    I did a similar set of evals myself utilising the baseline capabilities that Phoenix (elixir) ships with and then skillified them. Regularly the skills were not being loaded and th…

    So I built a thing that looks _very_ similar to this a while back: http://pipie.io/agent-tracker (it doesn't orchestrate) And what's really fascinating isn't that multiple people h…

    Ask HN: Google Meet needs Brady Bunch mode

    I have never heard so many feature requests for something in such a short time. My team is fully remote, happy with Google Meet (or Hangouts) except for the Brady Bunch mode. Peopl…

    This is actually a really weird example of using the Context API. I have no idea why you would want to use it to manage a single switch of state. The far better examples are provid…

    How does this work in the case where the majority of your customers currently pay by direct-debit/cheque? This is certainly the case for us, but we have long been looking for a aff…

    Beer isn't in 'publicly' accessible vending machines any more as far as I can tell. It is however often available in the foyer of a place that normally sells beer (that might be cu…

    My favourite part of this is the "All systems operational" in green at the top. Yet, all systems are clearly not operational.

    Gee I spent far too much time on Astaria in the late 90s. I'm sure there's a few people around here that are in the same boat.

    We've been using this for a while, documentation isn't great, but it seems it's the best library for what it does. We had particular trouble with double tap recognition early on bu…

    There is significant friction from changing to anything that isn't Word (PDF/Latex to a lesser extent) in this space. I wonder what it is going to take for that monopoly to be brok…

    Credit cards have little wire antenna in them. If you basically cut it in down near the chip, the chip still works when inserted into the machine but the NFC doesn't work. I did th…

    In a lot of ways it's tricky, but easy at the same time. We end up trying to build strong concepts that can be mapped onto a few different problems within the event. A lot like an …
