Show HN: Publish SEO-Optimized WP Posts(Semantic Internal Links) from G Docs
I developed this Google Docs editor add-on to scratch my itch.

It helps you write in Google Docs and helps you do the following:

- With a click of a button, it finds the potential keywords to create internal links and add relevant internal links.(YouTube Demo: https://youtu.be/kdUXGiPLnuM)

- Allows you to set the Focus Keyword and the Meta description for the RankMath and Yoast. Checks your content and provides SEO suggestions similar to Yoast and RankMath.

- Compress images before uploading them to the WordPress Media Library.

- Automatic alt text generation for the images.

- Push your posts to WordPress in a single click.

More than 150 users have installed the add-on. But only a few have added sites and using it.

Any suggestions for making the users add the sites and make them use the add-on?

Thanks in advance.

> No root cause. On other forums it is understood they were running very old and unpatched VMware os. Which is simply embarrassing and everybody within their IT team should be fired immediately for gross negligence.

The IT team most likely begged for years for funds to upgrade their infrastructure, but did not receive any of it. Public institutions are already short on money, but education has it even worse.

If anyone is to blame, it is the last British governments, who have focused their attention on Brexit and Ruanda crap instead of providing services for the citizens.
I use make's `wildcard`, for example to locate all of my unit tests with the project sources (I don't use a `test` subdir):

TEST_SRC = $(wildcard *_test.c)

If you follow TFA's guidelines about having a `src` dir, then:

SRC = $(wildcard src/*.c)

And if you need to convert that to a list of matching .o files, `patsubst` is your friend:

OBJ = $(patsubst %.c,%.o,$(SRC))

So now simply dropping a file into the right place (or a unit test ending in _test.c) won't require any makefile changes.

I tend to copy my most recent Makefile into my next project and generally it stays 90% the same (I have to edit a few macro definitions and rules, but not many).

Does someone have more context as why this is so “insane”? Yes understandably there is randomness / non-deterministic nature to these generative models. But what does this mean to you as user? What’s so compelling about this particular scenario? Maybe you discover that some apps are just wrappers around another API.

What’re some other angles to this that make this a good post for discussion?

This is impressive. I poked around and for the (few) routes I'm aware of it has excellent information. I can see using this for future planning/dreaming.

I've found train travel sites can be fairly hard for non-locals to find / navigate through and you get waylaid by third parties that aren't as good for the actual booking as the less SEO optimized first-party carrier sites. Ends up being frustrating. I appreciate this site just gives you the facts rather than trying to do everything.

Everything about this is tastefully "old school". So much information density, and none of life story fluff most train travel blogs throw in.

I appreciate the advertising through fairly non-intrusive banners/links embedded in the pages (seriously, coming back in the HTML and not injected by JavaScript - who does that anymore?) that bypasses the adblocker. I was curious enough by the ones I saw that I disabled my adblocker to see if that was it - unfortunately there are also Google ads on top, but at least not cranked up to ridiculous levels.

I've "pinned" it in Kagi so now it comes up when I'm searching for train travel in the future.

I think change is gradual not sudden. It tends to be incremental and also tends to be specific to one area. Often if you are involved in the change you don't notice it as much. My grandmother passed over 20 years ago. As a result of her passing away I didn't go to her village for close on 15 years. When I did go the changes I noticed were astonishing to me. 15 years back most of the houses were mud huts. Now most are brick building with mud huts being the exception. It took a while.

Anyone who spends time spreading new and improved ways of doing things I urge you to firstly continue to do so and to also realise change is gradual. Humans

> Why wasn’t it an option to improve esbuild’s splitting functionality or to improve rollup performance?

Rollup is written in javascript; not only is the runtime slow, the multicore story is terrible.

Improving esbuilds splitting functionality is hard because splitting is full of hard tradeoffs; the spec allows module imports to have side-effects and requires that they be evaluated in order. It's therefore impossible to do optimal code-splitting without violating the esmodule spec (potentially introducing subtle errors), and the `esbuild` project values correctness even more highly than performance.

Personally, I'd be very happy with "If you enable the 'make it fast' option and have modules with top level side-effects, you will get weird bugs", but I respect where they're coming from in not wanting to do that.

Really nicely designed. I initially thought it was a tool for newsletter publishers but the step-by-step explained it well.

The pricing does seem a little steep in terms of the number of conversions per month. At the low end (basic, monthly) it's $0.90 per conversion, but even on yearly essential it's $0.66

The main call-to-action button says 'Start listening - it's free!' but then the pricing details don't include any information about a free tier or trial

It looks like you need to listen via the website, is that true? Ideally I'd get a private RSS feed (options for one per newsletter or a combined feed) that I could use in whatever podcast app I wanted
Israel is one of the world's largest weapons exporters.

Mathematics is not a parlor trick. It's a purely cognitive and abstract system which can be infinitely recursed upon itself to learn ever more which, seemingly by good fortune, happens to map onto many things in the real world. Once one learns addition, the concept of multiplication comes naturally. As does subtraction, at which point you quickly end up on the eery domain of negative numbers, and so on.

