@tjmahr Postgres preserves types, so int/int -> int. I multiply by 1.00 to get around this.

@eagereyes They’ve been called Medusa Charts. @tophtucker has thought a lot about them https://t.co/ZOwhSeomaM

Splurged on a fancy jigsaw puzzle recently. So in addition to everything else, I'm grumpy about how much of the earth's surface area is water.

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

awesome piece, but is Lisa Loeb's masterpiece really more recognized by people in their 20s and 40s than people in their 30s? Seems weird that anything would show up in that segment of the venn

New project: with 4m data points about songs people recognize, we noticed a pattern that often plays out on a wedding dance floor: a song might be a siren for certain ages and alienating to others. @matthew_daniels made a short comic about the phenomenon https://t.co/WaCDI3kwgM

I made a word game in @observablehq. If you get bored of NYT's Spelling Bee after finding the big word, maybe you'll enjoy. https://t.co/Ot7seTSm29

"1:00 a.m." < "1:00 p.m." < "1:01 a.m."...people like to complain about Excel's coercing everything into dates, but if it didn't, you'd see this kind of mistake all over the place.

I was angry about this D*tacamp thing. Then I googled their lawyers, and I became much much angrier.

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

made a pie chart in sheets today

[Elijah Meeks @Elijah_Meeks]

So last week I quit my job at Apple to be a cofounder at @noteable_io where I'll be the data visualization lead. I'm excited about diving back into the notebook space and building out a consumer-facing dataviz product.

@FrankElavsky About 4:20 hrs/day, with a spike in May (6:40) as listening to pop music has become the thing least likely to make me feel terrible about the world.

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

I requested my Spotify personal data and made a little vega-lite dashboard of my streaming history. https://t.co/l4VvTUOy3l

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

I wouldn't bet against CRJ just yet. Very into Dedicated Side B.

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

my spotify streams since the beginning of March

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

@jessfca I never listened to them before this year and they're so great! Wholesale Meats and Fish is my fave. Kay Hanley sings the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack too (watched recently, also highly recommend)

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

@tjmahr Lodash.js. It's great (although dplyr is better obvs).

[Alex Wein @alexwhines]

@W_R_Chase dplyr and Scott McCloud are the good stuff!! I definitely recommend Reinventing Comics and Making Comics too.

[Carly Rae Jepsen @carlyraejepsen]

So, yes there have been whispers and I'm bad at keeping secrets. Side B for DEDICATED is out now babies. I hope it makes it yah dance your pants off! I owe yah one...or like two albums turns out. ;)

For the record, I love all of you.

Carly Rae ♥️

finding Spotify's index of every song written by Julia Michaels has been a nice little quality of life improvement for me this week https://t.co/A5sgKWa4vU

Someone recently called a chart I made "beautiful". Vega-lite's default color scheme deserves much of the credit.

[Ivan Reese @spiralganglion]

One of our community members, Alex Wein, made this beautiful interactive visualization of the Future of Coding survey results.
