Here's the latest iteration of the internet infrastructure map. This time it's an interactive map instead of a giant SVG.

I'll be dropping a blog post talking more about this tomorrow. You all get a bit of a sneak peek today!

My #Arctic sea-ice thickness and volume data visualizations were updated through May 2025: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-sea-ice-volumethickness/

#Arctic climate rankings are in for May 2025: https://zacklabe.com/archive-2025/. Low ice volume was the most notable statistic here.

Another #RStats + D3.js combination for this week's #TidyTuesday!

Data wrangling in R
Combining data from {historydata} and #ggplot2
Timeline bar chart + tooltips built with #D3

Code: https://github.com/nrennie/tidytuesday/tree/main/2025/2025-06-10

If you want to get useful work done with R—like making visualizations, automating reports, or building simple websites—this book shows you how.

No heavy math. No academic detours. Just clear, hands-on guidance for using R with tools like ggplot2, Quarto, and the tidyverse.

My monthly #Arctic temperature graphics were just updated for May 2025. No new records. See: https://zacklabe.com/arctic-temperatures/

Hi #dataviz people
You have given me great advice before so here's another question
Does a funnel chart like this always *have to* mean that each smaller set is a subset of the set above, like Russian nesting dolls?
Because that is not the case for all the sets here. In this case (counting from the top), set 2 is indeed a subset of set 1, and sets 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are all subsets of set 2, but after that the relationship breaks down. Set 4 is not a subset of set 3, etc. Does that make the funnel chart format a misleading choice?
(Please ignore the weird alignment of the labels)

"Eventually, I stopped responding to my body. I was responding instead to a dashboard." — @Daojoan

This is a great point and very much translates to so many other parts of life/work where people stop listening to their "body" (or to their org/product/offering), outsourcing/numbing/dumbing down their decision making based on dashboards of collected metrics and then changing their behaviors on auto-pilot to improve said metrics — without ever asking themselves if the data collected actually represents answers to the right (or even important) questions...

Metrics always invite comparison & competition — on a global scale — often without considering our own subjective contexts/needs/limits/aims...

Does the number of copilot prompts per day on a CTO dashboard indicate a highly productive developer or does a big fat zero merely show a different approach to problem solving?

Does the lack of constant updates to a FLOSS project mean it's become neglected/unusable or does it simply indicate it reached a level of stability?

Likewise, does my product/app need constant UI changes/updates to "streamline" user experience (often without even consulting users) based on some "goal" metrics?

Am I seen as an unproductive FLOSS developer if my public commit log doesn't show daily updates? Do gaps indicate laziness, illness, deep thinking or work on other projects? Like gaps in a CV, will these gaps of activity data hinder future employment chances or would I even want to work with orgs who select on this criteria?

Is a hike only good/better because it exceeds X kilometers or Y elevation meters? How does one measure the stunning views or the quality of the company which shared that experience?

Are you researching in #OpenStreetMap , #Feminism and #dataviz ? Do you create #dataviz using #Rstats? Do you have experience with #codesign?

If the answer is yes, we are looking for you! @twm and I are looking for a Part-time Research Assistant to join our #DigitalGoodNetwork project.

Excellent interactive piece on the physicality of data centres and their location in and around Dublin. Interesting conclusions and really nice visuals https://investigates.thejournal.ie/data-centres #dataviz #maps #datajournalism #ddj

Another sneak peek at the upcoming #gleo feature.
2-component vector fields are daunting (and GLSL is proving hard to debug when doing indirect texture fetches!) but the results are so good.
#WebGL #gischat #dataviz

Any SVG and CSS experts out there know about non JavaScript tooltips for SVG elements? Either styling title or foreignObject?

My MDN and ddg skills are failing me.
