    They can have a little bit of sea, as a treat(y).

    Still, it is completely surrounded by Croatia’s claims, and located in the narrow Bay of Mali Ston that Croatia already has a bridge over, so if Bosnians get naughty again they can just turn their sea access into a lake just by dumping enough sand/clay/silt from the existing bridge.




  • VMs, too. You can use a bare Windows VM with just the 1 or 2 programs that don’t work under Wine, unless they are major ones like Microsoft Office (still, LibreOffice is good enough or you can use older Office under Wine). This will minimize what the closed-source operating system gets access to.


  • As Adobe gets increasingly shitty, more and more people realize they can go without Illustrator or Photoshop, often even After Effects. Lots of users got used to them with licences they didn’t pay for (at school or work) and often only use them for basic functionality, not wanting to invest the time to learn Inkscape, Krita, Blender etc. that would be adequate for their use case. However, the AI training fiasco might be the push they need.


  • Don’t forget the weekdays. The total births in the dataset by weekday are:

    SUN |||||||||||||||||||||||| 5886889
    MON ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 9316001
    TUE ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 10274874
    WED |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 10109130

    FRI ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 9850199
    SAT |||||||||||||||||||||||||| 6704495


  • The color scale hugely amplifies minor differences, see my other comment. In the dataset, 15 years (2000-2014) are represented and the weekly cycle is therefore present. This could have been mitigated by using a 28-year dataset. Here is how often each month started on a given day in the dataset. We don’t have colored text so I used emoji.

  • Here is a more believable chart, covering 62,187,024 US births (2000-2014) based on Social Security Administration’s data. The scale is not completely arbitrary on this one.

    Meanwhile, the post’s chart actual Reddit OOP is u/plotset, an account made to shill PlotSet.com, a data visualization software.
    They had this to say about the data:

    This data represents 4,153,303 US-born babies only between 2000 and 2014.

    Top 10 Most Common: Sep 12 (0.307%) Sep 19 (0.306%), Sep 20 (0.302%), Dec 19 (0.300%), Sep 10 (0.300%), Dec 20 (0.299%),Sep 18 (0.299%), Aug 8 (0.299%), Sep 26 (0.299%), Sep 17 (0.298%)

    Top 10 Least Common: Dec 25 (0.155%), Jan 1 (0.186%), Dec 24 (0.193%), Jul 4 (0.212%), Jan 2 (0.231%), Dec 26 (0.238%), Nov 23 (0.238%), Nov 25 (0.240%), Nov 27 (0.241%), Nov 24 (0.241%)

    Note that the “4,153,303” figure is bullshit. It is close to births per year but does not actually correspond to the sum in any of the 15 years, nor the average.
