Automattic benefits greatly from their close relationship to Wordpress. Using the power they have to threaten a commercial competitor that has a good reputation in the community will push the Wordpress community to reevaluate that relationship. The contributions Automattic makes to Wordpress are valuable but valuable contributions do not excuse bad behaviour. Souring the relationship between Automattic and Wordpress is a major blunder, which Matt will be responsible for. If Automattic lose their preferential treatment and are forced to compete with WPE based only on service then they will be crushed because Automattic’s offerings are not as good — there’s a reason Matt is so sensitive about WPE. Automattic are just as dependent on venture capital as WPE, even more so because of how their business has been losing focus. Automattic’s value is based on its relationship with Wordpress, whereas WPE’s is entirely based on the service. Matt is threatening Automattic’s most valuable asset, removing him may be seen as the only option to rescue the relationship.

As an aside, people don’t usually act like this when things are going good. Perhaps Matt is lashing out because of pressure he is already under.

edit: and to close the loop, Matt is demanding benevolence from WPE that Automattic themselves don’t engage in. Automattic own the Wordpress.com domain and promote their hosting service through Wordpress.org (which causes the exact confusion Matt accuses WPE of benefiting from). The money Automattic spend on supporting Wordpress project is not a donation, it’s quid pro quo. Would WPE pay $10m a year to own all that? Of course, any rational company in the space would… but that’s not what Matt is offering.

Maybe, maybe not; this would be very load dependent.
The concept of “wanting to do something” is complicated. What you typically see is a desire that someone has at long range (“I want to go to the gym tomorrow”) that undergoes preference inversion at close range (“it is now tomorrow, and I don’t want to go to the gym in the next 2 hours”)

The point of habit formation regimes is to reduce the chances of this inversion, but if you pick up a regime and pursue habits that you conceive of yourself not even wanting to do, you are unlikely to succeed. There are plenty of habits you’d benefit from that you DO want to do, and you should start with those.
I think your question answers itself if you look from the perspective of a non-technical marketing person who's used to WYSIWYG tools, rather than a programmer who's reading a site called Hacker News.

I once was using an iPhone alarm clock which would only stop ringing when I took a picture of a specific item that I registered before (I chose an eraser that was on my desk at that time). When the alarm triggered, the app persistently increased the volume to the max, put itself into the foreground, and did a bunch of other tricks to force me to take the picture of that item.

I then went on a vacation and guess what I did not bring. Took me a while and a few tries to uninstall the app. That was the only way how to stop it. Because the app always put itself to the front, I only had a small window to switch to the sprinboard and delete the app. It was not easy, and if the app had a slightly better timing it would've been impossible.

I understand that any officially sanctioned means to circumvent a block may be misused, but perhaps there's a good reason why the person may want to get around the block. Such as, I do not want to wake up the whole airplane that I'm on with the obnoxiously loud alarm clock because I forgot my eraser at home.
Elevenlabs started rolling out a generator for very basic sound effects. Using it made me wonder what the application for things like this would be. If it was realtime it could be used for games but then there is the lack of predictable quality control.

For (cinematic) sounddesign the quality is not nearly good enough yet. For simple home-style videos dozens of (more fun) options exist - foley, free sound libraries, freesound.org, going out with a phone and record stuff.

Detecting Video-Conference Deepfakes with a Smartphone's 'Vibrate' Function
Sorry could you expand on this, how can they "put a banner in [...] WordPress instances hosted by WPE"?

I was under the assumption that WordPress is OSS, and WPEngine is running this software on their platform, so there was an update to this software, contributed by Automattic developers which included a banner denouncing WPE, and the WPE people decided to just deploy that update to their platform?

I don't think that means they "put the banner on their instance" does it? If they are unhappy with the management of the open source software they are using on their platform they presumably could fork it, or decide to not deploy the version that includes this banner, no?

That's what Steve Jobs used to say and that's why Apple phones were 3.5 inches until he died. Who uses a 3.5 inch phone now? In fact small phones basically don't exist anymore. There were credit card or cigarette lighter sized phones that weighed under an ounce but they were 2G GSM, so now they are e-waste. There is nothing to replace them. Meanwhile the Unihertz Tank 2 weighs about a pound (22,000 mAH battery) and it's imho attractive, except too expensive.

Maybe this is normal, but we're glorified animals trying to find justice out of a made up process. It's arbitrary, hence arbitration. Not a lawyer either. You probably know more terminology than I do; I just deal with them a lot :/

edit: I think it's a little strange to be placing judgements at this stage. We'll hear the facts if this goes to court. There's enough to know several are upset. Another consideration: by placing the numbers you're kind of trying to make their argument. Why? Let them.

