@artcollisions WIth literally zero sarcasm or ill intent, why does this news need a CW?

nicolemark,
@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@artcollisions If, for instance, a person earned MICA's very expensive dataviz master's degree. But whatever. I will remove it. Bluesky is more fun anyway.

@artcollisions I am 99.99% for CWs but this one is dumb, sorry. Now that Bluesky is inclusive, I'll likely leave Mastodon anyway. A serious consideration for the instance, though - you risk alienating everyone who's not humorless with this sort of over-enforcement. I promise that's all I have to say about it. Have a great Friday!

In other news, I've wrested control back over my website. Sometime in 2022 my jekyll installation failed, and I tried many times to troubleshoot it to no avail. This week's workshop was the impetus for me to finally make the jump to Quarto, which took quite a while. Lots of pages to migrate and translate... I know it's still a mess, but at least it says 2024 in the footer! www.amelia.mn

I am having a hard time enjoying my home, good meals, and family togetherness in a time of war when so many people have none of these things.

I made decent progress on my Iron Viz project today. Very excited to have occasion to use a unit histogram AND a scatter plot. 🤓

Hey, folks! Just one more day left to vote for my data visualization in the Stats+Stories contest! I’d appreciate the support! 🙏🏼 https://statsandstories.net/voting

Client: I love the new charts! And cool statistics! I know we’re on the 7th iteration, but could we just get a toggle to turn on magical fairy dust? The customer really wants it. Oh, and an icon that spits out hundred dollar bills when you click on it. Then I think we’re all set!

I flew too close to the sun. I dared upgrade my internet service, which required a new modem, and now my setup is all jacked up. 😭

Any devs in the house? I’m getting unpickling error A, which I’ve never seen before. I searched StackOverflow already, obv. It’s esp hard to troubleshoot because it’s in a Jupyter notebook environment controlled by my professor, so I can only change certain parts of the code. TA wasn’t much help—told me to install pickle. 🤦🏼‍♀️

nicolemark,
@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@kimvanwyk @kleaders We are all required to be using the same version, and I confirmed that with them.

nicolemark,
@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@kimvanwyk @kleaders We’re all on Macs except one of the other people who couldn’t unpickle the file. They’re a pretty smart and diverse group, experience-wise, so I feel confident at this point that there’s an issue with the file.

nicolemark,
@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@slott56 pd.read_pickle, which I’m certain on the syntax of, doesn’t work either 😕

nicolemark,
@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@slott56 Thank you for trying to assist. I’m going to be in touch with my professor on Monday.

@nicolemark@vis.social avatar

@eichin @willmcgugan Thank you! Regardless of whether that narrows it down, I’ve learned several new troubleshooting strategies that I’m saving for later.
