Some relevant efforts are dat (and Beaker Browser, the user-friendly frontend), Secure Scuttlebutt (and Patchwork, the user-friendly frontend), and IPFS. Somewhat less legit (imho) is ZeroNet, and somewhat earlier-stage or more obscure is U

It puzzles me that the linked data future is still discussed, as if we didn't already try it, and didn't already discover that developers dislike arcane RDF standards and the academic-rooted designers of the specifications have a

Hey there - have you tried hitting Tab while editing code? We've implemented dynamic code completion that works in a surprising number of cases where no other completion can work - for example, completing properties of API responses, b

I'm left looking for a spec, like a real spec-flavored specification with all the gritty details, written like you would want if you were writing a parser. It doesn't seem like there is one, yet.

Why do products have to justify a price via updates and new whiz-bang features? Instapaper works great, and I'm happy to pay to keep the lights on. I'd much prefer that, than for it to be another startup constantly pivoting to fin

Gratuitous self-link, but I wrote this article about the SVG basics, what's useful to learn, and how it's different from HTML: https://macwright.org/2013/06/25/just-enough-svg.html

This is the nth time answering this, but, well: Updates. Doing them efficiently. Vandalism detection. Geocoding and directions. Devops: this is not a trivial computing challenge. The list goes on.

No. It's a question, right? No.

They don't have GIS data to monetize, not of the sort that you could run a successful commercial geocoding or directions service on.

Supply is expensive, and running a 'maps offering' is more of a data-collection and data-maintenance challenge than a logistical challenge. Of course AWS probably will offer such a service eventually, simply to complete their Gott

Good question! Mike wrote a notebook about getting data into Observable here: https://beta.observablehq.com/@mbostock/introduction-to-data - the gist is that right now any host that supports CORS does the trick, and th

Sure, happy to share a few of the gory details. Yep, Observable runs user JavaScript code, but that code has no access to your login credentials or anything from the 'application': user code runs in a sandboxed iframe on a separat

Absolutely! We all quite like Python, and there's no denying that JavaScript doesn't have the same caliber and range of scientific code (yet!). I fully expect plenty of people to do some of the data-crunching in Python, Julia, R,

The solution proposed doesn't match the problems stated, or take much of the technical realities into consideration. Which is fine - maps are complicated, and hard to understand. - As a user, I don't want to share my location with

Author here. I've used plenty of editors that 'know' how to manage parenthesis. And editors that did even more than that, like auto-completing snippets and moving around the cursor. It's all great, and I too think paredi
