Why would you be opposed to grid expansion?
Inspired by, certainly. The founders were not ignorant and were aware of precedent.

But calling it "almost copied word-for-word" is not justifiable. On a trivial basis, it's literally not word-for-word in any way. On a more serious basis, there are significant changes in the laws, and enshrining something in an Act which can be changed by future Parliaments is a lot different that enshrining something into a Constitution which is much harder to change.
I suspect every bespoke web-accessible CMS evolves towards some WordPress conventions over time.

I have built, I don’t know, four (or maybe five depending on your perspective, and not-including small app-specific systems) fairly solid CMSes in the last couple of decades, and installed them in different places, and maintained a few more.

But the ones that have survived the longest are the ones derived from the first, simplest PHP system I produced, which had solid authentication, a very simple page handler model and admin screen model, form handling thanks to a custom version of the legendary fillInFormValues code, etc.

Because it had such simple objectives and structures at the beginning, it has never been difficult to maintain, and it remains incredibly fast.

It is getting on for twenty years old, has gone through two wholesale ORM changes, has a JSON API, is managed with Composer, has CSS inlining support for its transactional emails, etc.

It has also ended up with WP style hooks and actions for the front end, which has allowed me to port my own live SCSS and JS compiler plugins more or less directly from my WP projects.

There is a lot to like about the flat simplicity of the WP hooks and actions model, and the way it can be implemented in other very simple page rendering CMSes. It’s more or less completely independent of plugin initialisation so it’s easy to add it regardless of the scheme in use there.

Even though I immediately see how my comment could be considered to be gatekeeping, I won't apologize for it, as I mostly mean to explain what I think was the meaning of the grandparent: that writing YAML for a living means you're a business user, not a software engineer. Just as you'd have to squint real hard to label a pro excel user as a software engineer. If everything is easy, you're not learning transferable skills.

And I hate YAML with a passion, too, an opinion which I feel I'm entitled to.
> Why would you use home-grade "servers" when a startup has access to a variety of cheap cloud solutions? What business market segment in a server space would these mini PCs occupy?

This is more of a hypothetical question. From simple use, the Beelink SER5 I have seems to have better performance than my 13-year-old Macbook Pro, so I was curious about the upper bound / limits of little machines like it.

May I ask what you mean by "a variety of cheap cloud solutions", do you refer to services such as DigitalOcean's Droplet and/or similar products?
I remember having 384KB symmetrical DSL in mid 2000 from Northpoint Communications, who would go out of business a few months later. I basically had business class service to my apartment because that it all they could provide, so I didn't complain. Obviously one of the first things I tested was Napster on my Bondi Blue iMac B computer and man could you download music so fast and easily!

> Again I ask you, point to something concrete which shows Bragg is a political operative instead of an independent DA. I’ll wait.

By his own admission, Bragg sued over 100 times to block Trump's policies. That's over 100 times he acted like a political operative instead of an independent (in the political sense) DA. How much more proof do you need?
> It used to be that there were hundreds of stars getting rich. Now there's Taylor Swift and... I can't name anyone else.

Just becaus you don’t know them doesn’t mean they don’t exist. There are way more than hundreds of “rock stars” that are getting rich now. There are also way more “rock stars” now than there ever was.
In the olden times (e.g. 1999) you would write HTML by hand (notepad.exe) the same as people write markdown today. It then works as a single thing to move around, I don't need to bring a second thing with me so reorganizing simple HTML files is easy. So if I am just going to write a one off document HTML with images and tables was the easiest (see very many professor websites, geocities, angelfire, etc). Once org-mode became the better version of this because it could export plain HTML I shifted to that personally but if org-mode didn't exist I probably would still be writing HTML directly when it comes to just typesetting tabular data vs dealing with Word/Google docs tables.

Automating writing HTML is also easy as you can just write to stdout directly, and if you are comfortable writing HTML by hand directly this is a simple uplift to automate things you did by hand.

This is why jQuery was so popular because you could just add it in to this vanilla HTML in a nice way. You didn't have to stand up some JS scaffolding and toolchain to get there. Even jQuery can get you to a situation away from WYSIWYG because you don't just need to render the DOM you now have to have a JS runtime evaluation. In some contexts you have something that can write a DOM from HTML but you have no JS, it was only when chromium embedding became popular and normalized you got both the HTML and the JS together, for a long time you only got the HTML.

Finally, direct HTML will work as-is forever but JavaScript is a moving target. Some terrible websites I wrote in raw HTML work today after 20 yrs (admittedly 1024x768 optimizations didn't age well) but many JS things I have written have not had that longevity or require standing up a long dead development framework to get going again.

> We used to have the right to copy whatever we wanted and be accountable to no one.

Unless you copied something of value to a rich and powerful person, in which case your accountability would likely be quite high.

