Driver management through Selenium Manager is opt-in for the Selenium bindings. Thus, users can continue managing their drivers manually (putting the driver in the PATH or using system properties) or rely on a third-party driver manager to do it automatically. Selenium Manager only operates as a fallback: if no driver is provided, Selenium Manager will come to the rescue.

dreaming can be seen as the "default" position for the activated brain

I just wanted to tweak Java's BufferedReader to handle custom line delimiters. Thanks to private fields I have to clone the entire class rather than simply extending it and overriding readLine().

the right 'default' setting

simonhong commented Dec 11, 2020 @pitsi That homepage option is related with below homepage option. If homepage is configured, new tab will show that url. Loading local html file in new tab is not supported.

Changing the second line to: foo.txt text !diff would restore the default unset-ness for diff, while: foo.txt text diff will force diff to be set (both will presumably result in a diff, since Git has presumably not previously been detecting foo.txt as binary).

In the absence of fonts specified in the webpage itself, Safari will use its default font, Time New Roman. However, TNR does not have glyphs in the range shown on this page so Safari cascades to its default for each Unicode range.

With JSON Schema, you don't have to specify things. The syntax is declarative and adds restrictions. So if you don't want a restriction on the type of value that's allowed, don't use the type keyword.

Inspirée du Règlement général sur la protection des données (RGPD) de l’Union européenne, la nouvelle loi québécoise place la barre plus haut en introduisant de nouvelles normes pour les droits individuels à la vie privée

in many ways, Law 25 is the most stringent of the three regimes

Privacy by default: Bill 64’s “confidentiality by default” clause is far broader in scope and significantly more stringent than the “privacy by design” concept under the GDPR. The CCPA does not provide for this concept at all, instead taking an “after-the-event” remedial approach. 

La confidentialité par défaut : La clause de "confidentialité par défaut" du projet de loi 64 a une portée beaucoup plus vaste et est beaucoup plus stricte que le concept de "confidentialité par conception" prévu par le RGPD. Le CCPA adopte plutôt une approche corrective "après coup".

Note: Git 2.6+ (Q3 2015) will propose that in command line: see "Why does git log not default to git log --follow?" Note: Git 2.6.0 has been released and includes this feature. Following path changes in the log command can be enabled by setting the log.follow config option to true as in: git config log.follow true

Ruby's keyword args work a little differently than similar implementations (selectors in Objective C, for instance). The value on the right-hand side of the colon is the default, not the local name.

# ActiveStorage defaults to security via obscurity approach to serving links # If this is acceptable for your use case then this authenticable test can be # removed. If not then code should be added to only serve files appropriately. # https://edgeguides.rubyonrails.org/active_storage_overview.html#proxy-mode def authenticated? raise StandardError.new "No authentication is configured for ActiveStorage" end

I think this is important, and I'd love to help making ActiveStorage a more secure place.

But in GraphQL, all types are nullable by default, and you opt into non-nullability

In other typed languages, like TypeScript, Flow, Rust, or Haskell, all types are non-nullable by default, and you opt into nullability.

t.datetime :seen_at, default: { expr: 'NOW()' }

and calls .unarchived and .archived appropriately when passed an ActiveRecord relation.

Highly Secure by Default

Abstract classes offer default functionality for the subclasses.

There are many projects that does not use the master branch as default. For example, Next.js uses the canary branch, the npm CLI and many more other projects uses stuff like prod, production, dev, develop, release, beta, head.

It just happens that most projects chose to be "lazy" (stick to default), opted to use master

The primary branch in git can have any name by design.

In the context of git, the word "master" is not used in the same way as "master/slave". I've never known about branches referred to as "slaves" or anything similar.

Default Values

I'd suggest there ought to be config to disable source maps specifically, and specifically for either CSS or JS (not alwasy both), without turning off debug mode. As you note, debug mode does all sorts of different things that you might want with or without source maps.

# This behavior can be disabled with: # # environment.unregister_postprocessor 'application/javascript', Sprockets::SafetyColons

I totally understand that there may be a majority still considering this a bad practice and thus keeping it disabled by default in production seem ok. But there could at least be an option to enable it for people who want to, no?

hash :with_defaults, default: {} do boolean :likes_cookies, default: true end

enables passive event listeners by default for some events (see list below). It basically will set { passive: true } automatically every time you declare a new event listener.

If nobody objects or can come up with improvements, I'll approve.

const debounceFunc = debounce(1000, false, (num) => {    console.log('num:', num);}); // Can also be used like this, because atBegin is false by defaultconst debounceFunc = debounce(1000, (num) => {    console.log('num:', num);});

Looks like the problem is that debounce defaults to waiting for 0 ms ... which is completely useless!

However, in function components there really isn't much need for this pattern since you can just use JS default arguments

But recently I started to think about default values as some sort of a technical debt ... which is not a straight bad thing but something that could provide some "short term financing" get us to survive the project

Right, and if most uses of an FTP service use new FtpService() the one that sets an alternate port will stand out (service.SetPort(12345))

General rules of thumb

The question about default values in general - default return function values, default parameter values, default logic for when something is missing, default logic for handling exceptions, default logic for handling the edge conditions etc.

For a long time I considered default values to be a "pure evil" thing, something that "cloaks the catastrophe" and results in a very hard do find bugs.

We can catch this by setting up a wildcard on the router() and show an error route instead.

Data that is sent over the network is compressed (optionally) and encrypted (always). When receiving data it must be decrypted and then (if compressed) decompressed.

Most web browsers are set by default to protect your privacy unless you opt for tracking yourself. For example, Internet Explorer automatically enables its “Do Not Track” option and Google Chrome blocks any 3rd-party cookies by default.

Consumers located in the EU are also protected by a default legal 2 year guarantee on products purchased at no additional cost. Here again: 2-years is the statutory minimum

In the US, there is no one national law in regards to returns/refunds for purchases made online as in most cases, this is implemented on a state-by-state basis, however, under several state-laws, if no refund or return notice was made visible to consumers before purchase, consumers are automatically granted extended return/refund rights. In cases where the item purchased is defective, an implied warranty may apply in lieu of a written warranty

While there are security benefits to disallowing unsigned extensions by default, it is not clear why there is no option to turn off this behavior, perhaps by making it configurable only with administrator rights.

These are called default-initialized parameters.

In TypeScript, we can also set a value that a parameter will be assigned if the user does not provide one, or if the user passes undefined in its place.

buildName(undefined, "Adams")

If a default-initialized parameter comes before a required parameter, users need to explicitly pass undefined to get the default initialized value.
