The math is often behind me, I just try to visualize what I can. So I don't know how interesting this would be to you, but these folks are pretty good at math and trying to figure out what's going on in the latent spaces: https:&

I hadn't seen it, looking at the API it seems like it could be pretty straightforward to drop it in and see how the projections look.

Author of the project here. Definitely appreciating the supportive comments. I'd be happy to answer questions folks have and am very interested in what kind of data folks end up visualizing with it!

one thing I love about DuckDB is that it supports Parquet files, which means you can get great compression on the data. Here's an examples getting a 1 million row CSV under 50mb and interactive querying in the browser: https:/&#x

it is alacart and baked in at the same time! This article breaks down the API in graleater detail. https://medium.com/@Elijah_Meeks/d3-is-not-a-data-visualizat... All of the functionality in d3 is split up into smaller

I think this article does a great job breaking down the d3 API and answers your question in detail “D3 is not a Data Visualization Library” @Elijah_Meeks https://medium.com/@Elijah_Meeks/d3-is-not-a-data-visualizat...

I think this is why it is necessary to fund "searching for problems" research. We don't need to solve the 1970s vision of computing, we need to solve the 2020s vision of computing, whatever that may be.

Don't forget that programming languages get more abstract and hence more powerful with fewer lines of code. RealTalk has functions you can call to get the physical location of a piece of paper and being based on Lua makes it much more

It is a general purpose computing platform, with lots of utilities for programming in a physical space. All of the surface area becomes a display, you can render using inches instead of pixels. In it's early stage there are still many

I was pointing out the repeated use of "guy" by the parent. It implies that only men work at the BigCo. Certainly the use of guy is cultural, but it derives from a male dominated work culture. (also I used the wrong "there&qu

I would advise your grandma to go to the genius bar at an apple store, just like I might advise you to go to legalzoom or some other easily approachable service for business and accounting. The point isn't to start the most successful

This problem has been weighing heavily on my mind since reading The Second Machine Age. The first thing I've read that gives me some hope for finding a solution is Rushkoff's "Throwing Rocks at the Google Bus" I highly r

I think your second point is the real open question that should be explored deeper. Your first point however is harmful and patronizing. If you can find coding answers on stackoverflow you can certainly google for information on opening an

Does this mean you intend to update your existing examples in place? It might be nice if you forked them with v4 instead to create a defacto upgrade guide. I know many tutorials reference your examples and it might create more confusion if

A lot of Chinese students learn to read and write English perfectly but can barely speak it because of the way it is taught in Chinese schools. Learning to speak requires practice speaking as well as hearing, and there arent enough teachers

Hi, I'm the creator of this. Would you mind giving me some more detailed feedback at enjalot@gmail.com? I'm actively working on making the first run experience better. I consider it "functionally complete" for my Kickst

Yeah, the purpose of this tool is to cut out the command line, which is a sin to many advanced developers but a blessing for many beginners. A big part of my motivation is to be able to teach people d3 without having to teach them about the

Thanks for the constructive criticism! 1. You got it spot on, I wanted to keep a tight coupling with bl.ocks.org. Personally I spend most of my time in side-by-side mode which is probably indicative... 2. This one is a struggle, I want the

by enjalot 11y ago
thanks! I'm shifting my focus to blockbuilder.org because it's compatible with bl.ocks.org, the defacto standard for sharing d3 related code examples. I've applied a lot of my learnings from tributary to this new project, and
