I wrote a book review of "Geopolitics at the Internet’s Core" by Fiona Alexander, Laura DeNardis, Ph.D., Nanette Levinson, and Francesca Musiani. It initially seems to be a dense technical history of Internet Protocol—that constellation of technical specifications and social agreements that makes the internet work. But this would be a profound misreading.
What Alexander, DeNardis, Levinson, and Musiani have actually written is something far more elegiac: a cenotaph for a bygo…

Make interactive ggplots with {ggiraph}: #ggplot #dataviz

I did not know about ggplot_build() before. It can come in handy in situations where you want to access computed metrics of a #ggplot. https://ggplot2.tidyverse.org/reference/ggplot_build.html…

Build ggplot for rendering. — ggplot_build
build_ggplot() takes the plot object, and performs all steps necessary to produce an object that can be rendered. This function outputs two pieces: a list of data frames (one for each layer), and a panel object, which contain all information about axis limits, breaks etc. The ggplot_build() function is vestigial and build_ggplot() should be used instead.
