This is a fairly terrible article covering well-trodden ground through lots of hyperbole and nonsense. I mean, I get it, Wordpress can be awful, especially if you don't know what you're doing, load it up with a 100 plugins of dubious quality, don't cache, etc. it's going to be an awful experience.

However, having managed a woocommerce business for about 2 years now, I can't say I have seen absolutely anything that would be better for a small business, aside from getting myself into a SaS situation with Shopify, which would have cost many times more and actually been less flexible. Yes, you probably can't set WP up well without any technical competence, you're going to run into all sorts of issues. In which case, yeah, don't use it. Pay Shopify what they ask, and call it a day.

Now as it happens, I know PHP reasonably well, I know how to put up a website. I know how to do the basics. I wouldn't call myself a web designer (none of this is my day job), but I also know I wouldn't touch these guys' commerce solution with a ten foot pole, I'll stick with Automatic thanks.
I have never heard such a definition of type erasure, generally it means that the concrete type is hidden behind a generic "OO" interface which is itself hidden behind a value type providing the same interface / API
Thanks for the note about the semicolon! Added it
Whatever you can do with React you can do with pure JS.
pjax (first released 8 years ago) preceeded turbolinks (6 years old), and was the inspiration for it

htmx is an attempt to drive HTML forward as a hypermedia, so it exposes explicit, client-side attributes, rather than hiding them as with pjax/turbolinks, although there is an attribute, hx-boost, that acts similar to them both

worth noting that intercooler.js, which was the predecessor for htmx, is 8 years old as well
Looks like its gonna be time to sell soon, LOL.
The problem with hidden state is interacting with hidden state. Like if we're playing battleship the partition blocks you from seeing where I place my ships. But with a filtered display you can see where I move my hand and know there's a ship there. In short, hidden state requires hidden interaction which means some sort of controller.

At that point we might as well be playing video games on separate screens.

I think what we want is better board games. Which means cooperative play in a large world. Or maybe cool graphics. Or maybe the convenience of not having to buy/store physical games.
> sick building syndrome

A lot of that, at least in the US, is due to having houses built more tightly for insulation, which stopped the natural air exchange from drafts that would normally occur. Now the building codes have been revised to mandate that a certain rate of air changes occurs even in houses, usually done using a heat exchanger: https://bcapcodes.org/tools/code-builder/residential/ventila...
Mostly the latter, this particular visa scheme just sucks.

If you’re rich enough to move to the UK without having a job lined up, you’ll just go for the investor visa. If you have a job lined up, you’ll just get the work visa.
I'd count blocks in the same way Facebook tracks likes. "2534 People didn't want to see this". Also let people sort content by how many people blocked it, either direction.
So what's the situation with hosted WP, what's the best in class for "I don't want to worry about reacting to vulnerabilities" in WP SaaS and how do you compare / evaluate this? Or, are there 3rd party services you can contract to scan your WP setup?
An example in case you’re curious: I once learned about a train meme group from a friend. I’m a transit enthusiast, so I joined and I loved this group. for a while it was one of the highlights of Facebook.com for me. I’m lib-left politically, which fit with the lefty slant of the group, but still there came to be frequent shitstorm threads all within the scope of lefty discourse. for example, upzoning vs gentrification, should we ban cars, should we eat the rich, things like that. Eventually it got to the point where I hated seeing a post from that group on my timeline because I knew it was going to be another comment shitstorm, and so I left the group.

Was it a moderation issue? Was it FB optimizing for engagement? Could algorithmic moderation of inflammatory content have even helped? I don’t know, but what was one of the few things I stayed on FB for, instead became a heap of garbage with the occasional scattered gem.
> There are definitely languages where you could easily differentiate between a "length-int" and a "coordinate-int" in the type system

Python, via the shared portion of the type system enforced by the major type checkers, is one of those languages.

The fact that a particular library doesn't choose to do this doesn't mean the type system doesn't fully support it.
What's the point of high compensation when most of it will end up getting taxed away? If you combine employee/employer taxes/contributions it gets to 80%. Add a huge amount of regulations and unions to the mix.

