How easy is it to examine the underlying abstractions behind connecting one pipe from one icon to another? Depends on the runtime you're talking to. For example MicroFlo on an Arduino behaves quite differently from NoFlo on Node.js I

We built on Polymer, so that imposes quite strict browser requirements. See http://flowhub.io/documentation/flowhub-faq/#browser-require... However, if you're having one of the supported browsers and still

This is still beta, so we're mostly trying to reach people who already are doing flow-based or other dataflow programming. But agreed that we could probably explain things better! Does the description of the concept at http:/&#x2

Interesting idea, even if it means having to jump through a bit more hoops than would be ideal. I could maybe add that to http://flowhub.io/documentation/flowhub-faq/ Edit: here we go http://flowhub.io&

Yeah, it is a shame. I'm getting some checkerboarding there too as my Chromebook Pixel can't always keep up with rendering the surfaces when scrolling quickly. Funnily enough my (a lot slower) Nexus 7 scrolls much better. That is

Not to my understanding. You either get access to all public repos, or all public/private repos. If somebody knows a way to make more limited permission requests, please let me know! I'd be more than happy to make that more granul

Driving license isn't a valid ID at least in most European countries. And residential address would probably need some proof, like those stupid utility bill scans some services require you to send. Passport obviously works, but doesn&#

Here is one example of a project where we used FBP on Node.js, browser, and microcontrollers. The components in the graph you can see there are quite high-level: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/ingress-table/

Yep, in NoFlo you write components in JavaScript, though you can also use other diagrams as "subgraph" components. In other environments compatible with the FBP protocol ( http://noflojs.org/documentation/proto

Yeah, except that in our system the graphs are still executable: http://noflojs.org/

Because generally you'll want to deal with a bit higher-level structures using the visual paradigm. So, a Fibonacci generator should be just a box, not a whole graph. Visual programming can help keeping track of data flows within compl

Being able to interact with the government via web was indeed the main reason why electronic IDs were initially created. But because they require additional hardware we've ended up using OTP auth provided by banks (TUPAS) instead.

Finland doesn't have a mandatory ID card either, but you've been able to get an electronic ID like the one described for quite a while if you want one. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=7626555

In this case the power is "we can prove that you're a citizen of country X". Unless ID cards come coupled with mandatory carrying of them, I don't see an issue here. As long as countries provide services (like, say healt

Think of TUPAS like OAuth/FB Connect as envisioned by banks . Typically TUPAS uses a printed card of single-use passwords. Here in Germany you instead get an SMS with a single-use password every time you have to authenticate (for exam

What is the problem with the idea of an ID card? There are situations where you need to prove your identity, and a government-supplied card can be useful in those cases. The alternative is using a driver's license or a passport, both o

We had these electronic identity cards in Finland for quite a while, but I think they've been considered a failure: It was initially planned as a general network authentication device for both public and private sector strong authenti

That is actually pretty close to how we define components in the FBP protocol. You'll just want to add a bit more information about the inputs, and a possible set of outputs too (for example, a temperature reading?) http://n
