A really fun dataset for this week's #TidyTuesday, looking at how people interpret different probabilistic statements 📊
There's so many aspects of this to visualise, but I decided make some barcode plots comparing how people from the UK and US responded. It seems we're much the same with the exception of may/might happen and highly likely - where our American friends are more optimistic!

Puisque j'avais remis en marche l'application d'analyse d'audience de chaînes Youtube pour la chaîne de Clément Viktorovitch (voir pouet cité), j'ai lancé dans la foulée l'analyse de la chaîne de @JLMelenchon

Under the Trump administration, two of the three major credit bureaus have sharply reduced the share of complaints they resolved in customers’ favor.
In 2024, Experian’s relief rate was 20%. Last year, that figure fell to less than 1%.

I tried #vibeCoding my election visualizations. #ClaudeCode did well, but considering that my #generativeAI assistant didn't have eyes or fingers, I had to give it a lot of guidance to make something readable and usable.

Hello world 👋
I'm a software developer, I like #dataviz, sports and using #opensource software, I will write mainly in english 🇬🇧 or deutsch 🇩🇪 .
I have a background in electronics & embedded systems, some experience with GUI development using C++/Qt and basic knowledge of data analysis & visualization.
In the coming weeks I have some spare time at hand, am looking forward to do some personal projects and learning Rust.
La visualización de procesos complejos es esencial para la alfabetización digital. En este análisis visual, exploramos la arquitectura funcional de la IA agéntica en 2026, contrastando su capacidad de ejecución frente a la mera generación semántica de años anteriores.
A través de este esquema, se evidencia cómo la IA ha integrado capas de toma de decisiones autónomas, transformando el flujo de trabajo digital. 📉

Most of us only notice the Internet when it breaks. But under the hood, thousands of routers are constantly negotiating paths to keep things running.
I wanted to visualize this chaos, so I built a live map of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP). I even included a "BGP Anomalies" dashboard, which has essentially become a real-time networking wall of shame. Just cross your fingers you don't see your own AS number sitting at the top of the list!
To handle the sheer volume of data (BGP updates can easily peak at over 30,000 events per second), I built a centralized engine in Go and used Ebitengine for hardware-accelerated 2D rendering. The backend processes the raw RIPE RIS stream, classifies the events into four severity tiers, and broadcasts a smooth 30 FPS render 24/7 to YouTube.
This map highlights exactly what the network is doing:
🔴 Route leaks and outages
🟠 Volatile links and BGP "babbling"
🟣 Routers "hunting" for backup paths
🔵 Routine network discovery
It has been incredibly rewarding to turn raw routing data into a relaxing, lofi experience. You can actually watch the Internet heal itself in real time when a connection drops.

One of the questions in our @rainbowR 📊 workshop, was "could you make the beeswarm chart interactive?" 🐝 The answer is yes you can and here's how: https://nrennie.rbind.io/blog/interactive-beeswarm-r/
Thoughts: "eases the creation of time-to-event (aka survival) summary figures with ggplot2"

One of my recent experimental projects has been combining maps with photography!
Made entirely in #RStats with a few tricky things:
➡️ Mapping images to a *good* transparency range to allow both map and image to show at the same time
📊 Auto-cropping to a *good* aspect ratio (both map and photo have different, fixed ratios)
🗺️ Choosing a background map that isn't overpowering
(Blog post coming soon!)
Inspired by #TidyTuesday & LGBTQ+ History Month myself and Kirstie Ken English are challenging people to produce visualisations using UK census data on LGBTQ+ people 📊
