This is documented on the Litestream website.

A dimmer switch for an LED light is different from a dimmer switch for a non-LED light. If you try to use an LED light with a “normal” dimmer, it won’t work well.

At first I thought you meant an umbrella that doesn't work very well.

Simple, clean, does exactly what it says. If only more software was like this :)

Actually the NSA is the US’s version of GCHQ.

That was probably it: not being quite perpendicular. Oh well!

That’s very similar to my experience except docking was just too hard. No matter how carefully I tried to match the rotation, 99 times out of 100 I crashed. I still don’t really understand why! So I just stayed around the starting point, which was a shame but still quite fun.

XML is brittle which makes it hard to work with. One tiny syntax error somewhere and your whole XML pipeline fails.

XSLT is powerful but harder to get right than just reshaping JSON.

But those 70 miles can take a disproportionately long time!

It probably depends on whether you are searching a body of natural language text (use tf-idf) or a list of things (use fuzzy search).

"Not too bothered about styling" is quite important. Datalists are relatively uncommon and I think many users may not know what they are seeing and how they can interact with it.

Also datalists appear quite different across different browsers, which is fine of course for a native form control, but annoying if you're aiming for a more consistent look.

I believe the maintainers regard authentication, rightly or wrongly, as a business-level feature. Not so much the mechanics of checking a user's credentials but how you want to steer the different authentication flows.

Look up the Tau Manifesto: it’s all explained there.
