navigator.geolocation.getAccuratePosition
// navigator.geolocation.getAccuratePosition() is an improved version of navigator.geolocation.getCurrentPosition()
//
// getAccuratePosition() is designed and tested for iOS.
//
// The problem with getCurrentPosition() is that it returns an inaccurate position even with "enableHighAccuracy" enabled.
// The problem with watchPosition() is that it calls the success handler every second, and it is resource-intensive.
//
// getAccuratePosition() calls the callback only once, but uses watchLocation() internally to obtain a position that meets your accuracy needs.
// If the timeout is exceeded before a position meeting your accuracy is needed, the best position is returned to the
// success callback, and the error callback does not fire. If you really care about accuracy, you should check it

Poor Man's Deploy

  • Start a Sinatra server on port 4000
  • GET / to that server triggers a git pull and mod_rails restart
  • Hit port 4000 locally after pushing

Why?
