    1. We define a crisis as a sudden (non-linear) event or series of events that significantly harms, in a relatively short period of time, the wellbeing of a large number of people (Homer-Dixon et al., Reference Homer-Dixon, Walker, Biggs, Crépin, Folke, Lambin, Peterson, Rockström, Scheffer, Steffen and Troell2015).Footnote

      for - critique - definition - crisis - perhaps interpret less anthropocentrically? - extend to non-human organisms as well?

    1. This is a bit awkward since TypeScript already defines its own thing called Iterator purely for type-checking. So due to this unfortunate name clash, TypeScript needs to introduce a separate type to describe these native/built-in iterable iterators.
    1. The extension runs a command using your shell’s interactive mode, so that version managers configured in files such as ~/.zshrc are picked up automatically. The command then exports the environment information into JSON, so that we can inject it into the NodeJS process and appropriately set the Ruby version and gem installation paths.

      Makes sense, but some of these solutions sure seem like roundabout/unideal solutions

    1. As you've seen, there is no DM system, but you can invite users to chat directly. More generally, consider commenting on the question itself and @-ing the user who made the edit(s). To my understanding, this should work, and it may allow for a quick explanation that doesn't require going in to chat.

      I think commenting in the context of question is better than a DM, though I don't always like making my question "messy" by having a bunch of comments under it... but maybe that is the best way.

    1. Some frameworks call this “template inheritance”. In this example, we might say that the application layout “inherits from” or “extends” the base layout. In Rails, this is known as nested layouts, and it is a bit awkward to use. The standard Rails practice for nested layouts is complicated and involves these considerations
    2. But what if you want to reuse one layout within another?

    1. I ran into the same problem and never really found a good answer via the test objects. The only solution I saw was to actually update the session via a controller. I defined a new action in one of my controllers from within test_helper (so the action does not exist when actually runnning the application). I also had to create an entry in routes. Maybe there’s a better way to update routes while testing. So from my integration test I can do the following and verfiy: assert(session[:fake].nil?, “starts empty”) v = ‘Yuck’ get ‘/user_session’, :fake => v assert_equal(v, session[:fake], “value was set”)
    1. I make a file named: app/models/active_storage/attachment.rb. Because it's in your project it takes loading precedence over the Gem version. Then inside we load the Gem version, and then monkeypatch it using class_eval: active_storage_gem_path = Gem::Specification.find_by_name('activestorage').gem_dir require "#{active_storage_gem_path}/app/models/active_storage/attachment" ActiveStorage::Attachment.class_eval do acts_as_taggable on: :tags end The slightly nasty part is locating the original file, since we can't find it normally because our new file takes precedence. This is not necessary in production, so you could put a if Rails.env.production? around it if you like I think.

    1. Right now without your help, without support from loyal readers, we will not be able to continue publishing. Since Google has decided to dominate online advertising and destroyed small ad agencies, ad rates for independent sites have diminished to a trickle. Please ask yourself: Have we helped you choose movies that are appropriate for your family? Then make sure we continue publishing by becoming a sustaining member for as little as $1 a month -- that's the price of a small coffee, only once a month. It's up to you.

    1. There are ways to create aspect-ratio sized boxes in HTML/CSS today. None of the options are particularly elegant because they rely on the “hack” of setting a zero height and pushing the boxes height with padding. Wouldn’t it be nicer to have a platform feature to help us here?

    1. They claim that they deduplicate runtimes. I question how much can really be shared between different branches when everything is recompiled. How much has /usr changed between releases of Ubuntu? I would guess just about all of it.

    1. while with server/externalFetch there is no direct way to pass cookie headers from the original request to the external one
    2. Right now I am working around this issue by having an internal [...api].js, then call fetch for that endpoint (which automatically passes on cookies) and from there hit the actual external endpoint. It works, there is no risk of leaking anything, but imo shouldn't be necessary.
    3. I am currently circumventing this issue by using getSession to have access to the cookies/headers in the load method

      We did something similar for a while...

    4. that is not ideal, since for example 'Cookie' is a forbidden header name, so I have to start worrying about env in load, which is kind of contra to its design.

