Am I the only person who found the graph in the article a little weird? Wouldn't it have been more illustrative of the author's point (that the frequency of ums/uhs per minute was pretty consistent) to show a graph of ums/uhs per minute instead of total ums/uhs at any given time? (i.e. the graph should have been almost flat).


You're just asking for the derivative of the function he plotted.

Showing that the function is linearly increasing is the same as showing that it has a constant slope, in any case.
