A list of one-click deployment providers

As Wasya Co offers one-click deployments of several applications and stacks, it makes sense for us to track our competitors. Nothing is new under the sun, and turn-key web applications (appliances) have existed for quite some time. There are many, many solutions for deploying infrastructure as a service (IaaS, SaaS). Multiple industries support the general Installation & Provisioning specialization. Of note, Docker, which we use extensively in-house, provides "one-click" deployments at scale, and more.

Prefix type of variable after the variable name

This one is pretty easy. Between suffixes (namespaces), roots (what a thing actually is), and suffixes and all that, I like to use a suffix (a word-final thing, something that goes at the end of the word) that denotes the type of the thing (name, variable) being used. It probably sounds more complicated than it really is so here are some clarifying examples.

The following examples are either variable names, or properties of an object, or fields of a model, or methods in a class, or keys in a hash. Hopefully you get the idea.

How to mock fetch and a state change in jest, react

tl;dr: I decided not to do it.

Since Enzyme is obsolete as of React 18, you would use <render /> and not <mount />. Therefore, you don't have a wrapper to manipulate and observe the state of the component being tested.

[FIXED] Uncaught PHP Exception EntityStorageException: Invalid address: (to): at SqlContentEntityStorage.php line 815

Seeing this ^ error and currently don't know how to fix it. It happens only on some of my (presumably identically configured) websites. This is happening when a user attempts to post any comment.

Turns out, this was due to a workflow rule that attempted to email the author of a parent-comment and notify them that their comment has been replied to. Since there is no parent comment, there is no email to send a message to, which was causing the error.

How to disable Brave automatic updates - prevent Brave browser from auto-updating

The Brave browser strives to be an independent browser, neither controlled by Google, nor by Microsoft, nor by any other evil mega-corp like Amazon or Facebook. Unfortunately, it still keeps asking the user to update it, and does not give the option to reject the update without extra tweaking. (As reminder to corporations and developers: no means no. There is no "maybe later". It's a flat out no.)
