I use ms edge for this exact use case. Works well enough on any platform

This look very similar to a (mac only?) product that was discussed on HN a few years ago: https://www.rewind.ai/

Congrats on your launch and good luck building it, I agree with other comments that dashboards and views are pretty important.

Small bug report: when editing the dropdown, current entries have "API Name" disabled (this is normal), but the value is changend automatically when editing the "Display name". The page errors out (400 error for UpdateObject).

When using devtools and editing "API Name" to stay the same, everything works.

If IPP is HTTP-based would it be possible to print directly from the brower to the printer, regardless of OS?

That would be kinda cool or am I misunderstanding something?

It's a single data point but a friend of mine had an outage with ".online" in switzerland.

We resolved it by pointing clients to use google dns.

Never had similar problems with .com

From the article: "support for up to a 6K display".

Seems like it's the same as the M1 MacBook Air and Pro.

If you liked Lost In a Space Odyssey check out "Lovers in a dangerous spacetime"[1] which it seems to draw inspiration from (similar artstyle and mechanics). It's a really fun and well made co-op game.

Meanwhile they allow locations services to continue even after the user "turns off" the wifi following android footsteps(1). So tracking in apps will be worse for users.

As a customer really it seems they talk a lot about privacy yet implements "sneaky" changes like this, it seems a bit dishonest.

1. I know the feature is a different in IOS (it only disconnects connected devices) but for location services/tracking this is effectively the same as android. see: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208086

11.99€ for the "UHD/4k" subscription, my local cinema costs 7.80€.

I agree it is still reasonable but I feel that a limited release would be better as a subscription for a single film is pretty dumb IMO.

As a french I strongly disagree that Netflix or Amazon provide a viewer friendly movie viewing experience. You are forced into a subscription that provides little to no value because their library is really small in France (for movies).

As for the regulations I agree that they are too strict for the digital age but not releasing in the theaters is a pretty bad solution IMO.

New comment by infinita740 in "Ask HN: Books you read in 2016?"

infinita740 — Thu, 22 Dec 2016 13:08:40 +0000

I read mostly on my kindle, I also read a few technical books as pdf on my laptop.

I read two physical books this year (~25 on kindle).

I read a lot of books at the same time so I find e-readers to be very convenient because I don't have to carry a lot of books as I used to do before.

EDIT: clarification

infinita740 — Wed, 13 Apr 2016 19:38:30 +0000

Don't feel to bad for buying the voyage. the paperwhite is heavier than even the older Kindle version that I own (no touchscreen with page turn buttons).

I read a lot with one hand and I couldn't make the switch to the paperwhite because of its weight (I read quite a bit with my brother's one, you can definitely feel the difference).

I still agree that the Oasis is really expensive. It's really a shame because it's designed for my favorite use case.

The game doesn't "work" on microsoft edge but the brower doesnt recognize the Stanford links[0] , it is not possible to copy them by right clicking. Going directly to the page by copy/pasting the url doesn't even load the website. IE doesn't seem to understand the url as well.

The only brower I've tried that manages to get a page is firefox[1]

Imgur and Dropbox are for two totally different purposes. Typically you would use imgur when you quickly want to share an image (no need for an account), post images on reddit or on a forum (no limit on bandwidth and direct linking).