    1. Global air traffic is expected to double to 8.2 billion passengers in 2037, according to IATA, which predicts that aviation's 2019 emissions peak of around 900 million metric tons of CO2 will be exceeded within the next two to three years.At the same time, the window to cut the world's reliance on fossil fuels and avoid catastrophic changes to the climate is closing rapidly. The International Energy Agency forecasts that aviation's share of global carbon emissions will increase to 3.5% by 2030 from just over 2.5% in 2019 in the absence of efforts to further decarbonize.

    1. With JavaScript, you can actually calculate the width of the scrollbar and whether it’s visible by comparing two properties—window.innerWidth and document.body.clientWidth. If these are equal, the scrollbar isn’t visible. If these are different, we can subtract the body width from the window width to get the width of the scrollbar:const scrollbarWidth = window.innerWidth - document.body.clientWidthWe’ll want to perform this both on page load and on resize, in case someone resizes the window vertically and changes the overflow. Then, once we have the scrollbar width, we can assign it as a CSS variable:document.body.setProperty("--scrollbarWidth", `${scrollbarWidth}px`)

      missing feature: vw/vh can't be used "directly" because doesn't account for scrollbars

    1. After some searching i found a stack overflow problem that didn't fix my issue but anyhow… I simply used a little ruby and the capybara library to find the field myself with some case insensitive regex and the ruby detect method

    1. If I were to sum up why in one sentence, it's because I don't miss useEffect. I understand why it exists, I understand the approach React takes, and there are benefits of its approach. But writing complex React components feels more like admin; a constant worry that I'll miss a dependency in my useEffect call and end up crashing my browser session. With Svelte I don't have that lingering feeling, and that's what I've come to enjoy.
    2. One gripe I've had with this approach is that you lose the visual cues that you're passing children into the Box component; they now aren't nested within the Box when you render them like we're used to in HTML; it's now up to you to read the props and spot which ones are being used to provide children.
    3. Here's where I start to have a preference for Svelte; the two are very similar but once I got used to Svelte I found that React felt like jumping through hoops. You can't create a worker instance, it has to go in a useRef, and then you can't easily pull code out into a function without then requiring useCallback so it can be a safe dependency on useEffect. With Svelte I write code that's closer to "plain" JavaScript, whereas in React more of my code is wrapped in a React primitive.
    4. because React components are re-executed every time the component re-renders, you can easily end up with thousands of workers being created! It's essential to use useRef to avoid this problem by maintaining a reference to the worker that you've created.
    1. If you really want this, I suggest you write a little function that extracts the executable name from the .desktop file and runs it. Add these lines to your shell's initialization file (e.g. ~/.bashrc): runDesktop () { eval "$(awk -F= '$1=="Exec"{$1=""; print}' "$1")" } Then, you can run your .desktop file with runDesktop ~/Desktop/slack.desktop
    1. A solution is almost indicated in the question: hinder xdg-open from choosing exo-open. A brute-force approach is to copy /usr/bin/xdg-open to /usr/local/bin (/usr/local/bin is earlier in PATH unless PATH has been modified) and to patch it to use open_generic instead of exo_open (unlike the XFCE4-specific exo-open, open_generic does honor xdg mime types)
    1. Dave Rupert has a good solution that uses an input's invalid event. Instead of using the :invalid pseudo selector, he adds a CSS class to the input when it becomes invalid. We will extend this approach by removing the CSS class when the element becomes valid again.
    1. Validating forms has notoriously been a painful development experience. Implementing client side validation in a user friendly, developer friendly, and accessible way is hard. Before HTML5 there was no means of implementing validation natively; therefore, developers have resorted to a variety of JavaScript based solutions.
    1. You need to create a copy of the method or the class of your callable task in order to fix this and have two identical steps.

    1. So how are we going to create a model that doesn’t have a database table behind it? There are several potential solutions including various plugins but we’re going to use the method described in an entry on the Code Tunes blog. This shows a techinque that involves overriding a couple of methods in an ActiveRecord model and then manually defining the columns in the model file rather than in the database table. In our Recommendation model we’ll add in the two overridden methods and then use the column class method to define the columns in a similar way to how they’re defined in a migration file.

