WP has corporate momentum/network effect though, in the same way that Jira, Jenkins, and Java (among other things) have.
For a long time now WP no longer just caters to the hacker "Code is Poetry" crowd---and, of course, even less so nowadays with the controversies WP has embroiled itself with. The people who are inclined to choose WP by default do so because of the wealth of plugins available to them, be that Shopify integration or fine-grained tracking of a marketing campaign. They would wonder why someone would ever prefer something "headless". They think static websites are the dinosaurs the Y2K comet wiped out.
Sure we can argue about whether WP is the "best solution" but WP is definitely the solution that works acceptably out-of-the-box. Your CMS of choice probably has a bunch of out-of-the-box solutions for common concerns as well but I doubt that it can handle the edge cases that Head of Marketing will inevitably introduce with their ol' reliable set of integrated services. Shopify + Google Analytics + Salesforce + Airtable[1] always worked for them with WP but suddenly this allegedly-better "headless" CMS is throwing all sorts of dumb errors.
And if a plugin is not available, there is no shortage of WP/PHP developers who can make one at a reasonable price. In contrast, I'm sorry, but honestly your comment is the first time I've heard about Strapi and Astro.
I'm not saying I like the status quo but if someone asks me for a WP site, I give them a hardened EC2 box with WP over Apache/NGINX. Then I return to frying bigger fish.
It's always "in most cases". I simply don't see space for WordPress on green field sites anymore. If something is so small it does not require CMS - it's better to use pure HTML. Otherwise "in most cases" it's better to use headless CMS.
Do you work with non-technical users? There are few (none that I'm actually aware of) static site generators that are friendly enough for a comms team in a large enterprise for example. I note that Strapi also puts key features such as SSO behind an Enterprise pay wall... so that's already a massive negative.
WordPress has it's place, a blanket no against one of the most popular CMSes on the Internet is a pretty hot take.
Lit is fantastic lib as a way out from legacy web framework (since can be injected in any framework including Vue, Angular, React). I used it as a way out out of old Vue2 project
Another day, another better battery for consumer product promise. I really hope one day we will get rid of stinking non electric cars from the streets.
Did we ever figure out a valid EV system for heavy trucks that need to drive 600 miles in a 10 hour shift? Seems like a very tall order for standard EV infrastructure and mobile systems
If you're driving 600 miles in 10 hours without a 30 minute break you should have your license taken away. And 30 minutes is all you need for enough of a charge top-up on a 400 mile battery.
Trains travel on semi level grades -not steep. Trucks on the other hand do, even if only counting interstates. Having a large tonnage truck going up hill lose power would not be fun. Maybe they can make them more reliable than MUNIs implementation.
On the flip side, when semi drivers get regenerative braking on the downhill and the far superior torque on the way up, you'll pry EV-semis only from their cold dead hands.
I still don't see why PHEVs aren't a thing in Semis so you can get regen braking, torque, efficiency, and range, but what do I know.
Ideally a lot of the long-haul freight could be handled by rail, but another option for trucks is to have electrified highways. There are some projects in Sweden (one of which uses power rails embedded in slots in the road surface) and Germany (which uses overhead lines).
The slots-in-the-road approach is a bit more expensive, but it can be used by cars and trucks, whereas the overhead lines are just for trucks.
This is just a question of energy density, cost, and how much weight/cost you are willing to add to the truck.
We'll hit that point soon enough (if we haven't already with some nice truck that hasn't crossed my newsfeed). In the meantime, there's lots of shorter haul trucking routes, and routes with access to fast chargers half way (300 mile electric semis definitely exist), to convert.
Electric trains are pretty common in some parts of the world, it's just that the US has never bothered with it. And to be fair, diesel trains are already very energy efficient. I believe trains haul about as much cargo around as trucks do in the US on a daily basis, but the amount of fuel they consume is like a rounding error in comparison to trucks.
I think electrifying the trains is still worth doing, but if we want to reduce CO2 emissions and dependence on fossil fuels, it's not as important as getting those diesel-powered trucks off the road somehow.
