    1. The “honest and accurate” science that society expects relies in part on skepticism, the willingness to doubt results and, when possible, to carefully replicate their findings.
    2. But missing from the third edition is skepticism, one of the fundamental elements of doing science.

    1. Wearing masks and taking other precautions while attending church and other public forums is for the benefit of our neighbor. We wear masks not out of fear, but out of love. Our actions literally communicate “I don’t like wearing this mask, but I do it for you because you are my brother and my sister.” Taking these steps are true acts of benevolence, as we are making sacrifices for the health and well-being of others.
    1. Not related to this game itself per se, but there is some highly suspect positive reviews posted on all the store pages of titles released by this author (same accounts for each, one even is named after his Youtube channel)

    1. Slackmojis is made by some random dude in Brooklyn. He doesn't work for Slack, isn't paid by Slack, he just thinks Slack is pretty cool. Super Official Lawyer Talk: Slackmojis is not created by, affiliated with, or supported by Slack Technologies, Inc.
    1. The abstract shapes in the brackets symbolize the "OK" from the boot up screen, services running inside systemd, and our overall optimistic outlook.
    1. Yes. That is a drop-in file. I think a leftover from the CentOS docker package. I just removed the file and it started working.
    2. you can change that drop-in file, change docker daemon to dockerd and remove -H fd://

      Where was that answer when I needed it? :)

    1. So, what I've discovered in a meanwhile. It was an ubuntu-docker issue. Recently I upgraded my ubuntu from 16.04 to 18.04. This change seems to be incompatible with the docker version I had, 1.11.0.
    1. 1) QT Apps load very slow in startup (ex, qpdfview, Audacious), had to look at Ubuntu forums to find a solution installing kvantum and KvYAru theme, so this is solved at the moment; but the theme (SVG based, cannot modify it in a text file) have orange highlights, not consistent with Mint-Y theme, but it is the best option at the moment. This temporary solution I found was here: https://itectec.com/ubuntu/ubuntu-qt-apps-are-very-slow-to-load-in-xubuntu-20-04-when-export-qt_qpa_platformthemegtk2-is-enabled/
    2. We took a stance on an issue. We informed and documented. We made it easy for you to understand the problem and also to take action if you disagreed.
    3. We took a stance on an issue.
    4. We informed and documented. We made it easy for you to understand the problem and also to take action if you disagreed. I hope you didn’t read https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html#how-to-install-the-snap-store-in-linux-mint-20. I can’t understand how it could be simpler.
    5. Is it harder to enable it in Mint than it is to disable it in Ubuntu? Not at all. Is how to enable it better documented in Mint than how to disable it in Ubuntu? Absolutely: https://linuxmint-user-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/snap.html.
    6. Yahoo is _much_ worse than Google when it comes to collecting data and using it.
    7. http://letmegooglethat.com/?q=How+to+change+the+default+search+engine+in+chromium&l=1
    8. We can certainly explain the issues snap cause without using political or religious arguments. We did so in the documentation I linked to above.
    9. We don’t do politics, and we certainly don’t do religion. You’re bringing these here by using terms such as “politicians” or “evil”.

      Does "evil" refer to religion? Or perhaps they meant "evil" in a more general way, as a more extreme version of "bad".

    1. Reload the systemd manager configuration. This will rerun all generators (see systemd.generator(7)), reload all unit files, and recreate the entire dependency tree. While the daemon is being reloaded, all sockets systemd listens on behalf of user configuration will stay accessible.
    2. This command should not be confused with the reload command.
    1. In case you changed something in the [Install] directive, you may need to run sudo systemctl reenable YOURUNITFILE in order to recreate the symlinks in the .target directories.
    2. (daemon-reload won't reload/restart the services themselves, just makes systemd aware of the new configuration)
    3. Just in case, daemon-reload isn't universal, have got to run systemctl --user daemon-reload for user services
    1. I think some of the design details are insane (I dislike the binary logs, for example), but those are details, not big issues.
    2. (Or you become a second class citizen, being told that you have to rely on GNOME extensions that may break on every single new version of GNOME.)
    3. Systemd problems might not have mattered that much, except that GNOME has a similar attitude; they only care for a small subset of the Linux desktop users, and they have historically abandoned some ways of interacting the Desktop in the interest of supporting touchscreen devices and to try to attract less technically sophisticated users. If you don't fall in the demographic of what GNOME supports, you're sadly out of luck.
    4. Systemd flies in the face of the Unix philosophy: 'do one thing and do it well,' representing a complex collection of dozens of tightly coupled binaries
    1. When Snap was introduced Canonical promised it would never replace APT. This promise was broken. Some APT packages in the Ubuntu repositories not only install snap as a dependency but also run snap commands as root without your knowledge or consent and connect your computer to the remote proprietary store operated by Canonical.
    2. This is a store we can’t audit, which contains software nobody can patch. If we can’t fix or modify software, open-source or not, it provides the same limitations as proprietary software.
    3. Although it is open-source, Snap on the other hand, only works with the Ubuntu Store. Nobody knows how to make a Snap Store and nobody can. The Snap client is designed to work with only one source, following a protocol which isn’t open, and using only one authentication system. Snapd is nothing on its own, it can only work with the Ubuntu Store.
    1. Science’s culture of critique discourages groupthink, countermands the effects of human biases, and protects knowledge, not only by rewarding a dispassionate stance toward the subject and institutionalizing organized skepticism but also by fostering competition among scientists able to replicate and hence challenge each other’s work.

      Great aspirations, but how well are they actually achieved in practice/reality?

    1. Some users download the DEB package and install it manually and manage upgrades completely manually. This is useful in situations such as installing Docker on air-gapped systems with no access to the internet.
    2. The scripts require root or sudo privileges to run. Therefore, you should carefully examine and audit the scripts before running them.
    1. that's by design:

      Can't upgrade from EOL version

      Supposed to upgrade from it while it is still supported...

      I can see calling this upgrade path "unsupported", but isn't "by design" going a bit too far?

      It seems like it's not so much an intentional design choice to disallow it as it is an inadvertent side effect of ending support for it, and of only developing support for specific version upgrade paths.

    2. For the future, you should: Install LTS (Long-term support) versions as they have an 8-year life span (with Extended Security Maintenance) or 5 years without. The current LTS version is Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS Bionic Beaver released on July 26, 2018 with an EOL in April 2023. OR Carefully watch the EOL of the interim / development releases and upgrade frequently.

      How would you even describe this comment?

      "just doing my job"? but he is (I assume) answering to be nice not because it's his job

      "I won't take it personally"? vote my answer up or down, whichever you please

      impartial, dispassionate, and objective, perhaps? "just the facts, ma'am"


      Separately, what is the "Please don't thank me!" for? Is it that politeness? False modesty? Genuine modesty? Or is it rude? Why not allow someone to thank you??

    4. As you installed a development release (17.04) that had only a 9-month life span and had an End of Life (EOL) in Jan 2018, there is no way to upgrade it to 17.10 as that went EOL back in July 2018. So as you're stuck with a release without an upgrade path (as you cannot skip versions)
    1. OTOH, I'm old enough to have made the exact same error myself, i.e. trying to optimize something which really didn't need it and making the code more complicated as a result, so I am not blaming whoever had the idea for the rewrite.
    2. Why was the change even made, if statistical performance is not improved and the code is just harder to understand? Conspiracy theorists could get the idea of a backdoor (:
    3. The code is far simpler and easier to understand/verify
    1. Snaps each pick a ‘base’, for example, Ubuntu18 (corresponding to the set of minimal debs in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS). Nevertheless, the choice of base does not impact on your ability to use a snap on any of the supported Linux distributions or versions — it’s a choice of the publisher and should be invisible to you as a user or developer.

      Snaps sound a lot like container images in this respect.

    2. The heart of Ubuntu is a collection of ‘deb’ packages which are tested and integrated so that they work well as a set. Debs are optimised for highly structured dependency management, enabling you to combine debs very richly while ensuring that the necessary software dependencies for each deb (themselves delivered as debs) are installed on your machine.
    3. Ubuntu also supports ‘snap’ packages which are more suited for third-party applications and tools which evolve at their own speed, independently of Ubuntu. If you want to install a high-profile app like Skype or a toolchain like the latest version of Golang, you probably want the snap because it will give you fresher versions and more control of the specific major versions you want to track.
    1. The plot is so thin that, if it is ever discovered, will revolutionalize the world of particle physics.
    1. Unfortunately, this probably means a death knoll for this gem, at least I predict it will contribute to its slow trajectory towards insignificance/unknownness/lack-of-users.

