    1. The False Promise of Liberal Order: Nostalgia, Delusion and the Rise of ...The False Promise of Liberal Order exposes the flaws in this nostalgic vision. The world shaped by America came about as a result of coercion and, sometimes brutal, compromise. Liberal projects - to spread capitalist democracy - led inadvertently to illiberal results. To make peace, America made bargains with authoritarian forces.
    2. The False Promise | The Project for a New American GovernmentThe false promise of freedom from consequences is baiting into hazard as ignoring consequences must necessarily result in destruction."—Andrew M Gilmour —"Marxism is the tooth fairy of political beliefs. You can't make a credible claim to being an adult and still believe in that nonsense."-Noah J Revoy
    1. Its a bit expensive and was a bit skeptical on purchasing at first but decided to try it and can honestly say its the best investment ive made it cools your seams down in a flash so no more waiting to power stretch allowing you to complete your jobs much faster than before and it also helps to fix a bowed pattern carpet allowing you to actually match your pattern also helps with peaked seams (when youre seam is flawless but then you go to stretch it and its now visible because the seam creates a little mountain) if this thing ever broke down on me i'd happily and easily buy it again and would never go to a jobsite without it, a must have for all carpet installers
    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. If a site tries to charge me for work others do for free I block them. They're not paying these people to review, there's no standard of quality for these reviews. It's not something that should be charged for. Or maybe I just overdo things, I even refuse to use the self-checkouts at stores because there's someone they can pay for that and unless I get a discount for my work I'm not doing it. People keep allowing companies to get away with crap like that and now stores will have 1 employee and 20 self-checkout stations
    2. Self checkouts should be giving us a discount for checking our own selves out. I've learned that you may put items under your cart and accidentally pay yourself by missing an item or two if you're in a pressured rush. Often I forget items in the store because I forget to bag them in a hurry. I figure the score is about even. I'm too lazy to go back and get what I forget by the time I get home. At least we should get a dollar off per $50 spent. It takes me 5 times as long to check myself out.
    1. if an invitee is invited to do business in a store and is injured snooping around in the private storage area, he does not have invitee status in that area. So if the invitee is snooping around in the dark, trips and falls on something, the land occupier is not liable since the snooper exceeded the consent given him/her
    1. If there is no database initialized when the container starts, then a default database will be created. While this is the expected behavior, this means that it will not accept incoming connections until such initialization completes. This may cause issues when using automation tools, such as docker-compose, which start several containers simultaneously. If the application you're trying to connect to MySQL does not handle MySQL downtime or waiting for MySQL to start gracefully, then putting a connect-retry loop before the service starts might be necessary.
    1. the problem with docker builds is the made-up concept of "context". Dockerfiles are not sufficient to define a build, unless they are placed under a strategic directory (aka context), i.e. "/" as an extreme, so you can access any path (note that that's not the right thing to do in a sane project either..., plus it makes docker builds very slow because docker scans the entire context at start).
    1. This is telling the browser that the width of #header should be 100% with a padding of 30px. Since padding is not counted into the width, the actual width ends up to be 100% + 60px. So, in order to make sure this fits into the page, you need to subtract 60px (30px to the left + 30px to the right) from the 100% width and it will fit into the browser. Luckily you are easily able to do this with CSS: #header{ padding: 30px; width: calc(100% - 60px);
    2. Thats because you have both width and padding set to one element. And by default padding is added on top of width. (Making it 100% + 2*30px of width). #header{ padding: 30px; width: 100%; } Either remove padding and add it to an inner element with no width set, or use: box-sizing: border-box; Which makes the width calculation include padding. :)
    1. some kudos for not doing review manipulation to get fake positive reviews, and also kudos for not doing an asset flip. No matter how bad this is, it's their original work, and that's (more or less) a good thing in this age of Russian asset flip garbage.
    1. TREE(3) is surprisingly large.TREE(1) = 1 and TREE(2) = 3, but then TREE(3) is suddenly vastly beyond comprehension.But once you know that TREE(3) is too big to grok, there’s not a lot left to be said about TREE(n) for specific n > 3; surely they’re bigger. In fact, they are probably so much bigger that even TREE(4) will dwarf TREE(3) to a much greater extent than TREE(3) dwarfs our familiar numbers. But that isn’t surprising once you know about TREE(3).In principle, of course, there is no reason you have to stop. You could consider, for example, TREETREE(TREE(3)) (3), where you start by plugging 3 into TREE, then plug that into TREE, and keep going through a total of TREE(TREE(3)) iterations. That would definitely be a (disturbingly, in my opinion) large number. But it’s not particularly interesting, as large numbers go.

