Sucks if you do actually have a sesame allergy, though.

1. From https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/6ffb29d24e05abbd9ffe3ea9..., click "Blame" on the header bar over the file contents.
2. Scroll down to the line and click on the commit in the left column.
3. Scroll down to the part of the commit that removed the line from its previous location, in activesupport/lib/active_support/test_case.rb.
4. Click the three-dots menu in that file's header bar and select "View file".
5. Click "History" in the header bar of the contributors, above the file contents.
6. I guessed here that it was introduced in commit 281f488 based on its message: "Use the method provided by minitest to make tests order dependent". Clicking through to it confirms that. There's also a comment here that identified the problem which led to, and provided context for, the change in 6ffb29d.
The OP is from minitest's documentation, so to find the introduction in minitest, it's basically the same process.
1. Go to https://github.com/minitest/minitest.
2. Search the repo for the method name. Even just "i_suck" will match the commit.
3. Select the oldest commit in the results. That's a4553e2.
First, the flag is provided by minitest. That commit is an implementation of the flag in Rails.
Second, 6ffb29d moved it to prevent Rails's test framework from setting it _by default_. 281f488[1] actually added it to Rails.
minitest/minitest#a4553e2[2] appears to have added the docstring and test case to minitest.

Kind of surprised we haven't heard more about hacks among the proliferation of underbaked startups that backfill basic workplace and HR services.
There are great examples of top-down authored docs in this thread, but Arch's docs manage to be comprehensive while being largely community contributed. Odds are if I have a question about any Linux distribution, I can find an answer for it in Arch's docs. As a result, they also often have considerable localization.
Aside from providing a front end for viewing and maybe editing, docs publishing tools mostly help make that content more accessible, provide some search and versioning functionality, ease some maintenance tasks, provide static publishing options like PDFs, and handle asset management. Maybe you get luxurious and have an authoring/reviewing/publishing workflow from a headless CMS, but most shops these days just try to bend a software issue-tracking system into doing that.
If the stakeholders are technical, you have more options. If they aren't, I hope you like Google Docs or Word, because if you give them anything other than that or a PDF, they'll probably complain. At worst, yeah, write it in a long Markdown text file and use tools like pandoc to transform that into other formats as needed.
If you do need a website and you're not generating enterprise-scale amounts of content (and it sounds like you're not) try things that let you avoid needing build steps and infrastructure if at all possible, so you can iterate and deploy changes with as little friction as you can.
Tools like Docsify[1] can take a pile of Markdown files and serve a site out of them, client- or server-side, without a static build step. Depending on the org, you can get away with GitHub's default rendering of Markdown in a repo. Most static site builds for stuff your scale are overengineered instances of premature optimization.
Past those initial hurdles, the format and tools challenges are all in maintenance. How can you:
- most easily keep the content up to date
- delegate updates as the staff grows or changes
- proactively distribute updates ASAP to the people who'd most benefit from receiving them
That's going to depend a lot more on who'll contribute updates, what their technical proficiency's like, and how they prefer to communicate. It might be a shared git repo and RSS or Slack notifications if they're comfortable with those things, and it might be a Google Doc and email if they're like most non-technical stakeholders.

> "Joe Bankman and Barbara Fried have been close friends of my wife and I since the mid-1990s," Kramer wrote in an email. "During the past two years, while my family faced a harrowing battle with cancer, they have been the truest of friends – bringing food, providing moral support, and frequently stepping in at moment's notice to help. In turn, we have sought to support them as they face their own crisis."
> He also said he had no business interest in the $500,000 he contributed towards Bankman-Fried's bond.
> "My actions are in my personal capacity, and I have no business dealings or interest in this matter other than to help our loyal and steadfast friends," Kramer wrote. "Nor do I have any comment or position regarding the substance of the legal matter itself, which is what the trial will be for."
> “I had a friend who said, ‘You don’t want to be seen with (Sam Bankman-Fried's parents),’” said Larry Kramer, a former dean of the law school and a close friend of the Bankman-Fried family. “I don’t see how this doesn’t bankrupt them.”
Bankman-Fried's parents were both Stanford Law professors.
> A spokeswoman for Mr. Bankman and Ms. Fried wouldn’t comment on whether they are giving their son legal advice. Their friends, some of them legal scholars themselves, have said Mr. Bankman-Fried’s frequent media appearances are a mistake that could put him deeper in legal jeopardy.

...
> Friends and colleagues said Mr. Bankman, who is also a clinical psychologist by training, abhors conflict. When discussions at the Bankman-Frieds’ Sunday dinner parties turned contentious, Mr. Bankman on occasion would step out of the room, friends said.

