I have a video doorbell with both a chime and wireless hookup. it was very difficult to install

you’ll be needing a dc transformer

and to be prepared to read lots of simple diagrams like this

all BI charts end up looking the same, but why?

it's because we're normally doing the same thing - discrete dimension on X axis, continuous measure on Y

some musings on continuous vs discrete data

- basically all dimensions are discrete, except time
- basically all measures are continuous, except counts

@duckdb-gsheets.com v0.0.5 is now live!

big news with this version is now you can force duckdb to read EVERYTHING as a string with the all_varchar flag

we also welcomed a new contributor to the project in this release - props to Michael Harris for all the new features!

the caveat here is hilarious…

so what is the intended purpose here?

in this case, i’m using it to distinguish orientation of the bars

prior art

this is quite good but i feel like:
1. the first question is too subjective
2. there are charts here that no business should use (radar, pie, surface plot)

was interested to see if I could extend this to create a deterministic way to choose a chart based on your data:

- how many dimensions?
- discrete or continuous?
- how many values?

etc

this is my first attempt - what did i get wrong here?

just shipped - you can now query APIs from @evidence.dev sources

I used this to make this cool app using US housing index data from fhfa.gov in 80 mins and <100 lines of markdown

proud of myself for tracking down a gnarly bug by learning

`git log --online --graph`

it's not often that the github UI fails me, but if you are looking for a bug in a large feature branch, then its chronological commit view can't help you (and wont show >250 commits in a PR)
