  • I just came here because I was trying to copy the link from a comment to modify the link in my reply (to make it an old Reddit link), but it was a very frustrating experience.

    Even opening the web view of the comment does so in the internal browser, which just shows the URL and title (hidden under your finger) when you long press on that.

    If I am holding a link it should give options; you already handle tapping on a link in a comment differently from tapping on the text of the comment, so why is the same not true for holding on links?

    Thanks for all your work!


  • I think this is one of those things that seems like it should be easy to automate, but actually has lots of hidden complexity.

    They probably don’t use this to scan commonly available books, because for those you can just cut the spine off the book and scan the pages in a regular scanner.

    This is likely used for books that need to be preserved and can’t be damaged during the scanning process.

    How do you make a machine that will always turn exactly one page and never tear a page, while adapting for different page sizes and thicknesses, and avoiding the static charge that can make pages stick together? All for less money than it costs to pay people to operate this machine.







  • It shouldn’t be checking anything during a ride. If it needs to be turned on at the start of the ride, it should do all the checks and give a green light or a red light (or some other clear indicator) before they start riding.

    That way, the only way it doesn’t go off if someone wears it while ignoring the “system is not active for safety” warning.

    Shouldn’t be a subscription in the first place, but hey, this is just a weird hypothetical.
