Thanks, sorry for the late response – busy week. Good point, wasn't even aware that the inherited variable view is only shown in projects but not subgroups. On a quick glance I couldn't find an existing feature proposal to add it

Do you have an example screenshot somewhere? I'm wondering what exactly this does that GitLab doesn't, because inherited variables are shown within GitLab UI directly – fairly barebones, though, so I'm curious to see your UI

I'm a Support Engineer at GitLab, and based on my own experience that statement is definitely correct. There's entire classes of problems you simply don't have to deal with at all for SaaS customers.

Thank you, that’s another good example, to which I wish I could relate less. ;)

Thanks, that's a great example. I've actually encountered this exact thing at my current employer as well.

I'm afraid that does not solve this particular problem, just happened again on the very first try. I still think this is intentional or at least happily accepted on part of Twitter, with the happy side effect to make it as shitty an ex

Thanks, if that works that would be amazing. I'm most often getting it inside in-app browsers, e.g. when opening a Twitter link in Tweetbot, Apollo or similar apps. Not sure if they share the same central settings/service workers.

That's exactly what I'm planning to explore as a workaround to remove the blank pages until ABBYY and/or Apple sort this out. :)

I think you might interpret the word more harshly than I intend it to be. Something that worked before Big Sur is not working in Big Sur. It's broken. That's all there is to it for me as an end user. Of course there is a differenc

This is at least the second time that Apple breaks Preview in this way. I outlined why this bug is something a lot of users could run into, and I even mention that I'm not necessarily holding it against them that it breaks, but specifi

Fair enough, though I'd still argue that a public write-up that might warn a few people and save them the trouble is well worth writing on its own. As this blog is just a hobby, my time for it is limited and it's not like a write-

In theory that is probably true – in my actual scenario I can't run them through ABBYY again because of the limitations of the bundled version. It only accepts PDFs coming from the scanner software, so running these through ABBYY again

Could you explain why or how exactly I'm an ass?

That's fair, and I honestly didn't enjoy posting the headline here, but as far as I know I have to use the original title? And the original title is from a personal blog where we talk about annoying things. We're not a profes

Well, technically you at least only have a chance of noticing the error after opening a PDF (again). I suppose that's because after saving the old, correct data is still in memory, but I don't know exactly when the corruption ha

I personally don't use anything else, but when the problem first occured a few years ago, it was not limited to PDFs from ABBYY. (Which is not to say that it's purely Preview.app's fault. Maybe all of these PDFs were created

by matrixagent 6y ago
I honestly don't care who is exactly at fault. I definitely blame Apple for destroying the PDF. There might be plenty of blame left for ABBYY for creating a bad PDF in the first place. That does not change how utterly unacceptable Prev

Read it again. This bug could hit you without ever using ABBYY yourself. Apple broke Preview.

Interesting, I've always wondered about the very different approaches of Basecamp and GitLab when it comes to remote salaries. Basecamp pays the same, GitLab always (as far as I know) followed the same idea as Twitter and VMware are no

Ahh, so as long as I only list single ports and not pairs, it is not exposed to the host, because the other number of a pair is the port to be exposed on the host. And therefor it is not exposed to the public network in this case. Makes sen

If I'm reading the docker-compose file correctly, this creates an open dns resolver that is accessible to the outside, as Docker by default bypasses the firewall, see https://github.com/chaifeng/ufw-docker . I&#x27
