Bugreport: I’m getting intermittent failures, wherein http://lesswrong.com/reader instantly returns a blank page (no header, no “Please wait while new comments are being loaded”). When this happens, it also forgets my history of read comments.
Thanks for the report. I’ve been thinking about changing the script to load comments directly from lesswrong.com instead of through ibiblio.org, and I’ll move that up in my todo list. If anyone is hacking on the LW code base, my work would be made much easier (and the script would be faster) if there are APIs to download all comments after a given comment ID, and to download comments that match a set of comment IDs.

Attempted trace: http://www.ibiblio.org/weidai/lesswrong_comments2.php returned http error 500. The forgetting consists of the “remove old ids” loop running on an empty list of new comments, thus thinking that everything is old.
