You should only put the theme and any plugins you wrote under source control. There's no reason to track the parts out of your control.
It also used to be the case that if the auto-updater detected source control on core, it would disable auto-updates.(manual updates initiated from the dashboard still can happen)
I subcontract with marketing companies so I work with some aspect of WordPress development on a daily basis. The standard groupthink from WordPress evangelists is that the security problems are behind us -- that WordPress core hasn't had a serious vulnerability in years, core has a review process, blame your out of date installations and inexperienced plugin developers.
For those not in the know, the REST API is something new to wordpress. Developers could get early access thru a plugin, but the API now comes included with WP4.7. There is so much buzz and excitement, even among wordpress people who have no idea what REST really is, few people questioned it because this meant WordPress can now take over the world.
I for one questioned it. When I saw REST enabled in 4.7 without a control to disable it my literal reaction was "Are you FUCKING kidding me???" I have experience in security. I understand attack surfaces. I have seen what a fiasco xmlrpc.php attacks are to wordpress. And these idiots open REST APIs to the internet by default? Jesus fucking Christ, I really don't think Matt Mullenweg or any of the other idiots running the WordPress show have any ability to learn from history.
Sadly, there is no evidence of other CMS's surpassing WP in popularity. You should get used to WordPress continuing to be the sendmail of php apps.
The problem of living in an insular part of the country is that you lose touch with the other half. When the Mozilla board of directors runs the foundation like their pet political project they are guaranteed to stay a tiny niche product. That's not very healthy when people get you depend on volume for your ad revenue.
Some people will never learn. They will think the "racists" ruined their ivory tower.
Their stuff never works as well as expected unless you go way up into the pro series. Even then, it's a dirty feeling to give them any money and should be avoided.
It's best that the docs went public. If the docs were sent to Trump privately, when Trump calls out their propaganda narrative, the media will spin it like a conspiracy theory. Hillary will of course deny anything Trump says to bolster the media stories. Low information people won't know who to believe and the 24 hour news cycle repeats itself.
Having the documents public shows everyone how specious and premeditated the attacks against Trump are. The media already prints an endless stream of garbage so the playbook will instantly be spun as "old news." Having the donor lists released will be a much bigger deal.
Your continual linking to politifact either shows that you are low information or suffering from left wing confirmation bias. It's well known that politifact is a front website for a leftwing newspaper set up similar to the way Media Matters is searching for "truth" in journalism.
Mexico could become a better place today if they wanted to. They obviously don't. Building the wall will force their hand at cleaning up their own problems because they won't be able to send their overflow north. The wall is a brilliant solution on many levels. The $30bn (one time) is chump change compared to our GDP. Our annual trade imbalance with Mexico alone is nearly double that.
It's time America puts its own interests first. This scares a lot of foreign leaders because Trump can't be bought like the other clowns still in the race.
Hillary's business requirement was avoiding scrutiny and FOIA requests.
She got away with it for several years after leaving office too. It wasn't until researchers started asking judges why all of the secretary of state emails were missing.
So now Hillary treats it like a case of bad press stories... so she still might technically get away with it. Loretta Lynch/Obama have "discretion" over whether this gets referred to the legal system.
Most regular citizens are dumbfounded at the level of corruption and criminality. Hillary is counting on the public to get corruption fatigue by using redirection and the "everyone is doing it" defense.
It wasn't a waste of time because at the time, the de facto version control system was CVS. Or in the case of the kernel, finding patches thru the mailing list archives. (no VCS)
Subversion was brand new and trying to jockey for kernel acceptance. Practically nobody could wrap their brain around the concept of a fully distributed VCS. Many claimed it couldn't be done.
McVoy had the ear of Linus and implemented what Linus wanted to a large degree. If not for the commercial aspirations of McVoy, we'd all happily be using BitBucket. Git never would have been written.
So love him or hate him, Larry McVoy has played a crucial role in advancing VCS technology.
Google has put a ton of effort into Go, why not add that as a first class language as well?
I suppose Go/Java syntax are "close enough" at a high level. But kotlin? There are only so many ways to shuffle C & Pascal syntax before everyone is dazed and loses interest.
A terminal isn't much good when the operating system is built on a bunch of blackbox utilities.
They give you this weird "SystemStarter" bullshit instead of sysvinit. And the utilities like ps are dumb (no -ef option). GNU solved all of these core utility problems.
Being on a mac is like returning to a 1980s unix environment mixed with propriety registries.
Not even close. I choose windows if those are my only two options.
I despise os x. I worked at a university for a year which was really proud to give me a brand new macbook pro. I hated it every day.
Take the basic task of editing a web file. I have my editor (vim) open in one window and the browser in another. I click a link on the browser and while it's loading, switch to typing in my editor. I see another link that I want after the page loads and click on it. In windows and linux, the link loads. In osx, the browser comes to the foreground and does abso-fucking-nothing!!! Literally the most frustrating and concentration breaking thing. And it happens all fucking day long. Let's not talk about the lackluster command line environment, no GNU tools out of the box, ugly system fonts, non-standard filesystem structure, weird case rules, single menu bar away from the app window, backwards control/alt keys, hidden virtual files (iphotos library) etc.
A mac might be fine accessory for an ipod owner who doesn't know anything. But it is a serious obstruction for anyone who needs to do real work.

There's not a great solution, only unperfection options.
They could use a managed website platform like SqureSpace.
Or if they need WordPress, a less than tech savvy user can hire a professional management service like WP Site Care or OnSiteWP.

I wish I had points to mod you up. It's rare to hear that point of view without name calling.
The Arctic "was enormously warm, like totally off the charts compared to everything else," said Gavin Schmidt
Gavin, wow, that is shocking. How much warmer is it from last year?
Gavin: "0.1 degree!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Me: Rolls eyes, ok global warming kook.

A national text goes out.
Or you could type in normal fucking english and not have a problem.
If you buy sony, you are part of the problem.

Technology is bigger in the sense that more than the US uses technology.
Mixing government and private sector tech blurs the issues in an unnatural way.
Totally agree. Merging the reputation of cheap chinese crap electronics with the masculinity of a frenchman.
They better have an exceptional product for that to work. (and rumors are that they don't)
Ah yes, the new standard "there's no evidence" excuse.
The same "no evidence" was true of Debbie rigging the Democrat primary... until the emails were released and behold an armory of smoking guns.
"It's hard to imagine Apple turning away tried and true technology that's found in a more popular browser..." reports The Next Web
Nope, sorry The Next Web, you must be new here.
It's not hard to imagine Apple turning away popular technology at all. They have done so repeatedly throughout their history. Walled garden anyone?
Nothing has changed in the past 4 years if you think $189 is a wise amount to spend on a new laptop. (or that HP is a good brand for such laptop)

That sounds like a lot of turning off and I assume re-turning off at every update.
I'll stick with 7 for now. As a non-gaming adult, win10 has nothing compelling and a whole lot of clicky-esque garbage.

Looks more like a downward trending bar graph to me. Makes sense if you've ever had to work with HP.

It's amazing what applying some focus can do in a short period of time.
Kudos.
