For example: in the past, adding a property to a class meant adding several of: an ivar, a @property, a @synthesize, a getter/setter, and a release call in dealloc. Worse, renaming or deleting the property meant updating all these. This was error-prone busywork, and […]

On a previous post, I expressed my concerns regarding the results of OPTICSxi clustering. Namely, I mentioned an “annoying” spike effect, that turns out massively almost at any simulation (so massively that it is almost a “feature”). A post in … Continue reading →

In my previous post I plotted a map of London’s workplace (biological) gender divisions, which demonstrated some interesting spatial patterns of gender distribution across the captial. I decided to replicate this to get a more representative picture of how things look across the nation (in this case England and Wales given the extent of the […]

This is a more zoomed-out map, showing how the proportion of people stating they had no religion, varies around the the country. I’m using a ColorBrewer diverging colour ramp “BrBG” which diverges around the average value of around 25%. Turquoise areas show concentrations of large numbers of atheists. Live map here.
