Implementing namespaces and coding standards in WordPress plugin development

As WordPress projects grow in complexity, organizing your codebase becomes essential. Whether you’re building a plugin, theme, or block library, a clean and scalable architecture makes development faster, onboarding easier, and long-term maintenance far less painful. In Refactoring the Multi-Block Plugin: Build Smarter, Register Cleaner, Scale Easier, I walked through setting up a flexible structure for managing multiple static, dynamic, and interactive blocks within a single plugin. That setup

Trigger Crossbar

Trigger crossbar 2025-09-14 11:00 If you have a large, well-equipped electronics lab you’re going to have a lot of instrumentation with trigger input and output ports. In my case all three oscilloscopes, the vector signal generator, and even my VNAs have trigger sync capability, and there’s probably more things I’m missing. And that doesn’t even count the ThunderScope or the two Siglent AWGs I have on loan for ThunderScope R&D. Very often, it’s handy to cascade these in order to enable compl

You’re a slow thinker. Now what?

I'm not a quick witted person. In fact, I’ve always been worried about my brain’s slow processing time. But recently, I've realised that slow processing time is not as much of an issue as I thought it was. And even if I was wrong about that, I still think I’d do better for myself by leaning into it, instead of spending energy trying to fight it. In this essay, I want to talk about some ways I've been able to skirt around my lack of quick wittedness! To get what I mean by slow processing time,

Models of European metro stations

Alicante Alicante's rapid transit system is called TRAM, which is a train-tram and is operated by FGV, owned by the Valencian regional government. This system has an underground line in the city center, with three stations on it. The layout consists with one or two mezzanines on level -1 and two side or one island platforms at level -2. Luceros and Mercado stations have direct connection with the underground parking lots, which are located above the TRAM tunnel. Amsterdam Metro services in Amst

Why We Spiral

Say you’re a senior member of your team at work. You’re 12 minutes late to the weekly staff Zoom. Once you’ve “joined audio,” the first thing you hear is your old friend’s voice. “There you are! So glad you could fit us in.” You laugh and explain the disastrous traffic, difficult drop-off at your kids’ school, or whatever it was that messed up your morning. The moment passes and the conversation moves on. You turn to the job at hand, focused and ready to go. But what if you’re a junior staffer,

Repetitive negative thinking associated with cognitive decline in older adults

The present study suggested that the risk of cognitive impairment increased with higher RNT scores among older adults, and the robustness of the finding was confirmed through adjustment for various potential confounding variables. Additionally, individuals aged 60 ~ 79 years, junior high school and above were more prone to suffer from cognitive impairment with a high RNT score. However, the correlation between RNT and cognitive function was not significant in older adults aged 80 to 90 years, or

OCSP Service Has Reached End of Life

Today we turned off our Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP) service, as announced in December of last year. We stopped including OCSP URLs in our certificates more than 90 days ago, so all Let’s Encrypt certificates that contained OCSP URLs have now expired. Going forward, we will publish revocation information exclusively via Certificate Revocation Lists (CRLs). We ended support for OCSP primarily because it represents a considerable risk to privacy on the Internet. When someone visits a

Titania Programming Language

Titania Programming Language Based on the Oberon-07 programming language designed by the late Niklaus Wirth. This is designed to be a language to teach compiler development with.

Betty Crocker broke recipes by shrinking boxes

To add to the frustration, one Redditor pointed out that the brand may have “tinkered with the amount of leaveners in the mix itself. … When [the cake] first comes out of the oven, it looks like a more substantial amount of cake but then shrinks as it cools down.” (We reached out to Betty Crocker to verify any ingredient changes and have yet to receive a response.)

