Absolutely understandable. Hopefully the next time it happens, I'm in that part of the world :P Great lineup, though.

The agenda looks amazing. What I wouldn't give to be there! Will these talks be available online after the symposium?

Ooh yes I think I know which ones 👀 Love that section and the dark mode too.

Sidenote: I love seeing another NYT game tracker on a personal site! How did you implement that for yourself? I have a custom form where we make entries daily manually, have you automated this data collection? Here's my games tracker :)

Hmm, relative difference! Yeah that might be it. I was a little surprised with that metric specifically, because I've been reading about public transit in NYC. In part since it was a big talking point in the campaign.

Yes, I agree that it is one of the views and annotating each could get unwieldy, but as I was trying to read more specifically about it, I couldn't understand why that was the done the way it was (see bsky.app/profile/aman...), which could happen to someone looking at another view.

Overall, public transport is higher throughout in the areas not on the NYT map. I'm just curious why it was done that way.

I think it's a great map with a clever idea to show breakdowns like this...but we should have better methodology explanations. "Areas where most people commute by public transit"; what is most? Where is the data from? What decisions were taken in what to show and what to exclude (blank spaces)?

Almost every other week for the past month, I have seen newsrooms write about or use this data. That is great, but also indicative of how badly such data was awaited in the first place.

Moral Board: Editorial on CBFC overreach and the shrinking space for artistic freedom
With over 720 hours of film content altered and no appellate body in place, CBFC’s unchecked powers stifle creative expression and reflect deeper State control over cultural narratives

Very nicely done. This is a niche compliment, but great job nailing the chart exports! Many standard implementations export as-is visible in the DOM, but it's nice to see it be viewport-sizing independent and beautifully formatted.

Thanks for sharing all these great updates from NACIS. I always have FOMO, being on the other side of the world, but this time slightly less so because I can go through awesome links thanks to all these posts.

But I mean this space has so many options, there's no one-true-way. However, worth looking into the micropub/sub situation and see if you're interested! indieweb.org is a massive rabbithole.

Awesome, is this a blog system rebuild? Just in case you're interested, I've been very into the micropub IndieWeb space and last month set up getindiekit.com on my VPS (just one of many micropub options). The nice part is that that site is installable as a PWA on my phone, so blogging on the go!

This notebook + web code also means that if you got a similar CSV in the same format as our one, with some tweaks to the notebook and shapefiles you could get this page up and running for any city you want.

For analysis, we use #rstats and write stuff in R Markdown notebooks, which, unlike Jupyter notebooks, are plaintext and nicer (like, by a few hundred miles). Svelte for making the site, SveltePlot and D3 for making the interactive charts. All open-source: github.com/diagram-chas...

Our analysis notebook lives in the same repo, where we can take in the CSV, do whatever we want with it (eg: prototype charts in ggplot), and output the condensed summary as a JSON. Interactive charts can read that data, and this can be kept up to date/changed without worry.

More skeuomorphic signs! HTML/CSS ftw, replicating their real-life counterparts.
