Poll: Where do you live?

Re:Poll: Where do you live? by wongarsu on Friday February 04, 2022 @03:45PM (#30212911)

As percent of total responses, as of right now:

    'US: California', '10.87%'
    'Canada', '5.79%'
    'United Kingdom', '4.51%'
    'US: Washington', '4.45%'
    'Germany', '4.45%'
    'US: New York', '4.32%'
    'US: Colorado', '2.10%'
    'US: Texas', '1.97%'
    'US: Massachusetts', '1.84%'
    'France', '1.78%'

The US in total makes up 49% of responses so far (even though it is nearly 10pm in most of Europe)

Edit: quick and dirty one-liner to get the full table with relative values:

    data = [...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => [el.textContent.trim(), el.nextSibling.textContent.trim()]).sort(([,a], [,b]) => parseInt(b) - parseInt(a)); total = data.map(a => parseInt(a[1])-1).reduce((a,b) => a+b, 0); console.table(data.map(a => [a[0], ((parseInt(a[1])-1)/total*100).toFixed(2) + "%"])); us = data.filter(a => a[0].startsWith("US:")).map(a => parseInt(a[1])-1).reduce((a,b) => a+b, 0); `US makes up ${(us/total*100).toFixed(2)}% of ${total} responses`

Edit2: made one-liner even dirtier to account for counts starting at 1

Be mindful that the dataset is 1-indexed (i.e. zero votes equal a score of 1), so your script is probably a bit skewed towards non-US.

Good catch. Accounting for that brings the US up from currently 50.2% to 52.8%. It also brings California up from 11.75% to 12.86%. I updated my code above to account for that (having to fight the urge to refactor it to be more sensible)

It would be cool to see it relative to the population of the country.

Is there are reasonable way to do this on a mobile browser?

Maybe rewriting it as a bookmarklet that displays the results on the page?

Anyways, here's the current result in a pastebin: https://pastebin.com/fR89qMKk

I posted these:

Edit (this version subtracts 1 to see the real score and pops open in a new window):

  javascript:open().document.write('<meta name=viewport content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"><table>' + [...document.querySelectorAll('.fatitem table .athing')].map(el => ({place: el.textContent.trim(), score: parseInt(el.nextSibling.textContent) - 1})).sort((a, b) => b.score - a.score || a.place.localeCompare(b.place)).map(e => `<tr><td>${e.place}<td align=right>${e.score}`).join('') + '</table>')

Good tip, thank you. Bookmarklets work as normal(?) on Firefox on Android, and can be invoked via the address bar on Chrome:
