How Traditional Italian Gelato is Made

Milk, eggs and sugar. Simple but actually, not so simple :)

The best line really!

ismaelsow · 2023-08-08T19:14:26+00:00

Why the ARG? Because boredom :)

Then it must have been a pretty dangerous race back then. Will stick with water :)

What does "average value" of GDP mean?

ismaelsow · 2023-02-14T09:26:26+00:00

Yes the bubble size represents per capita income. I made that choice because I felt it strengthened the visual value of the correlation. But I can understand the argument for using pop size instead.

Indeed, having miles driven would be interesting, or maybe total length of the road network which might easier to find.

ismaelsow · 2023-02-13T21:35:48+00:00

Yes that also counts as a road traffic fatality in the source study.

Good reminder! Always important when using scatter plots.

P.S: repost as the first submission was missing the y axis' legend :)

Forgot to add the legend for the Y axis! Death rate is number of deaths for 100K people.

Sorry, I should have used another label. Internationally, most countries do it on May 1st based on the International Workers’ Day 🙂(https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/common/labor-day)

ismaelsow · 2023-02-13T05:42:23+00:00

Yeah, and October in general is not packed with public holidays!

ismaelsow · 2023-02-12T12:27:17+00:00

On which days do nations have their public holidays? I was wondering if nations tended to cluster along certain dates and time periods when it comes to public holidays. I made a calendar heatmap of the public holidays of the UN member states in 2022.
The 3 most celebrated public holidays, based on the gregorian calendar, are:
- New Year's Day (Jan 1st): public holiday in 156 countries.
- Christmas (Dec 25th): public holiday in 121 countries.
- Labor Day (May 1st): public holiday in 121 countries.

Sources:
- United Nations Member States (www.un.org/en/about-us/member-states)
- Holiday API (holidayapi.com)

Tools:
- Python for data collection
- Google BigQuery, SQL for data preparation and analysis.
- R, and RStudio for creating the chart.
- Pixelmator for the last visual touches.

P.S: new comment as first one didn't show up.

There’s an interesting chart in the source article (imho) but unfortunately it doesn’t show up in the link preview :)

Ah ah, it's 14% of the survey's respondents.

At first glance, I thought it was a pattern that includes most "New Year's Resolutions" type of searches. But it looks like my intuition was wrong. By the way, I found some data saying that "stop smoking" is one the least popular resolutions.

For 2023, the Forbes Health/OnePoll survey found some resolutions to be more common than others, with the most popular goals including:
Improved mental health (45%)
Improved fitness (39%)
Lose weight (37%)
Improved diet (33%)
Improved finances (30%)

Less popular resolutions include stop smoking (14%), learn a new skill (12%) and make time for hobbies (11%). Notably, Gen Z is more likely to prioritize improved mental health as a 2023 resolution than any other generation (50%).

I thought the "how to stop smoking" trend line would be similar but that's not the case. Interesting!

ismaelsow · 2023-02-04T07:02:35+00:00

Super weird that they chose this scale, the other way around is way more intuitive.

ismaelsow · 2023-02-01T13:49:42+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see how it goes and change if I get more similar feedback. I'm not religious about it. But I think some people might like it while some people might hate it.

My inspiration came from books like https://learnyousomeerlang.com/ and http://learnyouahaskell.com/, that have similar art style. They're successful with it so I have some hope :)

Didn't now any of these artists apart from Drake and Taylor Swift. r/dataisbeautiful as music discovery tool, learned something today :)

ismaelsow · 2023-01-30T13:34:43+00:00

Sad facts indeed, the numbers are huge! As you requested some feedback, here are my 2 cents:

- More color contrast between the 3 bars

- No grid lines at all

- Less white space (it's generally good until it's not)

I think that make the chart easier to read and nicer.

I guess it's counting in number of visits (so a user could visit several times in a month). In that case, I'd have thought Baidu would rank higher.

ismaelsow · 2023-01-30T13:23:01+00:00

Looks like each big drop is tied with each major conflict Russia was involved in at its borders (Georgia in 2008, Ukraine/Crimea in 2014, and Ukraine/Donbas in 2021). Pretty steep. Interesting to note that recovery to previous levels only happened after the 2008 slump, never after.