      Why? Because it is already the less popular option in this comparison: https://ruby.libhunt.com/compare-premailer-rails-vs-roadie-rails

      and being actively maintained is an important factor in evaluating competing options.

      So of course people will see that the premailer option is the option that is still actively maintained, is still continuing to be improved, and they'll see that this one has been relegated to dormancy/stagnancy/neglect/staleness, which will only amplify the degree/sense of abandonment it already has from its maintainer (only now it will be its users that start to abandon it, as I now have).

    2. This gem is now entering passive maintenance mode; I will not be actively maintaining it anymore.
    3. I cannot guarantee that happening at all, so no timeline sadly.
    4. I could find the time to maintain it despite being "boring"
    5. At work, I cannot maintain this project. At home, I'd rather spend time with my children and on projects that I'm currently passionate about.
    6. Maintaining open source software requires energy and a "want"/"passion". I've not been using this project myself for years, and I mainly work in other things than Rails at this point. That means I'm far removed from this project and see no personal gain in maintaining the energy to keep this going.
    7. I'm still pretty proud of the project and I don't want to see it gone, so I want to keep updating it when needed. But on the other hand, the feature set is pretty stable and well working now (AFAIK) so I also don't see the need to pretend to be actively maintaining it.
    8. Please: Prompt me when things break and I will probably fix it. I won't guarantee how fast I'll move, but I'll try to make the effort sometimes. The bigger the issue, the more likely it is that I'll do something about it.
    9. Contributions are welcome, like always. I love contributions and seeing other people getting value from this project. Keep doing it!
    10. It's not impossible, but it's not likely I would accept someone I haven't worked with IRL or know on a personal level. That's because I want some form of creative control over the direction and I want to maintain the existing code style. If I know you I'm more likely to know that this will keep working the way I want it to.
    11. a triager would be very welcome; someone that can ask follow-up questions on issues, create test cases for the problems, and so on.
    12. Show me good PRs, bug triaging, documentation fixes, whatever and you're a candidate if you ask for it.
    13. reviewing code takes energy!
    14. This is open-source. You can always fork and maintain that fork yourself if you feel that's warranted. That's how this project started in the first place, so I know the feeling.
    1. premailer-rails processes all outgoing emails by default. If you wish to skip premailer for a certain email, simply set the :skip_premailer header:
    2. premailer-rails and premailer require a gem that is used to parse the email's HTML. For a list of supported gems and how to select which one to use, please refer to the Adapter section of premailer. Note that there is no hard dependency from either gem so you should add one yourself.
    1. config.action_mailer.register_preview_interceptor :css_inline_styler

      That's probably the same hook that https://github.com/fphilipe/premailer-rails ties into, for it says:

      Emails are only processed upon delivery, i.e. when calling #deliver on the email, or when previewing them in rails.