There are some exceptions in places like Bulgaria, Belarus, or Poland. But they have much higher barriers like language and climate.

You have to take into account bias even then. Negative bias and propaganda can be just as strong. But yeah, I personally read German news or AL Jazeera or whatever.
The google workspace suite (gmail, docs, etc.) is quite heavy for school chromebooks, but a big part of the issue with school issued machines is they're running a monitoring solution on top of it. I've seen GoGuardian peg a 1/2 cores as well as the additional bandwidth that is probably a concern in a classroom with 20 other machines.
Good to address the security aspects of named pipe. However none of those describes how to secure the server.

The server needs to call ImpersonateNamedPipeClient() on the incoming client connection to assume the client’s security token, that would lower the server’s privilege to the level of the client. That’s it!

A guest level client can connect to the server. The server’s privilege becomes guest, and cannot access any resources that guest has no permission to access.

> [...] the JSON starts to look very similar to HTML.

So that means, in practical terms, that every system that complies with the REST principles ends up virtually isomorphic to the web?

Which kind of means that the REST principles are not general enough?
Oil prices are still too cheap. Using oil has huge externalities, it's time consumers paid them. Good luck to the idiots who try to shoot the government.
> Contractors are a lot more broad than you think.

If you are a teacher or municipal worker, you should not be a contractor in the first place, but an actual employee of the government.
> Now, suddenly, everyone is shocked, shocked that oil prices have gone back up.

We also had ten years worth of truck and SUV purchases prior to inauguration day early this year, and I recall everyone paying almost a dollar and a half less per gallon during that time period.
One major downside to HTMX is that as soon as there is any state you have to keep track of, you're teleported back to the late 90s or early 2000s where you have to keep track of all your state in hidden form fields, and you're extremely constrained in how you update pages.

IMO, it's annoying enough that it's probably not worth it unless you're doing something trivial. If you want to render html on the server you can still do that, but in many cases it is easier to just use custom javascript and maybe even receive the rendered html as json to simply updating pages rather than use htmx.
That would be fantastic. The world needs pidgin 2.0 where all the services are aggregated and serve the user.

Sounds very interesting. Honestly not trying to be skeptical, the thing it reminds me of was a proposal from a scientist that Australia import elephants and rhinos to help control the spread of gamba grass. Itself imported from africa for grazing, it crowds out local plants, but maybe more pertinent these days, has an increased fire risk profile.

To me the contention with any plan, conservation or otherwise, is "be ultra careful what you bring into Australia".

Certainly not an expert, I'm sure in any case they would be very careful doing any of this, tracking etc. And I don't feel rhino's are quite as aggressive as say, hippos (authorities did not think Escobar's hippos would survive in Colombia; that turned out to be dead wrong). But I would certainly be very curious to see how introducing such a large aggressive herbivore with no natural predators would affect the area, if only because it does seem like a doable task to control the population.
So pretty much the Blazor Server approach in the Dot Net world then?
> Complete with referring to police as "security forces",

The western press goes in to far more detail about how oppressive, brutal and unaccountable American police are than any other country. There is pretty much an unending stream of criticism of the police.

> including wild speculations about the backstabbing behind-the-scenes of their top politics, etc.

If you have never seen such speculation about American politicians, I assume you have never looked at a newspaper.
>First - why should I value life of someone who's actively robbing me? In my mind, the moment they attack my rights, including my property rights - I don't owe any moral consideration to them anymore, they broke the social contract with me, and I'm going to use anything at my disposal to stop them.

Well then you've just broken the social contract. Since Hammurabi created the first written rule of law(at least this was taught growing up, but I believe they've found earlier tablets since) society generally agrees that an eye for an eye is the rule. The most you can do to an offender while being morally justified is the equivalent. Except in the case there's a proximate threat to your life, of course, owing to the fact that dead people can't get justice.

