Cool idea, tried to signup and got: Invalid state parameter


:(

Are you on mobile by any chance?


If you could try again. I fixed a few small things, and I haven't seen the error since. Unfortunately it seems to manifest sporadically on mobile. I have a feeling there's something in the callback URL I get when authenticating through the mobile app... but still can't pinpoint it 100%

You could also clear your cookies - in case you managed to log-in the previous time and they got set.


If the description and reporting is accurate, this person did everything right and was cleared medically (initially), yet sadly still passed away. Unlucky? Bad helmet design? Incompetent concussion assesssment?


MySQL has limited spatial data/function support versus PostGIS extension.


Not true if we’re talking sensible chess moves.


A new better alternative definition of Terse:

The act of proclaiming a “new standard” without any user community to speak of.


It has ALL of the advantages of xᴍʟ.


The main advantages of XML (or any standard) is adoption and a wide ecosystem. Unfortunately that beats any "better" standards by a wide margin.

One thing that is also really important is the ability to define a schema and be able to validate. See XML Schema, JSON Schema. This is a really tricky problem to get right. Especially if you try to do both with the same model (describing your data model and describing how its validated) at the same time.

Once you have the schema, IDEs like VSCode offer code-intelligence and real-time validation, which is very nice.


I conject that with programming languages that do not crash schemas used for validation are relatively unimportant. xᴍʟ schemas suffer from the fact that one can not specify that an element may only appear once.


In fact, the purpose of the maxOccurs indicator in xsd is to specify that an xml element may only appear once.


What advantages does XML have over what? Whatever you’re saying, it’s not as self-evident as you think it is. Respectfully, I think this standard needs to be reframed as version 0.0.1



I love it, but it looks too easy to reset the time by mistake.


Good potential, appreciate the organization of topics but not the ads and clickbait stuff.


It'd be a better site as a single page listing all the charts types (like seaborn docs) but then you wouldn't have to click past two ads to see what a box-and-whisker plot looks like


A better version is here: https://datavizproject.com/


One of my favorites, easy to navigate visually!


Thanks for that!

Much better!


i disagree that this is better because the OP is about why you would choose a given viz and what it actually expresses usefully, where this example is just pictures people can fit their data to for slides.

direction matters. most sankey diagrams could be pie charts (eg the birthday sankey) and dumb usages discredit useful viz techniques.

nested boxes are usually trees, and mixed nested boxes with lines without symmetry are almost always lazy reasoning or bullshit. start with symmetry and intent and it will be apparent.

I’m with you Matt! I like your strategy here.


I was curious about your defense of Matt's behavior in this thread but your empathy makes sense given that you work on a similar project that you describe as:

> A static site that is 100% free and open-source, competing with several businesses operating scammy subscription models.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30295629

Is this a competitor to Wordpress? Can you elaborate more about how the competition in this space uses scammy subscription models? It might help to illustrate the issues in the industry for outsiders like me.

Off topic, but I'm a bit of an amateur musician myself. I try to check out other musicians that I encounter, but I wasn't able to find anything about you or your music online. Do you have a bandcamp or something similar? The contrabass trombone is a really interesting instrument.


Semi-pro, friendo. I don't do the socials. Wish I played a more sought-after instrument though.

You surely know that scammy subscription models are rife in every space. That's why open-source champions like Matt are an inspiration. But nobody's perfect, so have a little grace.


I think this SA perspective is outdated or perhaps never adequately investigated. Packages like renv solve for these issues, and they work great.
