#312I created jogly.io -- it has about 80 users, powers about 4 startups that I know of and yet, it's so simple. Easily submit HTML forms or JSON calls at it and it chucks the formatted data to an email or Slack channel.
Nice simple idea... woulda worked on most of the use cases I’ve had to build that for.

Farting is the least annoying of bodily sounds that happen in the bathroom.
Such as? I honestly want to know, because I've never experienced any sounds from others that were particularly annoying.
Someone trying to force out the contents of their bowels out? The sound of said contents making contact with the water in the bowl? Etc.

As a GUI framework, my first feedback is that there is no screenshots available anywhere to be found.
In the "Examples" section of README, you can find links to examples with screenshots.
IMO, all of these (from all the subdirs) should be in the top level README: https://github.com/yue/yue-sample-apps/blob/master/auto_heig...
You're asking people to do a lot of clicking to get an idea of what's available.

#315I have a friend who has a car garage. He needed an easy way to document activity and to print this to his customers. All applications available were hard to work with(old, windows installers, expensive). I made him a web application: https://www.la-moldo.ro . After 3 years with no advertising other than a facebook page, app has almost 1000 users and users calling to thank me for this. Some even ask to pay but i have…

#316https://github.com/akavel/dali was one (a fully hand-written non-Java, non-JVM assembler for Android .apk files); I managed to write a rudimentary flappy-bird-like prototype in it and did a presentation about the project: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wr9X5NCwPlI&list=PLxLdEZg8DR... but it's on a shelf now, didn't get much attention, and I don't feel bad about that. Had some roadblocks, but managed to overcome them, and I'm honestly surprised how the core effort was basically easy to implement and how the formats were open and relatively simple. (The main real issues I had were that debugging via adb logs was tiresome when something was not working.) What was funny about this project was that I started it with basically a thought of: "there will be probably some annoying roadblock at some point that will make it unviable to continue; I accept that and will be ok with stopping once I stumble upon it; but I don't see one clearly from the start [I did some quick initial research how the formats & the bytecode look and they seemed rather simple], and I'm really curious how far I can get if I decide to not think about this possible roadblock". Turns out I was able to get all the way to the end :D

#317Vertical indoor farm to reach the highest throughout possible per cubic meter are, using only non-GMO plants by discovering the right phenomics- https://hexafarms.com Vertical indoor farms are getting a lot of attention in the recent times, but the issue is the lack of plant expertise. Even if you were to go through all the literature, you would never find a holistic study that takes into account all the optimal fact…
I've worked on this in the past too (not as rigorous as it sounds you are). My main problem: how do we define our optimum function, and how do we quantify the variables going into it? How do you do it? I assume you're not sitting there and tasting, comparing and scoring 25 salad samples every 3 days...

#318A book for setting up data engineering infrastructure on GCP: https://github.com/Nunie123/data_engineering_on_gcp_book It's almost done, and I do plan to spend a little effort promoting it when it's complete, but it's been a great focus for me even if no one ever reads it. I use a fair bit of infrastructure at my job that was set up by others. It was nice to go through the practice of setting it up myself. I learned…
The content is awesome! Have you considered converting it into something more accessible, like an mkdocs style?
I can recommend mkdocs-material. I'm doing blockchain video courses and I am using it for the study-materials - it's all markdown. And reception has been great.

#319Applying CV to detect sensitive data in images, redacting on device https://gorp.app/ The extent to which healthcare providers have to go to send production screenshots of their apps paired with my itch to apply CV, done at a YC hackathon a while back
it looks like it redacts all the text?

It was!!! Personally, I have no aversion towards GMO. But in the end, it's the customers. It's already so hard to convince that food grown in clean and sterilized nutrient medium is far better than the romantic soil everyone is clinging to; GMO would take way more convincing. However, there are tastes that are indeed only found in the 'old' seeds, so there is do see the aversion non-GMO from customer side. In terms o…
> It's already so hard to convince that food grown in clean and sterilized nutrient medium is far better than the romantic soil everyone is clinging to; You are delusional if you belive this. You actually think that putting some vitamins, minerals etc.. in your hydropnic system is enough to immitate the insanely complex environement of real soil?

Wow. I have never seen someone project this amount of anger onto a random person on the internet. Maybe take a day off before your head explodes.
