Great work! Some questions: 1. How would you compare Stacker to Retool? 2. Would the data from Stripe/Intercom appear as just another sheet/table? 3. One thing I learned that, despite the promises of no code solution, a non-techni

The Code component seems like a catch all. If it were to support actual AST, surely <Code>const a = 3</Code> Would have looked something like: <Assign> <Lhs constant><Id>a</Id></Lhs&gt

Author here! What can you do with it: 1. String together Unix-like text processing functions into a text processing pipeline. 2. Share said pipeline with friends and co-workers through a transparent link. 3. Since the functions are encoded

Really really cool! I wonder if we can do something similar with programming. Suppose we have a conceptual framework where each module/system is a widget made up of slightly simpler and well-defined widgets. If we can specify what we w

you're right about that, so I think what it could help us with is to provide a sort of guidance when we have a particular end-goal in mind.

This might be a little off-topic, but I wonder if the idea of nano-passes can be applied to other areas. For example, can we predict the future of technology by gradually evolving their capabilities? Or say start from some point in the futu

I had come from a Compilers/computer vision and distributed systems background, and just recently I decided I'd quit my job and bootstrap my own little SaaS business. My web development knowledge had basically been stuck in the er

I understand that the achievement in question was made in a high pressure environment; but if we get room temperature superconductors (at standard atm pressure), does that mean large scale hover cars/boards deployment will be viable as

@ML experts: could a model be trained from ECoG data so that we can better isolate signals from EEG?

I wonder if the state that C++ finds itself now is a result of sub-optimal compromises between different interests in the standards committee. Year long arguments of what ought to be included or how they ought to be done may cause folks to

Look again. The downward trend of Java was arrested and it stayed on a plateau when Android began becoming popular; then come 2015 they both came down together. If we're using Google Trends as a proxy for what happened, then I'd s

This might be a contentious question, but how did it come to this in US (likely not the only country suffering from problems with law enforcers), i.e best course of action would be to not talk to the police? I imagine if I were in say, Japa

OP's probably referring to induced demand [0], or something similar to Braess's paradox [1]. But I see your point though. If people are incentivized to share a car then that might reduce the load. That said, my suspicion is, once

That video reminds me of a comic I sketched out years ago. It's about this rag tag armed group of hackers who specialize in intelligence espionage in the near future. There's a payload specialist, security specialist, data structu

Is this about the rising cost of housing? My understanding is that it has more to do with nimbyism and proposition 13 than just engineering wages pricing out locals. That said, I don't know about the situation in Canada, so maybe someo

Theory of relativity would say that there are many 'nows', which one you're in depends on which frame of reference you're in :) To a photon traveling at c, the birth, growth, and death of the universe happen simultaneous

As the universe approaches heat death, quantum mechanics dictates that particles jump between states randomly, such that passage of time cannot be measured meaningfully.

Or that there really is only one unchanging state, and what you perceive to be the passage of time is really just a very particular configuration of your 'memory' through which you 'remember' a different state, and that

Hm not necessarily so. Some people could struggle to understand a concept even with all the information available, and could really use some tutoring from a professional. That's when you start to notice the difference between just gett

I used to play with roborealm when it was still free; it provides the same sort of high level abstraction to experimenting with computer vision and comes with a big library of filters/kernels.

How would one go about verifying that the debris comes from the missing plane, assuming plane-specific serial number is not found? Any expert care to shed some light on this?
