We're currently using supabase in production. I was already planning to leave them. I feel like it's close to good, but still really does have a _lot_ of bugs. It really doesn't feel like it's been tested thoroughly,

The desire of fastener tension is clamping force or fastener stretch in some cases, not fastener torque. I think what the parent is saying is that a perfectly torqued fastener is only about 30% accurate in terms of clamping force.

I would highly recommend that you check out the documentary ”Pianomania” if you haven’t seen it already. It follows a Steinway piano tuner as he tunes instruments for a few famous pianists doing exactly the kind of thing you mentioned.

The author clearly should have gone into the specific use-cases he was talking about. An IDE _is_ nothing more than a text editor with advanced features. There's a huge continuum from a basic text-editor like notepad to a full fledge

I think this also ignores that video games are _vastly_ more complicated than the space shuttle - from a "computers" perspective. The did some very impressive things with some novel and primitive computers, but the amount of &quo

Because they are made of human beings and live on planet Earth. A better question is why do we think companies shouldn't care about that? Why isn't it their responsibility?

The movie theater one is actually kind of interesting. There is a certain maximum audio power that a room can sustain before loosing fidelity. I think _all_ sound engineers know about this, but a projectionist with a volume knob probably

The final point you made, where you stated: > Note that I am using browser extensions, like uBlock Origin or Privacy Badger, but I'm only doing so for privacy reasons. is, I think, very relevant to the entire discussion. With the w

I think this largely ignores "how" ads are distributed. The website you are looking at did not select _any_ of the ads you see. They chose a network who is delegating that placement to someone else. Depending on which ad networ

I think a lot of this is just some weird expectations. You cannot _use_ a database without knowing sql. ORMs work great, but you have to know sql to use them properly. What if you want to load a relationship with a join? What if you wan

It seems like there's something getting lost here. A lot of comments and even articles make it sound like Apple is retaliating against fb at random, which is not true. FB had an internal app agreement with apple to distribute apps to

It's interesting to see so many new businesses forget the lessons that previous businesses learned. Brand identity and trust used to be the foundation of businesses, and at some level (I'm not sure what level) it still is. Even

Since a lot of this has been coming up I thought many people might like to know the basics of how the auto-thrust system is used. Some of this information could be slightly inaccurate so if a real pilot wants to correct anything here, that
