I love this sort of thing: taking a technology which exists and is well-loved in a place where it is widely deployed (CI/CD in tech-forward environments) and making it accessible somewhere it is not (WordPress-driven websites, which may want CI/CD even w/o a developer working).
n.b. If you are building something like this, you should probably check out TinySeed, which is a fund I am a (tiny, seed) investor in, and which invested in Branch. This sort of thing is very close to their sweet spot.

"Why would you want CI/CD on a WordPress site even if you don't have a developer working on it?"

Ever brought down a marketing site (or, worse because subtle, broken e.g. signups for a SaaS company) by doing a WordPress version upgrade, installing a plugin, etc? That's why. ;)

I wonder how much of the success of Disney is being a competent commercial real estate operator that realized that safe, clean, and sterile costs the same as safe, clean, and beautiful and said “We choose beauty.”
It’s such a contrast after spending so much of my life in spaces which competent professionals spent years of their lives intentionally making look like nowhere in particular.
(I also think this is a virtually free arbitrage in office design.)

Apparently a Bitcoin exchange whose compliance strategy is Bond Villains Don’t Need A Compliance Strategy is saying they were not raided by the police but probably not in the same sense that you were not raided by the police.
This is a snow clone of the famous line in this essay: breakermag.com/trapped-at-sea…
The Block's reporting on this:

I feel like on the one hand substantial subjectivity with respect to parsing of "office" available in a distributed workforce and on the other hand betting "I have had a lot of offices less office-like than that office."

Would anybody have picked Microsoft as the most likely company to add four new Microsofts to the world in e.g. 2012?
I had to count the number of new Microsofts on my fingers twice because I was sure I was right with the four but uncertain about the year and didn't want to accidentally misstate growth by a Microsoft.
(I used to own a trivial amount of Microsoft stock and sold at some point to economize on mental bandwidth. This is one of the many reasons I rate my crystal ball for public equities as being unlikely to be better than the market's.)

Love yourself first!

The big problem today is that most people don’t love themselves. Society never teaches that it is possible to love ourselves. Understand that unless you love yourself, you cannot possibly love another person.

#love #selflove #nithyananda #Inspiration
Only when you lose yourself to yourself can you lose yourself to others. We are taught that we can only love even ourselves if we have a reason. If we perform well, we love ourselves.

#selflove #love #nithyananda #InspirationalQuotes #WeekendWisdom #SaturdayMotivation
If we fail, we hate ourselves. We apply the same logic to others. We love them only because of something, never without a cause or a reason.

OK so I have a real cool picture to share but I need to explain some stuff first.
OK SO: originally TV was done over CRTs. CRTs are analog devices made out of curved glass vacuum tubes, so they have interesting properties with how they draw pictures.
One of which is overscan: the problem of parts of the image being outside the viewable area.
Basically you can't assume all TVs are consistently manufactured and calibrated, so the whole screen probably won't be visible.
So there's a set of areas which were considered in TV production, including:
title safe: which is definitely viewable on all TVs
action safe: which is viewable on most TVs
Fullscan: the total amount broadcast, which might be viewable on some TVs

1. Love is a subject that every one of us has an opinion on. However our emphasis is on the doing part of Love. #Love
2. The first component of Love is in John 3:16 - for God so love the world that He gave his only begotten Son. #Love
3. To love is to recognize value in someone and to demonstrate that recognition of value. #Love

1. Love begins with recognition of value in others. Then we demonstrate that recognition through giving and forgiving. #Love
2. Joseph's brothers did not recognise his value. No wonder they discussed plans to kill him, but eventually sold him for 20 pieces of silver. #Love
3. Being ahead of someone in age or position tends to seduce us to not recognise their value, especially depending on our leadership culture. #Love
