I have an query that is ordering by post_date. But the date for this particular set of posts is identical.

So it's giving me them in different orders if I run the same query a few times. Which is messing up pagination.

What the heck?

Attention all experts.

(posted last night, but posting again mid day US/Canada time).

We're looking for a new Wordpress developer at CoffeeGeek. Global location isn't important, but your skills, reliability, discretion and availability are.

We are looking for someone who

  • has a deep and full understanding of the entire Wordpress infrastructure, back end, multi-site usage, and all the associated coding, css, custom theme work etc.

  • Has a good knowledge and understanding of Elementor Pro. We use Elementor Pro and several plug in packages on CoffeeGeek, and have need of some custom work within Elementor.

  • working, day to day knowledge and experience with Cpanel, PHP and all the normal server-side stuff that comes along with Wordpress and managing a busy website.

  • The usual "back end" knowledge an experience in website management, including CDNs, site security, back up, etc.

  • Some SEO experience, the more the better (especially staying on top of current trends

  • Some design experience. This isn't crucial, as we have a WP / Elementor designer separate from our WP Developer position. But you knowing some ins and outs of basic design is beneficial

  • VERY IMPORTANT: Good availability. I don't expect turnaround in an hour after I send a job request, but responses within 24hr, and normal availability for several hours per week for maintenance / bug chasing (and also larger blocks of time for bigger projects) is expected and required.

  • VERY IMPORTANT: you have the ability and desire to make sure all the work you do for us is fully tested and bug checked before signing off on the work. We do have a dev server to test things on, but we will rely on you to deliver finished, generally bug free work.

  • Ideally, you are creative on the technical side, are good at hunting down bugs, innovative with fixes, and know how to get the most out of a Wordpress environment.

  • you don't have to love coffee, but it would not hurt your application process! :)

I am willing to pay a monthly retainer plus a preferred hourly rate (billed once a month / when tasks are completed and signed off) or a slightly higher straight hourly rate (no retainer) for your work, payment competitive in the US and Canada marketplace.

If interested, please DM me here with your email address, and I will send you more details and ask for your CV, examples of your work, and your company website information.

I am based in Canada, PDT time, and most of the work contact times would be between 1pm and 10pm PDT time.

We lost so much when dropping Sass for PostCSS.

CSS built-in nesting is awkward, static variables can be useful actually, and what's the point of dropping a consistent API with good DX if we're still transforming our stylesheets anyways?

Chaining together interoperable PostCSS modules to accomplish half of what Sass can do is nearly impossible.

After reading this, checked my existing styling as processed through autoprefixer, found the vendor prefixes that had been added, and manually added them to my styling — so it now doesn’t require any additional tools for cross-browser compatibility.

when working on a web app, does a normal cache bust work on manifest.json, or once the app is installed, is that it?

so, with a long max-age, something like

manifest.json?version=1  
manifest.json?version=2

I think in English when you write formal text you spell the numbers until 10. From there on you just write the number. can help with that using the 'Number::spell' helper.

Weekend discovery. An intermediate step in the RAG process is document chunking. Determining the appropriate chunk size can become a trial & error game. James Briggs does a great job of explaining how to use Semantic Chunking to get better results.

TIL that ships with the 'isCpRoute()' function, which allowed me to make my code a little more compact. The function will check if the current route is a control panel route or not. Here's the old and new code. Feels refreshing 😁

Would you be surprised if I told you the array key gets converted to an integer?

Well, it does. In PHP array keys that are numeric strings are converted to integers.

Most Web-savvy folks know that Chrome’s lineage can be traced back to Safari (WebKit, etc.), and be traced further back to KDE’s Konquerer (KHTML, etc.).

But did you know that Apple was also considering Mozilla’s Gecko engine as the basis back when planning development of Safari? KHTML was chosen because the codebase was significantly cleaner than the XPCOM bloat in Gecko. (That name still strikes fear in me to this day. :blobfoxscared: ) Interestingly, the Gecko codebase has been since cleaned up significantly.

That means that, if things had gone differently, Gecko could’ve ended up as the browser engine that rules the world today. :blobfoxgoogly:

By default #Laravel will wrap your json resources in a 'data' key. The '::withoutWrapping()' method lets you disable this behavior.

You can turn this off for all resources extending the JsonResource class or just for specific ones, that's up to you.