      Does this still work in Rails 6? I wonder.

    1. With the introduction of CPUs which ran faster than the original 4.77 MHz Intel 8088 used in the IBM Personal Computer, programs which relied on the CPU's frequency for timing were executing faster than intended. Games in particular were often rendered unplayable. To provide some compatibility, the "turbo" button was added. Engaging turbo mode slows the system down to a state compatible with original 8086/8088 chips.
    1. many successful projects have proven that you can develop high-quality code more rapidly (and cost effectively) this way than with the traditional pipelined approach
    1. There is nothing wrong with accepts_nested_attributes_for. This is what you should use in your typical case. My post describes a non-typical case. ContactListForm is not an ActiveRecord object, it is an object that includes ActiveModel::Model, which does not support accepts_nested_attributes_for.
    1. If you need your grid to utilize a gap between columns / rows, you won't be able to use the gap property when using this method. You'd instead need to resort to some negative margin manipulation to handle the extra gap space.
    1. I hope we see new CSS capabilities arise that allow this sort of effect without the need for trickery.
    2. Since CSS doesn’t (yet) offer a way to style grid cells, areas, or tracks directly, we have to stretch elements over the parts we want to style independently from the elements that contain content.

    1. https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1037#issuecomment-737872461

      Explanation (from https://github.com/sveltejs/svelte/issues/1037#issuecomment-739458005):

      @AlexGalays register is an action created and passed in from the parent node (Wrapper) which allows the child to register with it. Not builtin to svelte.

      That's very clever @PatrickG. Nice one. I was a bit confused when first looking at it to understand what was going on, but I think that will be a handy tool in the toolbox.

      But why do we need this? If we remove all use:register, it still toggles just fine. Seems the only benefit is that this allows cleanup.

    1. Disk space is an issue. Resource usage is an issue. Those new packages nowadays need huge amount of storage to finally do the exact same thing as their older and lighter deb counterpart. Whatever the price of storage, it’s the opposite of a progress, it’s not optimal at all.

    1. Yarn only runs the postinstall hook after yarn and yarn add, but not after yarn remove. The postinstall-postinstall package is used to make sure your postinstall hook gets executed even after a yarn remove.
    1. It seems being able to bind:this={slotEl} directly on a slot element is a popular request. I'll add my +1 as adding div wrappers just to get dom references gets old really fast.

    1. # Run once, hold otherwise if [ -f "already_ran" ]; then echo "Already ran the Entrypoint once. Holding indefinitely for debugging." cat fi touch already_ran
    2. Edit this file (corresponding to your stopped container): vi /var/lib/docker/containers/923...4f6/config.json Change the "Path" parameter to point at your new command, e.g. /bin/bash. You may also set the "Args" parameter to pass arguments to the command. Restart the docker service (note this will stop all running containers):
    1. Thanks so much for the reply! Due to space limitations for comments, I have appended my reply to my original question. Thanks again! (P.S. I can't up-vote your reply until my rep hits 15... Sorry about that.)
    1. If this is getting implemented, I think I'll love to see both implemented. I can see a lot of use cases where I would like to encapsulate the component with additional wrappers and in another scenarios I would like to just use the component. Now i work around this using empty div but then at times it breaks the structure because of the div element and I'll have to add more class utilities to make it work. This will be a great addition for Svelte.

    1. Use the same value that was submitted, which ensures that a 'change' is triggered even though the value itself doesn't change. Therefore, the same value gets validated again.

      Calling it "change" even though it didn't change is kind of cheating/abuse ... but I guess it's okay...??

        mutateValue([name], state, { changeValue }) {
          // change the value to the same value, thus
          // triggering a revalidation of the same value
          changeValue(state, name, value => value);
        }
      
    1. In highlighting the dangers of big-up-front-design (BUFD) and waterfall development, Agilists seem to advocate no-up-front-design (NUFD) or no-up-front-requirements (NUFR) or no-up-front-architecture (NUFA).
    1. This is a very dangerous practice as each optimization means making assumptions. If you are compressing an image you make an assumption that some payload can be cut out without seriously affecting the quality, if you are adding a cache to your backend you assume that the API will return same results. A correct assumption allows you to spare resources. A false assumption introduces a bug in your app. That’s why optimizations should be done consciously.
    1. I think logic-less templates are overrated. We already have logic in components with {#if} so I don't see what the concern is about logic in templates.

