ASN was pretty bad - they recently wanted me to renew KYC/ID info. They wanted to install a Chrome Plugin that then would read the government KYC data. I nope'd out of that very fast. The alternative indeed was an app.

I actually did the same but at some point was like "this is good enough" and it works well. Diffs, comments on diffs, integration with Linear and worktrees is good enough for now and gives me a productivity boost. Couple of other apps in the space but at the time none supported Claude Code in terminals

I think we're talking about 500 updated apps here. You could've done it manually, didnt need a kubernetes cluster

Time for the META Down Detector - detecting which of the three is down

There is also weather and voice recognition services. If implemented with third party APIs those costs can add up.

No one would ever hack my app!

The license is also not front and center

Lol, it's funny you need a higher level language and choose... JSON.

Time for an "open source contributor"-by proxy service ;)

Well, and there being feeds of videos?

cough https://www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/analysis/ovhcloud-fire... (physical security isn't just access control)

Would rather have 5 episodes with a 5 min sponsor section than one 25 min episode about your way too expensive cooling mattress

How many wheelchairs are actually truely customized? I hear a lot of complaints from wheelchair manufacturers that this isn't really customized

Also saw a bunch of tennis courts

The final report looking into it was published yesterday

There's also a lot of other use cases! For example, if you have a train schedule with stations and times, you often aren't told how the train will navigate between those stations. In some countries it's straightforward but for instance SNCF TGV services in France sometimes go hours without stopping at a station, crossing a lot of distance. In that case a solution like this can help you find an educated best guess to show users on a map.

Fun to see someone productionize this - I've done this for years to get segments between two stations to accurately be able to render individual train services. I'll let you know that at least on national rail provider in Europe used those results for a long time...

Don't worry I was downvoted to oblivion for it! It wasn't meant snarky but I get that that's what it reads like.

Hey look, its Redash! https://github.com/getredash/redash

I just hope they don't kill Beepberry/beepy

Created the first version of an app that took large long PDFs of train driver/conductor schedules in my country and presented them in an nice way in an app. The previous sources were all hard to navigate and had ads. I spent a weekend parsing PDFs into SQLite, and shipped the app with a preloaded database. Then kept updating and tweaking and added some fun intersections of the data ("who else is operating this train").

8 years later my source of data stopped providing data because of data protection concerns and the company introduced their own app/functionality for the same. Never earned me a dime directly but did get me my next job - it was a great sample for the interview

"Dont turn off the light, I might die!"

I need this for Mac!

I think the sticking point was city pairs served - significant overlap there

On Android TV that's not always true - you sometimes get a batch of unskippable ads for 15 seconds or so

Not when Google is just doing a money grab and is doing a terrible job at filtering ads. They have some ads that are 1.5 hours long. That shouldn't be possible. I also recently reported an ad that was clearly AI generated content of Elon Musk doing a crypto scam. Report was ignored.

If only there was public transit...

To be honest this is mainly a US thing, and only because iPhone penetration is such a high percentage. Outside of US, Whatsapp and other apps are king

While true, at least there isn't a hardware lock-in.

Except for Home Depot and many regional news syndicates
