This seems cool. You're enabling people who can't (and probably shouldn't learn to) code to automate processes. Do you have anything, or ever intend to explore, automated process discovery as in Process Mining?

Well, its hard to give positive reinforcement right at the instant where bad behavior is happening. I think what he meant was something like * You were behaving really well ("like a grown up", which some kids love) when you were u

Just some trivia, and I'm sorry if I get any details wrong; a former colleague (who is now a PhD student at Northwestern, in the US) made a Chrome extension that used publicly available data to transform every mention of a politician o

I... don't know about that. I reckon lots of folks rather read the comments at HN than the piece itself. The journalistic 'style' of journalistic pieces seems 'too fiddly' for some, and even 'infantilized&#x27

I'm not that knowledgeable but I thought SSN aren't public information and that they are not used throughout information systems to identify people because they are 'sensitive information'

This reminds me of the Joel Spolsky's post on why you should never re-write your code from scratch [1]. The reasoning goes most 'ugliness' comes from bug-fixes that people encountered along the way, and by re-writing that &#x

Was this is the US? There are benefits to having a national, public, unique ID # for each person and this is one of them; it reduces the number of 'they had the same name' mistakes to nearly zero

I'm tempted to spend a good while studying Zig just because it says "Zig competes with C instead of depending on it" and folks here are not thrashing it ('Why compete with C at all?' would be my guess of general r

At least Uber stars are about something that happened , not something hypothetical. This point: As you can see, Dan’s 9 NPS data points vary, from 5 up to 10. What this data doesn’t tell us is whether the respondent ever did wha

By your nickname I get you actually work with this, so sorry to derail the conversation but what is the demand for engineers-turned-lawyers as the original post describes?

We're at an the point where we shouldn't ever discuss that without explicitly adding "... minimizing the environmental damage and consumption of natural resources". "I'll provide X" needs to be immediately

Maybe that's enough of a use case for an established following that supports a long-term 'market' for cryptocoins. Maybe the ideal (or something closer to ideal) would be that people in too-strong States got to use it; but th

I can't phrase this question very well, but from your experience, what are the possibilities with Virtual Reality in that? As in, could we ever reach a state of virtual-presence rich enough that it does the trick and is not the Matr

Huh, kinda harsh there on your judgement of the way of life of 300+ million people, most of whom don't actively seek it or have any reasonable say in it Still, giving you the benefit of interpreting your point as friendly as I can, I c

Is it 'popping' or has it popped ? The other example bubbles don't all drop to zero. Notably that 'gold' bubble (that I admit I've never heard of). I'll say it has popped with certainty only when it'

I'm a long-time Civ player, and I've recently tried the Civ IV Colonization. One match later I installed the 'Religion and Revolution' mod and I'm amazed at how deep a community-made mod takes an already deep game

This is true. It always feels weird answering these kinds of questions living outside of the US. You can easily have a salary that is several times the average of your country (I'm talking like 20x) and still make about half of what yo

I really thought that this was one of the rare things virtually everyone agreed upon - trying to be productive all the time is counterproductive. I've always known some "real-life min-maxers" but even those are more about &#x

The true premise of capitalism is that a person can own the rights to the exploration of natural resources, most commonly land. Everything else is compounded abstraction. I used to think it was more 'artificial' than it really i

I'm aware this is a stupid reason, but I love that really complex behavior can be programmed in these seemingly simple interfaces because it tricks people that are otherwise uninterested or unaware of what programming is into trying it
