Data Dowels only really work if you have some sort of hologram version of Microsoft Powerpoint, I think.

Honestly not a bad outcome if they're going to insist on putting all of those variables into one graph.

AreWeDrunkYet posted:Honestly not a bad outcome if they're going to insist on putting all of those variables into one graph. There's essentially no benefit to displaying it as a 3D column / dildo made up of stacked pie charts rather than as a 2D column made up of stacked two-coloured bars indicating the gender ratio. The way they've done it here, if the gender split in a course is over 1/4 or 4/1 the yearly gender variations are on the back of the 3D column and are completely invisible. The line below the column indicating the proportion of applications as a percentage of the overall number of applicants in the country is also really pointless - there's no benefit to displaying it as a line rather than as a numerical percentage and it's not as if it's attached to the pie chart stack anyway. It's just a fairly standard format for displaying demographic data, made worse by making it with pie charts for some reason. Like, it's just a worse version of one of these charts, just swap age for year of application:

I disagree; I think this makes it much easier to see at a glance how the proportions change. In the bar graph, does the male-female ratio increase or decrease as you go down the graph? I would have to bust out a ruler to tell. In the pie chart version, it's obvious that the blue/female section is growing as you go down.  The line below the circles is definitely pointless, and the circle diameter is worse at showing the total size compared to the bars, but it does much better at displaying the change in the male-female ratio over the years.

The way to sort that out, IMO, is to mark on the lines where the median value is.

Always have to love it when the independent variable (time) is the Y-axis. And oriented downwards. Edited to add source: https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-florida-could-go-blue-in-2020/ Powered Descent has a new favorite as of 19:14 on Jul 27, 2020 |

Powered Descent posted:Always have to love it when the independent variable (time) is the Y-axis. And oriented downwards. Yeah, I read that article earlier and my brain went into soft-lock when I saw that first vertical segment. Like, it'd be a badly formatted graph with any data set, but when the very first thing a reader sees scrolling down is something that wouldn't make sense on any normal line graph, it's baffling on how it made it past the editor.

I agree that’s a pretty good graph.  It would be much more egregious to show left/right-wing political leanings on a vertical axis. So you’re basically forced to put time on the vertical axis in this case. Whether time should move up or down is more debatable but I prefer it this way, to match calendars.

tbh i am mostly surprised there were still "bitcoin is the future" articles being cranked out in 2018. i thought coiners had all converted to just trying to scam each other by then

"A bored, distracted, uncollegial, irresponsible" Supreme Court justice, as well as "rude, ice-cold, hot-tempered, ungrateful, foul-mouthed, self-absorbed" and so abusive in "treatment of his staff to the point where his law clerks—whom he described as 'the lowest form of human life'—took to calling him "shithead" behind his back." Posner asserts also that "Douglas's judicial oeuvre is slipshod and slapdash"
