This is a good example where the "feel" of data can really vary by a simple chart change - from pie chart to bar graph.
While the 🥧 pie chart looks like 3 roughly-equal groups of people, the "didn't vote" group jumps out in a 📊 bar graph
Same data plotted below: barvpie.netlify.app?numbers=31.5...

This opening quote really caught my eye:
"Meta, the parent of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, is the second-biggest driver of internet usage globally. Its properties ... account for 10% of all fixed and 22% of all mobile traffic."
Amazing how one company can account for so much traffic.

Few people even know about this; when people are asked in surveys how child mortality has changed the majority says it has stagnated or increased.

I received an email notification from Medium.com this morning that someone just left a comment on an article I published a year ago that got a whopping 17 views in that timespan.
Amazing how the internet works, but it made my day 😀

Anyone else here use PyCharm?
Recently, I noticed that it is sending vast amounts of something back to its servers while I am coding. It seems related to its code auto-complete. #databs

First post on Bluesky. I posted a couple months ago on LinkedIn, wondering how others were using LLMs as part of their coding workflows because I never could get the hang of it.
