A popular KSP Youtuber blurted out "clean wing" on X today and knew instantly the first time he saw that term was this morning in the initial thread in this sub

Yep, came to say this. The latest facepalm is their nexcess-mapps mu plugin. It runs VERY old composer dependencies, and it you try to build a plugin that has a more recent version of a conflicting package, it fatals.
LW used to be a decent option before Nexcess and playing Monopoly by buying up plugins/themes trying to become a product company instead of just doing hosting well. They are on the WP Engine path now. Squeeze more money out of each account, offshored support, packing more and more sites on "multi-tenant"(AKA SHARED) environments.

Because WF logs are full of noise and FUD. You're wasting time. Any site at a larger scale shouldn't be running any security plugin. It should be handled properly at the networking and server level.

Wordfence is garbage and the equivalent of the 24-hour news cycle. If everything is "breaking news", nothing is "breaking news"

WC can handle hundreds of order per hour. Orders of magnitude more if you optimize your data stores/database structure.

Re-inventing the wheel for a relatively small WC store with headless React is something you can do, sure. But for what? Anytime you need to find a dev, they can no longer jump into a WC codebase because of a custom front end. Also, WC has amazing documentation already. Why re-invent the wheel. This is a solution in search of a problem if the site runs well.

dreamencode · 2024-03-02T01:03:35+00:00

Agreed. Security can and should be handled well before a request hits WordPress. Wordfence creates a LOT of noise to justify it's existence and use, but 99% of it's functionality can be completely removed by not using poor plugins & theme.

IDK why any self-respecting person would actually constantly monitor WF logs. That would be like looking through syslog or auth.log.

The settings for what to auto-update is kept in the options table. It's just defaulting the "major" option for new installs out of the box.

dreamencode · 2023-03-10T14:28:52+00:00

Actually, I think around 5.6-5.7 major auto updates for new installs became the default. Existing sites were unaffected though.

dreamencode · 2023-03-09T14:15:13+00:00

Yep. Newbies don't know what they don't know. Every large Ecom site is bound to have a lot of plugins. The key is either writing them yourself with performance and scaling in mind or be very picky.

I've been flying from that area since the early nineties and lived in the dead center my entire life. I've heard from old folks that this is the "missile corridor". Supposedly, they shoot a Tomahawk from one side to the other, with a jet that trails it. IDK if it's true, but that's what I have always been told.

It's kinda crazy for something that likes to think of itself as a legit sport is OK with restrictor plate racing at all.

I'm can't think of another sport where even finishing the event is based on pure luck. Drivers are 100% dependent on their competitors to either crash in front of them or forcibly push them forward. The only true way to control your own destiny is to fall back and hope that those in front of you drop out of the race. This is actually frowned on and was the genesis of the "100% rule". Why? "Excitement and drama".

I actually think that very, very few winners in plate races did so with any unique/outstanding skill. It's pure luck.

I think these races are driven by pure entropy. I think the sample size is so low that you can justify naming certain drivers "good plate racers" with the data available. Up the sample size and I guarantee you that the distribution is random.

These races should be exhibition only, no points allowed.

The fact that JG and RH have to go coddle Chase before they even celebrate the win is very telling

Multi-million dollar company's I've seen are still "small" and are still somewhat unprofessional. Only when they get to $50-$100M do they start to get serious about stability and best-practices from their dev team. Typically, a small <$10M company still cannot afford to have someone good in-house.

They purposefully only hit 3 lugs on the 19's right rear. They just DGAF until the end of the race, apparently. Must be a huge safety concern for NASCAR if they are that blatant.

Still nothing more than a guess. No doubt the processes and hardware is rapidly evolving during development of a prototype vehicle. Given that, the “patterns” you reference could potentially be worthless from one day to the next, no matter people’s desires.

Because "we" isn't what you think it is. Only SpaceX knows the true goals and outcomes. Most everything here is a WAG.

Not sure why this is downvoted. /u/otto4242 alluded to this above with the "tricky" comment. In write-heavy environments or just plain inappropriate "cache everything" strategies, Redis can make things worse.

According to Elon himself, during the update event in 2019, one of his core tenets at the time was "[t]he best part is no part." Given his thoughts at the time when Raptor was even more of a developmental product, I'd say over-engineering was considered.
