I've tested on a later iOS but not 10.2. I'll have a look later today - it's possible I'm missing a polyfill. All you should need to do for it to work is to enter something in the main text input and hit "search&quo

Thank you! I've found myself doing it manually too, which is where the drive for this came from. I think I would use it even if someone else had made it, if that makes sense

The author consistently compares code language style to literature language style, but I don't think it's a helpful comparison at all. Literature operates by an intractably complex interaction between the words written on the page

It's a shame that there isn't a common word in English to distinguish between positive-expected-value gambling and negative-expected-value gambling. They are fundamentally different pursuits.

You could script something like this pretty simply with the DO api, and there might well be programs out there already that operate in a similar way. My own needs are modest, but I have provisioning scripts that create and destroy DO drople

I'm a bit surprised by the replies talking about serving millions of requests a second, or needing ultra-consistent packet latency. Perhaps most of the HN demo is working for companies that operate at that scale. But the OP is talking

I ran some queries and it looks like there are only about 4 weeks a year when asparagus isn't being commercially harvested somewhere in California - the first couple of weeks in December and the last couple of weeks in May (approxima

Distances are being computed from a geopoint representation of each zip code (which is a bit out of date, but which I can update fairly easily) to a set of shape files representing US counties. It's intentionally not 100% accurate beca

Ah yeah, the zip database I'm using is a bit out of date (as some other people have mentioned) and you're seeing this behaviour as it thinks 22003 is in Georgia. I had a hunch people might be more interested in results from their

I haven't, but a few people have mentioned LocalHarvest, so I am definitely going to look into it. Thank you for sharing your experience, it's really interesting to hear from other people interested in this space and I haven'

I would say that the data I have at the moment are reliable in the sense that they are collated from informed, reasonably up to date sources (mainly US government sources at the moment). I would say that they are not very complete and n

Ah, that might explain it - I actually have varietal information in the database, but I'm not using it yet because it adds a ton of complexity and I really wanted to show this to people before spending more time on it. So "peak se

Almost all the data right now is pulled from various USDA publications which I scraped, combined, sanity-checked and cleaned up. It's not perfect, but it's the best I could do as a first-run. I'll have a look at southern New

The database is definitely incomplete - I have a ton of work left to do. There is also the problem that just because a certain produce item is being harvested within x miles doesn't necessarily mean that produce is available at local s

Thanks for the feedback - this is very first version, and there are a lot of improvements to make. I think you're right about the wording, reading it with fresh eyes it is very confusing, and I'll change it ASAP. Right now, all th

Really interesting. The still images don't do the graphics justice, they really come alive in the video. It is sad that it was never released. Hope you find the motivation to release some version of it.
