[03/24] 18h01 (French time, that is)? Time for the third riddle of the data advent calendar! Let's hear it from you then

Guess the movie hidden in this chart : A line chart with x axis time and y axis distance and a curve going from zero up

[1/24] And here's the first one! As suggested last year by @visualisingdata.com, give your answer as the alt text of an image answering this post so people can keep guessing!

I'm back from the dead and you know that can only mean one thing: the data riddle advent calendar is back!! One riddle every day around 6pm (Paris time), a movie title hidden in a chart... Will you play along this year??

Here’s a question I get a lot:

> “Now that AI can generate front-end UIs for us, what’s the point of learning CSS ourselves?”

I think there are lots of reasons, including that you can use AI much more effectively if you understand CSS yourself.

But is that actually true? Let’s discuss. 🧵

agreed, this is awesome!

That list is so long already! Amazing 😍

Here you go! Now you can scroll through all example thumbnails on one page. svelteplot.dev/examples

Nice, looking forward to it!

For real, if you're on Bluesky and you are using Svelte (or are interested in getting started), you *need* to subscribe to @paolo.ricciuti.me's Svelte feed: bsky.app/profile/paol...

To me it's like there's a Svelte experience before Bluesky, and a totally different one after subscribing.

Ah, yes, *that* Confucius quote 😅

I'm sure you have good reasons and I first and foremost want to thank you for all the great conversations you shared with the dataviz community.

Thank you Andy!

Wait, what? It will end? Noooooooo, what a tragedy!

You have been producing this series for such a long time. Thank you!

And you are so good at hosting (my #1 association, your guests responding with "That's a really good question! ").

Are you comfortable talking about why you are ending it?

New 'Explore Explain' episode!

I chatted with award-winning Liuhuaying Yang from the Complexity Science Hub in Vienna about her unique data visualisation ‘Not My Name‘, which explores the process and components of translating Chinese names Pinyin.
