But long term, that's good: we have only one spaceship (earth) in the end, that's the one we have to take extreme care of.

Though I believe the cost of education isn't the only explanation I also think it's unwise to ignore systemic problems, blaming and prosecuting individuals won't make them disappear.

I have to google the definition of the marmite word in English because in my first language it means something like cauldron or pot.

Definitely a faux-ami.

Here's a trick of mine: choose a key hat with a colour matching the door. It's easier to tell them apart, especially when you hand the key-chain to a friend.

I am under the impression that tiny houses value decrease over time though.

Hey, they have a new logo !

So, is the next step to capture wp-migrate (or another prominent WPEngine plugin) or to update the core to degrade ACF pro ?

The slug hasn't changed so it will receive updates (from SCF repository, now under the control of Automattic).

If you used ACF pro then the plug-in is downloaded from ACF website.

But.

The obvious next move is to put code in the core that would degrade ACF pro.

That list isn't deep enough. These are CMS alternatives, not WordPress alternatives.

I need a WordPress alternative to/with the following requirements:

- self-hostable

- opensource core (paid plugins are not a problem)

  - so it can be installed and intensively tested without shelling too much money just for R&D

- has ACF equivalent

- has a visual composer à la Gutenberg, a middle-ground between WordPad editing interface and Divi/Elementor

  - so the marketing/press department can push content fast

- REST API

  - to hydrate stuff

- optional: needs to have been around for 5 years

- optional: needs to still be around in 5 years

Ghost has no ACF apparently (https://forum.ghost.org/t/custom-fields-for-posts/1124/46 and https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/9020) and Astro is too custom as of now and I don't want another Gatsby (too short-lived).

> > "Statamic.... I think if the cofounder hadn't brazenly endorsed a horrendously damaging politician, I'd have tried it."

> All aboard the facepalm express. Is it too much to ask to keep politics out of software recommendations and social media version announcement updates?

One on hand (the business side and the being-a-professional side), I do agree, on the other hand (ethics ?) I disagree that tech should get a free pass regarding political concerns. Overall, I think this sentence could have been phrased more professionally/politely, 14yo sarcasm is annoying. Something like "I can't recommend Statamic for personal reasons." (I know it's still a political statement but it feels less childish and more personal). I know it's a meta and larger debate and that HN as a whole wants/needs (to maintain its level of discussion) to talk about tech without the political implications or concerns but these concerns are still there, I think hinting at it is okay, making it the whole talk is annoying for everyone. /meta

> All aboard the facepalm express.

That still puts a smile on my face 15 minutes later :D

That feature hasn't been around for very long though (12 months ? two years ?)

Doesn't WordPress officially only support the two latest minor version release though ? I can't find an official source at the moment but a quick googling seems to confirm that.

Rings like that would have been a game changer for early navigation.

> I live by this principle: If it takes you more than 30 seconds to test a change, you're going to have a huge productivity drain.

> That means writing a test should be easy and running it should be fast (including any compilation steps). As soon as something takes more than 30 seconds, you've lost a lot of people. They've switched tabs. They're on HN or reddit or they've pulled out their phone.

And here I am, compiling tailwind CSS on a blade based template consisting of hundreds of partials. ~30 seconds then refresh. FML.

Hey, I got bitten by iconv writing PHP.

I haven't updated the twitter app just to keep the bird (no, more like I find the X ugly), mayyyybe I can make this phone last long enough so I never actually see the X.

I was recently made aware of this:

> The 13th Amendment made chattel slavery and involuntary servitude unconstitutional, yet it included an insidious exception: “Except as a punishment for a crime.” This simple exception means instead of eliminating slavery, the 13th Amendment, ironically, extended it into perpetuity.

Almost there :).

Oh, I remember now. I was wondering why ACF didn't become part of the core.

Is there a list of wordpres plugins WPEngine actively maintain ?

Is there a list ?

> After 70 years of working with fission reactors, we know how to build and operate them at 95%+ efficiency (https://www.energy.gov/ne/articles/what-generation-capacity).

France would like your phone number.

> That’s a meaningless line.

That absolute is actually intellectually shoddy to me when parent is clearly using "could" and the slope to indicate it's around 20°, not at 20°. It doesn't really matter what the error margin is if it's low enough.

Let's try another analogy: of course the patient looks fine, but he's cancer terminal and in his last weeks. Tests are showing his internals are fucked up beyond certain thresholds. Yeah, they are smiling and talking but it's over, they are dead in two weeks top.

Omae wa mou.

> I don't, however think folks are being manipulated: I think that the fundamental authoritarian move is that folks here have manipulated themselves. To me, that's close to the point of 1984.

Yes. It's rare to find people online who understand this point of 1984, that everyone becomes big brother and that's how it (it being the oppressive system in place to keep people in check) sustains itself.

Hello, I recently read in the comment section on HN that the waves at Nazare are more like 30 meters high. Maybe you mixed up meters and feet ? Just to let you know, in case you didn't notice the other comments. Cheers, mate.

> We would not have the mess of UI with thousands of toolkits, the infamous env var windows staying unusable for decades, the right click "more option" in W11 that changes theme mid-flight.

> We wouldn't have had the awful windows media player that couldn't read anything without a pack of spyware installed in the 90'. Or IE6 being frozen into obsolescence. Or ads in the start menu.

> Teams file sharing and chat would not suck. Word would not destroy your layout because you move an image on pixel on the left. Access wouldn't produce the most corruptible db ever. The File explorer would not start in 7 seconds randomly in some machines (see last twitter trend), and its search would actually be useful.

> The wizard to fix your internet issues would have solved a problem at least once. MS would not allow tons of crapware to be installed by 3rd party. Python in the windows store would not have been made non standard.

> We wouldn't have to wait 2020 to have an upgrade to the terminal. The registry would be self documenting. Skype wouldn't have been destroyed after being bought. You would be able to get to your user directory easily out of the box. Cortana would be useful. Surface wouldn't run to crawl because they would be optimized for their hardware.

> Meanwhile, people actually tackling the issue are making impressive strides in the right direction. You want to solve global warming? Go do research on cleaner tech. Throwing soup at paintings is a pointless waste of time.

Ahem, https://scientistrebellion.org/

> It’s a useless way of tackling the issue. You won’t magically convince the global population to have a worse life especially considering inequalities are so high. You go tell the Nigerian that they should accept to die of starvation (the country feeds itself through oil export and its population is booming) because sadly the USA polluted too much. It’s all for the greater good after all.

These things are going to happen unless we transi... no, wait, that's too late... unless we learn to adapt and actually adapt.

What a brilliant gotcha ! /s

> Capitalism is about capital. It's an economic system that says individuals should own things (i.e. control their purpose) by investing money (capital) into them.

Yes. It's not about stealing land and kicking people out and raising sheep there instead. That (stealing) happens of course but is totally independent from any capitalist system.

JFC, the same sentence could have been said with communism in mind.

> You attempted to correct the previous commenter, but provided an incorrect definition. I hope that clears up the relevance issue for you.

You are confusing the intent of capitalism - which I gave the general direction of - with its definition. Does that clear up the relevance issue for you ? Did I fucking not write wealth/money intentionally ?

I tried to build some hobby stuff with it (mostly worked), planning to use it instead of mongodb @work but I got hit by the limitations of the JS engine version used at the time and it got frustrating too fast for a small hobbyist project. The mongodb/couchdb thing at work was cancelled so I didn't spend more time with it.

People behind it are really, really nice though.

One of the top (the top I think ?) obsidian sync plugin uses it.
