I’d say it’s the norm in much of Europe for starters…

Looks interesting! I’m discouraged from using mermaid and D2’s online playground for privacy reasons and have hand on my roadmap to get a local editor. This might be it! Does it support theming of mermaid diagrams, I noted the style keywords were in the roadmap still.

What is the purpose of those animations? If I could use them in a presentation where I click through a diagram adding things as i click and their connections being animated for highlight then sure. I don’t really like the example where the text changes in you link, the whole diagram jumping around just because a text changes seems like something that would be annoying. So I guess you would need to render everything and keep some things hidden until activated?!

As a side not, I would love a proper Swimlane-diagram. I think you have all the building blocks with your ability to nest things in flowcharts, just need to force-align some boxes in different swimlanes and align the lanes themselves (and probably a lot more behind the scenes).

Interesting! I feel I’ve been kinda foggy in my head since I quit smoking a year or two before covid and it then got worse with the pandemic. And I’ve felt there’s been more effect from a night out with party smoking than just seeing an old friend. Might need to try my own home grown snuff when it’s done and not just give it away.

There are quite a few. https://guides.library.columbia.edu/geotools/R I mostly used sf at uni and also preferd it to QGIS in most scenarios. Far from a pro user though.

If only MS copilot was an actual co-pilot in my daily flight of work… but no, it cannot actually draft an email, create planner tasks or book meetings. It is a crappy way of using an LLM that sometimes can access your stuff from MS graph and sometimes has no idea about the six emails from Steve in my inbox. And no, its PowerPoints are not good either, they are LinkedIn in ppt-form.

Wild that I was daydreaming earlier today about generating some diagrams with mermaid to show the plot and characters over the lifetime of a tv series!

Being a friend of one of the developers I’ve heard about this while it was in the works, but now it is officially released. 50k hours of parliament debates and other sources are at the foundation of it. Article in Swedish only but I guess the crowd here can solve that. Hopefully it becomes the standard model in places like MS Teams as their current model can’t handle dialects particularly well.

And how low of a tax they pay compared to SoCiAlIsT countries where the tax also takes care of health related things… It seems deeply ingrained they’d rather pay a 1000 bucks for themselves and not risk helping someone else rather than pay 100 bucks that someone else might also benefit from.

Falling asleep with nicotine patches on results in wild dreams so it clearly screws up something in the brain!

Another strength of R, albeit via the tidyverse-package, is in data manipulation. It excels in taking some misfit, human friendly, pile of excel-sheets with implied relations and turning it into rectangular data sets that can actually be analysed. Sure there are faster alternatives if you are doing big data, but if you need versatility R is a good friend.
