untested package from the internet.

See:

I usually excel at the leet code portion of the interview and then immediately bomb the next round of interview when I advocate for writing code, originality, and portability.
It seems the new culture around re-writing these tools in rust starts with a few premises:

* Old tools are well established, not looking for major feature additions or changes

* Hard to add new features to old C-based system tools due to mature codebase and being written in C

* Using Rust to reach a low-bug/maintainable state more quickly than a re-write in C or C++

* Adding a bunch of quality of life features that make it worth switching

The big downside with these tools, of course, is that they are re-writes of tools that have been standard Linux/Unix system tools for a long time and can be generally expected to be present on any system for the purpose of shell scripts, services etc. Using any of these tools in a shell script requires the user to install it, along with the whole dependency graph that rust typically comes with (at least when building from source which is typically the case with rust).
Old and obsolete are not synonymous. WordPress will be obsolete when people no longer find it useful. There is little sign of that happening.

There was a Klarna cloud yes. At the time it was unclear if finance/banks could utilise public cloud services (regulatory requirements), so it made sense in that way, but creating your own cloud is something few orgs are capable of.

If only industrialized countries did nothing - it would be a miracle for the developing countries!

Instead, industrialized countries push for their own agendas, plunder them for their resources, install their lackeys into power, play "divide and conquer" games with local populations, force them into unfavorable for the country deals, impose penalties and embargos whenever the developing country doesn't cave in to their demands, and so on...
I've used WordPress for a personal blog since 2005. Over the years, I switched hosting, different versions of PHP / MySQL, upgrades to WordPress,... But one thing I've never done was exporting all my content and then importing it in a fresh installation. Yes, I tinkered with SQL statements and I went through manual cleaning if an overzealous plugin didn't clean up properly after itself. But I never ran into the wall where the entire database got into an irreparable, unusable state.

It's a simple blog. So, I've always tried to use plugins sparingly, and avoided massive database model changes if I could help it. But I like to think it wouldn't have been possible without the care put into WordPress upgrade path.

At the same time, the focus on backward compatibility, to my mind, has held it back. Sure, innovation happened at the visible level, the surface level. New themes, new administration UI, Gutenberg, Blocks,... all of that have improved the author experience. But looking under the hood, the codebase simply isn't in line with modern PHP practices adopted by major PHP framework communities. Which leaves quite a lot to be desired for.

Granted, part of the appeal of Wordpress is simply being able to grab the PHP files and (S)FTP them to a shared hosting. No need for complex CI, no need for composer, no need for complex configuration. That's what lowers the bars for many people who simply wanted their own self-hosted space on the Web.

My other major gripe is how WordPress authoring experience evolved over time into a direction which I don't agree with. The editor in modern WordPress feels heavy handed: every item you add to an article morphs into a distinct component accompanied by a contextual menu with myriad options. I feel that this just gets in the way of what's actually important: writing. Personally, I like(d) the terseness of a simple textarea form element with limited affordances as to what you can add in terms of markup. Then again, the ambitions of Automattic are beyond simple writing and moved even beyond authoring and publishing. I think that's just par for the course and I don't fault them for that. It just has made WordPress less of a good fit for me over the years and that leaves me some with a sense of saudade.

Either way, I owe a lot to WordPress. And I'm curious to see how it will evolve in the years to come.
Funnily enough, we could solve a big problem by getting rid of them (anti-natalists, that is).
How did you do that? Is that some magic URL parameter?
The ancient world had far more capabilities than we often credit it with. The one that impresses me is the dialkos, also from the 6th century BC, which was nominally the world's first commercial freight railway, if you stretch the terminology a bit. Almost two and a half millennia between the first and the second.

History is fickle and nonlinear. In 1968, Kubrick and Clarke could look at the timeline between the Wright Brothers' first flight and then impending moon landings and conclude -- very reasonably! -- that there would be cities on the moon in 2001. And yet it's just as plausible that the moon landings, like this circumnavigation of Africa, could have simply been a momentary flex of a civilisation at the height of its powers, not to be repeated for thousands of years.

I'd love to see an alternate history which diverges at 600 BC. What if somebody had managed to connect an aeolipile to a drivetrain to a dialkos bogey, and kicked off the industrial revolution in Greece, at the same time as the circumnavigation of Africa had started the era of Phonecio-Egyptian colonialism? How different would the world look today?

Google is very good at not asking these questions verbatim, but they're only variations of the same patterns. It's not like there are hundreds of unique concepts you can cover over the length of a typical interview slot.

Anyway my point still stands. Big companies ask FizzBuzz++ because they want to see how you solve it, if you're able to communicate and write clean code.

But unfortunately a lot of smaller ones don't invest the time that is necessary to have a good and consistent interview process. And more often than not, being able to regurgitate the solution to a problem you've already seen will definitely score you more points.

There probably never will be a programming language that pleases all the syntax camps and all the semantics camps. Why not just use macro-assembler? It is the purest language that isn't binary machine code.
There are plenty of memory-safe languages equally suitable for similar CLI tools and, arguably, easier to write than Rust.
You can check out the rating of teams going to world finals in previous years.

https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/73791

https://codeforces.com/blog/entry/64909

The problem is that certain regions just have too many slots relative to their density of competition programmers.

For example in less competitive regions, a rating of around ~2100 gives you a decent shot at world finals.

But if you were in a region with a lot of other good schools, then even if you had a rating of 3000 you might not even be able to represent your own school, let alone your region. See MIT's result where their top 3 teams dominated their region but their school can still only send at most one team to world finals: https://nena20.kattis.com/standings
> and easy to spot

Not always. Like if you initialize middleware by using a "lambda" (closure), and you from within that closure creates a new closure.

It means that you need to be aware of the context the outer closure is used in. If it is only instantiated once during initialization, it's free variables are in essence "hidden" global variables. Not easy to spot.

I think we are practically agreeing at this point. And you bring some interesting perspectives. Very interesting conversation. Thanks.

To address the different burden of proof interpretations, like the author you quoted: in philosophy/logic it seems to be concerned with truth; in other disciplines (like discussing online, our main topic), with usefulness.

I agree with you that defining the term would be the best (but it puts us in Socrates territory). So, again, (I believe) it is right, but not practical for certain uses (discussing online would turn into discussing the definitions. In the end, the person making an unfounded claim is still wasting everybody's time discussing definitions instead of proving arguments in favor of their claims).

IMO this unhealthy dynamic of burden of proof is common to most disciplines (ones concerned about usefulness/practicality and not just truth). There is an unbalance of effort on making a point, and the unbalance should be, IMO, on the person challenging the status quo.

So, to conclude, because the concept of burden of proof seems useless to deal with truth, but it is useful to deal with usefulness, I think it is ok to assume the definition of it is the practical one (and not the philosophical). If somebody brings a point that challenges the status quo, IMO, they can be annoyed at people throwing burden of proof at them, but they are not right. They can, instead, use this energy to come up with arguments in favor of their argument.

Maybe burden of proof should not be described as a logical fallacy, since it is more of a rule to abide by for fruitful discussing, and, as far as I can tell, has no connection to logic.

I guess in the end our little disagreement comes down to that truth/usefulness interpretation.

There are three things that struck me in your post:

1) Who is your target market?
You mention you have users, but I don't know if they are just random user sign ups or your target market.

2) You are asking for user feedback, but you aren't giving any value. Why should anyone give you feedback if they don't get any benefit from it?

3) The internet is not a good way to ask how to market your product. Most of us don't know anything about your product other than the short description you provided. All you are going to get is generic marketing advice that will have limited use.
