> The interesting pattern: the biggest clusters aren't where the shipping companies are. They're in Panama, Liberia, and the Marshall Islands, the world's largest open registries.

Genuine question, how is this interesting? Surely it just renders the data useless for assessing anything other than "what are the most popular open ship registries"?

Fair point. The dataset only has annual aggregates per vessel, no voyage routes or port calls, so flag state is the only geographic dimension available. The more useful part is the emissions data: CO₂ per vessel, ETS costs per company, and how the fleet changed from 2018 to 2024. The globe is the interface for exploring that.

There is nothing in the dataset that would require the use of a globe to visualize anything. You could have drawn this as bar charts and it would give us the same information (with the added advantage of not being limited to a few countries at a time). Or even a 2D earth map.

It just turns on my CPU fans and gives me no insights.

That's fair. Thanks for checking it out.

While we're sharing anti-war songs/poetry, I like And The Band Played Waltzing Matilda (originally written by Eric Bogle, but I personally like the Pogues' version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKURhqmSLmM

Another great Eric Bogle song is Green Fields of France.

I like this version by The Men They Couldn't Hang best :

Great song. I will check out that version. I first heard a version by The Furies.

The Australians have some incredible anti-war music. Redgum's /I was only 19/ is brutal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UYDKxxQ50o

My personal favorite is the song from the movie (not the show, haven't watched) M.A.S.H.

Or, perhaps, Vera Lynn's "We'll meet again some sunny day".

These are good movies to rewatch, especially in these interesting times.

The Pogues' version brings me close to tears, every single time. Incredible rendition.

I've often played this after Ralph McTell's "Maginot Waltz", which really contrasts the optimism and patriotism with the reality.

I used to play this on the street as a young lad, can't sing it at all anymore because I get too choked up to get the words out

My first thought reading this was "it's amazing what some people can get angry about".

I sure hated it when windows 11 dumbed down the explorer context menu. Lots of stuff I used to do a lot now took 2 clicks instead of one.

Luckily it can simply be switched off.

> On that topic, an honest question: what is the killer feature of banking apps that everyone is so hot on? Are we talking like retail banking or money transmitters? I am not using any bespoke banking apps, and I don't feel like I'm missing out, but maybe I just don't know what I'm missing.

For me, the killer "feature" is that I need to generate an auth code on my bank's app to be able to log in to my account and make transfers via my browser (or I can use the app directly). In other words, it's considerably more difficult to actually do (retail) banking without my bank's app.

Got it. That makes more sense, i.e., that you're essentially required to use it rather than getting something in addition.

As domh mentioned, some (not all) banking apps do seem to work well at the moment. My concern would be that what works today may not work tomorrow. My HSBC app seems to get more crippled with every update and it wouldn't surprise me at all if a future update rendered it unusable on GrapheneOS (which is the main thing stopping me from moving to it).

It's probably a pipe dream but I do hope that someone like Motorola officially supporting GrapheneOS will make businesses take support somewhat seriously. If nothing else you sound less like a crazy person when you tell your bank's customer support "I bought a Motorola phone and now your app doesn't work" than "I flashed a custom ROM to my Pixel and now your app doesn't work".

They do represent the original material, as interpreted by the illustrator. And Tove was hardly pissing on anything - she was commissioned to illustrate a version of the book by the publisher.

These are lovely. I knew about the Moomins of course but I didn't know about the other stuff she did, some of which I really like. I wish the website had more of the illustrations but I guess there might be copyright issues.

I'd be particularly interested in seeing more of her illustrations for Alice in Wonderland and The Hunting of the Snark (the latter is a great poem if you haven't read it: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29888/29888-h/29888-h.htm)

Does anyone here not know that ‘twas brillig, when the slithey toves did gyre and gimbal in the wabe?

Isn't that from Jabberwocky?

I don't know enough about these things to know why, but I have pretty much always had to hack $TERM to get things working smoothly with any remotely featureful terminal emulator. I have occasionally needed similar hacks for Kitty and urxvt, for example (though top and ncdu seem to work fine).

The way terminal applications handle different terminal emulators on Linux just seems to be a bit broken. I don't think it's a particular indictment of Ghostty or any one emulator.

I just checked Kitty and top fails on Debian 12, so I think I was unfair in just calling out Ghostty for this

Love these projects. Both the quantity and quality of the content added are really impressive.

Yes, I really like it. I wish they let extensions access it directly but it seems they don't (yet, at least). I'm also a bit surprised more hasn't been done to distribute it separately as a command line tool as I think something like that would be very helpful. I have seen a couple of attempts to put a CLI wrapper around it but they are third-party and seem to not be well maintained or documented.

Some one up thread pointed out about:translations is where it seems to be hidden.

Also a fan of this feature. It's actually been around awhile but I think the Asian languages are a more recent addition.
