i’ve only worked with fairly small data sets thus far (nothing requiring regular expressions or multiple machines) but it’s pretty dead on.
i’d like to note that the second one in particular, data “munging”, is no joke. when i did the sex charts, the craziest parts were filtering the data over and over again. since it’s hard to comprise a consistent table from various unrelated people about their entire sexual history, it took a lot of elbow grease. that means by hand and with pen/paper.
it went something like this:
- receive filled out survey with a tabular list of experiences + associated data.
- sort them chronologically
- sort them by year > month
- sort them by overlaps, for each individual month (for mult. people)
