Henry Ford: Ah, in fact—

Kubernetes: Let me stop you right there. What you really need is 1,000 horses that die randomly.

Hey @thomasp85.com @teunbrand.bsky.social, I created a chart builder built on top of #ggsql: plotr.org. Sort of the ggsql Esquisse version :) Would love to hear what you think! It's still very much experimental though.

I think about this comic all the time.

Comic by drawer of drawings on Instagram. A detective stands in a kitchen that looks like it's splattered with blood. The detective says, mother of god. Nothing human could have done this. In the bottom panel it says, earlier. And there is a dog uneasily holding a ketchup bottle with its paws trying to put ketchup on a hamburger.

Hey @thomasp85.com @hadley.nz why do we see black rectangles on heatmaps when we select only x and y? What was the motivation behind it? I was talking with colleagues and we all agreed this is such a nice feature to quickly know if there's an intersection even before selecting the 3rd variable

I am excited beyond description to lift the veil on what we have been working on in 2026: Please meet ggsql! A new extension of the SQL language for creating visualisations using the grammar of graphics. Read all about it in the blog post or visit the website at ggsql.org

You can test new tech ideas using the Seinfeld Test Would the product eliminate the plot of an episode? (Google maps, cell phones, paypal, battery packs) Good tech. Would the product inspire new Seinfeld plots? (NFTs, AI chatbots, crypto currency, blindboxes, metaverse land sales) Bad tech.

Extremely upset that a throw-away XKCD joke somehow became the organizing principle for the Internet.

Stack of blocks labeled, all modern digital infrastructure. A ratchet tipping over the entire stack is labeled AI. A load bearing pillar is labeled unpaid open source development. Another label is AWS, and Cloudflare and Unpaid Open Source Developers.
