This is amazing! I have always been baffled by the ever more convoluted parking signs. This is especially useful since very often you have to figure out if you can park while driving by, so you don't have much time to analyse the signs.


I have been using WAMP for a while now. It is a fairly established standard for publish/subscribe/rpc with multiple implementations and examples.


Yep, I have the update sitting on my Moto X for a week or so. Was tempting,.. good thing I didn't go for it.


Been on 5.0 for Moto X (2014) for a few weeks now without issue. These bug reports appear to be for Nexus 4/5.


This is why I never upgrade my phone to the first couple updates pushed to the device.


First couple of updates relative to what exactly?

Because with Android's update process you cannot opt to push anything but the latest update which is always an unproven by its nature.

It isn't like Windows where you can opt out of the latest service pack for a while and wait to see if it is stable. With Android you either take the latest update or you don't.


You can install updates via downloading the updating and flashing. This isn't too difficult (basically what you have to do if you run a ROM). It's often how people opt-in to updates that are rolling OTA before their device wins the OTA lottery.


He probably just prefers to wait for versions X.X.3 instead of X.X.0, X.X.1 and X.X.2 :)


Is there a more advanced (online) version? Something similar to RoboWar but w/o having to install Visual Basic?


Do you know Core Wars? It's doesn't count as the same game, but shoots into a similar vein.


Click 'Go' w/o typing a keyword and you get an application error :(


It is a great success story but it is also a story of someone being in the right place at the right time. Instapaper was in the app store the very next day after store went alive. Seems like a typical story described in Malcolm Gladwell's book Outliers:

My productivity for today went downhill! :)

Love the trick with how this can be done via differentiating the equation:

1 + r + r^2 + ... = 1/(1-r)


I think Groupon is already doing something like this. Check out their "Now Deals"
