Can you explain what you mean by this? I have never heard the term "documentation theater", yet it seems like you're using it pejoratively here. The Microsoft version has a summary of the intended purpose of the class, a bri

Have run into this myself when building the same "preview upload" feature. It's annoying that it's not something that is just handled by the browser, it feels like it should be a supported feature of the "img"

mLab was affected by this, and based on their own status page it looks like some volumes are permanently unrecoverable: https://status.mlab.com/

I've certainly read apocryphal stories (perhaps on HN, can't remember) about offensive data being used in test cases "as a joke" and due to a variety of reasons having that data end up in production systems (visible to c

The first time I remember reading this, one of the comments mentioned Arthur C. Clarke's "How The World Was One" as a deeper dive into the same subject. If you enjoy this article I highly recommend picking up a copy, it'

"Each photo you decide to share is opt-in" - I don't think that is really how permissions work on either Android or iOS. Once you have given the app permissions to access your photos, they can do so - with or without the user

I've had that book on my shelf for several years now after receiving it as a gift. I really need to make time to read it.

I don't know, has there been anything of this sort in the age of Twitter and social media outrage? Seems like the unprecedented ability that we have for information to quickly disseminate could allow the 737 Max issue to live on a lot

I use the "Old Reddit Redirect" Chrome extension to automatically switch to old.reddit.com. It's kind of unbelievable how much worse the new site layout is by almost any metric (usability, performance, etc.). https:/&#

As someone who is unfamiliar with the area, are you being facetious, or is the natural geography particularly well-suited to building a pool of this sort?

Geohashes are really cool, glad to see them mentioned in this thread. If you aren't familiar, you owe it to yourself to read the second Wikipedia article linked by the parent, it's a neat concept.

Is that necessarily true? Based on this article ( https://www.flyingmag.com/how-it-works-angle-attack-indicato... ) it seems like they should be accurate regardless.

It really doesn't take much input lag for things to feel sluggish and unresponsive. I've tried to play Rocket League on a Steam Link, and while it was technically _possible_ to do so, there was just enough sluggishness in the cont

Had to go back and look up when it was originally announced that the Model 3 would have a base price of $35k - it was nearly 3 years ago! Despite being on "Elon time", it's still a laudable goal and a milestone worth celebrat

This is a good point. Desktop/web clients have existed for a while, but I find that I listen to probably 90% of my podcasts on my smartphone. Prior to owning a phone with a large amount of storage, I just didn't really listen to p
