It doesn't work fine for Korean and Chinese either, we just accept it begrudgingly.

Check out the Noto Sans CJK fonts repo[1], as of now it has five variations: Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Hong Kong. There wouldn't be a need for so many variations if Unicode works perfectly.

But Unicode is already infinitely better than what existed before, so as I said above, we just kind of accept it begrudgingly.

Hong Kong people speak Cantonese, and there is no "Canton" flag. (Hong Kong does have its own flag, but sometimes people want to show only "country-level" flags and well...)


Is there a way to push data into it, rather than have it pull data from data sources? I have some use cases where users want <3s latency from source data updates to the display being refreshed. For reference, I managed to get to ~10s using Google Sheets' API.


Not yet, but we could add that feature. Feel free to contact us at contact[at]rowzero.io so we can learn more about your use case. We could also maybe do some kind of webhook situation? Lots of options.


The XC40 was in the middle of a refresh which might explain the waiting time. Availability should be much better now, and MY24 has some really nice upgrades.


yeah, but it's still based on CMA so the space is not best optimised I don't know how much will the new Polestar 4 cost but it looks more competitive than XC40


The transmission tunnel indeed is an issue, but they do use it as additional space for batteries to make the seating position a bit better for the rear left/right passengers.


Reverse DNS does not give you all the hostnames that can point to a particular IP address though.


Other than brute forcing, I don't think anything does — that's the beauty and the curse of a proper federated system :)


In fact, it might not even give you any names that point to an IP address, since it might be out of sync with the forward system, especially if the records are built by hand.


You don't have to put all 10,000 BTC in a single wallet.


Interesting. Here in Hong Kong, apparently the non-Tesla chargers work so well, the Superchargers often lie empty because most Teslas charge at non-Tesla chargers as they are usually cheaper.


Speak for yourself. I would pay for RiF to add HN support, while I couldn't care less about other clients, including Apollo.


RiF is probably the only reason I used Reddit for as long as I did. Excellent interface, really solid client. I even paid the premium just to show my appreciation.

My hatred for Reddit the platform only grew as time passed, to a point where I mostly dropped the site from my browsing habits a couple of years ago. I hope the recent changes bring an end to Reddit, the world will be better without it.

But my hatred for Reddit does not extend to RiF, much to the opposite. I hope whatever Reddit replacement spawns in the future has a RiF for it.


Understandable, given you’re probably on Android.

I took another look at RIF just in case my memory of it was out of date and the difference in quality between it and Apollo is massive. I’m doubling down on my original comment: Apollo is a truly special app and RIF (and likely others) are very generic clients.


I am an Android user so I don't know Apollo but I too am a huge RIF fan -- it's the only way I consume Reddit. I also agree with GP statement, I wish I could use the RIF app as a HN reader.

What makes Apollo a "truly special app?" in your opinion?


The TL;DR is that it's so good, it increased my time on Reddit by 10x or more versus using the website. I had to delete it because it was such a joy to use, it's all I wanted to spend my free time on.

More specifically, just a few things: 1) lovely UI design with proper adherence to iOS human interface guidelines, 2) useful customization, 3) flawless performance throughout, 4) gesture support which translates into being able to sift through a lot of content and conversations, 5) complex native (performant!) in-app support for many media types hosted on all types of 3rd party sites, 6) and just all around thoughtful and thorough support for the entire Reddit platform and its features.

All of this executed extremely well by just one person. Frankly, an inspiration and should be championed here.


Not to dunk on Apollo since it is excellent on iOS, but Boost on Android has all those things. It also has a tablet UI, moderator support, and a "gallery" masonry view that is a joy to use. Last I checked, Apollo has neither an iPad UI nor a masonry post view.

(I have also deleted Boost many times to control my usage.)


AFAIK, Apollo also has extensive moderator support (I'm not a mod so I can't speak to it but fairly confident it exists) but yeah, no iPad support which really sucks.

I took a look at Boost and it's really nice! Looks extremely similar to Apollo to the point that I think they may have just duplicated the Apollo app on Android and this is not a bad thing at all. I was considering doing the same for HN.


Living in Hong Kong, I'll tell you what's loud: the constant remodelling, both in apartment and office buildings. Try working in an office where someone is trying to drill 50 holes into a concrete wall next door.

In comparison, all other noises can be easily ignored.


Unfortunately this site is not useful for me, as it seems there is no way to select my current car, a VW Golf Mk6 5 door.
