The thousands of developers making a living mostly off of WordPress development would probably disagree with you.

It's low hanging fruit, not a lot of effort for decent return.

With the coming REST API and possibly some new ways of obviating the dashboard and the TinyMCE editor WordPress is headed in a great direction.

I wonder if this will somehow improve the quality of WooThemes' themes?

Sounds like a typical first generation new device from Apple.

Generally, 1st generation new devices have low benefit to cost ratios, are trying to enter a market with the absolute minimum requirements, and the successive generations will include some kind of hardware bit that makes the device much more useful.

Patterns, transperency and lots and lots of time.

The biggest problem always seems to be human intervention and the expectation of how much and where a human might intervene in any play.

In addition, there are global sliders which have some kind of effect on performance. Whether these are just offsetting player attributes or introducing some other factor I'm not sure.

My personal gripe with the latest offering is that recievers most of the time will make no serious effort to catch a ball. They are on-rails to a catch point and do little else.

I'm happily working towards that now.

Oh I'm sure it would, but it would be far better than my current situation.

I'd be happy enough just working at Apple.

I (American) was born in 1980 and I clearly remember being told that the Soviets and their Evil Empire were going to kill us all some day. It was a time where calling someone a 'communist' was not just a rhetorical device, but an actual insult.

This was a common thread from school, to the news to my family. People were worried about the communists still and the rapidly degenerating situation in the USSR only increased the worry.

Maybe he just wants to engage with #Brands.

Stacey is like Kirby without a web interface. You manage content by dropping text files into directories. It's not inelegant. Admin interfaces can be just as poor for representing content as anything else (see: TinyMCE/WordPress) so once you get a client used to the workflow it isn't much of a hassle.

It's not like you're forcing them to build jekyll.

Yes, though I will occasionally unblock certain sites.

Primarily I use ad/script blockers as an extra layer of security.

The current battery tech is holding the entire world back. The next market revolution will come with new power generation (battery) tech that allows us to not worry about charging things every 5 hours.

I have the same thought as you, what Tesla may accomplish as a company may not be affordable electric vehicles but leaps in battery and power storage.
