@wcools The text of the journal entry changed between frame 0:13 and 0:14. This seems unrelated to the UI change request.

Today, I learned I can open a new blank Google doc by typing into the browser URL bar:

🟦 https://t.co/0fXucvBLUB
🟩 https://t.co/tKQKisKsg0
🟨 https://t.co/2NxFbOwimq

These domains are vetted and owned by Google.

You're welcome.

The biggest scam in the world:

Alcohol.

It's destroying your brain and health.

Here's what alcohol does to you (backed by science):

Microsoft just released a tool that lets you convert Office files to Markdown. Never thought I'd see the day.

Google also added Markdown export to Google Docs a few months ago.

@platformsh 10/10 The @platformsh Drupal10 template doesn’t ensure idempotency—config can still be lost due to Admin UI changes.

If gating config:import on code changes is a workaround, what’s the official best practice?

Did you know that #Drupal sites hosted on @platformsh are susceptible to production configuration data loss? 🧵 1/10

[James Wilson @jwilson3]

@platformsh 9/10 Support confirmed:

PLATFORM_TREE_ID is reliable.
Our approach is valid, but a workaround.
They’re hesitant to document it officially but emphasize deploy hooks must be idempotent.

Our follow-up: How is config import automation recommended for Drupal?

I found a slightly shorter way to write it:

.prose :empty:not(br,embed,hr,input,img,wbr) {
display: none;
}

[James Wilson @jwilson3]

🙃Hiding empty cruft from CMSs in 2024:

```.prose :empty:not(area):not(br):not(embed):not(hr):not(input):not(img):not(wbr) {
display: none;
}```

A real shame that the `:empty` pseudo-class also matches all void-but-not-empty elements too.

@adamsilverhq I’m always bewildered by “the list is too long for radios”. I

f you can’t make the list shorter, then squashing it behind a more complex tinier scrolling window isn’t the answer. Keep the interaction simple.

Woot! `text-wrap: balance` is a fantastic feature for longer academic-style post titles and headings.

[Jen Simmons @jensimmons]

Safari 17.5 is out today! With
• text-wrap: balance
• light-dark()
• @​starting-style
• @​import <url> supports(<feature>);
• AV1 for WebCodecs
• WebGL EXT_conservative_depth and NV_shader_noperspective_interpolation

And more!
