  • I don’t think we “need” a trend line, nor adds any true value at the moment. But that does not matter for our discussion we have.

    The line does actually represent the trend correctly, even at the end. Trend lines are like averages, they are never correct at any given time in the sense that they do not represent the current value. Even if there are huge fluctuations at the end, the trend tries to smooth it out over long period of “time”. It is only misleading, if you expect the line to represent the current value. But that’s not the point of a trend line. Usually trend lines are not overlapped with real values, as it looks confusing. Trend lines are there to simplify the look and to see a trend immediately over longer period of times.






  • I see. My assumption was you had a problem with a certain application, and my reply was from that viewpoint.

    I 100% agree that Python programs relying on binary programs can be really complicated. In fact one of my projects requires a third party binary program to be installed, but I do not build it from source and just require it to be available on the system. And I encountered lot of issues when trying to create AppImage and sharing in certain environments. Actually this made me learn Rust, so I have a real compiled language in my repertoire for future projects when needed.
