Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Show HN: Matrices – explore, visualize, and share large datasets
Hey HN, I'm excited to share a new side project I've been working on.
The product is called Matrices. You can check it out here: https://matrices.com/.
With Matrices, you can *explore*, *visualize*, and *share* large (100k rows) datasets–all without code. Filter data down to just what you want, visualize it with built-in charts, and share your results with one click.
You can use it today (no login or waitlist or anything). Just copy and paste your data from a google sheet or CSV file.
It's hard to describe the feeling of "gliding over data" you get with Matrices, so I'd rather *show* you how it works instead. This 75s video will give you a sense of how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rrh9_I3Ux8E.
Data is stored locally in your browser until you publish it, though small sample does go to the OpenAI APIs for AI-assisted features.
I started building Matrices because I wanted a tool that made it easy to explore new datasets. When I'm first trying to dig into data, I'll have one question... that leads to another... that will invariably lead to five more questions. It's sort of a fractal process, and I couldn't find many good options that were fast, responsive, and visual.
I figured this crowd would be interested in tech stack as well, it's using arquero [1] bindings over apache arrow for in-memory analytics, and visx [2] for visualizations. I'd like to add duckdb-wasm support at some point to open up a wider set of databases. Data is serialized as parquet to save a bit on bandwidth + storage.
Give it a spin, and let me know what you think. This is my first 'serious frontend project' so I appreciate any and all feedback and bug reports. Feel free to comment here (I'll be around most of the day), or shoot me a note: [email protected]

Hal9: Data Science with JavaScript
Transformations: We found out that JavaScript in combination with D3.js has a pretty decent set of data transformation functions; however, it comes nowhere near to Pandas or dplyr. We found out about Tidy.js quite early, loved it, and adopted it. The combination of Tidy.js and D3.js and Plot.js is absolutely amazing for visualizations and data wrangling with small datasets, say 10-100K rows. We were very happy with this for a while; however, once you move away from visualizations into real-world data analysis, we found out 100K rows restrictive, which gets worse when having 100 or 1K columns. So we switched gears and started using Arquero.js, which happens to be columnar and enabled us to process +1M rows in the browser, descent size for real-world data analysis.

We Built a 19 PiB Logging Platform with ClickHouse and Saved Millions
Yes, we are working on it! :) Taking some of the learnings from current experimental JSON Object datatype, we are now working on what will become the production-ready implementation. Details here: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54864
Variant datatype is already available as experimental in 24.1, Dynamic datatype is WIP (PR almost ready), and JSON datatype is next up. Check out the latest comment on that issue with how the Dynamic datatype will work: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/54864#issuec...

Build time is a collective responsibility
In our repository, I've set up a few hard limits: each translation unit cannot spend more than a certain amount of memory for compilation and a certain amount of CPU time, and the compiled binary has to be not larger than a certain size.
When these limits are reached, the CI stops working, and we have to remove the bloat: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/61121
Although these limits are too generous as of today: for example, the maximum CPU time to compile a translation unit is set to 1000 seconds, and the memory limit is 5 GB, which is ridiculously high.

Fair Benchmarking Considered Difficult (2018) [pdf]
I have a project dedicated to this topic: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickBench
It is important to explain the limitations of a benchmark, provide a methodology, and make it reproducible. It also has to be simple enough, otherwise it will not be realistic to include a large number of participants.
I'm also collecting all database benchmarks I could find: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/issues/22398

Writing UDF for Clickhouse using Golang
Today we're going to create an UDF (User-defined Function) in Golang that can be run inside Clickhouse query, this function will parse uuid v1 and return timestamp of it since Clickhouse doesn't have this function for now. Inspired from the python version with TabSeparated delimiter (since it's easiest to parse), UDF in Clickhouse will read line by line (each row is each line, and each text separated with tab is each column/cell value):

The 2024 Web Hosting Report
For the third, examples here might be analytics plugins in specialized databases like Clickhouse, data-transformations in places like your ETL pipeline using Airflow or Fivetran, or special integrations in your authentication workflow with Auth0 hooks and rules.

Choosing Between a Streaming Database and a Stream Processing Framework in Python
Online analytical processing (OLAP) databases like Apache Druid, Apache Pinot, and ClickHouse shine in addressing user-initiated analytical queries. You might write a query to analyze historical data to find the most-clicked products over the past month efficiently using OLAP databases. When contrasting with streaming databases, they may not be optimized for incremental computation, leading to challenges in maintaining the freshness of results. The query in the streaming database focuses on recent data, making it suitable for continuous monitoring. Using streaming databases, you can run queries like finding the top 10 sold products where the “top 10 product list” might change in real-time.

Proton, a fast and lightweight alternative to Apache Flink
Proton is a lightweight streaming processing "add-on" for ClickHouse, and we are making these delta parts as standalone as possible. Meanwhile contributing back to the ClickHouse community can also help a lot.
Please check this PR from the proton team: https://github.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/pull/54870
