Why is the XSLT ecosystem not widely associated with data visualization? -


in 2011, mike bostock, 1 of creators of d3.js remarked on xslt:

xslt’s approach elegant, simple transformations: without high-level visual abstractions, nor flexibility of imperative programming, xslt cumbersome math-heavy visualization task (e.g., interpolation, geographic projection or statistical methods).

at time of writing question, xslt has gone through 2 major revisions, yet still not associated term 'data visualization'.

why? top few concise , concrete reasons, please, perhaps supported line or 2 of code. want better understand shortfalls central it's lack of appeal. 2 or 3 should suffice.

if mike's comments still valid, please so. again, example or 2 helpful.

should prefer little more context answers:

  • thanks tight, local bindings between data , presentation, d3.js has raised expectation quality data-driven applications can made respond dynamically , changes in data set. may think xslt ecosystem characteristics directly impede kind of behavior.

  • is xslt-controlled synchronization of transformations across multiple svg models, example in (from musicxml , other models) music notation -> dynamic score playback -> interactive instruments or theory tools) feasible? if no, in laser sharp sentence or two, why not?

btw, found useful hints among answers earlier (but wooly) question, don't specifics.

imo, because xml basic format persistance , exchange replaced json based styles. change xml related techniques xslt lost focus. think number of real-life xls-fo solutions example development.

Is there a better way to structure post methods in Class Based Views -

i'm using class based views in django , never specify url in ajax calls , omit action parameter in form because know these requests go through post method of class based view. notice view - profile page make many requests depending on user updating on page - post method become convoluted , if/else mess example: def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs): # handle user changing available date if request.post.get('availabledate') != none: self.updateavailabledate(request) return jsonresponse({'result':'success'}) if request.post.get('newprojectname') != none: creative_user = creativeuserprofile.objects.get(id = request.user.id) project = project.create_project(creative_user, request.post['newprojectname']) project.save() return jsonresponse({'projectid': project.id }) if request.post.get('projectimage') != none , request.files['file']: proj

performance - Why is XCHG reg, reg a 3 micro-op instruction on modern Intel architectures? -

i'm doing micro-optimization on performance critical part of code , came across sequence of instructions (in at&t syntax): add %rax, %rbx mov %rdx, %rax mov %rbx, %rdx i thought had use case xchg allow me shave instruction , write: add %rbx, %rax xchg %rax, %rdx however, dimay found agner fog's instruction tables , xchg 3 micro-op instruction 2 cycle latency on sandy bridge, ivy bridge, broadwell, haswell , skylake. 3 whole micro-ops , 2 cycles of latency! 3 micro-ops throws off 4-1-1-1 cadence , 2 cycle latency makes worse original in best case since last 2 instructions in original might execute in parallel. now... cpu might breaking instruction micro-ops equivalent to: mov %rax, %tmp mov %rdx, %rax mov %tmp, %rdx where tmp anonymous internal register , suppose last 2 micro-ops run in parallel latency 2 cycles. given register renaming occurs on these micro-architectures, though, doesn't make sense me done way. why wouldn't register renamer

jquery - Responsive Navbar with Sub Navbar -

good day, forgive me nav vocabulary not best. if question confusing apologize. i'm working on navigation bar needs centered on page @ 768px , above. items in nav open (or perhaps toggle) subnav lives directly below. these nav should appear centered on page. i have been able work through responsive portion of nav bar, having main items align vertically , sub nav menu of each item roll out below, , gave them indent separation. working well. however, issue not responsive side, behavior @ width greater 768px. happens toggling menu's sub navigation pushes other main items down page below sub nav. here's code: $(document).ready(function () { //stick in fixed 100% height behind navbar don't wrap $('#slide-nav.navbar-inverse').after($('<div class="inverse" id="navbar-height-col"></div>')); $('#slide-nav.navbar-default').after($('<div id="navbar-height-col"></d
