Um bom exemplo da utilização de valores relativos em vez de valores absolutos

At a certain point, it was no longer a matter of if the United States would reach the gruesome milestone of 1 in 500 people dying of covid-19, but a matter of when. A year? Maybe 15 months? The answer: 19 months.
Given the mortality rate from covid and our nation’s population size, “we’re kind of where we predicted we would be with completely uncontrolled spread of infection,” said Jeffrey D. Klausner, clinical professor of medicine, population and public health sciences at the University of Southern California’s Keck School of Medicine. “Remember at the very beginning, which we don’t hear about anymore, it was all about flatten the curve.”

Olympians are probably older — and younger — than you think

There were some outliers in the old days, but even in Tokyo, athletes range from boomers through Gen Z
By Bonnie Berkowitz andArtur Galocha July 31
As you would expect, two-thirds of the roughly 11,700 Olympians competing in Tokyo are in their 20s. Prime of life, blah blah blah.
But the rest of the athletes range from two preteens to four 60-somethings, and the older competitors nudged up the average age to 27 for the first time since 1948.
Since the first modern Olympics in 1896, the wide range of sports has allowed for a wide range of sportsmen — and sportswomen, beginning in 1900.
A 10-year-old boy competed in that first Games, and several septuagenarians have suited up. (A 98-year-old sort of competed in 1928, but whether he counts is debatable because he was entered in the art competition and also was dead.)

Visualizing a codebase

Uma forma alternativa de visualizar uma árvore de pastas, com círculos
How can we “fingerprint” a codebase to see its structure at a glance? Let’s explore ways to automatically visualize a GitHub repo, and how that could be useful.WHAT’S IT FOR?“Fingerprint” the structure of a GitHub repoSHARE
Imagine this: you’re looking at a new codebase, and you want to find the code for a specific function.
For example, in the create-react-app codebase,How quickly can you find a test for react-dev-utils?

Um relatório com vários tipos de gráficos de comparação das etnias em duas datas distintas
The demographics of California’s communities are changing quickly. Take Alameda County. Today, the share of people who identify as Asian make up 32% of Alameda County — the county’s largest single demographic group. In 2010, that figure was 27%. White people made up 34% of the county back then. Now they are just 28%.

Repulsive Curves
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under materiais para profissionais, refs bibliográficas, visualização
Um trabalho muito interessante e com muito código sobre os melhores algoritmos para construir curvas que não se sobrepõem
Curves play a fundamental role across computer graphics, physical simulation, and mathematical visualization, yet most tools for curve design do nothing to prevent crossings or self-intersections. This paper develops efficient algorithms for (self-)repulsion of plane and space curves that are well-suited to problems in computational design. Our starting point is the so-called tangent-point energy, which provides an infinite barrier to self-intersection. In contrast to local collision detection strategies used in, e.g., physical simulation, this energy considers interactions between all pairs of points, and is hence useful for global shape optimization: local minima tend to be aesthetically pleasing, physically valid, and nicely distributed in space. A reformulation of gradient descent, based on a Sobolev-Slobodeckij inner product enables us to make rapid progress toward local minima—independent of curve resolution. We also develop a hierarchical multigrid scheme that significantly reduces the per-step cost of optimization. The energy is easily integrated with a variety of constraints and penalties (e.g., inextensibility, or obstacle avoidance), which we use for applications including curve packing, knot untangling, graph embedding, non-crossing spline interpolation, flow visualization, and robotic path planning.

uma representação original, circular, de um dia na vida dos americanos
By Nathan Yau
This is a 24-hour snapshot for a day in the life of Americans. Each ring represents an activity with a color. More dots means a greater percentage of people doing the respective activity during a certain time of day.
If you start at the top of the circle, you’ll be at 9:00am when most people who work are already working. Move clockwise, and you see the flows of the day. People break for lunch at noon, get off work around 5:00pm, shift to dinner and then relax. Most people are sleeping by midnight but a small percentage of people are work at night.
Focus on the inside rings versus the outer rings for a rough comparison between work life and home life, each with its own responsibilities.

relatório dinâmico com gráficos alto \ baixo
By Josh Bivens and Stuart A. ThompsonAug. 18, 2021Gasoline (all types)March 2019March 2020March 2021Used cars and trucksMarch 2019March 2020March 2021Airline faresMarch 2019March 2020March 2021
Here’s how the price of gasoline changed each month throughout 2019, compared with the previous year. ↑ Red means the price went higher, while ↓ blue means it fell.
The coronavirus gripped the United States by March 2020. The economy halted. Gas prices ↓ plummeted.
This year, things have taken another turn. Gasoline prices have increased sharply, ↑ up 41.8% by July compared with a year earlier.
It’s a similar story for used cars and trucks, with prices ↓ falling during the pandemic shutdown, then ↑ soaring as things reopened.

Bom relatório com mapa de pontos
By John Keefe, Daniel Wolfe and Sergio Hernandez, CNNPublished Aug. 12, 2021
The United States is more diverse and has more people than ever before, with much of the growth occurring in and around metropolitan areas, according to the 2020 census. By plotting the population onto a map of the country according to density and group, it’s possible to get a bird’s-eye view of where we live and how we identify.

aRtsy: Generative Art with R and ggplot2
Posted by Armando Brito Mendes | Filed under linguagens de programação, materiais ensino, materiais para profissionais, software, visualização
Um pacote para o R para criar arte generativa
“If you laugh at a joke, what difference does it make if subsequently you are told that the joke was created by an algorithm?” – Marcus du Sautoy, The Creative Code
aRtsy is an attempt at making generative art available for the masses in a simple and standardized format. The package provides various algorithms for creating artworks in ggplot2 that incorporate some form of randomness (depending on the set seed). Each type of artwork is implemented in a separate function.
Good luck hunting for some good seed’s! Feel free to post a comment with your best artworks and the corresponding seed in the GitHub discussions.
Contributions to aRtsy are very much appreciated! If you want to add your own type of artwork to the package so that others can also create them, feel free to make a pull request to the GitHub repository. Don’t forget to adjust generate-artwork.R if you also want the artwork to show up in the ‘Artwork of the day’ category and the twitter feed.