    1. Slogans can therefore be longer than taglines
    2. Taglines are more often next to the company's logo on official advertisements, and are dedicated more specifically to brand awareness than slogans. Slogans carry a brand's values and promises as the company grows and evolves, and can be promoted under an overarching company tagline.
    3. Although both "slogan" and "tagline" tend to be used interchangeably, they actually serve two different purposes. 
    4. Companies have slogans for the same reason they have logos: advertising. While logos are visual representations of a brand, slogans are audible representations of a brand. Both formats grab consumers' attention more readily than the name a company or product might. Plus, they're simpler to understand and remember.
    5. In many ways, they're like mini-mission statements.
    6. a slogan is "a catchphrase or small group of words that are combined in a special way to identify a product or company,"
    1. Nerd Fonts is a project that patches developer targeted fonts with a high number of glyphs (icons). Specifically to add a high number of extra glyphs from popular 'iconic fonts' such as Font Awesome ➶, Devicons ➶, Octicons ➶, and others.
    2. popular 'iconic fonts'
    3. The following Sankey flow diagram shows the current glyph sets included:
    1. Pango is one of the most common font rendering libraries on Linux. It's used by GTK/GNOME and a lot of standalone apps, like Rofi, Polybar, and a lot of terminals.
    2. cp src/glyphs/Symbols-2048-em\ Nerd\ Font\ Complete.ttf ~/.local/share/fonts fc-cache -fv pango-view -t "Playing some  for you right now"
    3. How should this be manually tested?
    4. Trust me, I'm not trying to stress you right now, but I just wanted to do a friendly bump in case you forgot about this. (I know how it is sometimes) If you get this notification and feel "Ugh, I really don't have time" you don't have to comment here and I'm sorry. I'm just sending you a notification in case you forgot. If not, feel free to archive the email and not click/tap on anything.
    1. Bordering an element with a single repeating image is something that seems like it should be easy with a property called border-image, but the process for actually doing that is somewhat counter-intuitive. Let’s say, for example, that you want to border an element with a repeating heart icon. You can’t do that with a image of a single heart. Instead, you have to make an image of a “frame” of hearts arranged as you’d like them to appear in the border, then slice that image. <img sizes="(min-width: 735px) 864px, 96vw" src='https://i2.wp.com/css-tricks.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/enlarged-border-image-slice.png' alt='' data-recalc-dims="1" />Eight hearts in a “frame” image, enlarged to show detail. The red lines indicate slices. If you think that sounds preposterous, you’re in good company. There was a lengthy discussion of the subject on Eric Myer’s blog a few years ago where many frontend development greats weighed in.
    2. Try out the different border-image-repeat values in this demo
    1. This question is locked and replying has been disabled.
    2. Just as the user above said, Gmail is removing all css styles throughout the body, and removing all css styles in the head tag. Their own documentation says this should work but it's not working at all. I've wasted 6 hours trying to make this work.
    1. Email’s actually not guaranteed to be quick. Even though it usually is pretty darned speedy, the entire email system is built to tolerate delays of several days. There are various reasons that this might happen, including a few very legitimate spam-fighting techniques. The solution? Wait a while. If in a few hours or the next day you still haven’t received the confirmation email, the problem may be elsewhere.
    1. Because .subtitle has a width of 100%, the min-width: auto calculation that flexbox makes says that its container should be larger than we want.
    2. Situation: you have a single line of text in a flex child element. You don’t want that text to wrap, you want it truncated with ellipsis (or fall back to just hiding the overflow). But the worst happens. The unthinkable! The layout breaks and forces the entire flex parent element too wide. Flexbox is supposed to be helping make layout easier!
    3. The solution is min-width: 0; on the flex child Or min-width some actual value. Without this, the flex child containing the other text elements won’t narrow past the “implied width” of those text elements.

      Morlan's shorts: If you like abstract, beautiful, minimalistic looking, relaxing games..This is NOT it! Don't be fooled by the chill music (nice tunes but I can't help thinking that I've heard it before somewhere), "satisfying" backgrounds (yep imgurians, you know what I'm talking about) and fluid gameplay. This is a hardocore platform-y type of game that after the first few levels requires OCD precision movements and many-many-many re-tries to finish a level. Basically you move the blob, eat the "snow" and avoid everything else until you reach the black hole. But everything is too close to you or closing in and the movement style gives you finger cramps. You need to repeatedly press a button to move in that direction, like up-up-up-up-up-up, left-left-left-left-left-left and so on. It doesn't work by continuously pressing the direction buttons. So while the blob moves fluidly you constantly jerk the buttons so the hole gameplay looks a bit weird. The levels seem well crafted and rich with.. abstract detail! An oxymoron that works! The game looks pretty but you have no time to admire it because you're always on a timer. In short: A well made game but ONLY for the hardcore maso-players that enjoy hard achievements which is why I can't thoroughly recommend it. It goes from fun to chore after a while and, in contrast, I found 140 to be fun.

      EDIT: I thought I was a bit unfair on this.. but after finishing the frist three chapters perfectly, I say again: NO! This game can give you a really bad case of carpal bone cramps. I am being serious! Later levels are EVEN worse. Trying to go up by clicking 100 times the up button will start hurting badly after half an hour. I would AVOID THIS GAME.. You can thank me later.

      Don't waste more time reading lengthy reviews.. time is of the essence!

