In WordPress, you add theme styles and scripts using the trusty wp_enqueue_script and wp_enqueue_style methods. However, by default, your enqueued scripts and styles will be added to your WordPress site as straight scripts.
What happens (and the reason you’re probably here) is the browser will cache your scripts, which is what we want to happen.
There is nothing more frustrating than making a change, only for the client or QA team to say they can’t see the changes, for you to go back then and tell them to do a “hard refresh.”
WordPress is the most popular CMS on the planet, powering over 40% of the internet and continually growing. Despite what you have been told, WordPress isn’t dying, and it’s not the terrible mess some dramatic PHP hating developers make it out to be.
I was tasked with building a WordPress capable of sustaining millions of visitors per minute (a project I can’t reveal the details of just yet). The brief was a platform that could handle upwards of 100,000 visitors per second. Keep in mind this is across hundreds of WordPress Multisite domains, not one single site.
Have you ever been stuck on a problem that makes you feel so stupid, you get a serious case of impostor syndrome? Welcome to another instalment of Amazon Beanstalk bad UX.
You go to the listeners section in the load balancer configuration section, you get to this popup:
You choose HTTPS, you enter port 443 and you hit add. You see “pending create” in the list and assume that you’ve just configured your load balancer to support HTTPS. All is well.
Neural DSP are hosting one heck of a Black Friday (like years prior) where all of their plugins are 50% off. There is a lot of overlap between their Archetype plugins especially, so what should you buy if you can’t afford them all?
TL;DR buy the Gojira, Henson and Fortin Cali plugins (if you can afford all of them). Can only afford one? The Fortin Cali is a solid purchase.
So, you bought the Quad Cortex. A floor modeller marketed as the most powerful modeller on the planet, but you’ve noticed the delay when switching between presets.
You might not know this, but every competing modeller from the Line 6 Helix through to the Axe-FX suffers from delay when switching presets. The current blocks need to be unloaded, the new ones loaded.
The solution is to use scenes. Think of presets and scenes like this.
The Quad Cortex is great for live use as well as studio settings. If you’re like me, you have the Quad Cortex sitting on your desk, and you interact with it using the screen.
The device isn’t angled, so it can be tricky to adjust things on the screen or get to the inputs and outputs on the back.
Fortunately, the Quad Cortex is similar in size to an Apple Macbook. So, naturally, the solution for a Quad Cortex stand is a laptop stand, specifically, a stand that can be angled and has a flat bottom.
The Battlefield game series is arguably one of the best series that has always prided itself on realism, but at times never been afraid to step outside of the bounds to give fans something different. In Battlefield 2042, we see the series take another step forward, giving Battlefield gaming fans the things they love about the previous entries and some new things as well.
Since the introduction of the Frostbite 3 engine, Battlefield games have been getting a tad more realistic. The levolution mechanic introduced in Battlefield 4 saw maps no longer being static. You could affect them by blowing up buildings, destroying walls and pipelines. Actions that had map-wide consequences.
The Quad Cortext by Neural DSP is an incredible floor modelling device with more inputs and outputs than a swiss army knife. One of the reasons you bought the Quad Cortext might have been the potential and small form factor, as well as the promised ability to run the Neural DSP Archetype VST plugins natively.
Sadly, the Quad Cortex does not allow you to run your plugins on the device itself (yet), but Neural DSP is working on the functionality, and it will eventually come. Until it does, how can you use the plugins with your QC?
The Neural DSP Quad Cortex offers some pretty impressive input and output options. With it, you can record the DI signal (the guitar input without any processing) and the processed amp tracks inside a DAW like Reaper.
It is worth noting that I am on Windows, so for Mac, this might be a little different. For Windows, you also need the official Quad Cortex Asio drivers from here. For macOS, no driver is required.
If you’re getting the error `Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER, SYSTEM_VARIABLES_ADMIN or SESSION_VARIABLES_ADMIN privilege(s) for this operation` while trying to import a database dump you have done using mysqldump, you might have encountered this issue.
In my situation, I am using Amazon Lightsail and migrating a database to a newer database instance. I ran a mysqldump and then attempted to import the dump into the new database.
