41,805,203 | comment | GavinAnderegg | 2024-10-11T01:17:01 | null | This is so bizarre. I saw this first on the Automattic blog: <a href="https://wordpress.org/news/2024/10/spoon/" rel="nofollow">https://wordpress.org/news/2024/10/spoon/</a><p>It’s curious why Matt Mullenweg would be hyping this up when it contains “WP” in the name, like WP Engine. “FreeWP” sounds just as much like something that would cause brand confusion.<p>Also, the FreeWP announcement post seems like a manifesto to remove Matt from stewardship of WordPress and to start some sort of class action lawsuit. With bits like:<p><pre><code> “On the legal front, I’ve secured a suite of domains for WP Class Action. This independent initiative aims to address the issues plaguing our community head-on.”
</code></pre>
and<p><pre><code> “Change isn’t just coming — it’s here. Consider this your wake-up call to those who’ve held the reins for too long. FreeWP stands ready to ensures WordPress remains free, open, and genuinely community-centric.”
</code></pre>
Is Matt just really trying to promote forking of software? Is he hoping people point and laugh at FreeWP? Does he want the project to get off the ground so he can go after them with trademark claims? It doesn’t make sense to me. | null | null | 41,804,706 | 41,804,706 | null | [

I guess my gripe is that the time-consuming and expensive training process isn’t able to reliably elevate a random young practitioner to the helpfulness level of “wise and patient professor who is offering their time to mentor and counsel even though it’s not in their job description”… but that is in fact a very high bar to hit.<p>It’s not surprising that some people are naturally good therapists just from a lifetime of observing people, and also not surprising that some of those people end up in teaching-focused academic jobs.<p>I guess you can train people to be empathetic if they’re motivated in the right ways but just lacking the skill. It makes sense that it’s a big part of counselor training. | null | null | 41,805,066 | 41,780,328 | null | null | null | null |

41,805,207 | comment | JoeDaDude | 2024-10-11T01:17:31 | null | When I took an AI class, the first thing they taught was Prolog and for exercises we all had to write adventure/colossal cave style games in it. Prolog turned out be well suited to the task. The variety of simple games made in the class was astounding and I wish I could have collected the all the games made by the other students. We only spent a couple of weeks before moving on to other topics, like CLIPS and Lisp. In my own assignment, I made a Bureaucratic Maze [1], again, fairly straightforward in Prolog.<p>[1]. <a href="http://logicmazes.com/bureau/index.htm" rel="nofollow">http://logicmazes.com/bureau/index.htm</a> | null | null | 41,800,764 | 41,800,764 | null | [

I'm vaguely aware of finite domain something or other but curious about the affordances prolog has for using different solvers over different parts of your codebase.<p>At first guess, I would imagine this could look like writing down known constraints on the solution as a kind of "type declaration". | null | null | 41,804,651 | 41,800,764 | null | [

41,805,231 | comment | amluto | 2024-10-11T01:24:21 | null | > synthetic fuels can't compare with battery EVs in terms of energy efficiency,<p>This is almost meaningless. If you are turning renewable energy sources into either synthetic fuel or grid power, then efficiency is irrelevant. What matters is cost (of the whole system, including distribution of the energy) and emissions (burning even carbon-neutral methane or hydrogen isn’t quite zero emission). There are startups working synthesizing fuels from air and solar energy, and they argue, fairly convincingly, that bypassing the entire electrical distribution network can more than make up for extremely low efficiency.<p>Also, heavier vehicles likely emit more brake and tire dust than lighter vehicles, and a series hybrid can be much lighter than a long range BEV. | null | null | 41,804,106 | 41,757,808 | null | null | null | null |

Which is why it's completely bonkers that there is a trademark dispute since they provide managed Wordpress hosting so using WordPress to describe providing WordPress hosting is normal and expected. | null | null | 41,805,203 | 41,804,706 | null | [

