This was a poor analysis of the data.

jeffhykin, in Data Science

The best part of this is the subtle implication that you can tell a million completely different stories with the same data.

Xariphon,

Having spent an unfortunate amount of time debunking bullshit statistics... yes.

NounsAndWords,

You just need to pick the pieces you want and discard/ignore the ones you don’t!

paraphrand,

And invent the special pieces you need to tell the story you want.

Where the fuck was that baseplate hiding?

ShaggySnacks, (edited )

The baseplate came from the green in the bar graph. As we know all, the base plate is the foundation for any major project. Regardless that the bar graph shows little green compared to everything else. Green is far more important and we should focus all our efforts on the color green.

In a major coincidence, green is the color of money and I am now moving into a bigger house.

Edit: The fact that I got upvotes for a poorly written post amazes me.

It shouldnt really just be high and low voltage.

Unless its fiber optics, then I assume its light strength? Hmm… Waves that are modulated… And now I fell down a wikipedia hole.

To be fair, only a mathematician would make such a shit joke.

It’s not great. But residency is where the villain arc begins.

this is so freaking good, I cannot tell you how often I am told I have all the data and I should be able to make xyz work

and I am just a recently hired systems administrator that has to deal with my bosses paper notes and the person I replaced lack of documentation

You look older than your profile picture

Not my fault. That’s how time works.

ChaoticNeutralCzech, in Data Science

I hate when computer scientists use “sorting” for “ordering”. It’s been mistranslated into other languages, too.

LwL,

sort, verb: “to put a number of things in an order or to separate them into groups”

stelelor,

I am very new to the world of CS but I appreciate precise vocabulary. Is my understanding below correct?

  • Sorting = Assigning each object to one category (“bin”).
  • Ordering = Like sorting, but the categories themselves have an inherent hierarchy/order (numerical, alphabetical, etc.)
ChaoticNeutralCzech,

Yes but people say “sorting algorithms” when describibg programs that put elements of a list in the correct order.

Wilzax,

Radix sort is truly a sorting algorithm though, it just results in an ordering.
