    1. Eine neue Studie ergibt, dass sich das Abschmelzen des westantarktischen Eisschilds selbst dann fortsetzen wird, wenn die Erderhitzung auf 1,5° begrenzt wird. Das Schelfeis stellt ein Kipppelememt dar. Der Abschmelzvorgang verstärkt sich selbst und führt zu einer unaufhaltsamen Erhöhung des Meeresspiegels, weil er den Weg für das hinter dem Schelfeis gelegene Gletschereis frei macht. https://www.derstandard.at/story/3000000192327/meterhoher-meeresanstieg-durch-abschmelzen-des-westantarktischen-eisschelfs

    1. Google Chrome for Android no longer has an option to disable “Pull to Refresh”. For people who don’t really like using this feature, this is pretty annoying. There was a way to disable this using a flag, but version 75 removed this flag too.
    2. The nice point of Kiwi is that it supports Chrome extensions, this is why I am trying it. Browser extensions are something which I believe should be rather more widespread in Android by now.
    3. I was filling and completing a report on a website, uploaded an attachment just wanted to fill up some remaining inputs on final step, while scrolling down the whole page refreshed!.. hours of work and composition was gone instantly, extremely frustrating!
    4. I stoped using chrome android for purchases, due to the refresh occuring while scrolling up. Poor design choice

    1. When a language presumes to know more than its user, that's when there's trouble.
    2. Just because a language has a feature that might be dangerous doesn't mean it's inherently a bad thing. When a language presumes to know more than its user, that's when there's trouble.
    3. I'd argue that when you find a programming language devoid of danger, you've found one that's not very useful.
    4. The reason eval is there is because when you need it, when you really need it, there are no substitutes. There's only so much you can do with creative method dispatching, after all, and at some point you need to execute arbitrary code.

    1. Send on behalf of another user or account  Uncheck Treat as an alias. Example: You manage 2 email addresses in separate accounts or mail systems. You sign in to each account separately to read messages. But you want the convenience of sending mail as either address from your Gmail account.
    1. Die Pasterze ist 2022 mit über 87 Metern viermal schneller abgeschmolzen als davor. Insgesamt haben die österreichischen Gletscher 2022 6% ihrer Fläche verloren. Selbst bei einem sofortigen Stopp der globalen Erhitzung dürften diese Gletscher vollständig abschmelzen. Seit 2-3 Jahren zerfallen die Gletscher auch großflächig. Überblicksartikel zur österreichische Kryosphäre; im September erscheint der nächste Bericht zur Lage der österreichischen Gletscher. https://www.derstandard.de/story/3000000185725/alpine-eisforschung-mit-ablaufdatumexpert:

    1. I'm curious: what is the reason for Yahoo discontinuing the "@ymail.com" domain?I'm aware that there's now a 2nd domain option available, "@myyahoo.com", and I recently took advantage of that to create a new address. But "@ymail.com" honestly looks more appealing to me than either of the "yahoo" iterations.

    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. Auto-update aside, you might also have found it hard to find a Chrome binary with a specific version. Google intentionally doesn’t make versioned Chrome downloads available, since users shouldn’t have to care about version numbers—they should always get updated to the latest version as soon as possible. This is great for users, but painful for developers needing to reproduce a bug report in an older Chrome version.
    1. rendered.should have_selector("#header") do |header| header.should have_selector("ul.navlinks") end Both of which silently pass - however, capybara doesn't support a :content option (it should be :text), and it doesn't support passing blocks to have_selector (a common mistake from Webrat switchers).

    1. „Die Marmolada ist ein Symbol des Zugs, aus dem wir nicht aussteigen wollen.“ Die hochalpinen Regionen gehören durch die globale Erhitzung zu den verwundbarsten und gefährlichsten Zonen der Erde. Reinhold Messner blickt auf das Marmolada-Unglück vor einem Jahr zurück und stellt fest, dass nicht einmal die alltägliche Erfahrung ökologischer Katastrophen zu einer Abkehr von den fossilen Energien führt – weil diejenigen, die die Katastrophen verursachen nicht diejenigen sind, die für sie bezahlen.

    1. Das neueste Kohlekraftwerk in Bangladesch musste kurz nach seiner Eröffnung bereits zweimal stillgelegt werden, weil Bangladesch nicht über die Devisenreserven verfügte, um die nötige Kohle aus Indonesien zu importieren. Die New York Times stellt ausgehend von diesem Beispiel die zunehmenden wirtschaftlichen Schwierigkeiten wegen der Kosten der Köhleenergie dar. Im Augenblick ist China das einzige größere asiatische Land, das massiv Kohlekraftwerke ausbaut. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/18/climate/coal-electricity-bangladesh.html

    1. Wassermangel gefährdet inzwischen den Schiffsverkehr durch den Panamakanal und damit die internationale Versorgung mit Agrarprodukten, aber auch mit Flüssiggas. Die Trockenheit ist ein Ergebnis veränderter niederschlagsmuster, die in diesem Jahr durch das El Niño-Phänomen verstärkt werden.

  7. May 2023
    1. Kalifornien Nevada und Arizona haben sich mit der amerikanischen Bundesregierung auf ein Abkommen geeinigt, dass die Wasserversorgung durch den Colorado River bis 2026 regelt. Die Staaten verzichten auf die Bewirtschaftung erheblicher landwirtschaftlicher Flechten, erhalten dafür von der Regierung aber Kompensationen. Für die Zukunft wird wegen der zunehmenden Trockenheit mit schwierigeren Verhandlungen gerechnet. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/05/22/climate/colorado-river-deal.html

    1. Foto-Reportage des Guardian über die indigene Bevölkerung in der Nähe des Quelccaya-Gletscher, der bereits etwa die Hälfte seines Umfangs durch die globale Erhitzung verloren hat. Das Abschmelzen des Gletschers trägt zur erheblich vergrößerten Trockenheit bei, die wiederum den Lebensunterhalt der Bevölkerung, der von der Alpaka Zucht bestimmt wird, erschwert und auf Dauer unmöglich machen dürfte. Die Reportage ist Teil des preisgekrönten Projekts "Hüter der Anden". https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2023/apr/18/andes-community-devastated-by-climate-crisis-quelccaya-glacier-peru

    1. The research, published in the journal Scientific Reports, is based on data from automatic weather stations on the islands of Svalbard and Franz Josef Land. Until now, this had not been through the standard quality control process and made public.

    1. There is no predetermined correlation between this import path and the file system, and the imported module doesn’t have to know anything about the import path used in an importing module.

      This is not a good approach. It's the opposite of what you want. Module resolution remains easy for computers (because of their speed), but tedious for humans.

      As a writer, maybe there's some benefit for no correlation. As a reader trying to understand a foreign codebase, esp. one who is in the moment trying to figure out, "Where is this thing defined? Where can I read the source code?" when jumping through procedure definitions, not being able to trivially ascertain which file a given thing is in is unnecessary friction. Better to offload a tiny bit of work onto the author who knows the codebase (or at least their own immediate intention) well rather than to stymie the progress of dozens/hundreds of readers trying to work things out.

    1. There is no such method in ruby, but you can easily define it like: def my_strip(string, chars) chars = Regexp.escape(chars) string.gsub(/\A[#{chars}]+|[#{chars}]+\z/, "") end

    1. This document describes a method for signaling a one-click function for the List-Unsubscribe email header field. The need for this arises out of the actuality that mail software sometimes fetches URLs in mail header fields, and thereby accidentally triggers unsubscriptions in the case of the List-Unsubscribe header field.

    1. I came to this page looking for a way to disable news stories in Windows 11 Widgets. I attempted one of the solutions (Disable Interests From Widgets To Turn Off News Feeds) but News recommendations still appeared.

      Since I mainly wanted the Widget enabled for a calendar view, I decided against using Widgets altogether and settled for using the calendar in the notifications bar.

      Another alternative I considered was to have 4 static Widgets pinned to obscure any news articles in the feed. However, unless one uses the insider Windows 11 build 25211 or later, Widget display will pop up from mouse hovering.

    1. Consumers can use the status member to determine what the original status code used by the generator was, in cases where it has been changed (e.g., by an intermediary or cache), and when message bodies persist without HTTP information. Generic HTTP software will still use the HTTP status code.
    1. We do not want to change or remove additionalProperties. Providing a clear solution for the above use case will dramatically reduce or eliminate the misunderstandings around additionalProperties.

    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. output.addEventListener("click", ((event) => { if (event.target == output.querySelector("a.bookmarklet")) { alert("It's not an ordinary link; you need to bookmark it");

      This should use the registered control service pattern (or something). It's too hard to override this behavior. For example, I could remix the page and remove it, but I should also be able to write a bookmarklet that achieves the same effect.

    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. Starting from random noise, we optimize an image to activate a particular neuron (layer mixed4a, unit 11).

      And then we use that image as a kind of variable name to refer to the neuron in a way that more helpful than the the layer number and neuron index within the layer. This explanation is via one of Chris Olah's YouTube videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gXsKyZ_Y_i8)

    1. With schools open now, State governments must set clear priorities, says Anurag Behar, CEO, Azim Premji Foundation. The syllabus from Classes I to XII must be re-configured, reducing content without compromising on core learning objectives.

