I thought you worked for the government? I have seen worse charts come from the government.

Yes but I, personally, am a professional. I don’t settle for trash. Besides, drawing it might be close, but not exact.

You trust Bill Gates to make it exact? How do you know he doesn’t half ass it in Excel and tell your vaccine to make you believe it’s exact?

AI has automated everyone!
You can upload stuff into Chat GPT 4 like pictures, data or whatever. So it will photoshop shit for you, make charts from the data and even interact with the web. In this one video, Pakoon’s graphic design shit is automated, Jerry’s recipes, Zeppelin’s graphing failures, Tigger’s math, all the IT dudes’ programming, etc. The plugin thing is going to be interesting to see what people develop.

I hate how much this resonates with me:

Whenever I’ve quoted a job based upon an engineer’s estimate whose work I know, I have always multiplied the estimated time to completion by four.
I’ve been off at times because I failed to estimate the time to completion by six.

Nerds, to me!
I have an Excel line chart plotted, but want to add a static line to it. By static I mean the value is the same across all 12 months, so its just a straight horizontal line. If I do x-y with y being the value, and x being the dates, it doest draw a line, it just plots the one value at the first date. Now this is because I dont have the corresponding table built with that static number running across all the date value, its just too much work
I think i’'ve done this before years ago, but I also used Sigma Plot back then so maybe not.
Dis blue line

da fuq - can’t afford a sharpie?

The below is a semi-regular occurrence for me when programming which is maybe part of why I like it.
An hour ago:
“Fuck. This is the hardest problem I’ve had. Maybe I’ve reached the limit of my capacity to understand abstractions and form a mental image of the problem.”
A short time later after fixing it:
“I grow more powerful than you could possibly imagine.”

Tigger Jr had his first programing meltdown on Wednesday…
Everyone around him told him to welcome to real life. -
I bet a bowl of ice cream will help.
