🌡️ The recent #HeatWave in #Mexico has been intense, with cities like #Oaxaca experiencing prolonged periods of extreme temperatures. Here's a visualization I created about the number of hot and cold days. In 2024 104 out of 148 days (70%) were extraordinarily hot. #dataviz 📊
Charles Owens was a prolific mapmaker and illustrator that conveyed the international complexities of WWII in a way that was accessible to the average person. People at the time even saved his maps as a point of reference, such as this for the perils of the submarine warfare of the Atlantic and beyond in 1943.
(1/4) TIL about the plotnine library- the grammar of graphics in Python 🚀
I had never heard about the Plotnine library until I came across the Posit Plotnine contest (see the link below). The plotnine is a Python implementation of a grammar of graphics based on the ggplot2 library.
Here is a great resource for getting started with Observable Framework by Allison Horst. Observable Framework is an open-source JS library for creating dashboards. The sequence of videos covers how to set up a project and data loader, customize the dashboard, and deploy it.
Only few dozen lines added to variants #dataviz "rajdash" submodule—as #AnnoPlot dev stalled this week attending to family health emergency.
That and a surprise household issue will consume available spoons next week.
Final refinements of rajdash bolt-on to variants #datavis, and thereafter HHS capacity replacement & CDC flu tracking dataviz, will hopefully see movement in June, followed by long overdue North American fire/smoke/AQI composite map, and longer overdue NHTSA & CDCWonder analyses.
The End To End Data Science With R is a new book by Rene Essomba. The book, as the name implies, focuses on the core data science applications using R ❤️. This book covers the following topics:
✅ Exploratory data analysis
✅ Data visualization
✅ Supervised learning
✅ Unsupervised learning
✅ Time series
✅ Natural language processing
✅ Image classification
You can still see some trends, for example, people who use Ivory for iOS posted 49% of their images with alt text, compared to Mastodon's 17.8% for Android and 20% for iOS users.
But I am not sure if there is enough data to draw solid conclusions.
@NatureMC I'm intrigued to see that this site on global trade data, potentially very useful, is open source & developed from a student project: https://oec.world/en/resources/about
A couple of weeks ago I finished a beast of a project.
The interactive installation (titled InStability) is an artistic endeavor to demonstrate how seismic stations in Iceland detect earthquakes.
Visitors are invited to touch the map, triggering "earthquakes", and observe how LEDs, representing seismic and GPS stations, light up as the seismic waves propagate across Reykjanes peninsula.
