:: Additively weighted Voronoi diagram ::

I wrote this implementation many years ago, but I feel it didn’t receive the recognition it deserved, especially since it was the first freely available. So, better late than never—I’d like to present it here. It’s an algorithm for computing the Weighted Voronoi Diagram, which extends the classic Voronoi diagram by assigning different influence weights to sites. This helps solve problems in computational geometry, geospatial analysis, and clustering, where sites have varying importance. While my implementation isn’t the most robust, I believe it could still be useful or serve as a starting point for improvements. What do you think?

1. These data are publicly available, I just "rearranged" them in a database I created.
2. Understand these data as trends, not reality, there is billions of erotics comics/hentais out there and my database only hold 43 893 of them.
3. I am not a data analyst. These values do not hold a real value and I can have made errors.

I have a LOTS more data I can share like: most popular characters/parodies/tags, etc.

I do NOT encourage any of you to read erotic comics/hentais. I personally don't but I though these data might be interesting.

CPI taken from https://www.bls.gov/data/inflation_calculator.htm

I fudged the CPI calculation a bit because I didn't do the compounding monthly, but I ensured that based on the CPI calculator, the starting value of $11.99 -> $16.43 from January 2013 -> December 2024.

To be fair, I think CPI is somewhat bullshit, but it was the easiest .gov source for inflation data that I knew about.

Never taken one before, but thought this fit here.

Have you ever wondered if your keyboard shortcuts are set up optimally? Well, I did, so I decided to visualize it with a heat-map.

It proved to me that I rely on my left pinky too much, so I'll try to rework my shortcuts.

You can check out the project here, currently it only works on Linux.
