LjLryouma, darsie: i think some rss feeds cheat horrendously. not only is the "time posted" for the latest entry constantly changing, which would be okay because i also match the text and title and if it's the same i skip it, but they are probably shuffling those times around, and i only match the title and text to the *latest previous one*. CDC appears to be shuffling them around. i guess... i will need to keep a gigantic dictionary of what's EVER been 00:22
LjLposted and match against it -.-00:22
LjLnot CDC, uh, in the log it looked like it was CDC00:23

JigsyNote: My method is harder to apply at night.23:53
Jigsy:D23:53
JigsyThough if you can hear rain, you can tell it's shit.23:53
tinwhiskershowever, the main problem with weatehr forecasts is people's expectations. If you actually look at the weather patterns being forecast instead of absolute predictions for a specific region they're pretty good.23:54
JigsyI can't never understand the British complaining about the rain, though.23:55
JigsyIf you build your country in the middle of an ocean, what do you expect?23:55
tinwhiskersknowing that there is front moving up the country means there's a risk of rain, but the model might predict a gap in the front for one particularly area and if you just look at that forecast you'll think it's going to be fine, whereas if you look at the general pattern you'll see there's a good chance of rain and plan accordingly. These watered down, precise location, absolute forecasts that people want are junk.23:56
tinwhiskerssometimes the models are astonishingly wrong too though :-)23:57
tinwhiskersyou can get a fair idea of how good a forecast is by comparing it to the other models, kind of like an internalised ensemble model (actual ensemble models tend to be worse still)23:59
