For some reason, this morning is the day I've (finally) decided to take some time to actually learn #git in a more systematic way than my current approach of googling as I go along and inevitably forgetting how I solved the last problem... 🙈

I enjoyed reading and answering the quiz questions of the W3 schools tutorial (w3schools.com/git/) and I'm grateful to the #Stackoverflow peeps who have asked the same silly questions that I've been asking myself and to the kind people who patiently answered them. Now I know that "origin" doesn't have a particular meaning, it's just an alias for a URL and that there is a system to the use of one or two dashes in git commands (okay, I could have admittedly worked that one out by myself but trial-and-error served me just fine for the past few years... 🙃).

www.w3schools.comW3Schools.comW3Schools offers free online tutorials, references and exercises in all the major languages of the web. Covering popular subjects like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Python, SQL, Java, and many, many more.

Anyone who is blind, or who has worked with the blind, knows how expensive our technology can be. This couldn't be more true with relation to braille displays. Even the cheapest costs at least $799, and it's already behind the newest in that line, at $899. This is the Orbit Reader 20 and 20+. Now, a student in India wants to change that by creating a display that is truly affordable (under $50)! Please pass this on, so that we can give him greater recognition within the blind community. Even if it costs a bit more than he initially suspected it would, there is no excuse for the $2,000 to $5,000 average price of such technology when cheaper alternatives can be designed! He is determined to bring this to market, so let's help him do it and show our appreciation for his hard work on this life-changing project!

It’s important, when you’re making graphs, to think about the story you want to tell with the data, and what type of graph, and what features of the graph, will help you tell that story.

Likewise, when you’re looking at someone else’s graph, we all need to apply that critical data literacy and look at the scale on the y axis, as well as checking the labels, finding out the origin of the data, and considering whether the graph is accurate, a valid way to display that data, and what story it might be trying to tell you.

A screen shot of a graph labelled XBTUSD Curncy, with the y axis starting at 80,000. The graph starts at close to 83000 and wanders up and down for a bit, before trending downwards and then dropping sharply to 80000 right at the end. The caption says "Graph showing Bitcoin plunging."
