Pineapple is objectively the best pizza topping because it's one of the only toppings which makes pizza into a fully rounded scientific flavor experience. The five flavors which we can detect are sweet, salty, bitter, sour, and umami (savory). A basic cheese pizza covers two, maybe three of these flavors — salty, umami, and maybe sweet, depending on the sauce used. Pineapple covers three flavors — sweet, sour, and bitter (if it's fresh). This means that pineapple pizza fully features all of the five flavors.<p>What other topping can you say that about? Not pepperoni, nor olives, certainly not mushrooms or sausage. No other pizza topping as perfectly rounds out the flavor profile of pizza as pineapple, especially fresh pineapple, and that is why it's the superior topping.
- <i>"a judge ordered Mullenweg to remove a controversial login checkbox from WordPress.org that required users to pledge that they were not affiliated with WP Engine before logging in"</i><p>So, in short, he's mad at the court for ordering him to do something, and (while the lawsuit is still running!) is basically mocking the court order, and trolling the judge and plaintiff.<p>This guy has an attorney somewhere, and that attorney has this guy for a client. That poor attorney.
First they insisted I like pineapple on pizza, and I did not speak out—because I didn't mind it. Then they insisted I like mushrooms, and I did not speak out—because I was indifferent. Then they insisted I like anchovies, and I did not speak out—because I could tolerate them. Then they insisted I like every topping, and there was no one left to agree with my actual taste.
For context, this is revenge to a court forcing him by injunction to remove the previous version of the checkbox (which required stating you are not affiliated with, or using, WP Engine).<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382829">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42382829</a>
I've never understood the hatred towards pineapple on pizza. I like it. I can certainly think of much weirder things I've seen on pizza with no public outcry.

This and Elm show the issues of the BDFL management model. Good software projects can die due to a midlife crisis. Let's hope WordPress establishes some form of foundation.
> When I initially saw it I assumed my friend was trolling me but yeah it’s there and has a value attribute filled out, which leaves me suspicious that he’s gonna use it as a proxy for the previous field,” she told me.<p>Great time to be learning other CMSes. I tried Payload 3 this week. It was refreshingly easy to configure! Needs a little more polish (the textarea expansion logic seems broken in Safari) but I know a good team is behind it and they'll figure it out.
Would be nice if this is the work of a skilled damage control team, who's going to help turn around recent troubles, including by poking fun at themselves.<p>I hope a BDFL isn't going through a rough time while not having to listen to anyone else.
Schema deletions usually have to be rolled out in two phases. Maybe this is just a light-hearted approach to be immediately compliant w/ the ruling without making a breaking API change.
For some reason - maybe it's a nostalgia hit - a deep pan from pizza hut with pineapple, pepperoni, jalapeno, and chicken just hits that right spot for me.
If WordPress dies it'll be one of the best things to happen to the web in a decade. People will be forced to use something else, so a product with actual security, and a design from after 2001, can finally get traction.<p>A persistent annoying thing I've had to maintain for years has been WordPress sites. As a Systems Engineer, their design is particularly annoying to support, and the way they are changed and deployed leads to tons of predictable failures. It's possible to turn WordPress into a real, CI/CD driven, ephemeral deploys, with diffed, staged, tested database changes. But for some reason nobody has built that as a canned solution (I did long ago for a previous employer).<p>Fun fact: the reason you get a billion blog results when you try to Google for a recipe, is 1) a WordPress plugin that auto-generates recipe blogs, and 2) a Google Metadata thing in the page for encoding recipes. Google prioritizes all those blogs with the recipe metadata. End result: millions of garbage blogs churned out via WP, and nothing but garbage results. Not really sure why Google continues to prioritize garbage.
