Not quite - several Slavic languages have so called contrastive palatalization, i.e. almost all consonants come in palatalized/non-palatalized pairs, and they're hard to express using unmodified Latin alphabet. Some Slavic languages lost most of the contrastive palatalization (say, Serbian), and Turkic languages never had it to begin with, so they're easier to switch.

In Europe, Polish and Irish are two examples of a language with extensive contrastive palatalization which uses the Latin alphabet, and they're probably among the least readable/elegant writing systems in Europe.

As long as that takes more than 60 days it won’t interfere with their study. Absolute non-toxicity wasn’t the goal here.
The article claims Cyrillic alphabet was made to opress people and help Putin invade Ukraine. That it was made to help lords, rulers and politicians and ordinary people didn't have any advantage from using it. Also, Cyryl and Methodius were diplomats not saints. Also the alphabet was used by people from the East in their political fights against the West.

Quite laughable for anyone who knows a bit about the Cyrillic alphabet and the history of Eastern Europe.

It's not a matter of disrespect as much as of disobeyance. If there isn't (or shouldn't be) any subordination, disobeyance may not imply disrespect. The problem arises when people differ about whether there's subordination.

It’s actually compressed. It uses https://github.com/nodeca/pako and then applies base64. Try entering hundreds of "a" and you’ll see that the base64 doesn’t really get much longer.
All the cloud providers I rent services from offer IPv6. It's only the really big ones that seem to be dragging their feet.

I suppose the multi-AZ stuff makes things more complicated, but my $5 VPS host had IPv6 like what, ten years ago?

This does have one small benefit: since none of the large cloud providers seem to do competent IPv6, you can avoid scanners, scrapers, and other log polluters on personal services by just hosting them on IPv6.
If you just changed "but" to "and" you'd get your point across with less a sense of whataboutism.

Yes, all platforms should be free. Personally it feels like devices that are marketed as general purpose have a higher expectation that people can use them for general purposes, but it is definitely true that any device you purchase should allow you to run whatever software you want on it.
My gf has a WP ecommerce site that her business revolves around, it was built buy some local guys doing WP development who have an agency solving problems just with WP. She told me how fast they were able to iterate and solve all their problems. The site has a bunch of plugins integrating various social services, ad tracking, SEO and whatnot.

The site generates PDF shipment labels for parcels, one day her sales got high enough to buy a label printer, one that spits out 10x15cm stickers. The problem - PDFs from the site come out as A4 and text gets tiny if squeezed to fit into that sticker. She asked her developers to fix it, they said it's impossible and refused. Now that's interesting, nothing is impossible I shouted with my nerd hat on. I'm in the tech space for a good few decades now, I have FAANG experience, complex systems are my thing!

I spent 5 hours diving through tons of spaghetti code plugins masquerading as highly abstracted set of interfaces to arrive at the conclusion that these guys were right, the PDF blob comes from the shipment company's SOAP API, though it's obfuscated deep enough. In the end I solved it with a simple PyQT+fPDF UI utility to crop out the printable parts and project them onto the right sized canvas for printing, it took me 2h to complete with binary packaging and all, less time than it took to understand why the WordPress site can't do it natively, and much less than than it would have taken me to integrate this PDF modification into WordPress. These guys were basically right.

Her site now backs up to 4GB zip with photo assets. I dread the day when her site goes down due to some "hack" but I have no idea how to replicate this functionality for this cost without WP. No way in hell I would say I can do it from scratch for her, my previous Web dev experience doesn't matter at this point. Shopify? Sigh.
> It was already solved though (in Singapore and many other places).

I feel like people saying this don’t understand how radical Singapore’s housing solution is. It starts with the government repossessing most of the land in the city to develop housing. I think that’s alone is a non-starter pretty much anywhere in the United States.

It’s also far from perfect - I could for example talk about how construction in Singapore is for the most part only viable because of cheap labor from surrounding country, the ticking time bomb that is the 99 year lease or the fact that prices have slowly but surely ticked up in recent years, far in excess of inflation.
Us is deeply anti social at the heart. The original reason it got away with it was the American dream aka upward mobility. That is dead for two generations now, and it has developed a corresponding "anti-system" movement the society refused to acknowledge and deal with beyond declaring them "deplorables". The day the leader dies, such movements are up for grabs and can spin on the proverbial ideological dime. Maga will go sendero, but there was just nothing to be done.

Manual retry seems to download the missing URLs, otherwise mirroring jobs are randomly incomplete.
Bulgaria has one of the world’s fastest-shrinking populations, primarily attributed to a high death rate and a low birth rate. Major health-related issues, such as high rates of smoking and alcohol consumption, contribute to Bulgaria’s elevated mortality rate. Furthermore, Bulgaria faces challenges in retaining its younger population due to a lack of economic opportunities and declining living standards in certain areas, indirectly contributing to its demographic decline.

Cyrillic alphabet is the most phonetically accurate, they have a letter for every sound you make with your mouth. One sad story for the country founded in 681 b.c.

