It could be that you have an anxiety disorder, obsessive personality disorder or OCD. Or perhaps not, but the obvious red flag is trouble sleeping. If you’re typically a good sleeper but find yourself sleepless when in one of your spirals i

So you have duckdb running on the server (e.g. node.js) and duckdb-wasm running on the client? Or are you hitting S3 directly with duckdb-wasm?

D3 is from jQuery era so there are a lot of methods for manually manipulating the DOM like d3.select() and then selection.attr() etc. but those patterns tend to lead to components that are lengthy, hard to read and hard to maintain. Arguabl

I’ve been using D3 on and off for quite some time. I’m just starting now with react and visx definitely looks very promising as it bridges the gap nicely. Do you find it limiting though (like you have to fight the tool) to achieve something

But what do you use to actually take the notes? After trying a bunch of apps I settled on VS Code with a custom Profile that has all the settings, extensions and UI states that I need for taking markdown notes. I realised that I already spe

I don’t get the genocide argument. Israel has complete air superiority, if genocide was the goal they could have leveled Gaza in the first day. Casualties would have been at least over 1 million not 30k. And they wouldn’t go door-to-door, d

You can definitely pass JWT as a query param (and often are in embedded scenarios) and no its not the same as logging passwords unless you literally place the password in the payload (which would be stupid).

As someone who's evaluating both Remix and Next right now Remix makes it very clear and front-and-centre that you can (and perhaps should) bring your server. Next documentation barely mentions it, if you're lucky to find anything

How fast exactly is DuckDB-Wasm for filtering for interactive coordinated views? Could the inputs be a brush selector range (x0, x1) from a time-series chart and then when you brush it the other components would re-render within… millisecon

I’ve been searching for alternatives to crossfilter.js for slicing large multidimensional datasets at sub 10ms speeds. Would DuckDB-Wasm be a suitable alternative?

by laurels-marts 3y ago
Very impressive and will definitely server many use-cases. However, it's static site with data refresh at build time. Does this mean there cannot be user-based row-level security (i.e. selective access)? One of the main selling points

Svelte 5 moves closer to React in quite a few ways. The single component per file is still a dealbreaker for me. React got it right with composition and being able to break a component out into its sub-components.