    1. We definitely want to have a way to monitor this "queue" as a follow-up with a Prometheus counter. This counter could be used to create alerts in case the queue grows significantly, for example: the scheduled (every 1 minute) worker cannot keep up with the deletions.
    2. Each commit should meet the following criteria: Have a well-written commit message. Has all tests passing when used on its own (e.g. when using git checkout SHA). Can be reverted on its own without also requiring the revert of commit that came before it. Is small enough that it can be reviewed in isolation in under 30 minutes or so.

    1. Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Diversity enables the innovation and creativity needed to move the world forward. We are committed to creating an inclusive culture that is welcoming, respectful and provides equal opportunities for all.
    1. 2) The kanji are organized in chapters with wide themes (respectively: world, food, animals, people, body, spirit, power, learn, tools, places, journey). These chapters are in turn divided up into mini-themes dealing with each chapter (for example, different animals and ideas associated with them). This helped me a lot in mentally organizing kanji and their meanings.
    1. Water your lawn deeply about once a week, or when the grass looks slightly wilted, providing about an inch (2.5 cm.) of water each time. Avoid frequent, shallow irrigation which results in weak roots that can’t tolerate summer heat. Don’t water if the lawn doesn’t need it.

      watering

    1. Water deeply but only when the grass shows signs of stress; deep, infrequent irrigation creates strong, drought-tolerant roots. Never water every day; watering too frequently encourages shallow, weak roots and unhealthy grass. For a healthy lawn and sturdy roots, wait as long as possible before waterin

    1. Indeed, judging from the accounts of the many employees who have now gone on record about this issue, the “debates” that have been happening at Basecamp are precisely the kinds of conversations that happen when you have a diverse workforce. Different issues affect different people differently, and being able to speak freely about those differences is the hallmark of a healthy culture. But by framing these discussions as “acrimonious debates” rather than “challenging conversations,” Hansson has positioned himself not as a peacemaker, but as a tyrant hell-bent on taking his toys and going home; shutting down discussions rather than holding space for growth and discovery.
    2. If Hansson and Fried had been able to tolerate the dissenting opinions of their own employees, they might have been in for a difficult few weeks or months, but the long-term benefit of cultivating an atmosphere of trust would have been invaluable. Instead, they decided to make their tantrum international news. In doing so, they have all but dismantled the positive reputation they spent more than a decade carefully crafting.
    1. You are not currently logged in. This can be for a number of reasons: The system is temporarily unavailable You haven't logged into the system yet The Username or Password provided is not valid You may not have the required access level You didn't do anything for 30 minutes

      unusual to explain why "You are not currently logged in" -- esp. when you first land on a page and of course haven't even signed in yet.

      Would be more common to explain how you got signed out (assuming you were at one time signed in).

    1. Sure, you can try to solve that problem by using a one-word alternative for any multi-word phrase, but that's not always possible. Instead of relying on luck, being at the mercy of copy writers, and artificially limited to only allowing one-word items, IMHO you would be better off finding a general design solution that works even for multi-word phrases. Adjusting the letter-spacing and margin between items in your list isn't that hard
    1. Don’t make claims unless you can cite documentation, formalized guidelines, and coding examples to back those claims up. People need to know why they are being asked to make a change, and another developer’s personal preference isn’t a good enough argument.
    1. It would completely change how I view mint.com. It would become a powerful mechanism for opening up my own access to my own financial data which is currently being locked away by my banks, credit card companies and other providers. All I get is a crappy UI from those places. Mint's UI is much better, but an API would completely change the game.
    1. I also wanted to include the link format in case others had trouble locating the exact settings screen; hopefully this link format works for others.1) https://admin.google.com/ [YOUR DOMAIN HERE] /AdminHome?fral=1#MobileSettings:section=setup&flyout=setup (replace [YOUR DOMAIN HERE] with your own, no spaces)

      providing the link, nice!

    2.         4a. There will be a blue link there that says 'Set up Google Management   -Click ItStep 5. (your header will now say Mobile Management) Scroll down until you see the word 'Custom' it should have a blue dot next to itStep 6. You should see the word 'Android' and it should say 'Basic' to the right of it. There's a drop down box/arrow there, click it and select 'Unmanaged' and that will clear up the lock screen issues.

