WordPress allow plugin and theme authors to display notices in the admin area to keep users informed about new features and updates. However at the speed WordPress ecosystem is growing, the admin notices can get out of control. Updating your plugins and seeing half your screen covered with admin notices is extremely annoying. However, it’s even more frustrating as plugin authors because we’re the ones that get blamed for it. Then of course there are plugins who misuse admin notices for promotional purposes. Some that you can’t even close. After seeing Jeff’s article on WPTavern and reading some of the comments, we felt compelled to write about this topic and offer a suggestion that can possibly fix the problem. If you think admin notices are getting out of control, then you should know that it’s only going to get worst (unless something is done about it). Currently there 44,000+ WordPress plugins in the official plugin directory. Not including thousands that are hosted … [Read more...] about Does WordPress Need a Notification Center?

PSA: Thunderbolt 3 cables longer than 0.5m generally don’t support USB 3.1 speeds
AppleInsider is supported by its audience and may earn commission as an Amazon Associate and affiliate partner on qualifying purchases. These affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. USB-C is the future of computer connectivity, but there is a great deal of confusion over USB-C, Thunderbolt 3, USB 3.1, and what any given cable with USB-C connectors is capable of. AppleInsider breaks it all down. Apple introduced USB-C to its user base with the retina 12-inch MacBook. At the time, it was a fancy USB port limited to USB 3.0 speeds of 5Gbit per second, and was officially called USB 3.1 Type-C Generation 1. The same physical port was used in the 2016 MacBook Pro refresh, offering a faster, more capable Thunderbolt 3 port with the same USB-C physical connector. The Thunderbolt 3 protocol allows for 40Gbit per second — assuming the cabling for it is right. But, right now, confusion reigns — and a simple choice that Apple made in the 2016 … [Read more...] about PSA: Thunderbolt 3 cables longer than 0.5m generally don’t support USB 3.1 speeds

New council for assessment of health insurance payments needed: doctors
Dr Trần Đình Tuấn, deputy head of Tây Nguyên Eyes Hospital in Đắk Lắk Province, said the Việt Nam Social Insurance should offer clear guidance to health facilities on the kind of payments covered under the health insurance fund. — VNS Photo Gia Lộc Viet Nam News HCM CITY — An independent council for professional assessment of health care techniques, medicine and clinical records should be established to determine which payments can be covered by the health insurance fund, experts have recommended. The assessors currently working for Việt Nam Social Insurance do not have sufficient qualifications, doctors said at a meeting held on Monday in HCM City. “Few assessors are doctors,” said Dr Nguyễn Đắc Lực, head of Y Đức General Health Clinic, in Đồng Nai Province’s Biên Hòa City. Many of the assessors are accountants or graduates of two-year pharmaceutical training courses, and lack expertise to determine which techniques and medicines are proper for patient … [Read more...] about New council for assessment of health insurance payments needed: doctors

With the varieties of USB and Thunderbolt terminology floating about, as well as new versions being adopted by Apple and other device producers, sorting out the mess can be a problem. Here's what you need to know about USB 3, USB 4, Thunderbolt 3, and Thunderbolt 4. For most users, there are two general families of multi-purpose connections: USB and Thunderbolt. Both have their benefits and their foibles, as well as sharing many characteristics, but the two technology trees are, largely, quite different. If you don't read any further, here's your main takeaway: The term "USB-C" by itself doesn't specify anything for data, charging, or video beyond the physicality of the connector. But, as you might expect, there are a lot of details behind USB … [Read more...] about USB 3, USB 4, Thunderbolt, & USB-C — everything you need to know

Renewable energy badly needs own zoning plan
Renewable energy badly needs own zoning plan The Saigon Times Daily Hundreds of solar power projects have either been submitted to authorities for approval or have begun construction nationwide, but the execution and operation of such projects are facing uncertainties due to the absence of a separate master zoning plan for renewable power in general and solar power in particular. This will cost both the national economy and investors dearly. To date, consideration and approval for solar power projects are mainly based on the adjusted Master Plan for Power Development to 2020 with a vision to 2030, pursuant to a decision by the Prime Minister in March 2016 approving the adjustment. Under the master plan, the total output of solar power should be some 850MW by 2020 and 4,000MW by 2025. Such targets have been beaten. As of the end of 2018, the total output of solar power projects approved by authorities had already exceeded 2,000MW, while the combined output of projects queuing up … [Read more...] about Renewable energy badly needs own zoning plan
