Just wanted to say thank you for Typesense. I use it for my own open source software [1] and integration with it was really easy. More generally, I think it is great to see development in this area from Algolia and Search.io to Typesense an

I don't disagree, but I think it is more complex than a simple tiering system. For example, where I live we have no mains gas, so heating is typically oil. Trying to be environmentally minded I've installed heat pumps to do the ho

We are trying to answer this with CloudTables ( https://cloudtables.com ) - which is effectively a GUI for my DataTables library with a Postgres backend. Current work is to address the row limit and allow millions of rows without

Where did you get them? Prices here in the UK are double or treble that!

What software do you use to manage that?

One of my OSS bits of software has an XSLX data export options, so I've been interested in the OpenOffice / LibreOffice split because of a bug in OpenOffice causing the file I was outputting to be read as empty. I've changed

I had assumed that you would need to register to claim to be HIPAA compliant, but that doesn't actually appear to be the case. It looks that if you claim it, you can be audited by Dept of Health and Human Services (HHS). I wonder how t

Does anyone have experience with HIPAA who is not based in the US? It can obviously be useful as a sales avenue to US based customers, but I'm wondering what channels you need to go through if you are not a US based company.

What I really want from SQL is the ability to do a single select with one or more parts of each returned record being an array (defined by a one-to-many join) and others simple scalars. It looks like Postgres can do it [1] with its JSON cap

Possibly slightly off topic, and not something I would normally comment on, but wow - what a lot of adverts! Desktop browser and aside from the full screen ad you need to click through on load, about 3/5 of the screen is adverts. I&#x2

How do big companies make the initial approach? Do you get a phone call out of the blue from someone at Microsoft saying "We are interesting in acquiring you - how does x million sound?" (I know I've grossly over simplified!)

Does anyone have any information about HTTP/2 development in Apache? Searching the bug list I don't immediately see anything and the only thing I can find from a Google search is a mailing list entry with someone asking about http

Any recommendations?

I was wondering this as well - would be interested in the answer. Years since I've really dabbled in WYSIWYG editing JS, but the best I can think of us to use a reset CSS file namespaced for the `div` (or whatever container) in questio

The thing that really suggests renaming jQuery Compat to be just jQuery and jQuery to something is (jQuery+?) for me is this in the blog post: > use the jQuery-Compat 3.0.0 package. We recommend this version for most web sites, since it

Are you sure about that? My understand of it was that the place of supply depends on what is being sold and not on the VAT registration status of either party. Digital goods would have the place of supply defined by where the customer is. S

Out of interest then, how do people hear about your SaaS? Word of mouth and Google searches only?

I found that (in some browsers - not all) that calling `toString()` on the function that has been attached (which you can get by poking around in the jQuery cache) returns the raw, formatted, function - with comments, etc. You can then do a

Don't know if it can really be considered "interesting" or not, but at the very end the logo flickers between the new style single shade and the old style rainbow colours. Might we see a return of the old logo?

by theallan 12y ago
Yes! This would open a huge number of possibilities. Simple things like a colour picker, to transitions based on the content of the window would be made possible. I would love to see this happen.

I have no relationship to the project, but I'm curious to know why you think that? The BSD license is extremely liberal.

It seems like there is significantly lower information density in the new design in desktop browsers. Is this something that was looked at - the the old layout's information density was too high? Certainly there are massively more link
