Can this work to give end-users/customers the ability to create their own reports/charts, respecting data access visibility etc? I am in need of a "dashboarding" feature in our SaaS, but it seems there's a gap betwe

I studied classical guitar for a few years, and let me tell you, scales on the guitar do not involve just moving a finger or a barre or a capo: look up the Segovia scales, that’s what I was learning and it’s physically demanding…

Never heard of this before, but I have fond memories of my grandmother sipping Greek coffee with a piece of Cretan gruyere.

In Clojure-land, we are also using HoneySQL [1] which has similar characteristics. You are still working within SQL semantics so it's a bit more complicated, but we are doing great complicated things with just maps, no API necessary. [

In Greek boating terms, we use just plain left and right. At sailing school we were taught that left means always the left side of the ship as it travels forward, and similarly the right. We do use different words for the direction of the s

Interesting, in the CLJS space we recently got two new libraries in this space: https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint Which is a thin layer on top of JS https://github.com/squint-cljs/cherry Which

Obligatory shout out to Babashka [0] which is interpreted Clojure. You just download a simple binary and you can get going. Widely used for quick-running scripts, with a lot of batteries included. [0]: https://babashka.org/

HoneySQL allows you to write SQL via data structures so you can compose that. Gives you a lot of power.

In a browser context, the built-in DOMParser (perhaps wrapped in dompurify) is the way to do this. No need to look elsewhere.

I haven’t seen a mention so far, but 30 bar pressure isn’t that big. Scuba diving uses helium (wellC helium and oxygen) at up to 250 bar (in small cylinders, 10-12liters) with no issue whatsoever. The cylinders aren’t even that big or heavy

Yes, the point is to keep the airways open, but that’s hard to demonstrate hence the suggestion to “make a stream of small bubbles as you ascend”

For the people who might be tempted to skip scuba and just hold their breath: beware of the so-called free diving blackout, which occurs at the surface AFTER the dive, and is usually lethal if you don’t have surface support. If you like the

I’m curious - here in Southern Europe we have been using pressure cookers for ages. They’re meant to be used on the stovetop (usually electric). The newer models (like in the last 20 years) are also quiet (no revolving noise maker). They al

Well sure, if we were building something towards general audience I’d say yes, let’s bias our UI towards editorial rules that can be enforced, since incentives align. We’re building enterprise-internal software. There’s ton of jargon that i

Supposedly there’s a classical version of Apple Music in the works, which should fix this.

The truncated text is a huge peeve of mine with designers. I get that it’s hard to design a nice grid if you have to account for text that wrapped etc, but not everyone is called Tom Smith, and not all titles are 20 characters long. A desig

A nitpick: Your code will not run faster in GraalVM vs the JVM, it will start faster. If its small scripts where the startup time dominates, then of course it goes faster. For anything long-lived (even in the range of tens of seconds),

What would the best format to convert user-submitted images? We need to update our image pipeline soon, so I'm looking into various options. It looks like you still have to keep jpg/png around for a few years at least. Even if you

Huh, we have a Thermomix at home and the UI is not terribly laggy but could certainly stand to be improved. No idea how and why they use SVG for the current UI, perhaps it's for upcoming features?

As an AWS user, it bums me out how much vendors don’t integrate better with the marketplace and cloud formation stacks etc. What I’m after is being able to pay a 3rd-party vendor to do all the work of setting up a cluster of machines, deal

We have many clients asking for certification. We just say that we don’t have one, but our major vendors (eg aws) have a shit ton of them, and it seems to work fine. Usually it’s not the certification that will make or break a deal, at leas

Ooh, I’ve done that, and I’m doing it with many such questionnaires I receive :) sometimes it makes sense and we do something about it, but many times you just don’t know what you don’t know, or you don’t know where to start, and it’s not a
