Hi HN. We made Stalemate because we wanted a dashboard which makes it easy to see the relevant pull requests and what needs doing to get them ready to merge. We've been testing Stalemate with a few companies here in the UK. It's i

I'm amazed by how much you've achieved with this project! I thought it was 2 months worth of work until I looked at your blog, but even to have managed this in spare time over a couple of years is amazing. The only thing I can thi

Storytime. Back in 2013, I designed a "robotic" system to take 108 photos of products (from all different angles in a hemisphere) some years ago [1]. My co-founder and I also made a rotating image widget like this one, but that se

Spliting hairs here, but it's not about clicking something, it's about changing what those first 2 letters typed are. Call me a minimalist (or whatever else you'd like), but "might as well" isn't a good enough

I did try "momentum" as a new tab for a while, but I've always found these kinds of things distracting - when you hit ctrl+T I'm not (and I suspect most are not) looking for inspiration, but I'm looking to find some

It looks like things have moved on quickly since the other year when I was more involved in this! This company does some good products, some of which are fairly easy to interface: https://www.gassensing.co.uk/products/

Looking at their materials[1], it's IR based and needs calibration. I'm sure it's output is interesting, but likely not super accurate given their started assumptions for the calibration process. Better sensors may be require

I've worked on environmental sensing iot projects and have seen the cost of co2 sensors. Almost all the cheap ones are VOC sensors which infer a co2 level by assuming the VOC output is from humans (rather than paint for example). Given

I was reading this thinking that security would be mentioned at some point in your response! Presumably a big benefit of smaller codebases is a more realistic possibility of auditing the security?

Yeah, you're completely right. We've designed everything else from the ground up to be for IoT, so that follows for pricing too. We're not quite ready to announce it just yet though.

We'll be open sourcing large parts of it when it's out of private beta

OP here - we made Tavern as an internal tool at overlock, due to problems of running RESTful integration tests with postman in our CI pipelines, as well as needing to rely on a CI. What really kicked this all off was the javascript testing

My local city has just got a slightly different type of bike sharing scheme where there are no stations/docks for the bikes, but you're allowed to leave them anywhere sensible [1]. From other articles including the guardian one li

I've made use of this [1] python script before for running some mail-merging type tasks with inkscape, so that could be a good starting point for anyone looking to do some fancy inkscape automation. Personally I used it to combine gene

I suspect they wanted to isolate it so that people walking past a store wouldn't be counted.

The shocking thing about this is that there must still be enough Faxes being sent to actually justify this new product. Where are they still used at 'scale'?

Surely the best antidote to the 51% attack is to have a large population of nodes so that an attack would have to be prohibitively large? W.r.t. having a set of trusted nodes, that's fine, however does the blockchain add anything in th

Something that confuses me about this blockchain hype. I was under the impression that it's the distributed nature of crypyo-currencies that makes them secure as opposed to the blockchain alone? It doesn't seem like it would be th

The question with 3D printing is around the materials and the build times. Wood is a great low carbon material, whereas printing in concrete is a different matter. A low carbon successor to concrete could change this if its low carbon and n

The plan with wiki-house is that you'll be able to to draw a plan and have software generate the structure for you. A few years ago they were working on a plugin for sketch up to do that - not completely sure what happened to that!

Yeah, I tweeted them about this and they gave a rather vague response about passing it to the product team. I can't see it being too tough to do if it were able to use google docs as a backend for all the new problems you get from havi
