Interesting parallel on this side of the pond with MLB pitching: www.si.com/mlb/2023/05/...
There’s a Science Behind More High-Velocity Pitches, But There’s Also a Cost
With athletes becoming stronger and better trained, the rise in pitching velocity began as a gradual evolution. But there has been a stunning leap forward in the past four years. Here’s why.

I was in a weird slot, right between genX and Y, graduating in June 2000, right as the dot-com bubble was bursting. My 3 sons are graduating now (yep, we started early), and boy do they have it way harder than I did. Cost of living, instability, AI-madness in recruiting & job search, layoffs.

Still just a theory, but yeah, we’ll take it. Glad @duvekot.bsky.social surfaced it - I was shocked too, Francis. Either way, it shows neither term has grown in search more than what “dataviz” used to be, for one reason or another. For the record, I stopped using either term, & use the full version.

So, in a nutshell, search for our favorite craft may have been overwhelmed by search for a company that made software for Palm Pilot back then. SUPER reassuring…

Also, if we compare the drop in relative search interest in dataviz to the rising interest in the full phrase “data visualization,” we see the topic itself has been on the rise.

Fascinating, and sobering, right? I have a theory though. There used to be a popular company called DataViz, Inc. that made products for Mac and PalmOS back in the late 90s and early 2000s. One of its applications was bundled with Apple products, but discontinued, and eventually sold to RIM in 2010.
