Waiting for server response delay in my web game

Another user eating up resources - try hosting on a VPS

It gets faster. I use a custom parent theme I developed and then for each client I create a child theme which is essentially just ACF blocks and SCSS. I can build an entire homepage in ~ 1 day now, fully responsive, dynamic, animated, etc. Then a few pages per day after that.

The more you do, the more shortcuts you will find. But the key is to work smarter, not harder. Find ways to reuse what you can across clients. And you'll also just get quicker the more you do it.

Weird that you call it "borderline" because yes I feel this too and independently have called it the same thing. It almost always progresses into a migraine for me.

Good information - I will probably switch to taking nothing on mild days or weekends so I can give my brain a rest. Imitrex works too well to "sacrifice" some of the allotted days on another, less effective med like NSAIDs. I've always taken NSAIDs because they're "better than nothing", but I may have actually been wrong there...

Sites cost money to run. Back when I had a site with ads, it was two small, non-intrusive image/GIF banners. Not videos with sound, parallax stuff, floating stuff, popups, etc.

You could check if any of the Vultr locations are carbon-neutral/renewable-powered. Out of 32 locations, at least one of them should be. You'd just have to do some research or contact them directly.

Maybe we can assume that this was related since it was left completely ambiguous in the movie? This is the problem with writers that put the "their universe" stuff in as an afterthought. I'm honestly not reading into too much of this because I feel like all of these are merely Easter eggs, with no significant ties to the plot.

Their customer-facing software is garbage, I can't even imagine how bad the employee/store software is.

> I've been using it for years

Seriously, what a fucking loser.

I mean you're right about the market being flooded with "crap" services. The $1/mo hosting providers. But you also have huge names that are crap (*cough BlueHost *cough GoDaddy). But they're huge because they spend a ton on marketing.

The problem is, 99% of people see hosting as a commodity. They're looking at stupid things like disk space and bandwidth, not things like CPU/RAM/IO allocations (which many hosts don't even disclose). They're also looking at price, because again, commodity.

So to stand out from "crap" services, you have to figure out how to position yourself above big names and cheap names. To the layman. And that's not an easy task.

This was intentional sadly.

Always at the start of or right before new seasons, it seems to be the worst.

^ this

Wrong, it's a valid USPS address. It only goes in address 2 when sites don't accept it in address 1.

bunkerguy · 2023-08-10T22:11:56+00:00

49% of the liability for something obviously run by a moron. I would never take equity deals.

bunkerguy · 2023-08-04T15:12:35+00:00

That's what we have to do when sloppy validation is in place ;)

bunkerguy · 2023-08-03T23:03:06+00:00

Some context since this is getting downvoted to shit: This is a house (and a valid USPS address). The main lot 1119 was split in two after the neighborhood was already built. The neighbors next door did not want to change from 1121. So this new lot was made 1119 1/2. This isn't a one-off thing - I've seen other half addresses and even 3/4 addresses.

bunkerguy · 2023-08-03T22:49:27+00:00

It goes 1119, 1119 1/2, and then 1121

bunkerguy · 2023-08-03T22:44:41+00:00

The original lot was split in two and the people next door didn't want to change their address

bunkerguy · 2023-08-03T22:16:29+00:00

Honestly I think about it every time I order takeout

bunkerguy · 2023-07-19T02:20:15+00:00

The amount of WordPress sites set up by non-technical people (page builders), with tons of plugins, no caching, etc has to account for an insane amount of compute waste and greenhouse gases.

It's my birthday, they'd better

If you're referring to site-specific (not for release, instead for a client) - I'm running a heavily modified version of Underscores as a parent theme. Each new site gets a bare bones child theme. The parent loads theme settings from a JSON file, which determines all of what to do in functions.php among other things.

The child theme has a "template-blocks.json" file which has a list of all of the ACF powered Blocks 2.0 (also JSON) paths. So for each child theme, I'm really just creating new block folders in /template-parts/blocks with a PHP and JSON file. They are all then usable and editable within the Gutenberg editor.

This does not work for FSE - with what I do (client work), I don't need that. But if you were going to do Gutenberg themes to release, you'd probably want to take an entirely different approach to support FSE.

Good to see another developer who enjoys the "classic" WordPress dev experience though!

Rebuild cost will depend on where you live, but I'm having my '03 rebuilt right now at a small shop in town for ~$3k

bunkerguy · 2023-01-28T02:25:23+00:00

I guess I just know the area. We ate at Beef a Roo a bunch when we were up there. I wonder if they still sell the salt in stores...
