  #TIL On the Safari start page on iOS there’s an edit tab at the bottom where you can disable sections like suggestions.

  #til Also on the subject of Firefox, there are some amazing #Firefox tab management add-ons out there:

  • Winger -- excellent for those favouring a one window per project workflow.
  • native Tab Groups!
  • Favicon Switcher -- excellent for distinguishing multiple project on the same domain.
  • Keep pinned tabs alive -- always have access to the pinned tabs. Great with Sticky pinned tabs and Toggle pin tab.
  • Select after closing current -- excellent keyboard support on this one.

  Remembered about this hidden browser.compactmode.show Firefox about:config setting, enabled it in Customize toolbar... and added a few tweaks to my userChrome.css file. Considering the browser is open all day for me, it's worth optimising the environment a little for open tabs. #til #firefox

  /* make it easier to find active tab */
  .tab-background {
      &:is([selected], [multiselected]) {
          border-top: 1px solid #444 !important;
      }
  }
  
  /* thinner pins, even in compact toolbar mode */
  .tab-content {
      padding: 0 4px !important;
  }
  
  /* remove space between tabs */
  .tabbrowser-tab {
      padding: 0 !important;
  }

  #til In #Godot when you attach a node with a scale as a child of one that doesn't support scale (Node vs Node2D for example), there is a flicker as the card is rescaled. Convert the node to a scale supporting type to fix this.

  #til In Godot, if a scene is instantiated at design time and a child is added to it, does the child belongs to the scene whose tree is currently open, or the scene it's attached to?

  When duplicating a node (including a scene) at runtime it is the node tree where the node sits that is duplicated, so it includes the child. But if the scene is marked as a InstancePlaceholder, and create_instance() is called at runtime, it creates a instance of the scene, and any attached children have to be duplicated and attached to the instance with code. #Godot

  #til In Godot, when you have a project containing a node MyNode that is a scene itself, and MyNode contains two child nodes within the scene and one is added as a child of MyNode in the project, the number of get_children() that a script belonging to the root node of the MyNode scene returns is 3. #godot

  #TIL Deleted files can be restored in JetBrains products' Local History feature, such as PHPStorm.

  Macos' patch command is outdated and doesn't work with some modern patches. Homebrew has a gpatch (GNU's patch) which is up to date and the composer PHP utility takes advantage of this automatically if it's installed. #til

  Use an expression to select an array value in PHP. It's handy for quick output logic. Update: it's a bit too clever, perhaps, versus using the tenary operator.

  $classes .= [ ' sort-default', ' sort-custom' ][ has_custom_sort( $post ) ];

  When you want to create an exception to a add_header directive in nginx that is declared in an include, just declare it before it, as successive declarations of the same header are ignored. #til

  You can search GitHub wikis by using the search bar and then filtering by wiki. That's almost as nice as keeping your notes in a Lamb instance ;-) #TIL