If you kill someone for stealing, off to prison you go. To put it into terms similar to yours-- why should I value the life of someone who broke the social contract as well as the law? The death of a man shakes me more than the theft of a catalytic converter, and the second you kill a man in my country you are affecting me far more than some common thief. Now you're making my family feel unsafe
For those following along at home, "golang.org/x/pkgsite" redirects to "https://pkg.go.dev/golang.org/x/pkgsite", which declares the repository to be at "https://cs.opensource.google/go/x/pkgsite", which gives a "Permission denied" error page unless you fetch code from Google Tag Manager. So it's all nicely open source, and not proprietary, as long as you subject yourself to Google's tracking mechanisms, or sign into your Google account, and do not license any libraries public domain -- Google will use them, but not show them to you. So as you can see, there's nothing to complain about, and we should all thank Google for their grandmotherly kindness.
I didn't mean that that community coined them, but for many people I think the game introduced the term to them.

The use of students in place of professionals would have gone as #3 in my list if I had thought of it, thank you for adding it.

Generalizing from studies where all participants were students is one of the things that psychology and the social sciences have had to stop doing (except when they are studying students specifically, of course).

We are currently growing into it and may find we get the same mixed results.

I work with a lot of undergrad CS students and the difference between an undergrad senior and a second year junior developer is enormous.

That's not a problem in general, but it is if you want to test software engineering practices with students beyond just working the kinks out of your protocol.
I see it differently: despite alcohol having absolutely horrible safety profile the vast majority of people manage to use it responsibly and don't let it ruin their lives. We all know that some people become alcoholics and yet it stops virtually nobody from enjoying Friday beer.

The drug prohibition made it difficult to know how many people use drugs responsibly. It is linked to legal weed actually: it is being legalized not because research showed it is not too dangerous (we knew it for a while), but because more and more people become aware that you can totally use weed and remain a respectable member of society.

For me it is a question of personal freedom. Everything has risks. Going hiking in mountains can kill you, for example, or almost any outdoor activity really. And some people die there pretty much every day. But I really don't want the state banning it just because some people fuck up.
If you don’t have reason to believe it’s spoiled, there’s no reason to follow the botulism toxin procedure. As the article mentions, botulism in canned foods is practically non-existent with modern safety procedures.

Are you at all familiar with UK visa processes, or are you just guessing?

Firstly, this isn’t a particularly good visa scheme. Secondly, there’s an extremely limited set of people who could apply for this.

> the imam was narrating over passages from scripture to conform it to how Americans view things

Or the imam had been influenced by American culture and was conforming it to their own views.

I totally agree that people discount how much impact protestantism had/still has, but these views have been secularized and can thrive without any religious framework.

It's all culture, basically; I don't think I'm disagreeing with you.
Nope. Eastern European brilliant minds would flock to London and get paid far lower salaries than they were worth. Ukranians, Lithuanians. The legacy of communist math is alive and well - they were generally better than any western european talent you could get and cheaper. They would always get the top jobs, but the regular influx of new blood meant salaries were stuck.

A toxic article that offers no actual solutions to replace WordPress--It just boils down to being a clickbait troll's post to say "your dev is trash hire us instead because your dev is trash. also you are trash and so is your budget". People/companies like this give the community a bad name.

- "Dynamic Websites": "The term implies to the fact that the you, as the owner of the website can change the content on the website as per your will or requirement. This is a great selling point for the "not so knowledgable web designers".
--No, it's a great selling point to avoid wasting valuable time as a Publish Monkey whenever a client wants a new blog post or image

-"Wordpress websites are more likely to break down every three to four months."
--None of my current company's WordPress sites have ever gone down unless it was an error on our end. Not WordPress's fault in any way.

-"considering the lameass budget you will have"
--Insulting the reader is surely wonderfully productive when seeking out quality clients.

According to the HN's comment guidelines, this post is a 'crap link': https://news.ycombinator.com/newswelcome.html
Last time I checked, that was around PHP 7.0, it was using chaining for its hash table implementation. One notable thing was that its hash table was also using a more optimal array impl (no hashing) if you were only using numerical consecutive keys starting from zero.
Temporal is IMO the best way to write reliable code. Great for microservice orchestration, async work, long-running tasks, crons, distributed transactions/SAGAs. And a great benefit to the TS SDK versus the other language SDKs is that it runs workflow code in a V8 virtual machine to help ensure determinism (writing non-deterministic workflows is a class of potential bugs in Temporal).
Removing write access creates a metric ton of its own issues, not limited to hosing the ability for content creators to upload data (without specific exceptions).

