It took me a lot of work to clone this chart from @owenlhjphillips in Observable Plot, d3 and HTML. It's still not perfect, but it's available here: llimllib.github.io/nbastats/… and I'll make it live throughout the 2023 NBA season
A "diamond plot" with NBA teams ranked by efficiency on both offense and defense. It's different than a traditional chart because instead of having the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical, it's turned 45 degrees so that the best overall teams appear at the top of the chart and the worst overall at the bottom

I predicted this years ago, t.co was always an awful idea

Also at risk in any Twitterpocalypse, a critical piece of archival infrastructure: the Twitter link shortener. Every link anyone has ever posted on Twitter has been shortened to a t.co link. Only Twitter’s systems know where that link goes. Link rot at scale.
This thread is outstanding. The design space between monoliths and microservices is large, and you should not consider it an either/or choice

Said goodbye to my 16 year old brown dog Beckett tonight. I wrote her a little eulogy last night. Give your pets an extra treat tomorrow for her billmill.org/beckett.html
Beckett Longdog Woodmill was a great companion for a long time, and she will be sorely missed

My brother wanted a gif of a classic "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" scene, so now I'm inflicting it on you ./ytgif.bash -whisper-large -v -start 19 -finish 27 -scale 500 -gifsicle youtube.com/watch?v=UQ26GjG6… catapult.gif github.com/llimllib/ytgif

I added the `-whisper-large` command because oftentimes the large model does a much better job than the normal model. Next up I need to cache it more intelligently, because it can take quite a while to run.

- The Cavs look to be for real - the Bucks are a defensive juggernaut - the Mavs with Wood are scoring bunches - the Lakers have an incredible defense balanced with one of the worst offenses of all time llimllib.github.io/nbastats/…

and the Celtics can't blame all of this terrible defense on the lack of Robert Williams, they're going to have to figure it out if they want to be a top seed
This article on metabolism is excellent, I wish we had more articles re-explaining scientific concepts like this newyorker.com/science/elemen…
"When an atom poised to give up an energetic electron gets close to a neighbor eager to take it, that electron rolls from the lip of one bowl down into the other. In falling, it releases energy. However abstract this may seem, it is the very essence of life. Photons careening from the sun bang into electrons in chlorophyll in plats; a series of chemical reactions transfers those energized electrons from one atom to the next, until eventually they are stored up inside the sugars or starches in fruits, stalks and seeds.

JLess is a really great program for exploring giant json blobs, which is something I have to do pretty often: jless.io/ there are lots of great new terminal apps these days

I upgraded to the Mac Ventura and, for my workflows, literally nothing changed. Only thing I noticed is that video game controllers work better now
