The bad boy of bar charts: William Playfair (2023)

news.ycombinator.com Mike Woodward 2025-08-30 01:29:31

A spy, a scoundrel, and a scholar William Playfair was all three. He led an extraordinary life at the heart of many of the great events of the 18th and 19th centuries, mostly in morally dubious roles. Among all the intrigue, scandal, and indebtedness, he found time to invent the bar and pie charts, and make pioneering use of line charts. As we'll see, he was quite a character.

Cavill’s been the only casting we’ve known about for some time, but now we know his former movie dad, Russell Crowe, is along for the ride. Per Collider, Crowe will play a “key role” opposite Cavill, who’s still expected to be playing immortal warrior Connor MacLeod.

I’m not typically an iPad fan, but the M4 iPad Pro changed my mind

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-09-02 11:15:44

For the longest time, I had believed that purchasing a new iPad at full price never made any sort of sense. Ultimately, you’re paying more than an equivalently spec’d MacBook, for less capability. It always felt like iPadOS was the key limiting factor for the iPad, not the hardware. However, I’ve now owned an M4 iPad Pro for nearly a year, and I can confidently say it’s changed how I feel towards iPads. And that’s before factoring in all of the great new features in iPadOS 26.

But that doesn’t mean the 2026 lineup won’t bring significant shifts in how the front of the iPhone looks. Here’s what may be coming. A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo today says the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will stick with the same display sizes as the current iPhone 16 Pro series: roughly 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.
