Fun fact for #RStats: as of last month, it's been 10 years since @hadleywickham's "Tidy Data" paper was published in #JStatSoft

The European mind cannot comprehend this:

“The University of California just announced a list of military weaponry it wants in order to escalate its warfare on its students:
3000 rounds of pepper munitions
500 rounds of 40mm impact munitions
12 drones
9 grenade launchers

Read the full list here: https://regents.universityofcalifornia.edu/regmeet/sept24/c1.pdf “

Someone complained that the xkcd Dependency comic is unrealistic because it only shows one critical dependency you've never heard of.

However, it all makes sense once you realize it's actually a fractal:

Today's contribution seeks to answer the question of how the history of the visual representation of temporal processes can be captured, and how the emergence of the statistical time series graph has influenced our ideas about time, history, and stories:

How can we prevent Wikipedia from crumbling under the weight of "AI" garbage spewing, and disinformation specialists' gleeful use of the garbage?

@molly0xfff says you can help best by becoming a Wikipedia editor.

It's not difficult. We all need to participate.

(I'm assigning this to my students.)

Last week we launched with a bold new vision: an open-source static site generator — Observable Framework — for creating fast, beautiful data apps you can host anywhere. Use JavaScript for interactive graphics with Python, R, or any language for data analysis. https://observablehq.com

In #Obsidian, you can edit more than one part of your note simultaneously using multiple cursors. Just hold `Alt` and click to add another cursor. This is handy for simultaneous edits like tagging or formatting across several lines. #TfT

The video demonstrates editing a CVS file to remove the comma & add a dash as a separator. It then uses ALT+SHIFT to convert to a list, and it uses find and replace to eliminate quotation marks.

Cycling is ten times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities https://theconversation.com/cycling-is-ten-times-more-important-than-electric-cars-for-reaching-net-zero-cities-157163

So when are Local Authorities going to start investing it? E-cars are about saving the motor industry not the planet.

In November we announced a zine, "Models for Making Distance," which would collect instructions and manifestos for creative acts of algorithmic resistance. The deadline is April 15, and then we print. We would love to have your contributions! More details: https://www.cyberneticforests.com/zine

I am curious if anyone has put together a Jupyter notebook like experience in Obsidian, but with Javascript? #obsidian #obsidianmd #TfT #javascript

Cohort-7 of the visual-thinking-workshop.com is currently running. Over the past 6.5 cohorts I've learned so much! I decided to update and extend the course content. I'm creating a visual board of all the practices, methods, tools, and checklists covered in the course.

One benefit of this is I spend more quality time with my old notes. Here's the storyboard of an article I planned ~3 years ago about "daily journal PKM". My terminology has evolved since, but the idea is still super relevant.

I’m looking for #books and #podcast recs about #accessibility and #inclusivedesign, especially (but not limited to) experiences with physical objects and built environments, not only digital. First-person experience or research-based, or a blend of the two. #sensory and #neurodiversity related as well.

I'm actively adding to my reading and listening list, so any and all recommendations are appreciated! Just finishing Andrew Leland's The Country of the Blind: A Memoir at the End of Sight today.