      Meet atleast any one Core objectives for each student

      ... If I was asked in a teaching staff meeting, about my role as a teacher in a semester, I will say, fulfilling atleast any one core objective in the subject curriculum to each and every student is my highest priority *if this has been the priority for every teacher and the pressurising management during covid online classes, the [[covid batch wisdom catastrophe]] would not be this much impact - I can certainly write an feature article on this covid batch catastrophe topic - especially who passed 10th as covid batch, during start of the covid now directly face 12th public face-off with [[post-covid zero knowledge calibre]]. And then going to join college without learning subject fundamentals [[Devastating post-covid college education for freshers]]

    1. he observationrecently made by [35] that StyleGAN2 tends to inherentlycontain a disentangled StyleSpace space, which can be usedto extract individual attributes. Thus, we argue that modify-ing coordinates of StyleSpace is a natural approach to ourproblem of modifying classifier-related attributes.

      Key aspect of StyleGAN2 in which the authors based this current research on.

    1. Thunderbird provides the ability to archive messages - that is, to move them from the default folders to archive folders without deleting the messages altogether. This makes it easy to organize archives or move them to a backup device, and keep the Inbox clean. Messages can only be archived manually, not automatically.

    1. apt-rdepends exists. This functionality should really reside in apt-cache itself.

      Update: Maybe it does already exist now. I was able to run this, for example without apt-rdepends being installed: apt-cache rdepends --installed libwebpmux3

    1. Exporting your active tabs to a TXT or HTML file is something that many people want to do, but which is impossible right now in Google Chrome without turning to an extension.
    1. We do not need images here. you can use some kind of icon if you wish. But this is largely text. Also FYI this section might need a headline. Such as summary overview - tbd.

    1. Javascript required? In other words, one cannot do this on cross-site iframes (due to cross-site scripting restrictions), is that right? As @clankill3r is suggesting, this demonstrates the need for a pure CSS solution to this problem
    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. In the vast majority of cases when I'm using prettier-ignore I'm only really looking to prevent it from breaking my code into new lines, whilst keeping its other transformations such as switching quotes and adding space between brackets. When ignoring single lines, fixing these formatting problems by hand is very manageable. With the ability to have Prettier ignore entire blocks of code I think the ability to specify what you want it to ignore is essential.
    2. This should be basic functionality.
    1. 3. The no-keyword-arguments syntax (**nil) is introduced You can use **nil in a method definition to explicitly mark the method accepts no keyword arguments. Calling such methods with keyword arguments will result in an ArgumentError. (This is actually a new feature, not an incompatibility)
    2. you can use the new delegation syntax (...) that is introduced in Ruby 2.7. def foo(...) target(...) end

    1. Has the Linux Mint team decided whether it might please add this sorely missed feature? I'm keeping Nautilus around in addition to Nemo just for this one feature. This feature is so much more efficient than other methods when you have a giant folder of many files and want to organize it into subfolders (which you can then easily move or rename afterwards — but at least this helps with the first step, which is to get the correct files into a folder together). P.S. This was also requested in #560.

    1. I am not sure if this is an improvement. To me it does not seem very pretty. Of course I am biased since I also prefer () in method definitions if they have arguments; although I think it is fine that ruby does not mind omitting the (). For my brain, I like the () for visual separation.

    1. The simple problem that I see with fragment identifiers is that their existence and functionality relies completely on the developer rather than the browser. Yes, the browser needs to read and interpret the identifier and identify the matching fragment. But if the developer doesn’t include any id attributes in the HTML of the page, then there will be no identifiable fragments. Do you see why this is a problem? Whether the developer has coded identifiers into the HTML has nothing to do with whether or not the page actually has fragments. Virtually every web page has fragments. In fact, sectioning content as defined in the HTML5 spec implies as much. Every element on the page that can contain content can theoretically be categorized as a “fragment”.

    1. But in the dark world of HTML email, where the motto is "code like it's 1996" because Outlook uses the rendering engine from MS Word and Gmail removes almost everything, every method for making two elements overlap that I can think of is unsuitable due to poor client support

    1. Probably the only thing I'd like to see fixed now is the possibility of quick restart like in the old Timberman and not having to wait for the 'Game Over' screen to finally be back to the good ol' choppin'
    2. I don't know why but they just removed some featuresAt first, you can't play this with your friend online except waiting for random matchingYou can't invite your friends to your closed room and play togheter
    1. It's as good as online-only, however with noone actually playing you'll find yourself queueing for bot matches (even having to wait for the "other players" to select their vehicles). You want to just race your mate in a local game- nope! Local races are single-player only (apparently the devs couldn't be bothered with coding a split-screen or zooming camera to enable local multiplayer races). Want to play online but specify the map? Nope! Play a game online with a good lobby and want to stick with that group? Nope! Every game forces you to exit after each event.