To see how silly these things are imagine somebody claiming to have taught mathematics to one of these numberless tribes by training them to pick a larger group of items when it's blue, and pick a smaller group of items when it's yellow. Somebody claiming that is teaching them math would obviously be looked at like an idiot. It's a circus trick - and a rather apt reflection of what passes for research now a days.

First time I see this. Could you share some links?
Could you elaborate why them being state owned was a contributing factor? We’ve seen countless similar incidents with private MSSPs as well.
As a developer, I've also never been afraid of the gatekeepers.

But not because they're fully aligned with me or my employer's interests — I've collected examples and anecdotes since before smartphones existed where the big players have killed off smaller businesses in their ecosystems — no, my lack of fear is because this whole sector is dynamic chaos with new opportunities appearing almost as soon as the old ones disappear, and generally in greater quantity.

Isn't the whole argument here that there isn't enough healthy competition?

The thing is that countless of lives have been ruined by bigcorps for doing "piracy".

But now the bigcorps see it as a way to gain more money and control over other's lifes, so suddenly doing piracy is totally fine and for the greater good!

The worst part is that these individuals whose lives have been ruined weren't even harming anyone. Their operations were on such a small scale that it barely had any impact.

But these bigcorps are looking to reshape society, destroy many jobs and industries, rewrite social contracts, and it's all just hunky dory.

Carbon is not a subset of C++, it will have a memory safe subset of itself, like Rust does.

That said, Carbon’s definition of memory safety does not include data race safety, and so will not have a borrow checker.

The whole website is apparently all static hand-edited HTML files (https://twitter.com/seatsixtyone/status/1679954215588823040), so any train company policy changes involve a large-scale find-replace operation (https://twitter.com/seatsixtyone/status/1671815739236401153).
Both of those options imply not using Rust, hence why.

I tend to think Rust isn't suitable to rewrite JavaScript tooling, any compiled language would do, or even native addons, but apparently dealing with borrow checker for userspace software that doesn't require 1us performance within 512 KB is appealing.

Speaking of things “written in javascript” for the longest time all I kept hearing is how incredibly fast things written js are…

Is it fair to say that it was a bit of a sales pitch?

When key components of the ecosystem that were written in the language of the ecosystem itself are being rewritten in other languages - I think it’s hard to find a more compelling evidence that all is not as great as it was advertised.

The insane part is how we’ve been conditioned to interpret the most banal, 0-entropy strings as “cutting edge AI”, to the extent we get surprised when two supposedly different models emit the same (lack of) content.

There are not many animations on iOS nor MacOS. What they are is movement that corresponds to the users movements. Like opening exposé with the touchpad on MacOS is not an animation, the windows follows the movement of your fingers. Likewise scrolling is not an animation, because it follows the users movements.
That is right. The near sole determiner of whether an idea flourishes these days is whether it greases the wheels of capitalism. Sometimes, those ideas are in line with our morality and greater good, but most of the time they are not.
Where in the world is it anywhere close to "free market capitalism" at scale? Most economies have a vast number of regulations on markets, products, capital, labor, ...

Discovery is one important reason. Not that that's guaranteed to work. You probably need to do your own marketing--including playing at local bars etc. for pennies and tips. Of course, the same things is mostly true these days for writers with a publishing contract.

People pursue creative pursuits for a lot of different reasons, including personal fulfillment. But you pretty much have to win the lottery to make a decent full-time living off of it. People may somewhat enjoy laying bricks--but it's a job they expect to make a living at. If they can't, they'll try to do something else.
The Carbon folks are very clear that it is nowhere near ready, an experiment, and that it may not even work out. They suggest using Rust if you can.

I think given that context, it makes sense that it’s not here, and when it becomes more real in a few years, it might get reevaluated then.
Thanks. Thats new information to me that sunrise and sunset don’t move uniformly.
What the Red Sea cable outage should teach us
Whenever I see questions about CAP as a useful thought exercise in distributed systems, it seems to originate from people trying to defend database systems that don't respond well to the realities of partition inevitably.

That is people doing implicit or explicit marketing of some enterprise data landgrab telling you things like they can scale arbitrary SQL joins across distributed tables. Because large data sets do not teleport across the wire for merging.

Foundation db, Cassandra, and kinda dynamo (I don't trust their new global replication) actually scale, but I've never used gcps db techs.

CAP is imo one of the best distributed systems principles ever stated. It is simply state, compare to say the nitty gritty of say paxos vs raft. It is a very useful first principles exercise for deconstructing whatever harebrained claim some marketroid is foisting upon you.

> The increasing use of third-party providers within our network, some of which has been due to capacity and capability constraints within Technology and elsewhere in the Library, was noted by the Library’s Corporate Information Governance Group (CIGG) in late 2022, and the increasing complexity of managing their access was flagged as a risk. A review of security provisions relating to
the management of third parties was planned for 2024; and the tightening of access provisions that would be enabled by improvements to underlying computer and storage infrastructure and the migration of storage to the cloud, which is currently being implemented.

No because that would cause world wide people to buy EU phones just for the third-party stores even if they live in other countries.
