The math is often behind me, I just try to visualize what I can. So I don't know how interesting this would be to you, but these folks are pretty good at math and trying to figure …

I hadn't seen it, looking at the API it seems like it could be pretty straightforward to drop it in and see how the projections look.

Author of the project here. Definitely appreciating the supportive comments. I'd be happy to answer questions folks have and am very interested in what kind of data folks end up vi…

some tutorials i've collected recently * https://mode.com/sql-tutorial/sql-joins/ * https://github.com/NUKnightLab/sql-mysteries * https://selectstarsql.com/ * https://sqlbolt.com/…

one thing I love about DuckDB is that it supports Parquet files, which means you can get great compression on the data. Here's an examples getting a 1 million row CSV under 50mb an…

We are hosting a d3 meetup online Thursday 8/27 (tomorrow) more info here: http://meetu.ps/e/Jh8GY/1kwFr/d Mike Bostock will be doing an AMA at the end if you have burning d3v6 que…

clearly it's the sophons. (reference to the Three Body Problem, an awesome book)

it is alacart and baked in at the same time! This article breaks down the API in graleater detail. https://medium.com/@Elijah_Meeks/d3-is-not-a-data-visualizat... All of the functi…

I think this article does a great job breaking down the d3 API and answers your question in detail “D3 is not a Data Visualization Library” @Elijah_Meeks https://medium.com/@Elijah…

I think this is why it is necessary to fund "searching for problems" research. We don't need to solve the 1970s vision of computing, we need to solve the 2020s vision of computing,…

Don't forget that programming languages get more abstract and hence more powerful with fewer lines of code. RealTalk has functions you can call to get the physical location of a pi…

It is a general purpose computing platform, with lots of utilities for programming in a physical space. All of the surface area becomes a display, you can render using inches inste…

I was pointing out the repeated use of "guy" by the parent. It implies that only men work at the BigCo. Certainly the use of guy is cultural, but it derives from a male dominated w…

is it still all guys their?

I would advise your grandma to go to the genius bar at an apple store, just like I might advise you to go to legalzoom or some other easily approachable service for business and ac…

This problem has been weighing heavily on my mind since reading The Second Machine Age. The first thing I've read that gives me some hope for finding a solution is Rushkoff's "Thro…

I think your second point is the real open question that should be explored deeper. Your first point however is harmful and patronizing. If you can find coding answers on stackover…

i made a visual explanation/exploration tool about pinyin: http://enjalot.github.io/pinyin/ Pinyin really helped me learn Chinese. RIP

fair enough!

Does this mean you intend to update your existing examples in place? It might be nice if you forked them with v4 instead to create a defacto upgrade guide. I know many tutorials re…

A lot of Chinese students learn to read and write English perfectly but can barely speak it because of the way it is taught in Chinese schools. Learning to speak requires practice …

I've got a few d3 + maps tutorial videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI_sHchSmdCDH0ooOKSWS... Starting at #4 in the series I show how to use d3 + mapbox (basically Leaf…

Creator of the project here, I was pleasantly surprised to find this on the front page! I'm glad people are finding the tool, it's been useful to many people I know. I want to make…

Hi, I'm the creator of this. Would you mind giving me some more detailed feedback at enjalot@gmail.com? I'm actively working on making the first run experience better. I consider i…

Yeah, the purpose of this tool is to cut out the command line, which is a sin to many advanced developers but a blessing for many beginners. A big part of my motivation is to be ab…
