This looks amazing, I would love to purchase if it ever is ported to Android.

Make sure you're adding it to the "My Filters" section, not the Import section under "Filter Lists". This fixed it for me.
This is one hell of a bad day, I am impressed at how they were able to solve this.

Very cool, although it seems to be missing both the Waterloo & City line and the Hammersmith & City line.
Looks promising, please let me know if you're able to add Swedish or if that's on a roadmap.
Exactly this! It immediately turned me off from the product when I realised there isn’t a single practical image of it. It’s impossible to visualise how it would actually look on the counter.

This is a good step forward, but I desperately want to be able to extend a display on Android rather than screen mirroring.
I've since deleted all the site settings and re-authenticated and now i don't get any errors however the tasks do not break down, it simply inserts what i type below as a single activity. There's no clear output in console nor any thing i can easily send you for diagnostics alas.
Hi Ananth,

This looks very promising however every attempt at a demo ended with a server 500 error in the console. I also was put off by the warning from google that the site has permission to permanently delete all of my google calendars when signing up just to try the site. https://imgur.com/a/uoR0frO

How do you eliminate false positives from pilot usage of the device or knocking into it? I wonder how long it will be before flight insurers start using this data for hedging following the Singapore Airlines flight SQ321 turbulence incident.
I'll be awaiting the android version too, best of luck and congratulations on the IOS launch.
This is amazing, the amount of skill and knowledge involved is very impressive.
I also had one migrated and the left on GD, safe to say the transfer from GD to Cloudflare for all of the non migrated domains was very quick. The one on Squarespace is taking days to move. It took several hours to get the transfer authorisation code and now I've been waiting days for the actual transfer to happen. I was very happy with Google Domains, however I'm not surprised in the least that they killed off the product as they seem to do for everything.
Re:Ask HN: Free alternative to Teamviewer? on Thursday April 11, 2024 @10:45AM (#40002777)
I ran into this problem recently too, i found https://www.helpwire.app as an alternative, it was very useful as it clearly showed me what step the client was on to start the connection. However it doesn't allow unattended access, I will likely use a combination of this and Rustdesk
Hey, just so you know, it seems like it's possible to get stuck during the onboarding journey (No option but to refresh the page)

I tried the app using the 'no account' option. At the end of the exercise, it asked me to sign up to see my results. Clicking on 'sign up', I filled in my details only to find out that the email apparently already is in use (clearly, I've forgotten signing up). It recommends I should try logging in instead. However, there is no way for the user to log in at this point without losing the test task and totally restarting the journey.

Please consider adding a way out, with either a close dialogue option or a path to login/forgotten password flow

Looks like they've now retracted it from the site: Here is a screenshot before it was removed https://i.imgur.com/EpyIkux.jpeg

The Youtube Description states the inspiration was this: "After seeing the documentary "Alone in the wilderness" by Dick Proenneke, I became completely obsessed with the idea...."

"I know my journey and I hope to inspire others the same way Dick Proenneke inspired me."

Pretty fun, few comments 1) The Share Results currently includes a few spoilers as it shows that the player has included the result of one of the previous steps. This makes it considerably easier for someone to get the answer. https://imgur.com/a/frGcWtL

2) It does not appear to remember your game if you close the browser and return as wordle does. The solution you entered is then hidden. https://imgur.com/a/IEFRFnT

it would be nice to be able to get back to this screen once you've completed it even if you close the browser https://imgur.com/a/DDkF7On

So you're saying there is an edge ? ;)
Re:Matrix trailer dynamically uses current time on Wednesday September 08, 2021 @06:11AM (#28455129)
This is fantastic, I was always intrigued if it would be possible to create a similar effect using actual code from Github rather than glyphs.
Simply saying "No" and not understanding another's view point is a missed opertunity. Intuition of process or technology "XYZ" is not the same for everyone. Understanding how to guide Users to a more efficent workflow is half the battle.
You need to understand their workflow and suggest friction free interfaces to migrate to a process that helps you too. This issue can be with any User & software combo not just a PM. If you can't get through UAT/UA (User Acceptance Testing/ User Adoption) then no matter how perfect a solution you make, it's irrelevant.
Re:Britain Needs a Cigarette on Friday June 04, 2021 @11:39AM (#27394707)
Can't stand this guy's self entitled attitude. He's perfectly allowed to do this in his own private premise. But when the activity affects others health and causes long term damage to rooms it's not surprising there are no hotels that allow it in the room.

Totally selfish.

I am no Autopilot fan, but that doesn't seem like the best road design/layout.

Interesting article but so hard to read! Edit: More readable URL. https://highline.huffingtonpost.com/articles/en/poor-millenn...
Just tried on a Win10 Chrome with Ublock running and it seemed to work okay
