very debatable that the world is a better place after the development of distributed processing engines. Source: I'm a data engineer and almost every application I've seen in production made the world a worse place. The manifesto is extremely naive and it's not a manifesto. A call to action with an ethical goal doesn't make sense without an ethical framework to decide what to implement and what not. Otherwise it's ju…

I appreciate your participation, will consider your notes. Thanks a lot.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks a lot. Sure, more papers will be added in the future.

Maastar - slightly adjacent idea. Research papers sometimes involve data through which the hypothesis is made, getting access to this data can help understand hypothesis better. It can also fuel other ideas for people. Would be great to also have workspace where people can engage in active data-sleuthing through these shared spaces and workbenches.

Thanks for your suggestion. May you give me an example of such kind of papers.

There only appears to be a single research paper looking for an implementation. I click to read, it takes me to google scholar. I click the article, it takes me through to a pay site, where I must pay $15 to read the article...

I've been using the Unpaywall[0] extension, and it's been a godsend. It'll detect if the webpage is about an academic paper, and it'll display a green icon on the side to click on which will take you to a free, legally open distribution channel. [0] https://unpaywall.org

Thanks for sharing, really useful tool.

I think you can make your manifesto page 'more like a manifesto' by starting it with a sentence something like

"Our goal in ResearchCoders is to draw the attention of programmers to research that has not yet been realised and urge those programmers to implement practical systems that realize the ideas of that research".

This is based on one of the existing sentences.

Actually the wikipedia definition [0] of 'manifesto' is fairly loose: "A manifesto is a published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government". By that definition, you have a manifesto.

Thoughts: - The call to action for programmers is unclear, there is only one paper on the site and it's below the fold on my laptop and less obvious than the rest of the stuff. Put a big button on the paper like you have on the Read More. Also move the "Communication" stuff below the main point of the site, eg the table.

- Research Title looks like the start of the footer.

- Reading the premise for honeypot passwords I have no idea what would need to be implemented to show it useful.

- I have no idea of what you're looking for for proof of concept, or is this just a "take this paper and do what you want with it, I thought these papers were interesting."

- It'd be nice to be able to pin or remove articles eventually when you have a lot. Categories and tags as well.

I read the paper and it's very interesting. I always wander how would I know if my DB is compromised and this provides a solution, i don't know and I am not capable to tell if this is a great solution or not but it makes sense.

As a note to the paper for the 2.1. Honeychecker; It's not that efficient to have a second system that stores what the correct password is, it's just a waste of resources. A simple and more robust solution could be to have a checksum from a field, let's say the username, that generate a number from 1 to 5. That way you can tell which password is the correct one. The attacher must have access to the code to know the checksum formula and how that applies to the password list. I guess this is much better than the suggested solution.

That's an interesting idea, can you please share it in "ideas" section in ResearchCoders on the same page of the research.

Thanks a lot for your suggestions. Your notes will be considered.

Yes, it is "take this paper and do what you want with it, I thought these papers were interesting." :-)

In general where does one go to look for these types of papers, a stream of research, is that what journals are for?

You can use Google Scholar for searching if you have specific topic in your mind. Under each paper in the search results you can find two links, they are "Cited by ..." and "Related articles", you can find more papers about the topic by using these two links. The link of Google Scholar is https://scholar.google.com/

SemanticScholar is also good: https://www.semanticscholar.org/
