A radical wake up call for world overloaded with data and how data visualisation could be the answer. In From Chaos to Clarity: How Data Visualisation Can Save the World, celebrated data visualisation creator James Eagle reveals how our data-saturated age harbours hidden dangers that places humanity in peril. He looks at how masterful visual storytelling might be our salvation. Through vivid examples and profound insights, James Eagle exposes the data pollution clouding modern life, whilst demonstrating how thoughtful, human-centred data visuals can cut through the noise, sharpen our collective understanding and light the path toward a more discerning future. In recent years, I've explored how AI tools can enhance my own workflow. While the technology is still evolving, tools such as ChatGPT and Claude have already proven useful for analysing and refining datasets. I've even used it to write snippets or code or identify problems with my own code. Previously, I relied on Python – a coding language – to clean and process data, which could take hours to write and debug. Now, AI not only generates Python code automatically, but also uses advanced algorithms to complete these tasks extremely quickly, saving time and improving the quality of the final output.

Explore the world of systemd—yes, all lower-case, even at the beginning of a sentence— which is the modern replacement for init and SystemV init scripts. It is also much more. It can evoke a wide range of reactions from SysAdmins and others responsible for keeping Linux systems up and running. The fact that systemd is taking over so many tasks in modern Linux systems has engendered push-back and discord among certain groups of developers and SysAdmins. You will learn systemd’s strengths and weaknesses, and why there’s no truth in the myth that systemd is a monolithic monstrosity.Learn how systemd is the mother of all processes, and is responsible for bringing the Linux host up to a state in which productive work can be done. You’ll learn about the functions assumed by systemd, which is far more extensive than the old init program, and how it manages many aspects of a running Linux host. For Linux system administrators (SysAdmins) who need to or are already in the process of switching from SystemV to systemd.
