amarcus commented on Show HN: Simple Weather   simpleweather.ascher.dev/... · Posted by u/ascherj

My two cents:

1) It should attempt to detect location and display that to the user.

2) You can save locations but, these are lost on refresh.

3) No way to specify Celsius.

4) It's not a very simple service. I should be able to bookmark this and click on the link to view the weather. Instead, I need to type a location every time. Right now, I just have a bookmark to "https://www.google.com/search?q=weather".

amarcus commented on Ask HN: Options to Embed page/widget websites other than iframe?    · Posted by u/fakenewsguy

We do it via a one-line javascript snippet.

eg: <script src="//example.com/blah/widget.js?id=xxxxxx"></script>

widget.js is a server side script that creates the widget and echo's it out. Many ways of doing this and the easiest is a bunch of document.write()'s for the html

Cap Tables aren't usually private. I don't recommend advertising it on your website but, certainly, any new investors will need/want to see it before committing.
amarcus commented on Ask HN: Do you call yourself a software engineer or software developer?    · Posted by u/WoodenChair

In my opinion, a Soft Developer is one who mainly just writes code. Whereas, a Soft Engineer is somebody who looks after the project end-to-end (requirements gathering, coming up with a solution and then coding it)
amarcus commented on Show HN: iOS/Android system wide AdBlock and bandwidth saver   mobileadblock.com... · Posted by u/bartoszhernas

Wouldn't this mean setting up a VPN on the phone and having all traffic routed through mobileadblock.com's servers?

In this day and age of NSA, privacy and spying - not sure too many users will be up for that.

amarcus commented on Fine-grained permissions for API keys – any best practices, great examples, etc?    · Posted by u/coopr
amarcus · 10 years ago
I am unsure if any such pre-built solutions exist but, we have created something similar for our app.

A user can setup an unlimited number of different API Keys for their account. For each API Key, we allow them to specify:

- Name/Description: For internal reference

- High Level Permissions:

Admin: (access to make any account updates).

Read-Only: (provide read-only access to the data).

Write Only: (allows for read & write operations).

- Low Level Permissions:

Access to various end-points that can be turned on/off.

- Throttling Options

Allow the user to specify Max Read Requests p/second and max write requests p/second
