Probably the worst data visualisation I’ve seen this month.

That’s a double cheeseburger. That’s smart.

Double meatballs? Nothing dumb about that.

Thiel terrifies me more than any other human on the planet.

Colour theory in data visualisation - barbellchart I’ll take you through a basic explanation of colour theory, how it can be applied to data visualisation, and how you can use it to build an effective colour palette of your own.

Just finished a blog on using colour theory in data visualisation.

I've seen a lot on accessibility, use of colour for categorisation, divergence etc. but I think this plugs a gap.

After - I kid you not - 36 takes (!?), this is now v2, with 83% less muttering, 34% less confusion and 4% less robotic monotone.

Gonna get good at this, or die in the attempt! 🤣

Took a pic of this last time I was in London. Feels like it belongs here. We Brits are ungrateful shits. I’m sorry.

SQL Window Functions - FIRST_VALUE - barbellchart Video tutorial on the FIRST_VALUE SQL window function.

~ #datafam FEEDBACK REQUEST~

Leaping WAY out of my comfort zone here, into a world of CRINGE!

Building a website for my portfolio and some (yikes) tutorials. First attempt linked below.

Help me get better at this?

Thx!

Who’d have thought voting corrupt, thick, greedy, racist Russian fifth columnists into power would be problematic? 🤷‍♂️

While making thousands of people redundant. By SMS. In the middle of the night. After many had relocated and uprooted their lives to return to office.

Meanwhile, Bezos has enough wealth to give each of his employees a $100k share of Amazon and still have $100,000,000,000 for himself.

+1 for great analogy 👌

Finally had a legit business use for a Sankey chart. Fun (albeit time-cosuming!) to build in Tableau.

Neither side, very much. If your 'side' gladly watches Donald Trump abuse his wife, I want no part of it.
Gladly, enough of people for today.

Another calculated dog whistle. Like the Pope meme. In a strange way, I'm more horrified to see Melania abused openly, without comment or care, than the chaos he causes in the world. At least people stand up to that.

Same. I’m in a pretty good place now but still read his posts every day. I miss Abbey Road. Wish she could’ve known how much she helped me and countless other people.

Thank you for bringing comfort in dark places.
Fare thee well.

I'd never noticed the 5th Beetle on Abbey Road before.
Doodling makes you look closer.

Finally seeing that I needed to set that boundary was one of the most painful/crushing realisations I've had. Actually setting it? Probably the most difficult thing I've done as an adult.

Brilliant! Thank you!!

Is there somewhere else to get these? The week 21 challenge still isn't up on workout-wednesday.com/latest/

Damnit, didn't link to the dashboard! 😆

This week's Workout Wednesday technical challenge. I found this tough - MUCH prefer prepping data in SQL to trying to model it in Tableau. Felt like I was fighting poor data structure throughout, e.g. using MAKEDATE to get months for the line chart. Just felt... wrong.
