        • Life is not easily bounded
      • Subtitle
        • Working out where one hare ends and another begins is easy; a siphonophore, not so much. What is an individual in nature?

        • this article delves into the subject of defining what an individual is
          • what makes a biological organism the same or different from another biological organism?

    1. I find Alt + right-click + drag to be the most convenient way to do this.

      On PopOS, the default seems to be Super + right click drag

      Took me some research to try to figure it out though (because on the Ubuntu system I came from, it was Super + middle click drag). I wish it were a bit more discoverable.

    1. For pluggability, an endpoint is split into a Protocol and an Adapter part. This separates generic logic from environment-dependent code.
    2. Note how a handful of default steps lead into six standardized termini, allowing to plug protocols into different adapters. Imagine replacing your self-written API adapter with a canonical JSON-API adapter, for example.

    1. That’s pretty gnarly. While the name of the constant LOOSE_APP_ASSETS gives me some idea of what it does, it still takes a second to wrap your mind around. If you were trying to figure out what assets are being precompiled and you did a puts config.assets.precompile that lambda object would be utterly baffling.

    1. Save time with AutomationsAutomate the repetitive work in seconds so you can avoid human error and focus on what matters

      It gives the impression of software that its highly automated which implies that it is good for client for who want to save time and manage team members easily.

    1. In addition, PPAs are awful for software discovery. Average users have no idea what a PPA is, nor how to configure or install software from it. Part of the point of snap is to make software discovery easier. We can put new software in the “Editor’s Picks” in Ubuntu Software then people will discover and install it. Having software in a random PPA somewhere online is only usable by experts. Normal users have no visibility to it.

    1. Or, to echo @jeremy in #24417 (comment 215479841): Yay for hotkeys, but I had no idea until ... Let's make this useful feature more discoverable!
    2. "2 years ago": Note that you can already automatically quote part of a previous comment by selecting it and pressing the r key. Me: Wait, what, you mean this feature — which I have often wished for, and people keep asking for (#217171, opened 2 months ago) — has already existed in GitLab for over 2 years and I just didn't realize it?! In fact, I was just coming to suggest this feature when I found these existing open issues. :)
    3. Yes I agree. No one brother to find this feature except system admin and no one know a R shortcut.
    1. I just learned (from #24417 and #21316) that this feature actually exists already — it's just only available via a hot key (select some text and press r to quote some text for reply) so it's not easily discoverable.
    1. On a side note, I just learned that you can do this now by highlighting text in an issue and pressing r. Yay for hotkeys, but I had no idea until I read about it in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/issues/43716

    1. For example, if error messages in two narrowly defined classes behave in the same way, the classes can be easily combined. But if some messages in a broad class behave differently, every object in the class must be examined before the class can be split. This illustrates the principle that "splits can be lumped more easily than lumps can be split".
