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 SaaS, but it seems there's a gap between PowerBI/Tableau/Metabase/Superset and various charting libraries. The former are too much "turn key" and the latter require a ton of work to setup all the chart-building UI and features...

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 what I was learning and it’s physically demanding…

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

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 right.

We do use different words for the direction of the ship facing towards or away from the wind though.

Not sure if the ancients used other words though. We managed to avoid confusion for a few hundred years though.

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-cljs/cherry Which is closer to CLJS semantics and data structures but compiles to .mjs files without any advanced optimizations etc.

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

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 issue whatsoever. The cylinders aren’t even that big or heavy (for a heat pump).

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 usually lethal if you don’t have surface support.

If you like the water but don’t want to deal with gear, do get free diving certified to be educated about the risks and mitigation strategies.

Personally, I’m hooked to Scuba, I find the focus on being calm, breathing and the feeling of weightlessness and flying are one of the most relaxing experiences in life. I surface after every dive just grinning like an idiot.

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 20 years) are also quiet (no revolving noise maker). They also double as a plain deep pan.

Isn’t that common in North America? Why do you have to buy an extra appliance?
