I went down a rabbit hole to understand our current tech and datasets about what the earth actually looks like structurally, and came up with this visualization. Would love some expert help with it, either from people who understand the data or from people who understand dataviz. But it's fun to play around with it.
Totally unrelated to the content (which was really great), I found it interesting that he shared his benchmarking setup as a _private_ gist (https://gist.github.com/surma/40e632f57a1aec4439be6fa7db95bc...) which is actually more like an opaque repository with multiple files.
It has forks, revisions, probably some tooling built around (git -> gist) but it's not indexed and can only be found by finding the link somewhere (in most cases).
Is this a more wide-spread recent pattern? Wondering what's the desired outcome in how it compares to just a public repo.
