    1. I am just surprised that there is no clear official name for such a popular and well known convention.  Internet searching seems to indicate that the common term used is "Red Squiggly Line", but it seems like a term quickly made-up just to describe something for which we know no name.  There's a technical name for the dot on an "i" for goodness sake (tittle).

    1. "Dieses desaströse Szenario zeigt die Klimaschutzblockade der ÖVP auf", sagt Jasmin Duregger von Greenpeace zu dem Bericht. Er müsse ein Weckruf für die Regierung sein, überfällige Maßnahmen wie das Klimaschutzgesetz oder das Erneuerbare-Wärme-Gesetz zu verabschieden. "Der Sprung ist zu schaffen", sagt Duregger.

      Das Umweltbundesamt stellt in einem Bericht für die EU dar, wie es um den Klimaschutz in Österreich steht. Bisher wurde fast nichts erreicht. Die Emissionen sind heute kaum geringer als 1990. Was noch viel schlimmer ist: Selbst wenn die beschlossenen Maßnahmen greifen, kommt Österreichr 2050 nicht auf Netto-Null – wie es die EU beschlossen hat –, sondern auf 55 Millionen Tonnen CO2-Äquivalente in einem Jahr. https://www.derstandard.de/story/2000145820076/oesterreich-droht-an-klimazielen-krachend-zu-scheitern

    1. COGNITIVE CONSEQUENCES OF FORCED COMPLIANCE

      The title of the article immediately made me think of the world we are living in now. For example it is becoming more and more evident that the country has mixed opinions on the vaccine. The government, state agencies and other public entities are requiring proof of a vaccine to even enter the premises. Some companies are offering incentives across the country to incentivize the vaccine by offering free products and discounts. To an extent from a medical perspective you want everyone as healthy as possible, but from a freedom perspective it is on the verge of violating an individual's freedom of choice through forced compliance.

    1. We want the GraphQL API to be the primary means of interacting programmatically with GitLab. To achieve this, it needs full coverage - anything possible in the REST API should also be possible in the GraphQL API.

    1. There's nothing to stop you from doing initializer code in a file that lives in app/models. for example class MyClass def self.run_me_when_the_class_is_loaded end end MyClass.run_me_when_the_class_is_loaded MyClass.run_me... will run when the class is loaded .... which is what we want, right? Not sure if its the Rails way.... but its extremely straightforward, and does not depend on the shifting winds of Rails.

    1. This approach is preferable to overriding authenticate_user! in your controller because it won't clobber a lot of "behind the scenes" stuff Devise does (such as storing the attempted URL so the user can be redirected after successful sign in).

    1. Some of the verbs implemented by systemctl are designed to provide a high-level overview in a human readable format. All that information is available over dbus, and/or journalctl, systemctl show. We could provide that information in json format, but there's a second problem. Information and format of information printed by e.g. systemctl status is not stable. Since the output is not suitable for programmatic consumption anyway, there's no need to provide it in a machine readable format.
    2. Although I agree that -o json should return proper JSON, believe the proper way for external tools like SaltStack etc. to talk to systemd is DBus. See also saltstack/salt#20392 - everything else is more or less just hack-ish and prone to break easily.

    1. The Office of Police Oversight has some of the most viewed pages on Alpha. Since April 2020, the number of documents grew exponentially, requiring us to make some changes to the viewing structure. We added "collections" as a way to group like documents together, and have made the documents searchable. Keyword and date search will be available in October 2020.

    1. If you want this control then wrap them in a DOM node that the parent controls. If you want to pass in values then use props and if you want to pass in values from higher up the tree, the new style RFC may be able to help.
    1. Hopefully, this clarifies our position on using CSS to solve this problem
    2. There are tools in Svelte that break this expectation to a degree, but they are a bit annoying to use, which makes it an active decision on the part of the developer. The API hints at the way we want you to do things because we feel that this will give the better experience.
    3. What we don't want to happen is to bless an approach that inverts this control, allowing an arbitrary parent to impact the inner-workings of a component.
    4. Most of the linked issues, as well as this RFC, attempt to solve this problem by relaxing Svelte's CSS scoping rules, providing a better API with which to use global, or by manually passing down classes. We have never found this to be an acceptable solution which is why those issues have been closed. That position has not changed.

    1. How do you leverage browser cache when Google’s very own Analytics.js has it’s expiry time set to 2 hours? How do you minimize DNS requests when Google advices you to copy their tracking code, linking to an externally hosted Javascript file?If that isn’t bad enough already, Google’s advice is to avoid hosting the JavaScript file locally. And why? To ensure you get access to new features and product updates.
