Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    I think pie charts are also helpful for when you have 10 categories but two of them make up 90% of the result.

    But your bar chart preference is noted, so I’ll try to make sure to include them along side pie charts 🙂

      Poor data visualisation is a pet peeve of mine and I’m disproportionately vigorous when talking about it ;-)

      Especially after a few drinks with dinner.

        Haha one of my pet peves for data visualisation is graphs that don’t start at zero. I get sometimes the movement is too small to visualise properly when you start from zero, but you can’t probably understand the scale if you don’t start at zero.

        I bet you’ll argue with me on that!
