Re:Why Nextcloud feels slow to use on Monday November 03, 2025 @11:31AM (#45800904)
I think, some of the issues here is that first nextcloud tries to be compatible with any managed / mutualized hosting.

They also treat every "module"/"apps" whatever you call it, as completely distinct spa without proving much of a sdk/framework. Which mean each app, add is own deps, manage is own build, etc...

Also don't forget that app can even be a part of a screen not the whole thing

Not sure how related there are, but it looks like it could be used to do https://www.wakatoon.com
Homeassistant + Power calc (https://github.com/bramstroker/homeassistant-powercalc) really does wonder here,

you can "simulate" power of fairly stable appliances.

Then you chart that in a nice Sankey chart or in standard charts and enjoy

would be interesting to find some mutualisation with umap-project.org ... or at least become a friend project :)
Re:OpenStreepMap 2012 vs. 2022 on Friday September 30, 2022 @11:46AM (#33036454)
sorry but that is simply not true... I think there are areas where it can be, probably those more remote, or where there are less contributors but at least in western europe, the map is built and maintained by individuals like me. Maybe helped with external datas but still carefully handpicked and integrated by individuals

hum, still stuck at https://www.actionspanel.app/auth/sign-in?next=/app ... trying to go to /app but redirect there again... clicking the button "does nothing" (goes to github and back in a glimpse).
Nice I was looking to test this at work... But not sure if login does not work for me (and my buddy) or something else.... But we kept beeing redirected to the login button

Re:Common mistakes in PostgreSQL on Friday May 03, 2019 @01:29PM (#19820368)
Yeah but what it state here is that if you want to add a limit on field size, then add a check constraint... Much easier to deal with than changing type
Re:Why Wolfram Tech Isn’t Open Source on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @09:25AM (#19553772)
It's me or a lot of those points don't explain anything? I totally get they don't want to open source it as a company but don't try to give false reason for it.

It's not because it's open source that you can't have quality, central design, or good documentation.

I've used the mysql FDW for a project at work, it was really helpfull. We've replaced an old "ETL" using a bunch of hard to maintain scripts to mysql_fdw and some materialized view.

It was easier for us because it helps write maintainable logic, you can easily sync multiple databases, multiple servers, without much changes.

A few things to note though:

- we had issues with 0000-00-00 dates that are valid in mysql but not in postgres. So we had to write include a convertion in plsql into the mat view.

- We stumble upon a bug in mysql_fdw, in which the selected row is skipped if the size of a column exceed a given size. This is reaaaaally hard to catch and really bad experience as you won't get any error, notice or warning.

- we had trouble with a few type casting like json and others.

Re:Smugmug Acquires Flickr on Saturday April 21, 2018 @07:31AM (#16891009)
nope... 25 time for me
got it running on osx, first it didn't worked (nothing suggested), then i've restarted it and it seems to work.

pretty basic, but it more or less match my needs. the only thing that i miss is the file icons or app icons: it show you multiple match but the icons are all the same, dark, so you can't quickly disambiguate them

I'm pretty happy with gitlab too, but if i had to compare it with github i would go: - gitlab.com is neat but often has 5XX or is often pretty slow - doc is somewhat messy i rarely find what i'm looking for. - UI/UX get better but still confusing. - notifications are not clear and i often get what i don't want (my own things) and not what i want (what other did)
Oh and btw is there some sort of support for gitlab.com we got issues with new accounts and didn't really knew where to go...
Nice! Good release !... One thing that make the user experience way less friendly and make me worry about pushing as our main repo is the git push/pull speed.... Coming from GitHub or bitbucket it feels really slow. But I don't give up hope!

Keep up the good work!

Re:GitLab 8.8 released with Pipelines on Monday May 23, 2016 @02:59AM (#11752358)
I'm also in the process of moving from jenkins to gitlab... and until now, the process is pretty smooth and easy ... gitlab-ci is easier to grasp and to work with... the only issues i got is about things like publishing build results (lints check or test results /counts ) althoug there is basic support for artifacts. it's not easily possible (at least for now) to fetch the artifacts for a given commit or branch without doing multiple api calls.
Re:OVH: PaaS DB PostgreSQL on Monday May 02, 2016 @02:47AM (#11609559)
Interesting .... and the prices seems to be low, but they run postgresql 9.4 which is a little outdated. and there is no details about what you'll be able to do / not do (like installing extensions, or other similar things)
Re:Meet the new Asana on Wednesday September 30, 2015 @05:43PM (#10307567)
Kind of like the new look, more modern but it's only a new css...

some of the polish i'd like to see:

  - @ mentions in firefox that works

  - link from 1 task to another, the linked task should have a mention of the link.
  - loading the task detail panel is waaaaay to slow
  - You don't have enough info about your sub tasks in the main view
  - desktop notifications?
  - desktop client ?
