    1. I would argue that "whole tree" thinking is enhanced by --follow being the default. What I mean is when I want to see the history of the code within a file, I really don't usually care whether the file was renamed or not, I just want to see the history of the code, regardless of renames. So in my opinion it makes sense for --follow to be the default because I don't care about individual files; --follow helps me to ignore individual file renames, which are usually pretty inconsequential.

    1. he Web, sadly, defaults to 8 spaces which is an abomination for every snippet of code that would ike to be instantly readable on Mobile Phones too browsers don't provide a tab size setting anywhere (last time I've checked) to override that horrifying 8 spaces legacy nobody wants or need since tabs were invented

      a later comment shows this is incorrect; we have CSS tab-size

    1. ActiveRecord::Base.serialize no longer uses YAML by default. YAML isn't particularly performant and can lead to security issues if not used carefully. Unfortunately there isn't really any good serializers in Ruby's stdlib to replace it. The obvious choice would be JSON, which is a fine format for this use case, however the JSON serializer in Ruby's stdlib isn't strict enough, as it fallback to casting unknown types to strings, which could lead to corrupted data. Some third party JSON libraries like Oj have a suitable strict mode.

    1. I assume that the goal of synchronizing timestamps is so that the primary record and its Version can be correlated by future reporting queries. I've always thought this is an odd feature, given that said correlation can be more reliably and performantly achieved by use of the foreign key (item_id). So, I'd like to suggest that we add an option to disable this feature. For the new option's name, I'll suggest synchronize_version_creation_timestamp. It would be true by default. has_paper_trail(synchronize_version_creation_timestamp: false) I'm open to disabling this feature by default, in a future major release, after a reasonable deprecation period.

    1. So when configuring Capybara, I'm using ignore_default_browser_options, and only re-use this DEFAULT_OPTIONS and exclude the key I don't want Capybara::Cuprite::Driver.new( app, { ignore_default_browser_options: true, window_size: [1200, 800], browser_options: { 'no-sandbox': nil }.merge(Ferrum::Browser::Options::Chrome::DEFAULT_OPTIONS.except( "disable-features", "disable-translate", "headless" )), headless: false, } )

    1. 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).

      comments for tag: undefined vs. null: Technically this is undefined (unset, !diff) vs. true (diff), but it's similar enough that don't need a separate tag just for that.

      annotation meta: may need new tag: undefined/unset vs. null/set

    1. This specification reserves the use of one URI as a problem type: The "about:blank" URI [RFC6694], when used as a problem type, indicates that the problem has no additional semantics beyond that of the HTTP status code. When "about:blank" is used, the title SHOULD be the same as the recommended HTTP status phrase for that code (e.g., "Not Found" for 404, and so on), although it MAY be localized to suit client preferences (expressed with the Accept-Language request header). Please note that according to how the "type" member is defined (Section 3.1), the "about:blank" URI is the default value for that member. Consequently, any problem details object not carrying an explicit "type" member implicitly uses this URI.

      annoying limitation

      have to come up with unique (and unchanging?) URIs up front

      otherwise (if type is omitted), this restrictive "about:blank" URI is assumed by default

    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. Create a new controller to override the original: app/controllers/active_storage/blobs_controller.rb

      Original comment:

      I've never seen monkey patching done quite like this.

      Usually you can't just "override" a class. You can only reopen it. You can't change its superclass. (If you needed to, you'd have to remove the old constant first.)

      Rails has already defined ActiveStorage::BlobsController!

      I believe the only reason this works:

      class ActiveStorage::BlobsController < ActiveStorage::BaseController

      is because it's reopening the existing class. We don't even need to specify the < Base class. (We can't change it, in any case.)

      They do the same thing here: - https://github.com/ackama/rails-template/pull/284/files#diff-2688f6f31a499b82cb87617d6643a0a5277dc14f35f15535fd27ef80a68da520

      Correction: I guess this doesn't actually monkey patch it. I guess it really does override the original from activestorage gem and prevent it from getting loaded. How does it do that? I'm guessing it's because activestorage relies on autoloading constants, and when the constant ActiveStorage::BlobsController is first encountered/referenced, autoloading looks in paths in a certain order, and finds the version in the app's app/controllers/active_storage/blobs_controller.rb before it ever gets a chance to look in the gem's paths for that same path/file.

      If instead of using autoloading, it had used require_relative (or even require?? but that might have still found the app-defined version earlier in the load path), then it would have loaded the model from activestorage first, and then (possibly) loaded the model from our app, which (probably) would have reopened it, as I originally commented.

    1. Normally, git diff looks for non-printable characters in the files and if it looks like the file is likely to be a binary file, it refuses to show the difference. The rationale for that is binary file diffs are not likely to be human readable and will probably mess up your terminal if displayed. However, you can instruct git diff to always treat files as text using the --text option. You can specify this for one diff command: git diff --text HEAD HEAD^ file.txt You can make Git always use this option by setting up a .gitattributes file that contains: file.txt diff
    1. By default, the SvelteKit runtime intercepts clicks on <a> elements and bypasses the normal browser navigation for relative (same-origin) URLs that match one of your page routes. We sometimes need to tell SvelteKit that certain links need to be handled by normal browser navigation.

    1. The input is required and initially empty, so on page load the input is :invalid and border is red. :( :(The input is :invalid until you type a legit email address, so it is red when typing. :( :(Ok, so the :invalid pseudo selector is kind of useless. Ideally we would not show an error up front or the whole time they are typing, just when they submit something unacceptable.

    1. However, a ActiveRecord::Rollback within the nested transaction will be caught by the block of the nested transaction, but will be ignored by the outer transaction, and not cause a roll back! To avoid this unexpected behaviour, you have to explicitly tell rails for each transaction to indeed use proper nesting: CopyActiveRecord::Base.transaction(joinable: false, requires_new: true) do # inner code end This is a safer default for working with custom transactions.

    1. The default behavior is to enter the new key/data pair, replacing any previously existing key if duplicates are disallowed, or adding a duplicate data item if duplicates are allowed (MDB_DUPSORT).

    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. Yes, absolutely, no two projects are alike. This step is moving towards a direction where we have a set of best practices for webpack isolated in a bundled package and can be maintained in isolation without impacting upgrades or end-user experience. If you have seen next.js or create-react-app they sort of do they same thing for ease and maintainability. Rails is a great example for this - there are some built-in best practices, opinionated defaults and gems that are hidden behind the scene plus power to do advance things where needed.

    1. If you’re fighting Git’s defaults, ask why. Treat public history as immutable, atomic, and easy to follow. Treat private history as disposable and malleable. The intended workflow is: Create a private branch off a public branch. Regularly commit your work to this private branch. Once your code is perfect, clean up its history. Merge the cleaned-up branch back into the public branch.

      Good defaults are sometimes hard to recognize, especially when the tool is complex.

      Questioning the defaults-- and deciding why you would keep them or change them-- is a good antidote to dismissing something due to not understanding it.

      If you can't understand why you don't like the defaults, then decide what you would choose instead and why you would change the default as it stands. Does the default make it easy to do the "right" thing AND hard to do the "wrong" thing? The second part of that statement is the most important since it might not be obvious what the "right" thing is.

      Even if you don't like the defaults, ask yourself if they continually lead you away from perils and problems that would plague you if a different set of defaults were chosen?
