Messed up Tumblr to Wordpress Migration pls help

1 September 2026 at 23:16

I was migrating a tumblr sideblog to wordpress for the first time, and while it was still migrating, I changed the old blog's url. Really dumb move, I know, but it's late, and I was too tired to notice. Is there any way I can fix this because now I'm stuck on migration with the old url and it won't let me change it. I'm not seeing an option to stop this anywhere.

I built this for a store owner who was tired of updates quietly breaking fonts, layout, and pages.

It's works is the crazy thing.

He has a website with 122 pages, and he told me that whenever updates happen or patches sometimes like fonts will break on his website and everything gets messed up. If I could fix that he'd buy it from me.

I made it. I'm willing to run it on some public domains,

Loop

  1. I snapshot the public pages that take money

  2. The site changes theme update, app, patch, whatever

  3. You get a report: what changed, what is broken, how to fix it

  4. You tell me when it’s fixed. I recheck and send a receipt that it is actually fixed

Public pages only. No login no credit card.

I'm running it for free tonight only.

Anybody wanna try new tech?

LZ Experiment Sees Surprising Result In Search For Dark Matter

By: BeauHD

New submitter greytree shares a report from Brown University: LUX-ZEPLIN, an experiment co-led by Brown University faculty and students, observed a particle interaction that could be interpreted as a signal from WIMPs, a dark matter candidate -- but researchers need more data to confirm. [...] The result does not yet meet the statistical threshold required to claim a discovery, but it is the most compelling hint of dark matter reported by the experiment to date. "We're very intrigued to see this event in the data, in the region where we expect dark matter to show up, and the competing backgrounds are very low," said Rick Gaitskell, a professor of physics at Brown University and the spokesperson for LZ. "With only one event, we don't want to get ahead of ourselves. We are not claiming to have seen dark matter. But we have seen something interesting that we want to share with the scientific community for their input." [...] If the anomalous event was caused by dark matter, the WIMP that generated it would likely have a mass of at least 200 GeV/c2 (gigaelectronvolts), or more than 200 times the mass of a proton. The LZ results have not reached "5-sigma" significance, the statistical threshold in physics that an event must reach to be considered a discovery. The new analysis is 2.6 sigma, meaning there is approximately a 0.5% chance that the event could be explained by known backgrounds. With additional data, researchers can test whether the finding continues to grow in significance or fades away. LZ has already accumulated the world's largest dark matter dataset and will continue to accrue WIMP search data at SURF, substantially improving their search statistics. JiJi Fan, an associate professor of physics at Brown not involved in the LZ experimental research but whose theoretical work is cited in the new LZ paper, said the new findings were "very intriguing." While the event recorded by LZ could not have been the simplest type of WIMP interaction, there are other types of possible interactions that could explain it, she said. Had a WIMP interacted in the simplest way at the high energy associated with this recent event, the detector would have recorded many recoil events at lower energies following the initial event. LZ recorded a single event, however, which requires an expanded theoretical explanation. "There are well-motivated theoretical extensions, including inelastic scattering and momentum-dependent elastic scattering, that could potentially account for this single event," Fan said. "This also sets up a target for on-going dark matter hunting, not only at direct detection experiments such as LZ but also at other complementary experimental frontiers." The results were presented in a scientific talk at the 2026 TeV Particle Astrophysics conference in Japan on Tuesday, Sept. 1. A paper detailing the finding can be found here (PDF).

adjusting HTML block height?

1 September 2026 at 20:08

I've had an old website running on Wordpress for years, and I'm finally building a new small site from scratch, but things have changed a lot from when I initially learned the system. I'm trying to do what I thought would be the very simple task of adjusting the size and height of an HTML block I dropped in the editor, but despite searching, I haven't been able to find a way to do this. The block seems to have a fixed, very short height, and a width constrained to a block container I can't identify.

Could anyone point me in the right direction for how to manually set the height and width for an HTML block containing an iframe element?

What are the best tools you’ve discovered over the years?

Let’s share hidden gem tools, not the usual stuff that shows up in every "top developer tools" post, but smaller tools and projects that made you think, "wait, this is actually really useful."

I'll start with 3 I've come across:

1. Archify
https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify

Found this recently. It's an agent skill that works with Claude Code, Cursor and Codex and basically turns a codebase into an interactive architecture map.

You can export it as HTML/PNG/SVG/WebM, and one thing I thought was pretty cool is that you can diff the architecture before a merge to see how a PR changes the system.

2. boneyard-js
https://boneyard.vercel.app

Generates skeleton screens from your actual UI instead of making you manually recreate the layout with placeholder components.

Pretty nice alternative to manually maintaining react-loading-skeleton stuff.

3. Gradient Studio
https://gradientsaas.blogspot.com

Simple procedural CSS gradient generator.

Has stuff like mesh gradients, aurora effects and grain. You mess with the settings and copy the result as CSS, Tailwind or SCSS.

I've been using it mostly for quick landing page backgrounds.

What's one tool you keep recommending that somehow still isn't very well known?

Les dejo un pequeño tip para que encuentren trabajo: en base a que soy RECLUTADOR INTERNACIONAL y tengo 15+ años de experiencia contratando.

¡LOS PROCESOS HAN CAMBIADO!

Un video de presentación ya no es el futuro del reclutamiento, es el presente. Las nuevas generaciones crecieron con la cámara encendida todo el día: gamers en vivo, influencers grabándose sin parar. Esa generación no le tiene miedo a un video de presentación como aplicación de trabajo; para ellos eso es normal.

Las empresas que sigan pidiendo solo un PDF se van a quedar atrás (todos son IA hoy día) y los candidatos que NO ENVÍEN su video de presentación ni los tomarán en cuenta.

Si estás buscando trabajo REAL en LinkedIn (no scams/posts fantasma) tienen que cumplir estos requisitos:

1-La vacante tiene menos de 30 días publicada

2-Puedes ver quién es el hiring manager

3-La página de la empresa es real, con contenido reciente

4-Hay personas reales interactuando con esos posts (comentarios, likes genuinos)

5-El botón te deja aplicar rápido o te manda directo al career page oficial de la empresa.

No me funen por decir la verdad, espero les sirva de algo!

International Address Validation

Is anybody validating international addresses at scale, 60K+ contacts? US address I can validate against USPS, but I am working with a client that is truly global B2B and haven't uncovered an effective way to validate minimally that the city, state/province/county, postal code are all valid. About 50% of the 60K are European, any good low cost options?