The First Bulgarian Empire (Church Slavonic: блъгарьско цѣсарьствиѥ, romanized: blŭgarĭsko tsěsarǐstvije; Bulgarian: Първо българско царство) was a medieval state that existed in Southeastern Europe between the 7th and 11th centuries AD. It was founded in 680–681 after part of the Bulgars, led by Asparuh, moved south to the northeastern Balkans.

Your last "nutshell" paragraph: I have read similar from other sources. Deeper question: Why? My thoughts: The weather in California makes it possible to be homeless, full time (12 months a year), without shelter -- not great, but not death by freezing. What do you think? I wonder if Hawai'i and Florida also have very high proportion of homeless people for similar reasons.

No one is having difficulty understanding your comment. It's just very clear to someone who lives in Bulgaria that you don't have first-hand knowledge of what you're talking about, and your speculations about what might happen 50 years from now are not grounded in reality. No one in Bulgaria uses the Latin alphabet to write in Bulgarian, and there's no indication that this will change. As the French say, 'avec des 'si' on mettrait Paris en bouteille'.
> It's a different you.

I think some inhibitions or blockers fall off, and you kind of run on dream logic. I had some major surgery and my sister was supposed to come in and help out right after it. She came right as they were bringing me back in to the room, and apparently I was commandeering the doctors to give her space and make her a coffee cause "Im a fucking queen, and you will do as I tell you"... I don't remember any of it.

I don't think you can build a machine to identify what is considered green. My wife and I disagree about whether our baby daughters eyes are green or not. There's the joke that men see 16 colors and women see 24 million. Some cultures don't even have the word for green so people there will say something green and something blue is the same color.

If you mean wavelength, that's a different story. But colors are not wavelengths

You solve this by dissolving all non-profits and seperating the state and the private sector completely. All tax money must be spent by government organizations or call for bids.

Something like this should be illegal: https://www.vox.com/recode/22321861/jeff-bezos-climate-earth...

First, Bezos steals money from hard-working employees and tax payers. Then he takes billions and funnels them into climate politics that no tax payer asked for.
The whole duplication doesn't have to be as bad as it might seem at first glance.

Large companies (and even ISPs) seem to be going for "IPv6-mostly" rollouts. Basically, everything is done primarily using IPv6, with fallbacks to IPv4 only when strictly necessary. This means IPv4 traffic gets converted to IPv6 at the client, forwarded over an IPv6-only network, and turned into "native" IPv4 for the internet at an edge NAT64 gateway. Legacy IPv4-only devices (printers and such) get an isolated vlan with its own gateway, and will of course be replaced with IPv6-capable alternatives as soon as it's appropriate.

I agree that for smaller companies it's relatively little benefit for the amount of work required, but if you're overhauling your network for other reasons anyways it makes little sense not to do it.
Doesn't this imply that there _is_ some sort of damage caused or something, but younger brains are able to work around it easier? General anesthesia should be avoided unless absolutely necessary imo (particularly egregious is doing it for wisdom teeth).
I really agree here, as someone who uses nerd fonts a lot[0]. There should always be a default without nerd fonts.

That said, what does it actually look like without? The docs say "render properly". I haven't tried it yet, let alone without nerd fonts.

That also said, I'd give this one a bigger break than most. If you're doing development work on a machine you probably got decent control and at least enough space to install fira.

[0] I suspect there are two types of people that are terminally terminal: those that are just in their own shells and can always control their full environment and those that work in many machines. I'm the latter, but I tend to notice the latter are also the former, but make different choices because of this, or at least smarter dotfiles that will change things based on environment or (like me) have source install scripts (you can always build a program locally ;) I'm glad people live in the shells, but I hope people making TUIs can realize that there's a bunch of us that have to move machines constantly.
I don't really buy this doomerism. The USA passed the biggest COVID safety net, in absolute and relative terms. It's still one of the best countries to get ahead. Most of its problems are not framed through grand narratives about decline. They're more pedestrian issues related to mechanisms like common law, a dysfunctional Senate and two party system, and replacement of state capacity with nonprofits (as this article poorly discusses).
I’d be glad to hear your responses to my three points and why I am so far off.

There is a third aspect where the bulgarian kingdom used the alphabet as a way to limit the Eastern roman empire and to consolidate its political claims. Putin is involved to the extend where he tries to consolidate russian imperial claims over all of eastern europe.
Everything is about dosage. Even a small enough amount of uranium isn't harmfull and is quite normal. It's at the point where trying to avoid it will cause more of an issue.

Why should Bezos spending his own money on climate change be illegal? A non-profit simply is distinguished by the lack of profit. Since the USA only taxes profit for corporations, that means no taxes, but anyone could set one up to varying degrees of success. Employee salaries and any company they invest in that is for profit are still taxed normally.
I don't get why he is pretty sure everybody has only one database which stores user data and application data. At work we have user data in Keycloack and application data in at least 20 different databases.
4GB? Those are rookie numbers. I have a site where /wp-content/ is 20GB. Tens if not hundreds of thousands of images that have been auto generated by WordPress because of how thumbnails and minifaction works, but also converting images to WebP. And if you delete old posts or any other content, the images stay.

And it’s my understanding that there is no safe way to remove unused images. I have tried to do it using the in-built media manager but eventually I gave up because it’s tedious and I don’t want to risk leaving pages without images by accident.
Some of the regulated ones still cause issues.

