@Nobody But can an API provider? All it can do is disable communications if it even has permissiosn for it; but an user then can still store it in a string and later on upload it
@skiwi @DaggNabbit: It was mainly a joke (what use would be such an application?) but you could theoretically enforce boundaries that cannot be crossed such as: disallowing to send/receive, swiping persistent memory ...
@SimonAndréForsberg I almost suggested that he drop using tests since anyway he doesn't even use them correctly. I'm so tired of saying all those questions
@Simon - there's something 'off' about the way that JD uses Code Review.... though I can;t think of any rules he's circumvented other than that his questions all feel hypothetical
But that's a blurry rule anyway
What my beef boils down to is that we keep saying the same things again and again, and again.
Which, is really my problem, not his.
If I don't want to say things again, then I should just not say things.
Funnily enough, (is it ironically enough), as an interviewer, things I look for are the ability to pay attention to detail.... and to anticipate problems. The actual problem does not matter too much. How much does the person ask, what do they assume, and what do they anticipate.
I feel that his answers are all 'flat', he assumes too much, asks too little, and anticipates only the obvious
This answer does a fair enough job explaining why you can't vote-to-close on a question once you've retracted a close vote. But I'm curious, why can't I change my close-vote reason without retracting my close vote?
For example, this question started as a question that was too broad. There was...
I'm trying to loop through android contacts and upload them to our server. What I have now is unusably slow. The query itself is taking about two and a half minutes for 10,000 contacts and it appears to stop parsing data after the first batch.

My thought was, if you're talking about copying/moving a large amount of data (in his case 150K records) you would do yourself a favor to use SQLite instead
But to use SQLite, you'd have to fetch the contact from the device however it's stored, then insert it into the device's SQLite database, then when you were done doing that for all contacts, go back through them all again to upload to the server.
If it's already in a SQLite database, then SQLite may be relevant, and you're right, it's highly likely that's how it stored.
Actually, given the wide range of Android devices and the tendency for the lower end devices to not have the best hardware, the best solution is might be to upload it in whatever format it currently exists in rather than waste time parsing on what may be a crappy processor, and just let your server sort it all out.
I will say, one of the things that annoys me as an iOS developer is hearing people say "But Android devices are cheaper!" It's the same with PCs. Yes, you can get a non-Apple device for cheaper than you can get an Apple device, but if you want the same hardware specs as an Apple device, you're going to pay almost the same amount you would for an Apple device.
Higher end Android devices are better than Apple devices, yes. They also cost more. Lower end Android devices are not better than Apple devices, but they do cost less.
I'm new to Python. I'd like to iteratively copy all wildcard named folders and files from the C drive to a network share. Wildcard named folders are called "Test_1", "Test_2", etc. with folders containing the same named folder, "Pass". The files in "Pass" end with .log. I do not want to copy...

As you can see when you scroll down the header "shrinks" as expected but does not come back when you scroll up the back as I would have expected. Sometimes just a small part of the header comes back then a few seconds later it fades back in or...
