From time to time, Musk will send out an e-mail to the entire company to enforce a new policy or let them know about something that's bothering him. One of the more famous e-mails arrived in May 2010 with the subject line: Acronyms Seriously Suck:

There is a creeping tendency to use made up acronyms at SpaceX. Excessive use of made up acronyms is a significant impediment to communication and keeping communication good as we grow is incredibly important. Individually, a few acronyms here and there may not seem so bad, but if a thousand people are making these up, over time the result will be a huge glossary that we have to issue to new employees. No one can actually remember all these acronyms and people don't want to seem dumb in a meeting, so they just sit there in ignorance. This is particularly tough on new employees.

That needs to stop immediately or I will take drastic action - I have given enough warning over the years. Unless an acronym is approved by me, it should not enter the SpaceX glossary.

File uploads in Batman

Problem

When you use input type="file" in Batman, the change event is observed and node.files is used to obtain the file when it changes.

In browsers that do not support the FileReader API node.files will be undefined.

	// This example shows how to render pages that perform AJAX calls
	// upon page load.
	//
	// Instead of waiting a fixed amount of time before doing the render,
	// we are keeping track of every resource that is loaded.
	//
	// Once all resources are loaded, we wait a small amount of time
	// (resourceWait) in case these resources load other resources.
	//
	// The page is rendered after a maximum amount of time (maxRenderTime)
