Announcing Whatever Is Fine With Me, The Easiest Friend Polling Site

World, meet Whatever Is Fine With Me. I think you two will really hit it off.

Whatever Is Fine With Me is a easy, quick polling or voting application that you can use to find an answer to a question faster than you can sing the Canadian national anthem.

The site was created after we found it difficult to make ad hoc decisions among our group of friends. Most famous is "where are we going to lunch?" Of course, the most common answer to that is: "whatever is fine with me."

I wanted to create a site that is task focused, fast to use, and with as close to a zero barrier of entry as possible. I am sick of creating accounts on sites, so my first rule was banish account signups. It's still fairly secure, as each page is identified by a very hard to guess URI.

Why use Whatever Is Fine With Me?


  • No login required for you or your friends

  • Extremely fast and easy

  • Totally and completely free



I'd love to hear feedback, please post any comments to the Whatever Is Fine With Me Forums. If enough people begin to use it, I'd be happy to add features.

Some new features I was thinking about or have been suggested:


  • Make "whatever is fine with me" an explicit option when choosing your votes

  • Remember your friend list, so you don't have to type it in multiple times

  • Remember all your past questions



So please give it a shot and I hope it's useful!

(I'm posting this to see if anyone wants to use it. I'm really hoping so, so I can justify spending time on it.)

And while Whatever Is Fine With Me is perfect for asking your friends questions, if you want to ask the world a question, you definitely want to check out Ask 500.

Lists and arrays in Dart

(This is Part 3 in a series about Dart. Check out Part 2, Function in Dart .) Warning : We expect the Dart libraries to undergo potentially sweeping changes before Dart goes to alpha. This document is relevant as of 2011-12-22. Intro Dart is a "batteries included" effort to help app developers build modern web apps. An important "battery" is the bundled core Dart libraries, providing common and rich functionality. Dart is building a solution for large, complex web apps, and providing well tested, integrated, and common libraries is key to helping a web app developer be more productive out of the box. The Collection libraries are a crucial set of APIs that Dart developers get for free. Much more than simple arrays and maps, the Collection library includes standard ways to filter, iterate, inspect, compose, and sort your data. This post specifically looks at List<E> , Dart's ordered, indexable collection of objects. Aside: The Dart project is lucky

Converting Array to List in Scala

Now, this has to have a built-in somewhere in Scala , because it just seems too common. So, how to convert an Array to a List in Scala? Why do I need this? I needed to drop to Java for some functionality, which in this case returns an Array. I wanted to get that Array into a List to practice my functional programming skillz. **Update**: I figured out how to convert Arrays to Lists the Scala way. Turns out it's a piece of cake. val myList = List.fromArray(Array("one", "two", "three")) or val myList = Array("one","two","three").elements.toList The call to elements returns an Iterator , and from there you can convert to a List via toList . Nice. Because my first version wasn't actually tail recursive, what follows is a true tail recursive solution, if I were to implement this by hand. The above, built in mechanism is much better, though. object ArrayUtil { def toList[a](array: Array[a]): List[a] = { d

Null-aware operators in Dart

Image
Three new language features just landed in the latest dev channel build of the Dart ! Collectively known as null-aware operators , these new features will help you reduce the code required to work with potentially null objects. I'm excited for these new abilities, because typing less is always a good thing. Read on to learn more, and be sure to try these new features on Dart Pad . ?? Use ?? when you want to evaluate and return an expression IFF another expression resolves to null. exp ?? otherExp is similar to ((x) => x == null ? otherExp : x)(exp) ??= Use ??= when you want to assign a value to an object IFF that object is null. Otherwise, return the object. obj ??= value is similar to ((x) => x == null ? obj = value : x)(obj) ?. Use ?. when you want to call a method/getter on an object IFF that object is not null (otherwise, return null). obj?.method() is similar to ((x) => x == null ? null : x.method())(obj) Yo