Grapevine cellulose makes stronger plastic alternative, biodegrades in 17 days

A new study from South Dakota State University reveals how grapevine canes can be converted into plastic-like material that is stronger than traditional plastic and will decompose in the environment in a relatively short amount of time. The need for biodegradable packaging material has never been higher. Currently, most packaging is "single use" and is made with plastic materials, derived from nonrenewable sources like crude oil that take hundreds of years to decompose in the environment. On t

Everyone Thinks Elon Musk is Going to Build a SpaceX Mobile Network

SpaceX’s has been partnering with mobile carriers like T-Mobile to offer its satellite internet service Starlink to extend the reach of cell networks. But, according to a report from the Washington Post, the company has ambitions to be more than just a partner. Following a major purchase of wireless spectrum earlier this week, it appears everyone is expecting Elon Musk’s company to get into the wireless network business for itself. On Monday, it was reported that SpaceX was finalizing a deal wi

Eric Kripke Assures ‘The Boys’ is Still Getting a Mexico Spinoff

Prime Video’s been feeding superhero audiences with The Boys and its Gen V spinoff, but the franchise has other shows in the works. Up on the docket is one set in Mexico that’s gone quiet since the initial reveal back in 2023. But according to Boys showrunner Eric Kripke, that series remains alive and kicking. In a recent Collider talk, he promised the show is in active development and is “very cool. […] I think the script is good, and the world itself meets the standard of all our spinoffs.” H

Rolling Stone Publisher Sues Google Over AI Overview Summaries

Google has insisted that its AI-generated search result overviews and summaries have not actually hurt traffic for publishers. The publishers disagree, and at least one is willing to go to court to prove the harm they claim Google has caused. Penske Media Corporation, the parent company of Rolling Stone and The Hollywood Reporter, sued Google on Friday over allegations that the search giant has used its work without permission to generate summaries and ultimately reduced traffic to its publicati

The Latest ‘Demon Slayer’ Movie is Another Record-Breaking Hit

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle came to the United States this weekend, and it’s doing numbers well ahead of projections. Per the Hollywood Reporter, the film—the first of a trilogy meant to bring the shonen fantasy series to a close—made an estimated $70 million domestic, double the $35-40 million predicted by analysts. But Sony’s been aggressive with marketing it, not to mention the anime itself is pretty popular on its own. It’s the biggest opening ever for an anime film in North America, the

Jeffrey Epstein’s Yahoo Inbox Revealed

Right-wing internet personality and Turning Point USA cofounder Charlie Kirk was shot and killed on Wednesday during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University in Orem, Utah.

Plant Care Tips for the Winter, According to Experts (2025)

Indoor plant care is always tricky. While it's all fine and dandy to take care of them when the summer sun is shining, keeping your plants alive in winter can feel like a whole ’nother story. Being a houseplant enthusiast is akin to having several silent children, all with finicky needs and limited ways of communicating them. If your green thumb is feeling a little yellow or brown these days, fear not! I interviewed several experts to figure out exactly how to keep your plants happy during the c

Karen Hao on the Empire of AI, AGI evangelists, and the cost of belief

At the center of every empire is an ideology, a belief system that propels the system forward and justifies expansion – even if the cost of that expansion directly defies the ideology’s stated mission. For European colonial powers, it was Christianity and the promise of saving souls while extracting resources. For today’s AI empire, it’s artificial general intelligence to “benefit all humanity.” And OpenAI is its chief evangelist, spreading zeal across the industry in a way that has reframed ho

Users turn to chatbots for spiritual guidance

In Brief AI-powered chatbots play a growing role in spiritual life, according to a New York Times story that examines the popularity of religious chatbots and apps. The Times notes that an app called Bible Chat has been downloaded more than 30 million times, while another app, Hallow, reached the number one spot in Apple’s App Store last year. For the most part, these apps are supposed to point people to religious doctrine and scripture to answer their questions, although at least one website

Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it

Carla Rover once spent 30 minutes sobbing after having to restart a project she vibe coded. Rover has been in the industry for 15 years, mainly working as a web developer. She’s now building a startup, alongside her son, that creates custom machine learning models for marketplaces. She called vibe coding a beautiful, endless cocktail napkin on which one can perpetually sketch ideas. But dealing with AI-generated code that one hopes to use in production can be “worse than babysitting,” she said
