Oh. So chord diagrams do not refer to music notation, here. My mistake :)

To make things even more confusing... https://imgur.com/a/vdzoKgF

Images illustrating (guitar) chord diagrams, and featured link describing (radial network) chord diagrams!

Now I want to make a chord diagram of chord diagrams with connections between shapes that differ on one string only...

I also want you to make this...

Please do. I would like it.

Would you say that Rust is an appropriate language for learning Machine Learning and Data Science? Does it make the learning of it simple, difficult, other?

I'm new to the three, and Rust is a language that I'm working on now as it (to me) seems that it will be around for a long time, like Perl.

Hi! I don't recommend using Rust to learn data science. Unless you're an exceptional Rust programmer, you may end up spending most of your time negotiating with Rust instead of putting data science concepts to practice.

The difficulty of the language aside, the ecosystem isn't ready yet... I've been keeping an eye on https://www.arewelearningyet.com/, I hope it's still up-to-date. For this reason, I would recommend Python for data science/ML.

I try to cover both Rust and data science in my book (https://datacrayon.com/shop/product/data-analysis-with-rust-...), but it can be tricky!

Thanks for being honest, there are too many people always saying "Rust is the best for everything!".

I like Rust a lot, but use the best tool for the job.

Sometimes the lines to the near blocks cross with the lines to the far blocks. https://imgur.com/a/VdfEQES

It would be nice to ensure they never cross, but I'm not sure how hard is that geometric calculation.

Thank you for highlighting that - I've created an issue (https://github.com/shahinrostami/chord_rs/issues/3) and will check it out when I can!

Really obnoxious pop-up ad that won't even go away when I click in the background.

Hi - I'll see if I can get it to disappear on background click (will check Bootstrap docs now).

In the meantime clicking the [x] or pressing [esc] will make it go away and not return!

edit: Done! I moved the popup further down the page too. Thank you for the feedback.