You're also in a space where few actually tread. Even technologists on HN.
I'm on three of those right now, two more to boot.

It's the dose that makes the potency and effect.

The dose available to the end-user is determined from the drug itself and the supply chain, since it is unregulated. If it were regulated, the individual doses would be more controlled, allowing for less habitual redosing, and less acute mental and physical dependency.

Imagine you want a beer but hafta volumetrically dose it from 100% grain alcohol and cider. It'd be easier to become an alcoholic. Similarly, it is harder to "responsibility" enjoy heroin/fent or coke/meth because every time I want a small amount, I have to stare at a weeks worth for a brief moment.

The illegality of drugs itself becomes tautologically entwined with the reasons they are illegal. It is becoming more difficult to diffuse as our culture leans to polarity on drug issues.

when you get thrown off of the board you still have your shares.

so the trade is still successful by my rubric. I consider all things to be trades, whether I invested in a publicly traded equity, or whether I created a bunch of $0.00 par value shares to sell to a bunch of other people.

the rule is the same: don't get married to a company.

a board removing you doesn't need any fanfare. you still have the shares.
I did a cup of coffee at an agency that built with WordPress this year. I hadn't been around the ecosystem in awhile, and I was really impressed at how some modern frameworks (Themosis) and helpful plugins (Advanced Custom Fields) could give you a reasonable code base and the ability to do pretty much anything you want.

Its biggest drawback is that it's too easy for laymen to add whatever. Which is part of its strength, I suppose: anyone can do anything. But I saw how a clean staging environment could turn into a wacky, bogged down production environment just by adding a dozen plugins that do everything from site caching to hiding the title from a blog post.

Had I stayed around, I would have looked into keeping end users from adding plugins, and maybe being more restrictive about the bits that we didn't account for when developing our themes.
If you plan to add more rings you're going to run into the Dzhanibekov effect https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tennis_racket_theorem, which was still a Soviet state secret at the time space habs were being imagined, and might have still been a secret when they filmed 2010. That station would have been wobbling like crazy.

I'm pretty sure that phenomenon even kills the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Neill_cylinder, especially once you introduce liquids and soil to the interior. It's likely that we have to spin the cigar along the long axis to keep from killing everyone, which would greatly reduce the usable surface area and screw up the artificial lighting situation.
Realistically I think really high profile research labs will want you to have some published work or for whatever reason know that you are a really talented programmer and will hire you as a scientific programmer. I know at least one person that went to an industry research lab after a masters degree, but he had the necessary connections to there and the appropriate exceptional programming skills. Alternatively he could also consider doing an industry PhD, there should be lots of potential opportunities for that.

Don't get me wrong - I'd love this trend - but I just don't see it yet.
This is interesting to read as I'm pretty introverted, so I've taken the opposite approach. I avoid talking about it because I expect to be treated differently in a negative way by work colleagues if I admit it, and I don't know many people close enough outside of a work context to speak about it. My approach, which is fairly effective at causing happiness, is to start by finding joy in solitary activities, versus seeking friends. I really like reading classic books, film, and music.

I don't expect to make a close friend like I did in my youth, and I also prefer not to, because I felt like my former best friend took advantage of the fact that I wouldn't have any close connections left if he left, and treated me in a way that made my life worse for a while until I ended things. So, I figure there are worse things than being alone.

If anything, I'm treat relationships with significant others as best friend relationships with intimacy. Otherwise, I have healthy working relationships work colleagues, but I don't expect to make friends like in high school, and I'm usually pretty happy trying to better myself mostly on my own.

Charles Bukowski's poem comes to mind:

there are worse things

than being alone

but it often takes

decades to realize this

and most often when you do

it's too late

and there's nothing worse

than too late
