Writers/editors really, really like Wordpress for some reason, which is like 40% of the Internet, add to that all the other Php stuff. At $DAY_JOB we have a Wordpress instance behind our VPN and use the json API to send the articles to a front-end server written in something else. Forces us to duplicate some of the front-end plugin code (and we try to not use many) but we get peace of mind in exchange.

Google getting sued again and losing again and drag their feet to unlock it again while devising a new way to go against the court order again.

Matt, you shouldn't have picked a FLOSS license if you didn't intend for the software to be FLOSS in the first place.

Same here. Luckily you can show two apps at the same time in Android so I just put the password manager above the bank's app.

I was expecting to see some cool spy stuff in government's PS1 env vars not slop induced schizophrenia.

The people making the video are already making the information public, you are just making it more convenient. This strikes me as similar to downloading public court documents from a government site to make them available outside of their for-profit service.

When was this? I've only seen this "anti-rust" vibe in the past few weeks, guess triggered by the Bun rewrite. Zig people usually will tell you to use the right tool for the job over shilling the language or that you don't need to use it yet (if you want a stable language/documentation) the language will be there if you want to check it in a few years.

5 years.

The language itself will probably stabilize in maybe 3 years. The last things they'll do is work on the std lib, documentation, spec. That will take time but the language will be ready before then.

I like the terminal aesthetics but please, for accessibility's sake, make input boxes look more like input boxes and buttons look like buttons.

Removes a barrier of entry if you can look at it from a browser instead of installing a CLI/TUI.

Don't try to make me install a random program if I can view it in my sandboxed browser safely.

Also, browsers have greasemonkey to help me personalize websites easily. TUIs don't.

To me it feels more like the old "this site only supports IE6". Instead of checking which JS engine the user has, check for specific api support and fail gracefully.
