Had good results with echarts. With Superset not so much: complicated to install, lost all dashboards after an update, cryptic error messages, custom queries meh: we decided to use views in Postgres. The project with Superset was finished s

Cut off the infected limb and block the site to Google entirely. Or split HN in an active and archived branch with an upvote threshold, the latter is made accessible by Google.

I just moved out ant charts for echarts. Too many bugs IMHO in ant charts (ant.design however is great).

Nope, you are wrong on both accounts. OP is referring to the emergency exit and why it would make sense to make them fail save. These doors are located above the wings. Your picture shows the normal entrance door. This door is gigantic and

Good point. Boeing (737) has the door open to the outside. The Airbus (320) the door opens to the inside. I can remember when I was small my Mom mentioned that doors of buildings in the US are mandatory to open to the outside, a rule that d

I thought it would make sense to search how large Kayak actually is. It appears the there is also a pretty decent Kayak market of 500 million. I thought you might want to know: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/kayak-marke

It is easy to overestimate the competence at these regional sales offices. I visited one a few years ago (similar product, Japanese HQ). And it seems Haier HQ dropped the ball by letting these locals roll out their own APIs. Also hilarious

That is an expired fact. Chinese are buying their own brands now, hence the tremendous growth.

The article has a nice graph where you can see Chinese had a 20 - 25% market share and the Western/Japanese has the remainder in the ICE era. Suddenly in the last years the Western/Japanse traditional manufacturers are squeezed to

Mostly agree. I suggest to keep using ETL and create a data warehouse that irons outs most of these nuances that are needed for a production database. On a data warehouse with good meta data I can imagine this will work great.

Great idea, to design a house nowadays means you need to do a lot more mandatory calculations. For example a wooden beam between insulation has to be calculated, where a few years ago we could pretend they did not exist. Builders are now sw

About statistics, another nice app based on the same ideas and fears is the Am I Going Down app. It lets you know how often you need to take the trip before you crash and die. [1] https://www.fearofflying.app/

Me too. From Ant to Maven long ago. In the beginning it involved still quite some work, making plugins, running Nexus. But since Spring Boot, Maven is for me just a copy/paste activity.

I use PostGREST a lot, but with strong guardrails. IMO you should always have a real API layer, and use this just for a convenience to do the base load. Like all these tools, once you go to real world requirements, adapting the tool is wors

Yes, we had that at Oracle as a product. SQL + PL/SQL = HTML. It also had a built in versioning that if two users would change the same record it would moan.
