I made a graph of every home run in MLB history and used it to discover interesting players, home runs, and stories from baseball history. youtu.be/LtJxJqAqt0Q

I used data analysis to try and find the weirdest place in America, and it led me to an unexpected journey. youtu.be/Xc1RavGRn5o

@danielkidd04 Glad you like it!

Thanks for the fire poster @adumb_codes

...comment on the video. He ended up creating a cool interactive site to visualize this with a few articles, which you can check out here wikipedia-philosophy.pages.dev

An interesting fact that never made it into my Wikipedia video is that if you click the first link in an article, and then repeatedly do that with all subsequent articles, it will almost always end up leading to the Philosophy article. This was pointed out by @ThisIsJaco in a...

Here’s a little side project I did for fun this past week. It’s a clock where the time is the score from a past sporting event. Inspired by the experimental clocks from @puddingviz adumb.codes/projects/score…

@WaffelPlayzZNEW Generating the layout for the graph took around 4-5 days I think. Once the layout was generated it would take anywhere from like 10 minutes to a couple hours to create the png depending on how may links I was trying to graph.

@adumb_codes hey quick question about your (great!) video: did rendering(plotting) the graph also take multiple days? Doing something similar right now, and some napkin math shows plotting the entire dewiki graph as a png takes roughly 66 hours lol

Oh god what have I done, Fanta Cake has already been edited over 40 times in the last 2 days. At least they fixed the self link and it's not an orphan page anymore.

@ChuckReynolds Yeah I just parsed the wikitext, I hadn’t looked too much at the enterprise dumps, but honestly it might have been better in hindsight

@adumb_codes i see... did you end up parsing wikitext then? The Enterprise dumps and Snapshot API have HTML already so wondering if you knew about that / used it... if HTML would be faster/better for your stuff. Feel free to DM; don't want to bug ya too much but lmk if you can :) Cheers

I created a graph of Wikipedia and did a deep dive to understand its structure, as well as find some of the most interesting, weird, and unique articles on the website. This is what I found. youtu.be/JheGL6uSF-4?si…

@ChuckReynolds I used the Wikipedia dumps

@adumb_codes still watching it but that's a cool video. For data did you use HF or dumps or wikimedia Enterprise APIs?

@s_goril Sorry for the late reply. If you’re still having issues you can DM me the details and I’ll try to work it out.

Fun weekend project. Used genetic algorithm-generated keyboard layout and @danielsaidi’s KeyboardKit to play with optimised keyboard layouts on iOS More info about the algorithm behind the keyboard layout youtube.com/watch?v=EOaPb9…
