How about things like opening a file, where there could be a variety of reasons it could fail?

I mean like

  try
    if not x() then error end
    if not y() then error end
  else
    // which error happened?
  end

Since there are no exceptions, in a try-else how can you tell what the error was?

How can it direct you to the nearest Chipotle if it doesn't know where you are? It must know who you are at least at the time of the query

Oh there it is http://doyouneedablockchain.com/

Honestly expected a page that just said "No"

Yes.

In my opinion casinos take advantage of a loophole in human psychology to take money from people who can't afford it, so having anything to do with that is unethical.

So basically diceliving

About a year ago WeatherSpark got rid of their very useful dashboard - I particularly liked being able to see a combination of temperature and rain per hour for the next week.

There didn't seem to be an alternative (and there was a Reddit discussion full of people with the same problem) so I started making one.

It took me a year, but it's finally up and has its own domain and everything.

It uses the weather report API from Dark Sky, Google's chart API, free icons from Freepik and the free tier of Google App Engine. About the only thing I'm paying for is the domain name.

Because I'm using the Google chart API I'm limited in how much I can customize how it looks, but it's not too different from what I wanted.

If it sucks please let me know why :)

Accurate book recommendations - not what's popular, not something in the same genre as I've read, not by the same author I've read but something I'd actually want to read.

I think the reason this hasn't been done is that (like movies and music) books are so complex that it's hard to tell what someone liked about one book or disliked about another book, so it's hard to know what other books would have that same feature.

Which is why I think ML would be perfect for this - it's good at things like extracting common features, you just has to create one that can read and comprehend novels :)

People need to start saying what their product does on their website

I was disappointed that the landing page wasn't personalized as a demonstration

I don't think I've ever actually run into one of these

I'm not sure you can do without images

What is Cryptonomicon's tombstone? I haven't read the book

Is it just me or is 1s latency terrible?

If there are no ads and no corporate sponsorships then how do they make money?

What's their business model?

ah, the Chrome Data Saver proxy, thanks

tl;dr

It says my browser doesn't support HTTP/2 even though the caniuse.com link says Chrome does - not sure what's going on

For me it was far too much effort to rate movies - I'll give a thumbs up, I'll rate out of five, but having to analyze exactly what I thought about a bunch of aspects of a lot of movies is just depressing and I quit.

Why would it not be more profitable for them to just mine the bitcoins for themselves?

How is this not a MITM attack?

Arg someone make a Windows version of this ASAP

How is this different from Google Docs?

Looks like you spilled your Alphabetti Spaghetti on your blog post there

I don't like having a narrow strip of content with acres of whitespace on either side.

Also the font for the article title is HUGE and why is it not a link to the article?

I don't like that the way it shows that an article is read is by making the "Mark as read" button pressed in.

You don't have any social sharing stuff - people are going to want that.

I think you should have keyboard shortcuts for like/dislike so people can zoom through their feeds going nope-nope-yep.

There's no unread count.

There's no indication of how old an article is.

Also I don't know if it was trying to download every article from every one of my feeds or something but it maxed out my internet connection for a couple of minutes.

As far as marketing copy goes, I found "Free during beta No credit card required or commitment." scary. Who would pay for a beta? It feels like you're thinking about money before I've even had the opportunity to see if your product is any good. There are a lot of feed readers out there right now and a lot of them are free or cheap, so it's got to be GOOD for me to consider cracking the piggy bank.
