There's a plugin for Chart.js that does something similar was well: https://github.com/nagix/chartjs-plugin-rough

You can use chart.js without moment. You do not need any date library if you're not using the time scale. If you are using the time scale you can also choose date-fns or luxon as lighter weight alternatives.

It looks cool. The only examples I see though are for drawing maps. Any pointers on how you could draw a x/y chart?

There's a Chart.js plugin that will do that for you as well: https://nagix.github.io/chartjs-plugin-rough/

I think most chart libraries use SVG. There are trade-offs between the two approaches and both have their advantages. One of the places that canvas really shines is performance. In the past I've found Chart.js and some of the faster SV

I'd be happy to review any PR to improve our rollup & package.json config as long as it's backwards compatible with the documented methods of using Chart.js: https://www.chartjs.org/docs/latest/gettin

There have been two major changes in Chart.js that will dramatically improve performance in the upcoming 2.9.0 release. We're also adding a section to the documentation about options you can set to improve performance over the defaults

It seems pretty accurate. The South Coast Air Quality Management District tested a bunch of consumer devices against a $30,000 professional device. I was deciding between the IQAir and Laser Egg 2+, which both did well according to their te

I have a model trained with XGBoost Java. Can I take the model file and read it with scikit-learn to visualize it with this library?

I've sent a PR to date-fns to add time zone support, but the maintainer doesn't seem to have much bandwidth to review it. In the meantime, I'm going with Luxon

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like a hospital has had an incentive to do that in the past. They make less money by charging urgent care rates instead of emergency rates. They also have shifted liability onto themselves. When they get

Have you done this? My worry would be that sooner or later you'll have a candidate who posts the assignment online ruining your weeks of effort. It also seems like it makes it much easier to cheat if you make it a take home.

If debt is forgiven or defaulted upon, then it becomes harder to borrow in the future (i.e. they must do so at higher interest rates to account for the risk). If countries never paid their debt then no one would loan to them or would loan o

This is very frustrating. Made worse by the fact that they just replaced their packaging tool with a new jpm tool that doesn't yet match the functionality of the old tool.

Agreed. That's the only reason we're not on Kubernetes right now. It really dramatically increases the amount of infrastructure we need to run when we're forced to run three Kubernetes clusters to run a single MongoDB replica

Play 1's code generation / scaffolding for CRUD apps was nice. It would be a cool feature to add to Play 2. I really find Play 2 to be an enormous improvement over Play 1 though. As just one example, deploying your app is so much

Asynchronous code is often more performant, but requires you to supply a callback if you want to take further action after the async code completes. In Java, this typically means subclassing Callable or some other class and you end up with

The big difference with 2.4 is that Play now uses DI internally. So if you want to replace some Play component with your own version of that component, you can do that. With 2.3 you could use DI with your own app, but couldn't with any

Yes, I use Play exclusively with Java. I've never felt that Java is a second-class citizen with Play. All the features are supported from both languages and the core developers are very eager to ensure that you can work equally well wi

This submission's title is horribly misleading because Play is not a Scala web framework. It's a web framework for Java and Scala. As someone who's used Play heavily for the past couple of years, I'm very excited by this
