Maybe we would all do well by closing our terminals, taking a break, and going outside to see what the weather is really like.
I apologize to the HN Gods for suggesting that you go outside.

#32A few years ago, you'd get notice by taking an old text-based service and wrapping it up in a web frontend. Now, the cool kids are taking web-based services and wrapping them up in text-based frontends.
Next thing someone will have the bright idea of transmitting data as sounds over VOIP services, and we can start setting up BBSes on skype...

Get me a Haskell shell as usable as bash, and I'm down!
I built a shell in Haskell for a class project this semester. At some point I'll get around to releasing it on Github. It doesn't do much aside from backgrounding tasks, piping, and supporting environment variables (both in a config file and dynamically through a built in export command). But it was fun to build!
Nice! In this case it's less a question of implementation language (though Haskell would likely be the best fit) and more what it exposes to the user.

#34You just got me to finally install and try out Go! Thanks! Also great app!

Unfortunately, as far as I know, the NOAA doesn't provide forecasts outside of the US and US territories.
It might... The wikipedia article for http://openweathermap.org/ (a commercial service) seems to point out they are using NOAA datas.

#37I live on the command line, so I really dig this sort of thing. And this one in particular looks very nice. I'm a fan! If you're open to bug reports/feature requests: * The image for clear weather is a bright sun, which is a little odd to see in the 'Night' column * Many city names are duplicates. How do I know I've got the right one?
So many options for a clear sky moon!

I would totally use something that allowed me to use Haskell like I use bash. Turtle allows me to do some of it. I'm thinking more along the lines of this project that never took off though:

edit: Need to re-evaluate using Hell[1] for these purposes... maybe Hell + Turtle?
