Previously, it was unnecessarily difficult to parse the sentence to
determine that "HTTP response" and "internal state of the server
following the request" are the coherent ideas. Even if length wasn't
an issue, e.g. "... and checking both the A and B are correct", the
sentence still feels a bit fragile without a "that".
Since the second phrase is indeed relatively long, and "internal state
of the server" is a reasonable guess for the second coherent idea, the
"the" helps to reset the reader's expectation about where the next
coherent idea starts, and ends.
Lastly, having "both" in front of the two phrases encourages an
assumption that they're shorter (which is especially problematic for
the second phrase), while having it at the end of the sentence helps
to anchor the end of the second phrase; this is especially true since
the absence of "both" before that point encourages an assumption that
you haven't finished reading yet, given that two things have been
mentioned.
This is a fairly involved set of changes, including changes that:
* Delete various legacy or semi-duplicated sections of testing.md.
Nobody needs to manually delete the postgres datbase anymore, as
reflected in the fact that the docs still mention postgres 9.1 from
Ubuntu Precise.
* Simplify the distracting heading section at the top of testing.md.
* Move content on manual testing to docs/development/using.md.
* Moves some content related to managing the database to
schema-migrations.md. (Resulting in some cleanups to that page as
well).
I ideally would have split this into smaller pieces.
I added this tool a few years ago, and I did have
a vision for how it would improve our codebase, but
I can't remember exactly where I was going with it.
At this point the tool is just a little too noisy
to be helpful. An example of it creating confusion
was a recent PR where somebody was patching
user_circle_class in the PM list, and we already
had similar code in the buddy list, because they
use the same CSS. I mean, there was possibly a way
that the code could have been structured to remove
some of the duplication, but it probably would have
just moved the complexity around.
I just don't think it's worth maintaining the tool
at this point.
- Updated 260+ links from ".html" to ".md" to reduce the number of issues
reported about hyperlinks not working when viewing docs on Github.
- Removed temporary workaround that suppressed all warnings reported
by sphinx build for every link ending in ".html".
Details:
The recent upgrade to recommonmark==0.5.0 supports auto-converting
".md" links to ".html" so that the resulting HTML output is correct.
Notice that links pointing to a heading i.e. "../filename.html#heading",
were not updated because recommonmark does not auto-convert them.
These links do not generate build warnings and do not cause any issues.
However, there are about ~100 such links that might still get misreported
as broken links. This will be a follow-up issue.
Background:
docs: pip upgrade recommonmark and CommonMark #13013
docs: Allow .md links between doc pages #11719Fixes#11087.
Now that we're implemented tsearch_extras in pure postgres, we no
longer need a custom extension. This should help us considerably, as
it means we no longer need to ship custom apt packages at all.
Fixes#467.

mypy in daemon mode takes some 400 MiB of memory, and cannot follow
imports of type-annotated third-party packages; meanwhile, non-daemon
mode is no longer nearly as slow as it once was.

Delete trailing newlines from all files, except
tools/ci/success-http-headers.txt and tools/setup/dev-motd, where they
are significant, and static/third, where we want to stay close to
upstream.

As a result of dropping support for trusty, we can remove our old
pattern of putting `if False` before importing the typing module,
which was essential for Python 3.4 support, but not required and maybe
harmful on newer versions.

This was rewritten by tabbott to use markdown steps, avoid
distractions about things you don't need to change, and remove the
screenshots, which I felt were more clutter than value.
This also means the default dev environment is now based on Ubuntu
18.04 (bionic), part of our overall effort to migrate off Ubuntu
Trusty.

This guide was originally written as part of the process of adding
i18n support to Zulip, so it had way too much focus on development
tooling details not relevant to translators.
There's probably a separate follow-up project we should do to move the
developers-only content to a separate article, since it's kinda lost
here for that audience.
Thanks to David Wood for asking a question that inspired me to do
this.
