Absolutely with you. Visuals defined in JSON (so perfect for manipulation and generation) and also able to bake-in custom interactions within that is an awesome power. I like the look of Observable Plot, but it doesn't do interaction l

I agree. Functional programming sits on a difficulty range: spreadsheets on the low-end (debatable but I'll say it!), and on the high-end, well, I think that everything else FP sits there with minor exceptions. I'm developing a la

Neat, I also far prefer using in-editor staging & commiting workflows which are excellent by necessity; history tools by comparison are weak unless I'm missing something. So this seems really useful. I might reuse the pattern to st

^ to elaborate on possible logic: Training an LLM is a low barrier; legal guarantees is a high barrier. This might turn out to be quite important; without backfiring it seems like a very smart move.

Surprisingly the GP didn't include price of the device as a reason, but the 30% Apple cut/likely uplift in price that developers need to charge to recuperate development costs - which are far more significant than developer hardwa

The truth about cookie behaviour can be found, as it's a browser-driven feature (unlike fingerprinting). But at least some analysis of the cookies will be needed, as I think essential cookies under some definition/interpretation a

I develop calculang, a language for calculations. It converts concise formulae into Javascript. Since calculation formulae are usually inherently pure, a `--memo` flag to the compiler memoizes the lot. Many of my models are written in this

My instinct about numbers (i.e. incl. statistics) is that they should be reproducible: on-demand, with results and workings easily subjected to interrogation. In reality in many fields - my experience is in finance, but also in science - ca

If it integrates so freely it should be a non-event when you, your CPA, and individual clients exercise autonomy over accounting software choices. I don't think the FOSS vision in this space is to compel one new option on everyone that

MITM will see everything, but this should be the case with headers as well as GET params, passwords/tokens/data etc.

A stackoverflow answer on this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/499594 I don't think proxy servers or sniffers see GET data - it's encrypted, assuming HTTPS of course. Server logs might be an issue. Browser logs

I look at these tools to see how they communicate these data processing/security details to their users. There appears to be a lot of apathy/total disregard to giving users any clear clue. It might not matter to me or this audienc

What I read sounds like the project owner can clearly articulate the projects purpose (a point about free speech and big tech v lightness and about enabling). And the proposed contributions are reasonably contrary to them as he sees it. Exp

If your work isn't professional, high-stakes stuff for a client, perhaps you can take some sting out of the hard finishing part by heavily and prominently disclaiming your work, and writing down the things you haven't done. Is the

Thats 1 option, but I think there is more to explore than that. E.g. to look at canvas implementation it appears CF delivers a Chromium render to canvas. Maybe what helps here is standardisation. That render wasn't sufficient during th
