This. It's a pretty awful way to present anything. The reader is still clueless and unsure about what they are reading even after navigating through 3 or so links. At each click I was hoping to read anything related to APIs but all I was reading is bureaucrat noise.
Perhaps it's a good idea. I can't tell. I wonder if anyone can.
Seconded. And even browsing the actual AEPs, they are presented so confusingly, it's hard to say how it actually works. There's lots of prose, when the first thing I would want to see of a concept is a plain-text HTTP request and response, not a clever Protobuf definition and colored words all over the place.
Any project where all of the links on the first page are “meta” such as “project governance” is my little red flag that tells me there is zero value to be found here.
Some years ago I commuted to work by subway in a city that had turnstiles at all transit stops. Having earbuds unceremoneously ripped out of my ears by spinning metal arms sent me straight to bluetooth and I have never looked back.
I realize it's not your app, but damn I have never seen a landing page with so little information about the featured product. "200 additional features"
> “Nobody was asking for the screen to be bigger. Nobody was asking for more production, more lasers. Literally, the number one complaint every year was, ‘Hey, you guys are overselling these shows, we want more room to dance.’”
I went to a show at Fabric in London during Kubecon last spring and they did the same thing. I still saw the odd person who peeled it off taking selfies or pics of friends inside but that was definitely the exception.
Perhaps it can be enforced with a type of laser that doesn’t damage the human eye but completely obliterates a phone camera. As long as you keep the sticker on nothing happens to your phone.
I've seen this in Asia, there's an employee who basically is standing at a raised spot in the corner and if you take out your phone they shoot a small laser pointer right into the camera, it messes with the video. They can't get it on there all the time but a video where half of it (or more they are surprisingly accurate) is a strobing laser becomes pretty garbage anyways. While they are doing that another employee/bouncer comes over and warns them, have seen people get kicked out for pulling it out a second time.
True, it wasn't very specific, but I think we can rule out Afghanistan where music and dancing are illegal.. I haven't been to Tonga, seems possible that there might a little nightlife in Nukuʻalofa but probably not laser-wielding security, so that narrows it down a little.

If we are asking for impossible things why make it so scifi coded? I would much prefer cute bunny unicorns who suddenly grow fangs and bite people who are taking pictures. They are both equaly realistic but the bunny unicorns are nicer to think of.
Of course. There is no doubt that you can shoot cameras out. That's not the problem. The problem is if you try to scale that effect up to the size of a club what you have won't be eye safe. There is not enough margin between "safe for human eyes" and "destroys cameras" to construct a practical system. Especially not to the safety requirements of an entertainment venue.
Baffling piece of software. It's a task manager and every time I use it I flail around for ages trying to figure out how to mark a task completed. No idea why people like it.
