Incidentally, I have no f*cking idea why the MWRA publishes the source data I used to produce this graph as many pages of tables in a PDF file (link at https://www.mwra.com/biobot/biobotdata.htm) instead of as a CSV or XLSX file or some other easily ingestible format, but I was able to easily extract the data from the PDF to make this graph by using the miraculous open-source software package https://github.com/tabulapdf/tabula-java which I just discovered today.

Giving my #coldbrew #coffee a little longer to stew (making it at ~7pm rather than ~10pm for my first hit at ~9am) has made it more effective and strengthened the taste a little too. #TIL

#TIL 语言代码（如 zh 和 en）中有一个代表「内容无语意」的代码：zxx。例如说，你在对录音进行标注，你听到了一声猫叫，你就该把这段录音标注为 lang=“zxx”。 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-3#Special_codes