Yes.

The only surgical treatments I have had so far were all related to teeth: complicated extractions (including 3 of 4 wisdom teeth), a sinus lift, and 4 implants in total.

Everything done in local anaesthesia only. Unpleasant, but zero pain during the operation proper.
One interesting consequence of the Latin-Cyrillic split in America is that Cyrillic names got transliterated into English-understandable ones, whereas Polish Latin names often didn’t. With the result that the originally-Cyrillic names are actually easier to understand in daily life.

Compare for example, Kuznetsov (fairly easy to say in English) vs. Kwiatkowski (ported directly from Polish.)
I remember a time when WordPress was "easy". Nowadays starting from a clean install and customizing the appearance and modules has actually become quite difficult. Even the usage workflow feels bloated.

These days I prefer Dotclear as a blog engine. It also has grown in complexity over the years, but not quite as much and still feels like nothing is getting on your way.

This is from the point of view of someone knowing how to program and the languages involved (PHP, SQL, HTML, CSS, etc.) but who's not a professional web developer and even less a professional WordPress-based developer (since this is now actually a thing).
Wiki says:

> In 1994, an investment fund meltdown led to the criminal prosecution of treasurer Robert Citron. The county lost at least $1.5 billion through high-risk investments in bonds. The loss was blamed on derivatives by some media reports.[46] On December 6, 1994, the County of Orange declared Chapter 9 bankruptcy,[46] from which it emerged on June 12, 1996.[47] The Orange County bankruptcy was at the time the largest municipal bankruptcy in U.S. history.[46]
This is an excellent arrangement, I managed to do that when my local law allowed it, but then it was over and I couldn't find a single employer who would agree to 20% lower pay and one day a week off. It's a great pity, but that's reality.
It’s HN. This is where WordPress comes to get bashed :-)

Although - to be fair, I’m not seeing nearly as many anti-WP comments as you’d expect here - most people are being reasonably balanced with their criticisms.

As a long time WP agency owner I agree with a fair number of the comments.

My main beef now with the platform is that there are three fairly distinct types of WordPress in 2024.

1) “Classic” WordPress with no Gutenberg: great for data rich sites where you want many custom post types and taxonomies

2) “Gutenberg” WordPress for rich front end editing

3) “FSE” WordPress for quickly throwing up a one pager or simple brochureware site

I wish WP was a bit more vocal about explaining these types and how they differ. And in fact I think they’re sufficiently distinct that the installation path should be explicit about these types and which to choose.

There are of course endless things that really should be in core and not provided by plugins - it’s sometimes galling to have a team pushing endless changes out to Gutenberg when the underlying software doesn’t have obvious stuff. Page duplication, acf style custom field support, rich seo, sitemaps, better media handling, etc - all of this should just be there without plugins.

But - as said above, it’s easy to snipe and overall I bloody love most of the whole ecosystem :-)
Millennial Pause
Given the frequency with which local, state, and federal legislation is passed that objectively benefits a minority of ultra-wealthy individuals, I'd say the wealthy's collective effectiveness at farming out their problems to the public is not in question. See Also: the recent 1B USD subsidy to the shareholders and execs of PFAS producers in the form of EPA funding allocations for PFAS remediation projects around the country.
It's a bit of a chicken-and-egg problem. Major sites don't deploy IPv6 because "everyone has IPv4", and people don't roll out IPv6-only servers because they still want to be able to reach IPv4-only hosts.

Amazon has hopefully started a change in this mentality by charging money for every IPv4 address used. This creates a real financial incentive to deploy IPv6-only servers, which in turn means that critical services like Github and Linux mirrors are slowly forced to provide IPv6.
There are many fractals and variations of them. The Mandelbrot is definitely famous, but it is hard to say if it is "the best". Look for example at this strange creature: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burning_Ship_fractal
There are plenty of other examples of countries switching to a new alphabet, even when it would cut people off from their history. Turkish being a prime example. It has nothing to do with making life easier for Facebook engineers and I’m not sure what that has to do with anything. It has everything to do with what real people do in their daily lives, and what government institutions mandate.

These sarcastic replies are so tiresome and intellectually uncurious.

Yeah, but the law still sets the default baseline for he judge / jury / whatever. In the Nordic countries (at least Sweden) -- as techno-modern and bureaucratic as they may be -- that still includes verbal agreements.

(The handshake is probably not a legal requirement, though I suppose it could be taken into consideration as evidence -- "You even shook hands on it, so you must have realised that what you had just discussed were atually the terms you were agreeing to.")
> We should be working towards policies and solutions that foster more "market rate" affordable housing, not affordable housing via government programs or nonprofit organizations.

Why the 'not'? Those options are not mutually exclusive and are in fact complementary. Liberalising overly restrictive zoning laws across the USA can improve supply from all three sectors: for-profit, non-profit and local government, thus encouraging market-rate affordability.
I see, I didn’t know about Argentina.

I grew up in a border town bordering Uruguay and over there I’d definitely see folks carrying their personal thermos and cuia. But I would see groups on the Brazilian side of the border.
