It's all in the delivery


This is certainly true. Typing that I heard his voice in my head, and laughed. I'm sure someone who's never heard Steven Wright has a much more limited response.


There is https://floorplanner.com They are used in a variety of situations and have been doing this for over 15 years. Floorplanner is used in high end shops to show arrangements of furniture, on website to showcase apartments etc. that are for sale and a lot of different use cases.

What is the use case of Roometron that you see it does best?


I have not seen any of nice looking 3D apartment viewer yet, most of the companies offer users to draw apartments yourself and furnish it, thats mostly not considered as a user friendly experience and then they ask to render your work into an image, there are no real 3D to play with.


I believe this would also fit the bill: https://planner5d.com/


It doesn't need a new use case to be useful.

It needs to be nicer/easier/faster. Which it does.

Thats enough not to use floorplanner.


floorplanner.com does not appear to support VR (as far as I can make out)


Because this, and more very strange rules it is very hard for ticketing systems to get into the Italian market. Some examples:

- not allowed to change to time or name of the event after the 1st ticket is sold

- only allowed section names in halls from a know list

- free tickets on events... can only do this under strange conditions

- smart card application, for encryption, must run on a physical server in Italy. You should not be able to log into the ticketing box office if that smart card application is not running.


You know many details about Italian ticketing systems, are you working in the industry?


Totally agree. And how does it work when you measure a thing and it is 1,35 inch do you in the US convert it to fractions? And how then do you find this fraction?


A ruler sold in the US (and Britain, on the reverse/bottom) has inch markings with fractions.

│.╷.|.╷.│.╷.|.╷.│.╷.|.╷.│.╷.|.╷.│

0⅛¼⅜½⅝¾⅞1

So the measurement, when taken, is 1⅜".

I've seen inch rulers with different fractions, e.g. one end might be eights, the other sixteenths, turn it over and there are tenths.

(I don't know how this works with digital measuring devices — I grew up in Britain so have never used inches professionally. Only in Warhammer and TV screens.)


With digital devices I assume there is a mode switch like in the digital scales I have at home in the US. I actually work in grams for things like bread making which seems easier than a combination of pounds and ounces.


> Fun fact: In the Netherlands you have to make sure you 'checkin' to the right transportation company

In Italy there are competing fast trains on the same track, all with a red color. With people on the station selling tickets to only one of them. ... So I asked them for the first train from Vincenza to Milan at 13:30... That is 14:44...I bought the 14:44 ticket from "Italo". Then found out there was a "Trenitalia" at 14:04! ... Sorry mister.. this was OUR first train..not THE first train.


In the Netherlands there is also this site https://treinposities.nl/ with positions, train history and much more


The icons being tiny pictures of the actual trains is cute, but makes the map quite confusing to look at!

Edit: I just noticed that the marker style changes if I choose something other than "Equipment" from the map style dropdown, selecting "driving/stationary" certainly makes it a lot more readable.


In Chrome you can search bookmarks too. Start typing @bookmarks and it autocompletes search on your bookmarks. Same with @tabs to search through open tabs.


Edge has helpfully copied Firefox's "awesome bar" in doing bookmark search and history search with * and ^, respectively.

Sadly Edge doesn't do tags, I initiate them by appending keywords to the bookmark name.

(I have to use Edge at work.)


Love this very cool explanation. Sort of guided puzzles solving tour.


Soft-landing.... hope so.
