A newbie could simply use the export functionality in observable, which automatically generates iframe code, or vanilla-js code or react code for you. Quoting other people that don't want to spend 5 minutes on their problem, doesn&#x27

I think that's actually a result of how D3 has changed over time. It has become much more modular and flexible, but also less "plug & play". In a sense it's a pro tool for custom data visulaisations, where everything

There is such a button. Like I said, everyone I've seen complain so far, always turn out to not even want to learn basic stuff.

We're talking about a javascript repl here, don't blow it out of proportion. The things transfer trivially between the envionments. If having a javascript repl is such a show stopper for learning D3 for you, maybe learn javascript

If you think that the trivial differences between the two environments makes either of them useless to learn the other, franky I'll doubt you'll have the skill to learn D3 properly at all. Taking a dom node and hooking it into the

You make my point. What better environment to learn and twiddle, than a reactive, constantly reevaluating interactive notebook?

Observable is like Jupyter for Javascript. A general JS notebook environment, with the added twist that it uses reactive dataflow ideas to evaluate cells in a "right" and deterministic order (a common footgun in Jupyter where cell

I work with both D3 and Observable full time. The claim that one has to "reverse engineer the runtime" is simply absurd. The people that complain about D3 on observable always turn out to have taken neither the time to understand

That's a bit like complaining that there are examples on codepen. I'm super grateful that they provide such good documentation, which is second to none, in a nicely explorable environment.

There is a very handy RDF DL subset that has all of the desired properties described in the article. Funnily enough we are targeting the browser AND FPGAs, and I think the latter is the much more interesting use case for a distributed react

How would it have introduced a security hole? By definition the field is ignored by your program, therefore even if there is any malicious text in there, e.g. raw html, the system in question can't do anything harmful with it as it is

TL;DR: DTrace uses a minimalistic C dialect called D to write it's probes, hence the name. In order to trace arbitrary code, it has to inject these into the code site that you want inspected. If you could just inject arbitrary C, you&#

They almost got it right, a better implementation would overflow regularly to make use of the entire key space, and counter untuitively more resistant to overflows. Clocks aren't reliable enough for timestamps anyways so garbage collec

Ah yes, and that's not totally skewed by the fact that an "edit" in a knowledge graph is at the granulatity of a triple while an edit in an article has the granulatity of a coherent piece of structurally meaningfull informati

Using RDF to store multiple languages of the same article is gross overengineering. Interlinking with other projects isn't nessecary when there are no other projects.