    1. I used it to create a full-bleed utility class: .full-bleed { width: 100vw; margin-left: calc(50% - 50vw); }
    2. Use-case party I asked some CSS developers when they last used calc() so we could have a nice taste here for for how others use it in their day-to-day work.
    1. Great, I can use vw to scale text so it doesn't look puny on a desktop! Perfect... Oh. Huh, now the text is too small to read when viewed on a phone. Okay, well I can just use "max(x,y)" to make sure it doesn't get shrunk beyond a minimum size. Perfect... Oh. Hmm. Looks like "max" isn't supported properly by Chrome. Okay, well guess I'll just use "px" again.
    1. I want to create a filter for all email sent by me only to me. To accomplish this I send all these "notes" to a permutation that I know no one else uses. E.g. john__doe@gmail.com
    1. auto As a maximum, identical to max-content. As a minimum it represents the largest minimum size (as specified by min-width/min-height) of the grid items occupying the grid track.

      And I'm guessing that when you use auto as a value (not inside of a minmax), that it is equivalent to minmax(min-content, max-content)? Wish I could see that confirmed somewhere...

    1. CSS Grid Layout excels at dividing a page into major regions or defining the relationship in terms of size, position, and layer, between parts of a control built from HTML primitives.
    1. How to wrap long word (text without spaces) in html table’s cell? This is very, very easy! We must add only a CSS proprty to table cell “td” tag – “word-break: break-all;” then all column’s widths become as intended. 
    1. fixed: With this value, the table’s layout ignores the content and instead uses the table’s width, any specified width of columns, and border and cell spacing values. The column values used are based on widths defined on columns or cells for the first row of the table
    1. It is also very likely that the contents of the table might change the structure or dimensions of the table. For example, long words residing in the table cells can cause the cell width to increases. If you fix that problem, it might happen that the long words cross the cell boundaries.
    2. Tables in HTML are absurd elements.
    1. I think it’s a bit more robust to do this at the grid definition level.
    2. min-width: 0;

      Wouldn't expect the solution to "width grows too wide" to be to assign a (seemingly meaningless, since how could it be less than 0) a minimum width of 0.

      I would have expected to solve this by applying a max-width to the problem element or one of its ancestors.

    3. The explanation here is that the minimum size of an fr unit is auto. Grid then looks at the min-content size of the item. If the item has a size (you’ve given it a width) or has something in it with a size such as an image, the min-content size might be much bigger than the share of available space you think 1fr will give you. It’s easy to think of 1fr as being “one part of the space in the grid container” when it is really one part of the space left over. If there is space to grow then the tracks grow from that min-content size assigning space. Using minmax, as you have pointed out, is the best thing to do if you want to forcibly have equal width tracks, as that says “I want this track to have a min-content size of 0”, you could potentially in that situation end up with overflows as you lose the squishiness.
    4. It’s easy to think of 1fr as being “one part of the space in the grid container” when it is really one part of the space left over.
    5. And since auto is entirely based on content, we can say it is “indefinitely” sized, its dimensions flex. If we were to put an explicit width on the column, like 50% or 400px, then we would say it is “definitely” sized.
    6. I can’t promise I’m explaining this 100% accurately, but the way I understand it, the minimum width of a grid column is auto.
    7. It’s true that the auto value would do the same, but auto isn’t quite as robust since it’s size is based on the content inside.
    1. The only difference is that in this case “auto” will not work, but instead “height: 100%” is required.
    2. use of the border-box property. If you add the following at the top of your CSS file, you should be able to avoid many of the problems inherent in using 100% width on your elements:
    3. Blocks Don’t Need 100% Width When we understand the difference between block-level elements and inline elements, we’ll know that a block element (such as a <div>, <p>, or <ul>, to name a few) will, by default expand to fit the width of its containing, or parent, element (minus any margins it has or padding its parent has).
    4. But in most cases, I strongly recommend you use padding inside a box, rather than margins, to ensure you don’t have this problem.
    5. It seems like this should be one of the easiest things to understand in CSS. If you want a block-level element to fill any remaining space inside of its parent, then it’s simple — just add width: 100% in your CSS declaration for that element, and your problem is solved. Not so fast. It’s not quite that easy. I’m sure CSS developers of all skill levels have attempted something similar to what I’ve just described, with bizarre results ultimately leading to head scratching and shruggingly resorting to experimenting with absolute widths until we find just the right fit. This is just one of those things in CSS that seems easy to understand (and really, it should be), but it’s sometimes not — because of the way that percentages work in CSS.
