6 Tips to Make Your Dashboards More Performant

Once you get started, it’s intuitive to dive deeper by adding more and more fields, formulae, and calculations to a simple visualization—until it becomes slower and slower to render. In a world where two-second response times can lose an audience, performance is crucial. Here are some tips on making your dashboards more performant.

Each time an astronaut flies to the International Space Station, they get the opportunity to express themselves through the photos they take of the remarkable blue sphere passing below them. It really is fascinating to observe their different styles – some seem partial to urban scenes, some wilderness. Some focus on weather, some aim their lenses at the oceans. Some aim for videos, some aim for vines, some aim for still frames.

CRASHING OUT

In a double-displacement reaction, two sets of ionic chemical pairs switch partners. The reaction of silver nitrate with sodium chloride forms a white solid because, although both starting materials are very soluble in water, silver chloride, one of the products, is mostly insoluble. As silver chloride forms, it crashes out of solution, clouding the liquid. Meanwhile soluble NaNO3, the other product, stays dissolved. Here is the full chemical reacton: 

AgNO3 (aqueous) + NaCl (aqueous) –> AgCl (solid) + NaNO3 (aqueous)

MIniature Wood Houses by Daniel Barreto

Artist on Tumblr

Their windows glowing with light and flickering in the dark snowy night beg the question “who built this house and how do they exactly live here. ”

Today the ocean is blue like a galaxy in outer space where you swim through stars and black holes and the forcefields of moons, and it never ends. If I think too much about infinity, I have to close my eyes. Down here the earth is chained like a little dock to the rocks. We spin and spin and we don’t ever let go.
