notes

Here's a collection of value statements at diverse companies, as Agaric considers defining some more public values ourselves.

Nava PBC has a comprehensive set of well-thought-out values, entitled Nava's Core Values:

TLDR

VirtualBox (in my case, vagrant-managed) local-only network connections (and, e.g. NFS shares piped through them) fail when the host syspends and resumes. NetworkManager (or possibly another network managers) are interfering. If you use NetworkManager, get it out of the way by adding:
[keyfile]
unmanaged-devices=interface-name:vboxnet0
to your /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf. (Additional interfaces can be listed after a semi-colon). If you need to read this later and get back to work NOW, try this:

Color blindness simulator

If the design fails to work well in simulator, send it back, before implementation.

4.5% of world is colorblind: 8% of men, 0.5% of women.

Behat is a tool to support behavior-driven development in PHP. Behavior-driven development, in turn, is a set of practices and tools to bring leadership, technical, and other participants in a software project to the same understanding of needed outcomes. The key to this is to describe what people should be able to do with the application in language that all participants understand. The role of tools like Behat is to enable these human-readable sentences to be run as machine-readable tests.

Inherit local-only options with 'parent'

Parent is not working across files. Filed support request: http://drupal.org/node/1262230

Weirdest. Server. Drupal. Zen. Bug. Ever. Our client's site suddenly stopped working. With a server error.

Safari can’t open the page. Safari can’t open the page “http://www.example.com/landing” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection. This sometimes occurs when the server is busy. Wait for a few minutes, and then try again.

Opera was just a blank white screen. But other sites on the server were still working.

• Features Extra block (fe_block) does not export block cache settings (from the contrib module).
• Views export is either broken or, more likely, it knows when they are already defined by a module.

Using the magic of menu block (dev) and menu attributes.