    1. Mustache is described as a "logic-less" system because it lacks any explicit control flow statements, like if and else conditionals or for loops

    1. Also, I'm starting to wonder if maybe it's okay to have multiple spreads? If the alternative to <Foo {...a} {...b} {...c} d={42}> is that people will write <Foo {...Object.assign({}, a, b, c)} d={42}> anyway, then do we gain anything with the constraint?
    1. Force everything to the git root per NPM lameness
    2. For a non-monorepo package you can simply point directly to the Github repo. This case is similar, but you want to scope it just to a single package within the repo. For those that make monorepos they don't necessarily need this feature. It's for those that use projects that use monorepos. Telling them to not organize their projects into monorepos doesn't help people who make use of these projects.
    3. npm's inability to handle monorepos then i'd have designed my repos accordingly

    1. I could add .json on the end, but that would mean hacking away at angularjs, which is doing the right thing. I would rather find a good solution and hack away at rails, which is doing the wrong thing :)
    2. In that case I would suggest to use .xml or .json format to eliminate accept header parsing issue.

      Avoid using a perfectly good feature (accept header negotiation) just because browsers screwed things up?

    3. Safari sends following order application/xml (q is 1) application/xhtml+xml (q is 1) image/png (q is 1) text/html (q is 0.9) text/plain (q is 0.8) \*/\* (q is 0.5) So you visit www.myappp.com in safari and if the app supports .xml then Rails should render .xml file. This is not what user wants to see. User wants to see .html page not .xml page.

    1. Creating and calling a default proc is a waste of time, and Cramming everything into one line using tortured constructs doesn't make the code more efficient--it just makes the code harder to understand.

      The nature of this "answer" is a comment in response to another answer. But because of the limitations SO puts on comments (very short length, no multi-line code snippets), comment feature could not actually be used, so this user resorted to "abusing" answer feature to post their comment instead.

    1. Yes, traditional scenario load tests are naturally in the risk zone of being axed in the name of this-step-is-taking-too-long as load tests need time to ramp-up and execute the user journeys with the simulated traffic to gain enough measurements that can be acted on. This is why we don’t recommend load tests to be run on every commit for scenario type load tests, but rather in the frequency range of “daily” for performance regression type tests. When merging code into a release branch or as a nightly build perhaps, so that you can have your snazzy load test report with your morning coffee before you’ve settled into your zone!

    1. ssh doesn't let you specify a command precisely, as you have done, as a series of arguments to be passed to execvp on the remote host. Instead it concatenates all the arguments into a string and runs them through a remote shell. This stands out as a major design flaw in ssh in my opinion... it's a well-behaved unix tool in most ways, but when it comes time to specify a command it chose to use a single monolithic string instead of an argv, like it was designed for MSDOS or something!

    1. This problem can also come up when you use npm link or an equivalent. In that case, your bundler might “see” two Reacts — one in application folder and one in your library folder. Assuming myapp and mylib are sibling folders, one possible fix is to run npm link ../myapp/node_modules/react from mylib. This should make the library use the application’s React copy.

    1. Setting up Nginx properly requires quite a bit of work. Using websockets or using Rails streaming? Make sure you disable response buffering for the relevant URIs, otherwise they won’t work correctly. Phusion Passenger 5’s builtin reverse proxy does the right thing by default, without any configuration. In other words: it’s all about making things simple.

    1. I was so fed up of the mega amounts of boilerplate with Redux and the recommendation of keeping your data loading at view level. It seems to me that things like this, with components being responsible for their own data, is the way to go in the future.

    1. Hot Module Replacement (HMR) builds on top of the WDS. It enables an interface that makes it possible to swap modules live. For example, style-loader can update your CSS without forcing a refresh. As CSS is stateless by design, implementing HMR for it's ideal.
