I've got it at 38.32%. I'm looking at the 'front-door' of the web, active sites, no subdomains, from Crux user experience data.

Will be publishing a report on www.theweb.report soon - if you're interested.

That's a seed of about 13 million domains - pretty sure WordPress would be dominating the even longer tail.

( Also worth noting it's sooo easy to detect a site is WordPress, it screams it across every signal we gather, where-as some sites are just well made and have limited information leaks ).

An audit of the active web, what CMS, hosting and technologies are used.

Custom python crawler getting 240 sites a second crawled and classified. ( homepages and minimal probes, no headless browsers )

Be interested to test some false positives, if you have a URL I'll tell you what I see :)

Nice one.

I've been doing the same bit wider scope, for the whole Crux list, pruned to apex domains, and looking for CMS signals - how's your throughput?

I'm not doing any headless browser stuff, or many requests, so hyper optimised for speed.

I do grab robots.txt - didn't really see much in llms.txt or humans.txt in the wild, does yours?

What's the context on that?

have found Shopify's AI implementation to be sane and really useful ( building flows and surfacing documentation correctly ).

Yeah likewise. Most of the things you’d need a plugin for in WordPress are already part of the core system, things you need are easy to extend.

I’m doing some really powerful stuff with the custom CLI commands, highly recommend the YouTube video on it. Makes bulk import / api enrichment and other things a breeze.

I'm now a 15'' Air user after always being pro. I notice no difference in performance but enjoy the lighter form factor and damn does it run cool compared to the pro.

Replacing my iPhone was a nothing burger of choice, on paper the iPhone 15 pro was the best feature set for value vs buying a new iPhone 17, but Apple know that so don't sell the older models directly when the new models come out.

There's really limited impactful innovation when you get into the details.

GB Renewables Map 6 months ago

Just noticed the wind farms even have the individual units ( I assume ) and their interconnections mapped?!

Would show that off and zoom into them when selecting them from the list view!

FAQ also mentions it's only wind, so took me a while to notice :)

Would be nice to have a definition of 'Turn-up' and 'Curtailment' in that FAQ for us non grid savvy visitors.

Works great though, well done.

Ahhhh. It happily re-wrote the example paper to be from Google AI and added references that supported that falsehood.

Slop science papers is just what the world needs.

Kirby has ticked the boxes for me, total control of the admin interface.

Block fields like ACF flexible layouts. Modern and fast with total control of the frontend.

Has been fun to switch and fast.

If you’re comfortable with php writing an importer for Kirby is simple, checkout their cli YouTube video. Nice modern api and easy to import content. Being flat file if there’s a mistake, just delete the content folder and import again!

Seems more interesting that automation via robotics is initially driven by car manufacturing [0], of which Germany and France produce substantially more units [1]

That said the UK government should really get a grip and have a coherent long term strategy instead of fire fighting the next media storm from week to week. Automation will need to increase given an ageing population, people exiting the workforce ( willingly or through care or health reasons ) and closing the door to immigration via Brexit.

Clicking one marker on the map triggers almost 100 network requests. Seems crazy, why push all the images for all properties when I only need the first, then lazyload the rest when I interact with the slideshow.

Not sure why sorting then reloads the data, as it looks to sort the matched results that are already on page.

Thanks, will check it out. Reads like it'll handle opening InDesign, Illustrator and PSD's - assume that's workable and doesn't have too many gotchas?

I get a variety of artwork from designers in a plethora of formats and sadly can't enforce my preferences on them.
