Rails people: is there a proper way to customize Rack middleware in tests (ActionDispatch::IntegrationTest)? I need to do it selectively on specific test cases, not globally. There must be a better way than fiddling with MiddlewareStack & friends (right? RIGHT??).

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Sometimes implementing a feature or fixing a bug becomes so hard, standard tools don’t cut it anymore. That’s usually because the problem can’t be shrunk enough to fit into a human brain. The moment comes when you need heavy artillery tools: pen and paper. For me, 100% success, 100% of the time.

Trump riceve la vaccinazione COVID-19 e antinfluenzale, sulla base dei dati di efficacia e sicurezza. I suoi sostenitori parlano di vaccini come armi biologiche mentre la persona più potente al mondo si vaccina e loda Pfizer per aver prodotto vaccini straordinari. Delirio/cortocircuito per i MAGA. 🧪

In the first half of 2025 China’s new additions were more than twice the new capacity installed by the entire rest of the world this year. The #2 on the list, India, installed 24GW. The US at #3 installed 21GW. There is an order of magnitude difference. lovli.fyi/zWVS

My preference goes to long form write-ups for discussion/decision making, followed by the actual breakdown of tasks into cards. The analysis process makes sense even as a meta-task on its own.
