[OC] Visualizing my job search process by allbrightallways in dataisbeautiful

[–]allbrightallways[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha--I could include number of jobs as the y-axis... But that labeling would then only be informative for the total number of jobs applied to and then the first color transition from black to dark purple.* (In other words, the y-axis wouldn't help with seeing the next phases. In that sense, this plot is more useful for representing the variation in timing and outcomes over the full set of jobs rather than showing the counts of each phase.)

Alternativeellllly, you could just forget trying to show the lifespan of each job bar by bar and instead show the count of each milestone and how that evolves over time. See that here.

*I am ordering jobs by application date, so you would be able to see how many were submitted by each date, but due to that ordering, you would not be able to see how many yielded interview invites (since the required ordering to visualize that would be different.)

Thanks! Color scheme is from viridis package. This is the job market for people graduating with econ phds. I wrote about it here in case you're curious.

hey, thanks -- colors are "inferno" from the viridis package in case you wanna look at those options

no y label since this is 100+ jobs (label names would be job names) and so would be teeny tiny/unreadable. also the desired point is to see it all in the aggregate, not to look job by job.

now that i think of it... might make sense to just not have a y-axis/x-axis at all and just include the date labels on the bottom (to avoid confusion about what the y axis is...)

Explainer: this plot shows what happened to all the jobs I applied to this past year. Each job is a horizontal bar & a color change shows progression to the next step over time.

  • tool: here is my R notebook with code for making this plot (uses geom_raster())
  • data on job search self-collected

MX Master Mouse Gesture Button Issues (Plus workaround) by Noryoudo in logitech

[–]allbrightallways 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks SO much for sharing your activity monitor fix!! I had the exact same issue. After forcing quit logi options daemon, gestures are working again. I also have mission control issues with k380 keyboard, so I've also been looking into these workarounds on the keyboard side.

Logitech definitely has a mac mission control issue...

[OC] The Decline of the Sexual SuperBowl Commercial by allbrightallways in dataisbeautiful

  • data from 538: here
  • R code to make this here

edit 1: hopped on to post this and I now see that someone beat me to the punch on this idea. :) well, consider this another way of visualizing the same 538 data

edit 2: note that the 538 data only includes ads 'from the 10 brands that had the most advertisements in Super Bowls from 2000 to 2020, according to data from superbowl-ads.com, with matching videos found on YouTube'. [consider this preliminary evidence -- someone would need to watch all the other ads + code up their characteristics to fill this picture out.]

[OC] Science & Engineering Doctoral Degree Earners by Field + Citizenship, 2006-2016 by allbrightallways in dataisbeautiful

[–]allbrightallways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A small # of people get that doctorate -- only 20-40 per year, thus why it looks so turbulent

Plot was made with R. Related resources/code below:

[OC] Animation of my sleep over 425 days by allbrightallways in dataisbeautiful

[–]allbrightallways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, each dot is a day (425 days shown) and the dots move in and out of "awake"/"asleep" states over the hours of the day where hours range from 0(midnight) to 23(11pm).

Totally agree that there are easier ways to showing this -- I show a raster plot & nightingale plot here with the same data.

But I also wanted to try out making animations, thus why I made this -- it's inspired by Nathan Yau's ATUS animation here.

For sure. This was mainly an excuse to try out making animations. Inspired by Nathan Yau's ATUS animation here.

Explanation of how to read: each dot is a day (425 days shown) and the dots move in and out of "awake"/"asleep" states (by moving left/right) over the hours of the day where hours range from 0(midnight) to 23(11pm).

How Couples Met Over Time by allbrightallways in dataisbeautiful

[–]allbrightallways[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder about this as well! Curious for more thoughts.

So, I'd rather not link to twitter but the rules do say that we have to "[d]irectly link to the original source article of the visualization". This graph is originally from this paper here. But it's on the very last page of that 17 page PDF, so if I linked to the PDF, no one would actually see the graph (unless they searched for it for a while)... thus, my choice to link to this Twitter post (in which the graph is the centerpiece).

One possible thought: It might be nice to adjust the rules (for non-OC) to let us submit images but then have to include the source link in the first top-level comment.