A few do. The law requires a break only after 8 hours of driving. With a bottle to pee in and snacks to eat some will do that. Most will take breaks ever hour or two (any who talk to thair doctor will) but those are stop, pee, and get back on the road. They are paid by the mile and long breaks cost money. Team divers only stop for a few hours total per day.
Who is that? I am not sure why you would assume everyone knows who that is?
Efficiency certainly isn't unimportant but fast charging can overcome it.
I would also argue that EVs can't succeed unless fast charging overcomes efficiency. For EVs to succeed and overtake ICE vehicles they need to work for vehicles that are inherently inefficient, such as minivans, 3-row family SUVs, trucks, and commercial vans.
This is especially true since large vehicles are often the most profitable in the US.
One of the biggest EV testers out there. If you know EVs you know him.
All three are important and sure you can somewhat brute-force either aspect, but ultra fast charging stations are not as prevalent as you think it is. Most stations are still 50kW, but there are few 150kW. 250kW and more are still super rare.
I'm sorry but if you provide zero links and minimal context you can't assume people know who you're talking about by first name alone especially when it's a YouTuber with under 350,000 followers.
And again efficiency is important but EVs won't succeed unless they can include inefficient vehicles that are a necessity or a strong preference for many buyers, which is why 250kW+ charging stations are important if the US is ever going to adopt EVs as a full ICE replacement.
If I need a truck with an 8 foot bed and a body-on-frame vehicle to carry building supplies to my commercial property that I own across state lines and it currently gets 20mpg using the most advanced ICE technology on the market, I'm going to need 250kW+ chargers available if I'm ever going to replace that vehicle with an EV. Doubly so if I need to tow a trailer.
You have control over what is suggested by the algo, and can make several different feeds - in addition to just a feed of your follows. Rather than whatever "For You" is doing on Twitter these days.
I don't believe Twitter has the ability to do multiple algorithmically driven feeds but its been a while since I used it. I think Twitter "lists" might be the closest thing to it but thats just different follows. My understanding was that "For You" has gone through a number of changes, most of them for the worst, in the last year or so. Bluesky also has some interesting personal moderation filters - for instance I can subscribe to published block lists, maintained by other users.
Yup. There's the basic chronological feed. There's a Discover and Popular with Friends feed. But, you can create your own feeds and/or subscribe to feeds that other people have created. You can have feeds for a specific topic or subculture. They can be manually curated or algorithmically; the idea is that can you subscribe to your own recommendation algorithm. They can be as simple or as complex as you'd like. Plus, you typically know who created a feed. Let's say you want to hear about AI news. There could be a curated AI, assuming someone cares about to garden it.
I don't think Threads is dying, I believe Meta's numbers are actually quite good.
But the content pushed by its engagement algorithm makes the experience pretty far from what I'd expect from a serious Twitter alternative, even after several apparent tweaks. It could be a good platform for brands and celebrities though.
Yeah Threads feels like a flipped house; pretty finishes and big open concept rooms that draw you in before you can realize its all a facade and full of engagement bait
For me it began when he started suspending journalists or anyone who criticized him (so much for pro-free speech), lying about almost everything and still every day. He also started siding with racist commenters and white supremacists. And if that wasn't enough, the whole salute thing was disgusting and absolutely irresponsible. So yeah his pro Russian statements don't surprise me at all.
This article could be titled what’s wrong with Linux desktop - but current title is plain stupid. Plenty of people are using it as main OS mainly because all other alternatives have either privacy issues or some dumb gold cage limitations and privacy issues. I don’t think author is dumb - it’s catchy title due to hubris issues.
I've run Linux command line tools and GUI tools using Termux and a random X11 app. . It already works, just not with stuff requiring root permissions (no wireshark etc.). Apps like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tech.ula do it through VNC instead.
What I found to be the most limiting factor isn't the OS, but the tiny screen and the lack of good input methods.
Funnily enough, Samsung ran trials where their Dex mode provided a full Linux GUI when plugged into a monitor/USB dock, but that got killed off. Now Dex is back to being an Android desktop environment again. On the plus side, Dex now also works on tablets without being docked, so I guess that was worth it for me.
Use headless CMS plus static site generator. e.g. Strapi plus Astro
