This is an ad, presumably for the startup where the OP works. Kudos on having a startup but this should be deleted and reposted as an intro from the founder with an explanation of some technical reason the product is differentiated or would

Occam's Razor wins here. We have a history of testing and deploying military tech long before it's revealed to the public. I'll never forget when my father and I happened to be watching TV when the Stealth bombers were first

After about the second one, you will want to just copy and paste your first ine and mod it -- not describe it all again from the beginning. The density of text simply cannot be equalled by speech. Try showing someone one of Edward Tufte&

Somewhat frighteningly, all money you have in the bank belongs entirely to the bank and not to you. The most they owe you is a promise to pay, but by making a deposit you give them ownership of the money. So, if money you deposit isn&#x27

Thank you for that! Earlier versions of our home page did have OSS at the top of the page, very first thing. We found that it didn't convert as well as leading with some other things. We do like to harp on it and we see it as a huge be

That would be fantastic! Imagine if it could catch common errors before you make them. So many things in loops and tests that we mess up all the time. My favorite is to confuse iterating through an array vs an object in JS. I'd love

The reality of code is that stuff breaks when connected to other stuff, as it eventually must be for real work to happen. There's no getting around that. Since that's where the work of programming is, debugging connected applicati

I don't believe that non trivial apps can be built with conversational programming and we've had plain English programming since COBOL, so no to that either. The "mind blowing" example of auto generating a "layout&q

This is good stuff. As a search engine, it could very well be useful. As another poster pointed out, if some context or explanation were provided along with the source suggestions, its utility as a reference would really grow. I totally agr

I don't think they work out past trivial applications. Any non trivial app requires an understanding of a much larger part of the codebase than a tool like Copilot is looking at at any one time. Copilot does not understand the code in

I've been in the business a long time and I just don't believe in generalized AI at all. Writing code requires general (not artificial) intelligence. All of these "code helping" tools break down quickly because they may

Awesome summary and thanks for trying it for the rest of us! Copilot sounded terrible in the press release. The idea that a computer is going to pick the right code for you (from comments, no less) is really just completely nuts. The belief

Our software is all open source. For Blue Oak stuff, you can download our source on GitHub. For AGPL-modified products, we provide the source to customers on request, per the AGPL license.

It's a joke, of course. But there were a lot of "personality test" kind of things that were clearly meant for employer screenings. Hence, *So you're a Sociopath..."

My high school had one they left abandoned in an unused science classroom. Yours truly found many excuses for hanging out in there. When they found out I was actually using it, they left me alone. This one was standalone, so a later model.

This is awesome and a must read for everyone in our industry. Free and open source is a fantastic tool for making money. It should absolutely be viewed and used that way. Does it work? Yes. Google sells free software (Android). Red Hat sell

Wiki.js is currently available under AGPL and that is one of the ways code that uses it can be compliant. It is not our intent to mislead. It is certainly true that other open source companies like Red Hat provide source code for their lice

Thank you for that suggestion! Let me investigate adding the ability to change that. I may be able to come up with a workaround for you that can be added to the CSS (one great thing about Miki is that it's hackable like that). If I can

Thank you for that. We do want it to be clear. It's one click from the home page: https://miki.mimix.io/en/public/compare Many customers are looking for something that solves a problem, rather than a specific

We've been dogfooding with several Mikis of our own for two years now and PostgresSQL has been rock solid. It simply hasn't required any maintenance. With our desktop product, Postgres is built-in and nearly invisible. With the ho

Awesome comment. Thank you. Freemium is coming soon. Test Drive is the technological proof that we can do it and not shoot ourselves in the foot on costs. So, please Test Drive and let me know how it goes! I'll definitely post here whe

We use a combination of Codecks[0] which is like Trello but with more features for software dev. It imports Trello, too. Their focus is game developers but we've been using it for our business software dev... For heavier documentation

I totally agree on documentation and navigation. I wrote a lot about that in the Miki doc itself! On the nav, there simply isn't room on a mobile device for a full menu down the side, so Wiki.js (on which Miki is built) draws a hambu

Great question! Underneath, we built on Wiki.js. We added all the management features which we call MCenter, like changing the contents of a live instance remotely and spinning up instances on demand. Miki is our MVP to deploy our MSL[0] te

Ouch! We had that bug in early testing and thought it was fixed. Hit it once more from the home page if you would and we'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know.