41,805,257 | comment | mncharity | 2024-10-11T01:31:01 | null | > In December 1940, [...] the British were no longer able to pay for supplies. [...] Lend-Lease [...] supplies it needed to fight Germany, but would not insist upon being paid immediately<p>> Instead, the United States would “lend” the supplies to the British, deferring payment. When payment eventually did take place, the emphasis would not be on payment in dollars. The tensions and instability engendered by inter-allied war debts in the 1920s and 1930s had demonstrated that it was unreasonable to expect that virtually bankrupt European nations would be able to pay for every item they had purchased from the United States. Instead, payment would primarily take the form of a “consideration” granted by Britain to the United States. After many months of negotiation, the United States and Britain agreed, in Article VII of the Lend-Lease agreement they signed, that this consideration would primarily consist of joint action directed towards the creation of a liberalized international economic order in the postwar world.[1]<p>EDIT: Oops - that article refers to postwar loans. The TFA might be referring to non-lend-lease wartime debt. But that might have been refinanced by... It's late. Edit about to expire.

But you said it was a direct threat to YOUR health — is it really? Are you a poor woman in a red state? If not, while you can give a damn, my point was that people are unable to disagree these days because they make everything so personal - as if you are in direct serious threat - when perhaps that is an exaggeration that is being caused by our media.<p>The Poland example: sure, you have no vote there. But do you feel the same DIRECT THREAT? Are you any more likely to need an abortion in Alabama than Poland? While perhaps you have more of an ability to impact Alabama policies by voting, is it really more of a threat? And how much does your vote even matter; are you talking about a national election and live in a non swing state? If so, your money and activism could probably be spent just as well influencing Alabama or Polish views.<p>On the weighting of the fetus’ life - let’s say it had equal weight (and ignore the question of when life starts)? Wouldn’t the abortion certainly kill the fetus and only possibly kill the mother? Isn’t it the therefore liberals who weight the mother’s life more?<p>On your last point, it’s up to your neighbors whether you get an abortion because that’s how government works. If, solely for the sake of argument, you concede that a fetus is a real life the same as a baby, can you not see why a government should have a say over abortion? There are two competing lives at stake. | null | null | 41,805,158 | 41,804,460 | null | [

I see it as a very insecure behavior: token lives forever and can be abused forever. This violates one of the security best practices of limited token lifetime.<p>But both Lucia and "Copenhagen Book" encourages this practice [1]:<p>```

I had to make several personal websites in high school and college, that were just HTML and maybe a little CSS (or just old HTML styles). This should be everyone’s first step, imo. It’s a great way to write something and see results quickly and easily. It doesn’t even need a server. | null | null | 41,803,413 | 41,801,334 | null | null | null | null |
41,805,299 | comment | mthoms | 2024-10-11T01:39:49 | null | >The next day, in a post titled, “WP Engine is not WordPress,” Mullenweg wrote that even his mother didn’t know the difference, and he said WP Engine is “profiting off of the confusion” and “needs a trademark license to continue their business.”<p>>His mom wasn’t the only one confused.<p>>Bob Perkowitz, president of environmental nonprofit ecoAmerica, told CNBC that he’s known Mullenweg for 16 years and is even an investor in Automattic. For a number of his organizational and personal websites, Perkowitz said he’s long been a WP Engine customer. Tuning in remotely, he heard Mullenweg’s WordCamp presentation.<p>>“I always thought that was part of WordPress,” Perkowitz told CNBC in an interview, referring to WP Engine. “They’re misleading, and they don’t contribute to the community.”<p>>Perkowitz said he’s having his website administrator migrate all of the websites to different hosting companies.<p>Can you imagine being a 'journalist' and using an Automattic <i>investor</i> and personal friend of Matt's as a source to support the claim about WPEngine being misleading? I mean, seriously? Who cares what this guy thinks, he's hardly neutral (or even well informed).<p>Besides, does anyone believe someone would invest in <i>the</i> WordPress hosting company and then <i>pay</i> to host his sites somewhere else? I don't buy it. Not for a second. | null | null | 41,803,264 | 41,803,264 | null | [
