Recently I found my regular news sources became a bit tendentious. The news I remember from 15+ years ago were merely facts told austerely with ostentation, leaving much of the conclusions to the audience. I found something similar on http

Very appealing. Heavy price tag though for small and medium projects that are not focused solely on charting. Can someone recommend a product or service somewhere in between Datawrapper and D3 convenience wise? Edit: I realize there’s a ver

My impression is a lot of the best practices spread today are suited best for FAANGs or at least high tier SaaS businesses (which often contribute to the frameworks used). One thing I hear repeated over and over is: Code is going to change

Click bait. It’s an old family tree, yes, but not a large one as you might expect. It’s 5 successive generations living 5.7k years ago (still impressive).

I don't get this focus on file size, really. 256 MB is ~0.02% of my current disk space. If the product is fine and the tools the developers choose to build it demand for this space – so it be, I couldn't care less. Given it won&#x

In the area I live in (mid-size city in SE Germany) many buildings are from the early 1900s/late 1800s. Insulating those is pretty much a common and economic thing to do. - At a rough estimate such a building costs 600.000 € - 1.000.00

What are approaches to you prevent DoS attacks with such an architecture? It seems trivial for an attacker to generate super expensive queries en masse. Strict row limits could bring some relief but don't solve the problem. I bet there

I find the idea of PostgREST very intriguing at first sight. Someone around with experience running this in production? Did you find any major pain points when integrating in a client app (let's say React, Svelte or alike)? The trouble
