If you do "pip list --outdated" then it should show you which packages you have installed and that are out of date. Look out specifically for the packages that are mentioned in this error message: requests, urllib3, chardet, charset_normalizer.

You can then upgrade them by doing "pip install [package name here] --upgrade".


I have a similar outlook. I kept complaining and basically the answer comes down to "if you don't like it, leave" - so I did. I understand it's not appropriate for all use cases but Manjaro has been an absolute dream for me so far.


What page were you on, exactly? I can't seem to reproduce the issue that you're seeing.

Could there be an extension that is causing this?


It's on the main page as soon as I log in. I just disabled all of my Chrome extensions and I'm still seeing the warning. The warning says it's coming from https://cloud.digitalocean.com.


> Could there be an extension that is causing this?

That would be my guess as well. I couldn't repro using Chrome.


I find the first mistake here to be trying to use WordPress. Maybe it's just because I use it so much (or rather, as a developer, I'm often hired to fix other people's mess and broken code) but it is genuinely my most hated piece of software.


What’s the better alternative? What solves “let non-tech people build and administer flexible, dynamic websites” better?


I tell potential clients i turn down to use site builders like Wix, Squarespace, etc. Yeah they're $30 but I'm going to change your way more in a year to setup and maintain WordPress for you.

I'm also a huge fan of WebFlow, especially for people that have some basic knowledge of CSS or really just want to tinker with every paragraph :)


The truth is that most people just want a static website and use wordpress because they don't know better and then trivial things break for them and now half the web is broken. It is easier to create static websites by hand or using any other service imo, even for non-tech people. Dynamic websites are a different story but after almost 2 decades since word press I doubt there are no alternatives, wordpress just has a reputation and inertia.


WordPress has GUI builder (Avada, Beaver, Divi, etc.). That's why so many people want to use WordPress.


Haha! I'd love to hear more of your reasons why.


Not the OP, but I’ve fought Wordpress plenty of times as well. Probably the worst time was when I was writing a WP authentication plugin for my org. I was reading the docs when I ran into this gem[0]:

> The semantics seem rather fuzzy. If id is a WP_User or other object, or an array of properties, it seems to clone it without touching the cache. Otherwise if id is a number it seems to try to read it possibly from the cache, or from the database using ->get_data_by(), which can also update the cache. If id is empty it reads by login name.

I realized that if even the offical documentation didn’t know what Wordpress was doing, I definitely had no hope.

I’m not the fellow you’re replying to, but here’s my 2C. My perspective might be out of date, as I haven’t touched WP in 5 years or so.

-The plug-in APIs have been largely written by accretion, making them confusing and hard to grok. I always vaguely feel like I’m doing something wrong, that this shouldn’t be this difficult... Furthermore, API functions are inconsistently named, and return hard-to-predict datatypes.

- The theme tools are similarly confusing, and can make simple tasks take a lot of time. Sure, you just have to create magicfilename.php/css and put this magic snippet into it - but the discoverability in that is pretty garbage and results in a lot of hacks that solve things in the wrong way.

- Using other people’s plugins was a crapshoot, as plugin conflicts were (are?) pretty common. For a casual user plugins are a massive footgun, as WP makes it easy to install decade-old unmaintained junk plugins full of security holes.

Compare all of this to Drupal, which while far from perfect actually tries to design sane APIs and solid code, and iterates on it to correct their mistakes.


In my case, it just seems architected entirely backward, because of an accident of history that was LAMP and the only options at the time for having any kind of software running "on the internet" that could provide an authoring interface. The authoring software and its database and all the security surfaces and performance and cost associated with those should only be incurred when author changes are being made, not 24/7 when people are viewing content that isn't changing. The viewing experience can (and should) closely resemble a CDN of static pre-rendered documents, possibly plus thin edge-worker type logic around interactive features like comments or form submissions.


Check out the public API, read the source, look at the data model.

Wordpress is a workhorse on the web, but it is a complex, inconsistent mess full of weird edge cases. It is much harder to introspect, debug and reason about than it should be. You need tons of specific, specialized knowledge to interact with it as a developer.

The reason for that seems to be this: it is built with people in mind who cannot code, but the reality is that for many cases this doesn’t suffice, so you end up with a hodgepodge.


Mine are mostly state-related. The DB and files from a live site are so tied up in basic config & functionality that if you only have the source code repo you may as well have nothing.


Hah, interesting to see this here. I'm actually working on this but for mobile devices.


Reminder: if you want to be awesome, please help seed the torrents listed on http://torrents.fedoraproject.org/ - just set them up on my Scaleway seedbox.


The result it gave me is in a country I've never set foot in.


Are the latest updates installed on all involved devices? My immediate guess based on the information you've given is that it's likely a firewall or some other traffic inspection service that is - for unknown reasons - not liking the requests Tinder is making.


It's not marketing as such but adding it to ProgrammableWeb would be a good start - it's the first place I go when I'm looking for APIs. Here: http://www.programmableweb.com/add/api


Do you consume much media? I ask because I used to be similar to you; I never used to be able to distinguish between 30fps vs 60fps but I find that the more media I consume, the more the difference becomes apparent to me.

Aside from that, one of the clearest videos I've seen the difference in is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-dOuBcxMlk - the commentary isn't very constructive in that video but I see a rather large difference between gameplay clips.


Honestly, I didn't see a difference in the two. I'm sure that 60FPS is better, but I also just don't "see" it.


I couldn't see it during the hearthstone example, but it was abundantly clear during counter-strike.
