Si vous êtes allés à l’Hôpital du Sacré-Coeur-de-Montréal dans les derniers mois, vous les avez peut-être vus: des immigrants payés 10$ de l'heure pour nettoyer au CIUSS-du-Nord-de-l'Île-de-Montréal. Ils étaient embauchés à travers l'agence Groupe AMS.

Big news! Thanks to the support of Prix Michener Award and Jean-Hugues Roy, I'll spend several months building code-like-a-journalist.com, a free, open-source online data analysis and visualization course using JavaScript/TypeScript. So happy! So grateful! 🙏

I've been exploring the rivers buried under Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal along with Laura Lynch. Our radio documentary is now out! 🎧Listen to the latest ep of the podcast CBC What on Earth or via CBC: cbc.ca/listen/live-ra…

I played a bit more with these 1 billion rows of data and tested the Parquet file format, focusing only on ingesting the data. Wow! The files are smaller and faster to load. 🤯

The one billion rows challenge with simple-data-analysis.js! Computing the min, mean, and max per city from a CSV file with 1,000,000,000 lines (13GB). JavaScript. 🤟

Did you know there are ancient rivers buried under Canadian cities? Discover where they flow under Toronto, Montreal & Vancouver in my latest project for CBC News with Emily Chung

Very very very interesting. Thanks Rom Grk!

While simple-data-analysis was already fast, the latest version is... even faster thanks to DuckDB's latest optimizations. In the test, we computed the average daily temp per decade and per city. Screenshot from the Github repo.

It's getting up to a balmy 8C in Montreal today. That's 12C above normal! And the last 30 days were 4.2C above average! You can compare other Canadian cities here: newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2023/… Interactive project by Naël Shiab

J'ai eu la chance de parler avec la magnifique Madeleine BlaisMorin cette semaine. 😊 Merci de m'avoir accueillir!

Radio-Canada's Ça Nous Regarde was kind enough to welcome me on their show to talk about the data analysis I did with Naël Shiab

I've been *swimming* in data lately (sorry, sorry). Here's my latest with Naël Shiab: Quebec just lifted the veil of secrecy around water use, our story dives in to the numbers to reveal which industries are pumping the most H20. cbc.ca/news/climate/q…

Salut Éric Mauvière 🇺🇦! J'ai lu tes très intéressants articles sur DuckDB. Je pense que tu vas trouver ça intéressant aussi! En tout cas, je suis bien curieux d'avoir ton avis. :) => github.com/nshiab/simple-…

Congrats to all those ending the year with major version releases 🎉 Looking forward to all you'll ship in 2024!

Adding geospatial capabilities to simple-data-analysis. 🤓

🥳🥳 Published simple-data-analysis@v2 🥳🥳 Thanks to DuckDB's incredible work, it's now crazy fast to crunch data in JavaScript. Chart below shows how long it took to compute the avg temp per decade for 700+ cities from a 1.7 GB file! Go check the repo! github.com/nshiab/simple-…
