Any presentations folks would particularly recommend?

Thanks for sharing that project. I've implemented similar things, and I have to say, this seems to be very thoughtfully implemented.

For anyone who wants to know how all these pieces work together, I've been writing a series that actually dives into the source of Rails: http://www.monkeyandcrow.com/series/reading_rails/ Sure, Rails is comp

The bypass links are actually pretty neat. Do many sites implement them this way? Seems like a win both for accessibility, and developers who love their keyboards.

If you understand Rails, you'll have a better grasp of a lot of the other web frameworks out there that have been inspired by it. So even if you don't use it in the future, learning it may be helpful.

It's not so much the time over the wire to download, but the time to parse and run all that JS. If you open up your web dev tools, I think you'll see the impact from a 50k gzipped JS file is probably greater than a 500k image, fo

Hey delicious is still around, not great, but around. In fact if you poke around in their UI (I think it was going to export) you can get redirected to one of the old UIs from before it got sold and web2.0y.

If you live in Seattle, drop by the Theo Chocolate factory in Fremont. Delicious.

Folks from Braintree gave a talk about how they did this. They'd queue up all the incoming requests in Redis, then replay them once the site was back up.

So I'm just a HN reader, but this isn't a new trend. Folks have been doing it for ages. Just sayin'

The trick really boils down to: be messy, but clean up. If you don't do the second half of each thing (copy and paste / don't copy and paste), then you end up with that unmaintainable mess. If you do the second part too earl

Unfortunately as long as any of your target browsers don't support all of the transpiled features, you need to transpile for everyone. Unless you start serving up different builds based on user agent...

Ah neat. Bevacqua does some great work. If you're interested in JS, browse his github repos and check out ponyfoo.com

Adds and deletes are pretty cheap. Inserts can be expensive if you need to re-number the following nodes. Depends on if you're concerned with ordering as well as parentage.

How are you using window functions for querying the hierarchy?
228.
by netghost 11y ago
There is also SQL For Smarties of you want other approaches.
229.
by netghost 11y ago
I think it depends on how your data is represented. If your data only exists in a single hierarchy, and you don't need to index other values for lookup, a JSON object might work fine.

One other factor, I think ltree is based around strung keys, while the approach we took used integers representing priority ordering . So an integer array worked quite nicely. Ltree seems like it would be good for representing a named categ

Hey, author here. I'm surprised this got posted to HN. Anecdotally, when I first looked into ways to handle this, we tested recursive CTEs, and they didn't perform as well for our workload. The indexed arrays work well for doing l

In this case it looks like the spreadsheet is mostly for laying out the variables in a nice orderly table/grid.

This is a really great interface, and cool idea. You might consider upping the run count, or maybe narrowing your bins for the visualization. Either way, it's great to see more tools embracing probability and uncertainty like this.

You might also find LiquidPlanner ( http://www.liquidplanner.com/features/#why-liquidplanner ) interesting for software estimation. The scheduling engine built entirely around the notion of ranged estimates driving prob

The typical PERT three point distribution is better than assuming the mean, but does have a few drawbacks when modeling joint probable outcomes. I honestly can't remember if it over our under represents the optimistic or pessimistic re

by netghost 11y ago
If you want a tool that goes beyond assuming the mean, take a look at LiquidPlanner. It can model complex plans, and is based on ranged estimates that let you capture uncertainty in ways that most other told can't. Full disclaimer, I w

For operations that don't have any side effects, I can definitely see how you could use the Science library. I'm curious though if there are any strategies folks use for experiments that do have side effects like updating a databa

I'm curious if this helps screen readers. .no-svg .icon-only:after { content: attr(aria-label); } I would think the `:after` would make the aria attribute apply to a new pseudo element, which may or may not do much g

So I've never come across INSERT table SELECT values UNION ALL SELECT values. Any reason to prefer that over INSERT INTO table (col, col) VALUES (v1, v2), (v1, v2), ... ?
