Comparing self selected data on lying to a malicious political count of lies, "misleading" statements, and flip flops? The basis for this article is weak. It's a shit post masquerading as data science.

Spiceworks has a network management app that runs on a rails server on your network and uses sqlite to store everything and run the multi-tenant help desk. I was always surprised how well it worked.

Yeah so instead of killing a process that is hanging your entire system you just hard reboot? Yes, it was a mistake, but only in the context of more stability or another solution to bad user experiences (which is the origin of all Ctrl Alt

Good thing too. Because Pebble owners know what time it is when they wake up in the middle of the night. Apple customers have to pick up their phone or ask alexa, I mean homepod.

Ultimately you just don't like their UI, and want to experiment with making it better. Just do that.

I installed it. Its cool. However, it competes with first class features that are provided by the platform you are running on. Any successful voice platform will also have these features you will need to compete against. Other commenters ar

Got it. So really, its a piece of what Evi did, but you are making that a service. It will be interesting to see how other people apply this without competing with Google, Amazon, or Apple directly.

How is this like, or better than Evi, which has origins in 2007 and is now part of Alexa according to wikipedia? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evi_(software)

What's the point of this? In light of the recent car-ramming? Imagine what would happen if engineers did this in Europe for every company that supported Muslim immigration - and those folks have run over FAR more people than this one g

Left-brain mode after coding all day is certainly a thing. I thought it would go away once I got into management, but the truth is I solve those problems with the same analysis, so even though I'm problem solving people, I'm still

Better than validating it with people you know - who are too homogenous to your own background to be able to give you an accurate picture (assuming your product is for general consumers).

I'd argue that more than half pure SPAs do not need to be SPAs, and can be written effectively in Rails with someone who knows it well, in less time, with less bugs, and more test coverage.