Also, "copying" before 1790 meant something rather different than cp(1).
17% in California though,and probably even lower if you look at specific counties near cities. Income is relative.
They're using a very unproven analysis approach, although it's their biased study selection that worries me more. You can prove anything you want if you creatively select mainly the studies that favor your desired conclusions. They didn't even use the 2020 study that I linked. They also didn't use a famous study from 2009 (PMID: 19620159) which showed harm. These are just the two that I could identify quickly.
It’s such a tough thing. To me my life is worth infinite money and every possible dollar I can get ahold of. If that applied to everyone then we go literally bankrupt and spend every available dollar of GDP very quickly.

> it was developed in a clinical setting for children with epilepsy to reproduce the benefits of fasting - which has been known for thousands of years to prevent seizures - while providing a long term solution and not deprive children of calories.

I don't know why people still use this as any sort of argument for keto in the general population. Most people are not children with epilepsy and even for children, the keto/low carb diets has many downsides most notably growth retardation, kidney stones and bone mineral loss.
>She got hacked a couple of times, but no biggie, she was also back on track after just a support ticket to her hosting provider.

Nice provider :D

I have the same sentiment about Wordpress. I see a lot of criticisms for the Gutenberg editor after they deprecated TinyMCE and I can't understand it. You can easily write your own WYSIWYG widgets if you know React.

A lot of other CMS's just lack the ability to insert random blocks into the HTML or are purely markdown-based. If I can't Ctrl+K and search the name of a page to add a link, it's not even content-manage-y, it's more like a page rendering engine.

After writing a lot of things in Wordpress I went to write something in Reddit and it made me miss Gutenberg. I start a code block, how do I leave the code block? Pressing enter twice doesn't work??? If I click the code block button, the whole code block disappears! Can I type a paragraph before the code block and press an arrow button to push it forward? I can't. And even the toolbar doesn't stay on the screen on desktop if the post is too long, it stays on top of the textbox!

There's a lot of work put into Gutenberg to make it intuitive and versatile. Perhaps the most important lesson, UI-wise, one could take from it, that I have been noticing in good UIs lately, is that there should be multiple ways to perform the same task. There are at least 4 different ways to move a block in Gutenberg. In most editors, it's only cut and paste.
Lowering housing prices will put many mortgages underwater. We are seeing the fallout from this today in CRE and across all properties in 2008.

Today, affordable housing means someone takes a loss. In new housing, the builder or the lender could take the loss but they won't start a project unless they are guaranteed to make a profit, which means the property owner takes the loss.

Deflating prices on existing housing means either the lender (ha!) or the homeowner takes the loss. An additional impact of deflating housing costs is that there may not be any equity for major repairs like roofing or medical expenses.

How so, when most of these products are digital to begin with? If you have the quality of the studio master, then there’s nothing to improve.
What's with those Chinese names (see both https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/faq.html#asian and https://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/vita.pdf)? Why did they become part of his identity?
Individual component tests (which absolutely do happen, but can be done by the contractor themselves, prior to installation and as part of any normal engineering process) aren't enough. All EM systems influence one another in some way and only integration testing allows you to verify the correct operation of these systems together.
The exception to that is retired people. Everyone else needs to worry about job opportunities and schools for their kids.
Maybe, but getting fractional charges out of a system with charges that are integer multiples of the electron charge is no mean feat, and I want to understand the math behind this in detail. Someone knows, but I haven't found any clear explanations.
"just halving" is a radical change that will never happen on a short timeline.

With a more realistic number of 2% (for the US), you are talking about a 35% reduction in Price/income in 20 years. I think that is a very optimistic case to shoot for socially and politically.
I've definitely discovered less new artists as I've aged. I'm near 50 now and last year only added Röyksopp, and Sleaford Mods, to my regular listening playlist. But I'm also still listening to new stuff by many artists like Aesop Rock, Orbital, and The Chemical Brothers.

I don't follow radio or popular music at all. However if I hear something I like, the supercomputer in my pocket tells me just what it is so I can discover new music that way.
I extremely dislike the Hutter Prize. I think it's generally agreed that intelligence compresses the model better & therefore it's reasonable to assume that the better the compression, the more intelligence you have (at least for now where we are with AI, this seems to be a roughly reasonable assumption). My problem with the Hutter prize is that it makes the leap to say that lossless compression is this when everything about AI is choosing how much error you're willing to tolerate. In other words, intelligence is linked to lossy compression, not lossless - a competition for lossless compression doesn't do anything more than get us better lossless compressors / decompressors.

