Hi! Looks really good, but could you explain a bit more what exactly you're doing here?


i load the images and movie data from TMDB, when you load a movie or show, it looks for the movie online and then picks the best available source it finds then it also looks for subtitle and if those fail it has some fallbacks too


Straight Story is such a pleasure to watch


Lake Michigan is famously terribly cold to swim in. However this year I’ve found it mostly comfortable, almost as comfortable as a swimming pool. Looking online, it’s above 70 degrees! https://apps.glerl.noaa.gov/marobs/php/data.php?sta=0

Up in Door County the lake would freeze enough to ski on, but nowadays, well good luck with that.


I see duckduckgo provides an easy iseven() service as well


It’s like parroting the king in the royal courtroom but for the 21st century. Look what happened to Spain as a warning, next thing anyone knew, one day their whole country woke up talking with a lisp.


The Castillian lisp is only popular in some regions of Spain, and did not originate from people mimicking a king.

It's still a better lisp than CL though.

So can someone explain how this is different/superior to Raptor RAG? I don't have the current concentration to figure it out for myself...


I noticed your “jump to” function is 1 indexed >:(


It's not an index! It's a checkbox number.


Let’s say they do alter the price based upon demand (which it sounds like they won’t do at a granular scale like the other commentators are suggesting). It will punish customers who come later, but reward early customers who buy in bulk. Imagine scalping ice cream in a parking lot on a hot day! But seriously, i would like to see non linear scaling of prices for people who buy a lot at once, for scarce items. Everybody gets a little seems like a more moral way to handle scarcity, but Walmarts new pricing system won’t handle this. Oh well. Overall though still a fun development.


Interesting take! I like how the app embellishes the real world rather than replacing it. What’s more interesting is that old me would like this app way more than young me.

When young me had wanted to date and was lonely enough to use an app, just seeing an attractive person in real life could be stressful and therefore awkward if it felt like a high stakes, rare opportunity…something this app would make worse.

However, to older me who doesn’t care anymore but would want to meet an interesting somebody, no stress, this app could make a great ice breaker. A neet niche you’ve found!

How do you deal with partial matches of interests?


You are correct. “Karl Fundkvist, a design engineer at Goodyear who specializes in acoustics.

At low speeds, the engine and exhaust system are the primary sources of noise, but at about 35 mph tire noise comes into play. At freeway speeds, the tires account for about 60% of the noise a typical car makes, Fundkvist said.”

They're not, you're not. As my comment (nor the sentence in question) was obviously not referring to the noise heard by others, but rather by people _in_ the car.