The Fedora docs cover setting module parameters.[1] This is how setting the kernel module parameter manifests on my system:
$ sudo grep -iR i915.enable_psr /etc/modprobe.d
/etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf:options i915 enable_psr=0
$ sudo cat /etc/modprobe.d/i915.conf
options i915 enable_psr=0

> My big methodological breakthrough came when I joined the Emulator Developer Discord. The helpful denizens of the #gameboy channel pointed me to a GitHub repo of logfiles, in which a kind person with a working emulator had run Blargg’s ROMs and logged the state of their emulator after each instruction.
This is depressingly familiar. The stuff you can find is either horrifically out of date or not written for someone new. The stuff that could help someone new is sequestered in a community outside the reach of any search engine. If you don't already know about, can't find, or can't interact with the community, lol git gud.
Feinstein is a longtime tech industry villain on the "catastrophically ignorant" track,[1][2] especially around encryption.[3][4] I'll especially remember her brushing off kids who lobbied her on the Green New Deal:[5]
> “I’ve gotten elected, I just ran,” she added. “I was elected by almost a million-vote plurality. And I know what I’m doing. So you know, maybe people should listen a little bit.”
The SF Chronicle ran a story in April about her progressing cognitive problems. She's 88.[6]
The race to replace her was already competitive before she'd even announced her retirement.[7]

Panel Self Refresh (PSR) seems to be at least the most common cause:
> @kelnos, have you tried without psr? E.g. add i915.enable_psr=0 into your kernel boot parameters or disable it via debugfs (as a root):
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/i915_edp_psr_debug # yes it's '1'

> “I think it was not in the best interest of human health and welfare and the environment to simply cover it up and keep going without at least a preliminary evaluation to determine if the level of vinyl chloride that was present in the soil was going to create a potential contamination threat to surface or groundwater,” said Dr. Julie Weatherington-Rice who has a Ph.D. in soil science and has been working for Bennett & Williams Environmental Consultants since 1986.
> Weatherington-Rice said it’s possible vinyl chloride can travel through the ground as rain and precipitation move through the soil. It then has the potential to reach groundwater and eventually hit well fields.
> “It’s not a question of whether it’s going to be an issue, it will be an issue, the question is how bad of an issue is it gonna be, where is it gonna go, and how long is it gonna take to get there, and what’s gonna happen when it gets there,” Weatherington-Rice said.

> “We basically nuked a town with chemicals so we could get a railroad open,” said Sil Caggiano, a hazardous materials specialist.
> Caggiano says ethylhexyl acrylate is especially worrisome. He says it’s a carcinogen and contact with it can cause burning and irritation in the skin and eyes. Breathing it in can irritate the nose and throat and cause coughing and shortness of breath.
> Isobutylene is also known to cause dizziness and drowsiness when inhaled.
> “I was surprised when they quickly told the people they can go back home, but then said if they feel like they want their homes tested they can have them tested. I would’ve far rather they did all the testing,” Caggiano said.
> Caggiano says it’s possible some of these chemicals could still be present in homes and on objects until you clean them thoroughly.
> “There’s a lot of what ifs, and we’re going to be looking at this thing 5, 10, 15, 20 years down the line and wondering, ‘Gee, cancer clusters could pop up, you know, well water could go bad,” Caggiano said.

Disney's Galactic Starcruiser flop makes him sound less wrong than the article tries to make him sound.
Why's GitHub repo is full of useful things for game devs, especially Unity but also C++. https://github.com/brihernandez/Ergo is maybe most relevant to this post for being a C++ implementation of a basic 3D space shooter engine built on raylib.
Nothing stops anyone from writing a mediocre song. Hell, it's one of the easiest things in creation to do. Hum a melody, make some words fit. Write it down, make up your own notation for the melody if you want; you don't even have to perform it. Congratulations! You're in the same field as Colin Meloy.
ChatGPT isn't even doing this much. It's read all the tabs and lyrics of every song within its reach until 2021, and then spits out an average response based on average similar requests. It's a songwriter in the same way a 7-year-old telling you a story about an alligator who ate a city is an author.
Have you considered that maybe we don't
- A lot of people come to it wanting to edit or annotate existing city/street maps with geometry, like you're describing.
- My first encounters with it were trying to plot points on a map to build a heat map, in a data analysis context, and I was coming from Google Earth/KML.
- The next time, I wanted to georeference raster maps to make more accurate vector data, and I was coming from Inkscape and Illustrator.
- Another popular use case is to work with topographical and height data, which is another workflow with mostly another interface in QGIS.
- And all of these can have very different output goals - slippy maps with raster or vector tiles, topo maps, 3D renderings and prints, GeoJSON and PostGIS data.
The "most obvious" app for each of those use cases would each be different, with different interfaces. And I can see where that would be good for beginners, or for limited use cases, but at some point each of those use cases intersects with another. Drawing bike lanes on a map quickly means working with topo data. Georeferencing a new base map eventually hits plotting POIs and drawing things like political borders as geometry. Outputting a heat map from data you plot in QGIS can work, but then you need to plug it into a database at some point so the data can be updated in a shared or automated context.
IMO what would be more useful for QGIS is a ground-up, no-assumptions review of its UI similar to what Blender did in 2.8/3.0. Find where they can consolidate redundant or conflicting tools and interfaces, redesign their mouse/keyboard interactions and tool palettes around how users intuit they should work, and provide alternate modes for the more complex workflows that existing users are accustomed to. Blender's redesign proved pretty well that an esoteric UI can be streamlined and modernized without sacrificing power user workflows.
But I don't know if the QGIS UI community is as large, organized, or focused on modern UI design as Blender's, which was a rather unique case in FLOSS. And it'd be difficult to divorce QGIS's GIS data-editing engine from its interface as a whole to build standalone tools with smaller UIs focused on tasks instead of toolboxes.
Plugins might be able to do this, which could be an interesting approach. Instead of adding features like plugins tend to do, one could ship a "flavor" of QGIS with pre-installed and -configured plugins that provide narrower, task-focused interfaces around existing features.