Techies are the ones who actually understand how things work & how to design them. Maybe the LLMs will help write the code (I'm skeptical) but this insistence that knowing anything will be obsolete is a horrible evil lie to tell youngsters. It's not well backed up at all either. Stop reposting this garbage.
The behavior in Java and C++ is just a different philosophy of what exceptions mean, that is what I was trying to say. The semantics of an exception in these languages is that functions should either return a simple type or throw an exception if they are unable to return that type for whatever reason (be it a bug, an unmet precondition, a temporary error, an unmet postcondition, etc).

Exceptions are not extraordinary events, and it is certainly never appropriate to stop execution because some exception was raised: the program itself is supposed to, at the right level, specify what should happen when an exception is encountered.

The difference between different levels of error, such as fatal errors vs others, is captured by the type of the exception itself.

This all has little to do with Java's checked exceptions support. That is a feature that is supposed to help with verification that the program indeed specifies what to do when an exception happened, for certain classes of errors that are considered more likely to occur in production. C#, which learned from both C++ and Java, doesn't include these, but still has the same semantics for exceptions.
The most likely is that that one person the Bible is about never existed.

By its nature, pop art and culture reduce itself to the common expectations of everyone. And as such has only few knobs to tune. But humans can appreciate a wide range of qualities and the more you play on these dimensions, the more reduced the people that will "get" it and appreciate it.

GenAI can be great for pop art, but try to create something unique to you or another person, and it will fail miserably.
I think its different type of marketing though. I'm perfectly fine with resume marketing as I'm getting jobs left and right in this climate and needed to reject some offers.

I'm OK with sales too, although I usually ended up persuading the other side not to buy our products, so I ended up giving up a career in stock broking 10 years ago.

On the other hand, I have never been good with dates. It's a completely different set of mindsets and skills IMO.
That explains having a 50% chance of seeing an electron somewhere, not seeing an entity of charge 1/2. It's like a weather report saying there's a 50% chance of rain doesn't mean you're going to see little raindrops cut in half.

It's the adage: your users don't care about your tech stack.

In the time it takes for you to learn jekyll or hugo, someone with a wordpress blog already wrote 30 articles. When you finally figure out static hosting, 50 posts. When you finally make something with it that you wouldn't be able to do with vanilla wordpress, they will have their first user. :P

Napster helped motivate and justify all sorts of nasty DRM and legislation, which has adverse implications for more than just piracy.

And at the time of the MP3 frenzy, there were a relatively small number of people saying, "Wait, won't this mean a backlash of adversarial laws and technology that make things bad for everyone?"

But that was ignored by the masses of newly-arrived Internet users wanting to take stuff for free.

Nonsense. First, "Russian dezinformatsiya techniques" is more specific, and specifically related to the current events. Second, no one owns them, they're not copyrighted or anything. Third, "leftist" is far more vague. Fourth, Russia has used these techniques for centuries; so if you must go with some kind of large group, if anything it'd be 'Royalist Techniques', predating the Russian revolution.

A comment in a keto/low carb discussion believing in a statin conspiracy? shocked.

I'm not on Keto. I'm not on an actual low carb diet. I'm just not afraid of eating lots of good fats. I'm not afraid of eggs or cream any longer.

I don't believe in a "statin conspiracy". There's no conspiracy needed. We've seen over and over again with lots of things that companies favor funding research that shows something that sells their product or they outright lie (sorry "do marketing"). Leaded gasoline? Milk is good for you, make your children drink more? Butter is bad?

The statins causing muscle cramps are a fact and not a conspiracy. I got statins in ever increasing dosages because they didn't help. When the cramps started, my doctor took me off statins. When I then did try Keto all of my blood markers that were either bad or borderline went into completely normal territory. Except for lipids that did the usual "hover around some really high and absolutely bad for you territory".

Again, a datum of one. But when all the things done to me with evidence from statistically relevant studies and research doesn't help and actually makes things worse but the statistically not significant thing works to improve all of the markers of statistically proven blood testing, then this anecdotal internet person here will stick with what works. YMMV as always.

Entirely irrelevant

My anecdotal datum of one was marked as such. On purpose. No need for this entirely irrelevant comment of yours. The person I replied to did not and drew a wide ranging societally generalizing argument from his datum of one.
We can have a very different outcome with the right policies. Instead of natural gas peaker plants raking in more than 90% of the pricing, that money can go to people directly -- who can supply power from solar panels on their roofs and from their car batteries connected to the grid (V2G). A powerwall is a small battery (13.5 KWH), car batteries are 100KWH, with 250+ mile range. Only 1% of trips are over 70 miles, for 99% of the trips the battery is a LOT more than required. Just carving out a small portion of car battery to supply power back to the grid can net a lot of money (no need to install powerwalls): https://electrek.co/2023/07/05/tesla-electric-customers-repo...

So far, folks have only been doing rooftop solar, but vertical solar is just as efficient, if not more. If we break the utility monopolies, people will put in vertical panels (fences, walls facing west, etc) and supply solar power during peak demand until sunset.
