Developer here, ask me anything (wondered why the traffic exploded today until I opened HN).

  How come you built this cool thing, read hacker news, but didn't submit?
  • pidtuner 5y ago
    I did, 3 or 4 times, but was ignored until somebody else did. I don't know how the HN algorithms work.

      HN readers vote. Sometimes wisely and sometimes less so :)

        And it depends on the time of day and day of week.

  Can you comment at all about the tuning algorithm you use? Do you monetize this? Currently work on a process control package (for the next few days, anyway) and am interested in your approach.

    The tuning algo is the easiest part, the tool uses this one: https://folk.ntnu.no/skoge/publications/2001/tuningpaper_reno/tuningpaper_06nov01.pdf https://folk.ntnu.no/skoge/publications/2001/tuningpaper_ren... The difficult part is the identification algorithm, that is the challenging part, to accept all sorts of user data for all sorts of processes. There is no monetization, users can be patreons, by a mug, a shirt or simply help by sharing the site. I miantain it on my free time.
