Can this work to give end-users/customers the ability to create their own reports/charts, respecting data access visibility etc? I am in need of a "dashboarding" feature in our Saa…

FYI joker these days is completely replaced by Babashka.

I studied classical guitar for a few years, and let me tell you, scales on the guitar do not involve just moving a finger or a barre or a capo: look up the Segovia scales, that’s w…

Never heard of this before, but I have fond memories of my grandmother sipping Greek coffee with a piece of Cretan gruyere.

In Clojure-land, we are also using HoneySQL [1] which has similar characteristics. You are still working within SQL semantics so it's a bit more complicated, but we are doing great…

In Greek boating terms, we use just plain left and right. At sailing school we were taught that left means always the left side of the ship as it travels forward, and similarly the…

Interesting, in the CLJS space we recently got two new libraries in this space: https://github.com/squint-cljs/squint Which is a thin layer on top of JS https://github.com/squint-c…

Obligatory shout out to Babashka [0] which is interpreted Clojure. You just download a simple binary and you can get going. Widely used for quick-running scripts, with a lot of bat…

HoneySQL allows you to write SQL via data structures so you can compose that. Gives you a lot of power.

Check out Babashka!

In a browser context, the built-in DOMParser (perhaps wrapped in dompurify) is the way to do this. No need to look elsewhere.

I haven’t seen a mention so far, but 30 bar pressure isn’t that big. Scuba diving uses helium (wellC helium and oxygen) at up to 250 bar (in small cylinders, 10-12liters) with no i…

Yes, the point is to keep the airways open, but that’s hard to demonstrate hence the suggestion to “make a stream of small bubbles as you ascend”

For the people who might be tempted to skip scuba and just hold their breath: beware of the so-called free diving blackout, which occurs at the surface AFTER the dive, and is usual…

I’m curious - here in Southern Europe we have been using pressure cookers for ages. They’re meant to be used on the stovetop (usually electric). The newer models (like in the last …

Well sure, if we were building something towards general audience I’d say yes, let’s bias our UI towards editorial rules that can be enforced, since incentives align. We’re buildin…

Supposedly there’s a classical version of Apple Music in the works, which should fix this.

The truncated text is a huge peeve of mine with designers. I get that it’s hard to design a nice grid if you have to account for text that wrapped etc, but not everyone is called T…

A nitpick: Your code will not run faster in GraalVM vs the JVM, it will start faster. If its small scripts where the startup time dominates, then of course it goes faster. For anyt…

What would the best format to convert user-submitted images? We need to update our image pipeline soon, so I'm looking into various options. It looks like you still have to keep jp…

YouTube seems to use 10 characters for their video id, does anyone know what is the tech behind that?

Huh, back when we were developing the interactive Timeline at https://www.edmstudio.com/portfolio/moad/ , we did something similar for the artistic effect: various speech bubbles f…

Huh, we have a Thermomix at home and the UI is not terribly laggy but could certainly stand to be improved. No idea how and why they use SVG for the current UI, perhaps it's for up…

The video was playing music and Vimeo took it down due to copyright infringement :( If I was to do this again I’d do away with the Mac mini and use a raspberry pi plus a Spotify da…

I did this five years ago: https://www.edmstudio.com/news/faux-vinyl-experience-spotify...