Microsoft YARP: Yet Another Reverse Proxy
That can seem like a big deal at first, but it's pretty normal since these things are at the cutting edge of technology. Theories or highly simplified versions of experimental techniques are often proposed decades before the technology finally catches up to the level where those theories can be properly tested, or where those experimental techniques can be performed at a useful level.

For example, a lot of the technology needed to make the JWST did not exist when work on it started, it was developed specifically for JWST, or happened to be developed as they were working on it. Same goes for a lot of the capabilities of particle accelerators.

I don't think so. It takes into consideration the wishes of the living, the feelings of the family of the dead, hell, even (to a point) the known wishes of the dead while they were still alive. It just acknowledges that there's no value in making an assumption about how the dead would feel when there's no way to know and no family alive to express an opinion.

It says that rather than protect the imagined feelings of people long dead that the greater harm would be in preventing their portrayal in future educational and cultural works.

Of course, you seem to think we can ignore the consent problem entirely and we're morally in the clear if we only have a human actor portray them without asking, but where is the line? If the actor carefully studies their speech and mannerisms is it okay? Is it okay if they (purely through the lottery of random genetic mutation) strongly resemble the person they are portraying? Does it become immoral when prosthetics are used to enhance the likeness? When CGI is used is it still okay provided that human does the work?

At a certain point the ability to portray an important dead actor or historical person matters more than protecting our assumptions about how the dead might feel about showing up in a creative work.

It really feels like the objection here is about the AI more than concern for the dead, or for that matter concern for the cultural works we'd risk losing if we made it illegal for AI portrayals to be used when there's no one left to ask, and that's all I'm really saying.

If someone is alive, by all means require their permission. When they are dead ask the family. If it's in their will that should never be represented in any way in any kind of media ever again... we might want to try to respect that but also might not... that gets rather complicated, but certainly when there's no way to ask the actor and no family left to ask or care then it seems pretty reasonable not to cut people off from the creation of content which might have artistic or educational value.
Just because it can be measured, doesn't mean it should be.

These 'measures' would be much more useful if they were used to determine the control limits of the software process being used.

'hours from pull request to merge' for an open source project is silly. who cares? 'number of commits a month'? who cares. what is the value of those commits.

why the focus on 'constant churn of software'? I don't see it.

The PostgreSQL parser, exposed for Node.js
True. Maybe I've not put it clear: neither the article nether me were arguing for separated elements. The so called best practice here is exactly as you put it: nest the elements but (sadly) duplicate the relation in attributes, in order to make the two screen readers / voice controls happy.

I've brought up it here just because parent comment stated what perhaps majority of developers believe:

> [nesting] completely avoids [possible gaps in the UI areas] and you don't need to come up with a unique id to use with 'for'.

As for separated elements here, I can imagine scenarios when we need them too (for example if you need to shuffle them in some way, or intend to use a pseudo element of the label), but as noted, it is rarely best solution and requires way more scrutiny and complexity.

Dark matter is an observed discrepancy between measurements. There appears to be a lot of unaccounted-for mass, based on many experimental results. There are several theories as to what that observed discrepancy could be caused by. This is a well-covered topic, anywhere you could hope to learn about astrophysics. What it may sound like to you is not what it is.

I'd recommend watching a video from PBS Spacetime if you want to learn about it. They have several.

That’s pretty much the entire point of tools like these - it’s trivially easy to subdivide a polygon, but non-trivially easy to do so while maintaining various constraints, like clearance sizes, connectivity, daylighting requirements, structural requirements, etc etc.

For now, I use Lombok's @Builder annotation. It makes it much easier to create and copy a record, where non-assigned attributes are set to default.

Example:

var bmw = Car.builder().make("BMW").build()

It also has a practical toBuilder() syntax that creates a copy of the original record, with some attributes changed

var other = bmw.toBuilder().year(2024).build()
Whatever you do, do not get suckered into buying a bunch of machines right at the outset. They're loud, expensive, often dangerous and there's no limit to how many you might need.

Start with small projects and hand tools. People have been building beautiful things with a small variety hand tools for centuries and the lack of noise alone changes the entire experience.

I spent a couple years buying books and watching YT, especially Paul Sellers[0] before building anything at all.

The reality is that fine woodworking is a craft and takes years to master (I certainly have not mastered it), but one can create objects pretty quickly that feel wonderful to hold.

When you do get down to buying machines, a decent track saw can be much more versatile (and space efficient) than a table saw for a first purchase. FWIW, I have both and use the track saw 2-3 times more frequently because it's easier (though much slower) to safely and accurately break down large sheet stock. It's also the only Festool product I own.
