The Great Wave, by Hokusai

@vlandham @SimonTAtkinson Great idea. It was fun trying to replicate this over lunch. (mostly I wanted update data ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ) public.tableau.com/views/SeriesHe…

@SimonTAtkinson A good idea. I’ll have to look at the scripts I made to see how easy that would be. Thanks for the push!

New experimental project - Create a heatmap of average IMDb ratings for any TV series! Just type in a name and see the ratings for each episode. vallandingham.me/seriesheat

@Christian_Adams I just used the Tableau Server API walk through (from Tableau) and it was my 1st time using REST APIs. Worked well and it’s in production! ( using Alteryx )

#datafam Are there any good tutorials (pref. video) for using APIs? Ones so basic, that the titles might be "So this is your first time using APIs...well buckle up for adventure!"

He is repeatedly hawking those "full pardons" as if they were Trump Steaks.

@Carnage4Life Clicking on Apple News links when you aren’t in the US.

a stat that never fails to horrify, because us political leaders refuse to address it

This was January 6th. This is not “legitimate political discourse.”

@gruber @richard5mith @ismh @stroughtonsmith My keyboard has a button for it. Even with Siri suggestions disabled spotlight has noticeable lag.

@richard5mith @ismh @stroughtonsmith So you click the Launchbar icon in the Dock, start typing the name of an app, and hit Return? Why not use Spotlight via Cmd-Space?

@TheRickWilson @BuryFascismNOW 😉

@jschultz how'd I miss this :)

Cheer up! The future is in excellent hands 🐦🔥nytimes.com/2021/12/09/tec…

@gruber @c_chep Yes, a stand alone Touch Bar that goes behind your “real” desktop keyboard.

@c_chep I don’t know how feasible it is, but something like Stream Deck: elgato.com/en/stream-deck

My guesses for new MBPs: — Slightly thicker bodies. — Slightly raised feet for cooling. — No notch. — SD card slot + HDMI port. — New MagSafe. — Touch Bar? I hope they replace it with something new, Touch Bar 2, not just a return to dumb F-keys. F-keys would be easier though.

In case you missed it. What's new in 2021.3 #tableau Relationships? (*hint there's a secret) I've been speaking @jonathandrummey & we've launched a short topics podcast: brief in duration, high in value, conversational dialogical learning. youtu.be/ZSac0Ql4gpY

Superb article by Fiona Hill. It’s a must read. The Kremlin’s Strange Victory | Foreign Affairs foreignaffairs.com/articles/unite…

@FILWD Notability has a filter to show you just the pages with notes 📝

Is there a pdf reader (for iPad) that has a mode to separately review the notes and highlights collected while reading? I don't want to top on the note to see the content, I want to see the content for all notes in context.

@ehansalytics @sqlsekou Many non-Office files to, Tableau for example.

@sqlsekou As an FYI - all office files work that way except for ACCDB files. I've opened Excel files and copied out hundreds of PNG files that were pasted in there.

Shoutout to the person who told me that I can change the file extension from .pbix to .zip and extract the content. You’re a lifesaver 😬

Here's your daily reminder that the European Track Championships are heading to Belarus, despite sustained human rights abuses and the country's president hijacking a plane to arrest an opposition journalist... cyclingtips.com/2021/05/the-st…

How to ask a technical question, if you really want an answer. A real answer, other than "it depends". I fully agree with the suggestions provided by @FerrariAlberto It is not about #netiquette, it is about efficiency. sqlbi.com/blog/alberto/2…

@GreatDismal On a lighter note, I’m looking forward to watching Johnny Mnemonic in a week.
