I can see this being very useful for the managers, if the engineers reliably add the labels. In your experience, how do you overcome the problem of "laziness" where the engineers skip over the labeling step?
Great question :) There are several answers to it.
1. We integrate with the GitHub Checks API and surface missing labels as a failure (similar to failed tests), which acts as a reminder to add the labels. GitLab doesn't have an equivalent to our knowledge, but we have a Docker image and a snippet of yml you can include as a build stage for a similar result.
2. We had customers ask for a JIRA integration which we are about to ship that can help with that. It creates a custom field on your JIRA instance which gets populated with your configured intents, just like GitHub labels. GitHub pull requests which reference a JIRA issue will automatically inherit its labels, meaning that if the intent was expressed at planning time, then there's no additional work to do for these.
3. When discussing with organizations who request that every pull request be linked to a ticket for the sake of reporting, it's a no brainer: would you rather file a ticket for every commit or add a label?
4. Remaining untagged pull requests can be examined and labeled directly from the product itself (making it easy to erase the pesky leftovers).
Finally, the product is indeed targeted at managers at this time, but we have plans to make it more directly useful for the engineers too.
I'm interested in the flip side of this. How, as a consumer, can I discover cool new products from startups that Amazon thinks are noteworthy? I wish the also announced an section of the website like amazon.com/launchpadproducts where I could see a list of qualified products.
They've been popping on the Amazon home page for me for about a year now, and usually one of the graphics will link to a larger list of launchpad products. I like to check it out every now and then see if there is anything interesting (it's how I discovered that Amazon started carrying Soylent products). This link seems to work to cut right to the listings: https://www.amazon.com/b/ref=br_imp?node=12034488011&pf_rd_i...
EDIT: Actually, there's a link right at the top of the OP's page titled "Shop the Store"
Is it practical and desirable to have it both ways? Be published in a journal but also publish it on your own blog for free access?
So if you publish a paper titled "XYZ" in a journal and also put it on your blog, making sure your blog is visible to search engines - anyone searching for the paper's title "XYZ" will find it for free on your blog?
You're frequently not allowed to self-publish your manuscripts for free if they're submitted to a journal. The publishing agreement you sign precludes it
Many people do that. Google Scholar, among others, can help find them better than a title search on a general purpose web search engine. For the most part, your proposal represents the status quo.
Note that my comment concerned the proposal "why not go to your peers directly instead of a proxy like these publications". Your proposal replaces "instead" with "in addition to".
I'd suggest having your landing page explain a few common scenarios of where using ScholarCheck would be helpful. I'm not clear on why someone would want to use this. (or who the target audience is)
Looks like we'd have to install it and play it to know how the gameplay works. Is it based on a well-known puzzle that's already described online somewhere?
Yeah, for some reason the link doesn't show up when searching the page. You can find it at the bottom of the page, under the header "Connect". It's between the links for "Become a Reseller" and "Privacy Policy"
It demos well, but then I tried a simple test - a photograph of some text (http://imgur.com/TCnGlZG), Ocrad.js utterly failed at it, almost all letters were incorrect.
