Were you able to come to any conclusions with the data, or was it just for fun?
The credits are in the body post
I asked you a genuine question about the data you posted, and you just reply rtfm?
Maybe stay on reddit.
I read their reply less as “rtfm” and “I cannot answer that question because you asked if I came to any conclusions with the data, and well, I didn’t because this is someone else’s, let me credit them!” Although I agree they could have just posted the other person’s conclusions too, instead of just linking the Reddit source.
The original Reddit poster didn’t come to any real conclusions, but I can post everything they said relevant to the data:
The count can’t be 100% accurate but we’ve done the best we can: I suspect that we had some kids come back for seconds the first year and we didn’t catch it.
We’ve done full-size bars every year, added glow sticks last year and the kids have gone nuts over it. I like how it makes them more visible to drivers/etc., too.
Also, they are from
Puyallup, WA, housing development with many nearby.
More people on the Fediverse is good. I don’t want to tell people “maybe stay on Reddit”, discouraging them to use it and maybe making them feel unwelcome and unwanted when they are not being cruel to others or spammy.
Thank you for this nice comment
I did not mean it in an aggressive way, sorry if you interpreted it that way.
We don’t click on reddit links here. No offense
No offense taken, here you go: https://web.archive.org/web/20241105203556/https://old.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1gjm163/updated_trickortreater_log_excel_oc/
Added to the OP as well
I’ll bite…
The chart has color, cell position, and a number all encoding the exact same data (# of visitors) while, the rest of the data (temperature, weather, day of week) is included as footnotes or annotation. How is this beautiful?
Feel free to post content you find more beautiful!
It is aesthetically pleasing to me and I understand what’s going on. I’m no data scientist, so my standards on how to arrange data might be far lower than yours. If you’re interested in setting minimum standards for data posted here, that might be an interesting thread for discussion.
Must live on a busy street, most of those would be multi year totals around here.