    3. How do I turn off the requirement to have a lock screen?Today, I'm suddenly unable to use any Google related apps on my phone, because I am now REQUIRED to set up a lock screen on my phone. I get that you want to be super-secure for businesses using enterprise devices. I am not a business. I'm some guy who just happens to have a domain name. My only "employee" is me. I have a two email addresses: My real first name, and the shorter version that most people call me. I do NOT want a lock screen on my phone. I don't want to be forced to give myself permission to use apps on my phone. Why am I now required to add all this bull$%^? Nobody is hacking my interwebs. Give me a f#$%^& break! I don't need a lock screen. I've been using this account for everything (gmail, youtube, etc) for over five years now. I'm not interested in deleting it and going back to my gmail.com account. I'm also not interested in being forced to click multiple times just to use my phone. Let me disable it.So, how do I turn this garbage off?
    1. # Do this the first time: $ git remote add -f -t master --no-tags gitgit https://github.com/git/git.git $ git subtree add --squash --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master # In future, you can merge in additional changes as follows: $ git subtree pull --squash --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master # And you can push changes back upstream as follows: $ git subtree push --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master # Or possibly (not sure what the difference is): $ git subtree push --squash --prefix=third_party/git gitgit/master
    1. I intend to keep it around and maybe fix up minor things here and there if needed, but don't really have any plans for new features at this point. I think it's great to give people the option to choose the Go port if the advanced features is what they're after.

    1. Thus my docs recommendation of public function beforeFilter(Event $event) // do not render out the now inconsistent one for is(json) if (!$this->request->is('jsonapi')) { throw new NotFoundException('Invalid access, use application/vnd.api+json for Content-Type and Accept.'); } } to specifically only whitelist the desired jsonapi for the general use case.
    1. In a clickjacking attack, the attacker creates a malicious website in which it loads the authorization server URL in a transparent iframe above the attacker’s web page. The attacker’s web page is stacked below the iframe, and has some innocuous-looking buttons or links, placed very carefully to be directly under the authorization server’s confirmation button. When the user clicks the misleading visible button, they are actually clicking the invisible button on the authorization page, thereby granting access to the attacker’s application. This allows the attacker to trick the user into granting access without their knowledge.

      Maybe browsers should prevent transparent iframes?! Most people would never suspect this is even possible.

    1. it's also one of the smartest games I've ever played and I can't recommend it enough if you enjoy system-driven narrative, which it handles exquisitely.

    2. The Quiet Sleep has 'cult classic' written all over it. It uses strategy, management, and tower defence mechanics to take you inside someone's head in a way that I don't think has ever been done before. It's really a bold experiment, and you'll be glad you played it.

    1. Well I would like to express my huge concern regarding the withdrawal of support for the SMB 1.0 network protocol in Windows 11, and future versions of the Microsoft OS, as there are many, many users who need to make use of this communication protocol, especially users households, since there are hundreds of thousands of products that use the embedded Linux operating system on devices that still use the SMB 1.0 protocol, and many devices, such as media players and NAS, that have been discontinued and companies no longer update their firmware.
    1. With Windows 10 version 1511, support for SMBv1 and thus NetBIOS device discovery was disabled by default. Depending on the actual edition, later versions of Windows starting from version 1709 ("Fall Creators Update") do not allow the installation of the SMBv1 client anymore. This causes hosts running Samba not to be listed in the Explorer's "Network (Neighborhood)" views.

    1. to see the changes the commands make. Among the commands, I'd like to use useradd, userdel, usermod, groupadd, groupmod, & groupdel. And, as I'm guessing you are understanding, these are just the ones I've read about today. If I can get away without modifying any files directly, I'd rather be able to do that because it means I'll have a strong grasp of the commands, and I'd be able to learn the editing of smb.conf (& the other files) by seeing how it/they change as I use the commands.

      .

    2. I'm trying to learn enough about Samba that I'm able to do complete administration from the command line. That's a big task, I know, like learning DOS when all I know is French (I know far more DOS than French, but that's the idea).

      .

    3. I have definitely looked at some of the Samba.org instructions. The problem is mine - I'm either too busy dealing with the kids in the morning, or too tired in the evenings, to be able to - within my realm of patience - find what I need, implement it, test it, and confirm that it works or try something else. Finding it, and recognizing that I've found it, is usually the hard part. That's why a book does me worlds of good - I can read it during the work day when I'm taking a few minutes break, and it's uninterrupted concentration time.

    1. The custom title bar has been a success on Windows, but the customer response on Linux suggests otherwise. Based on feedback, we have decided to make this setting opt-in on Linux and leave the native title bar as the default. The custom title bar provides many benefits including great theming support and better accessibility through keyboard navigation and screen readers. Unfortunately, these benefits do not translate as well to the Linux platform. Linux has a variety of desktop environments and window managers that can make the VS Code theming look foreign to users.
    1. If you insist on having the user id in the version table, you can do this: ActiveRecord::Base.transaction do @user.save! @user.versions.last.update_attributes!(:whodunnit => @user.id) end

      Not ideal... but we can't set it any earlier because we don't know the id until after the save

    1. Would be more of a neutral rating for me but seeing that I have only two options (or no review at all), I'll go with the upvote for encouragement as they do appear to be putting some effort into the game.
