THE APA drank beer and kicked ass, they didnt need any illicit drugs to do that. Pure Spite and booze fueld them.

Well, rainbow tables are really valuable in certain disciplines, just not those rainbow tables

What if they’re rainbow coloured rainbow tables?

A friend once revived an email riddled with misspellings and grammatical errors from her boss that critiqued her (appropriate) use of exclamation points. Specifically, that appearing cheerful was not professional.
Some people just like to be miserable.

The most competent white collar workers I know use exclamation points to the near exclusion of all other pronunciation. This is wild

Not using colors in scientific writing is discarding a valuable information channel and therefore inefficient. When you are already limited in the allowed word count, this can speed up conveying information and reduce cognitive strain on readers (and possibly yourself). So it’s a win-win.
This should not end in chaos though, where colours are more confusing than helpful.
The times when we had to print out each and every single page on a crappy black/white office printer are luckily becoming more and more a thing of the past. So even this is no longer a good reason to not use colours.

Be sure to be careful and thoughtful in your color palette though because if colors are important to the understanding of information then it should be accessible.

I’ve only ever been academia adjacent and I’m glad. Some of the most soulless people I’ve ever met. It’s the lab grunts who know how to party. Until they have the life sucked out of them to meet some arbitrary writing spec for a journal

There’s nothing wrong with rainbow tables. Printing them sounds a bit excessive, though.

I’m beginning to think Faith shouldn’t have chosen higher education.

I do think a rainbow table would be welcome in Elementary Ed

Faith, what are you doing? Rainbow Tables are for the CS class!
BarbecueCowboy@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Haven’t been able to locate the definitive source, but there are several of these out there with Faith and Professor Kutaywa.
Believe it originates somewhere on LinkedIn, but very rare for a LinkedIn meme to escape the platform.

I understand that colors can color, heh, our perceptions but being a primarily visual animal means that we can digest information much quicker through color.
Without seeing the charts, I can’t say if the Prof is just being a curmudgeon or not.

According to the APA website, it’s more about accessibility and the cost of printing color vs grayscale

My masters thesis advisor would not let us use the word “that”. In his defense, 90%+ of the time, it’s useless filler and can be left out

Context, nao.
dandelion@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
the context is all there … Faith is a graduate student working on their masters thesis, in the thesis paper they included tables that they presumably color-coded (maybe different columns had different colors), and they used multiple colors such that it was “rainbow colored”.
Apparently the thesis advisor did not like the presence of color and advises using APA style guideline on how to style & format the tables: apastyle.apa.org/…/tables
taiyang@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Interestingly your link doesn’t mention use of color or lack there of. It does say elsewhere that you shouldn’t do it for decoration, though.
That said, things like this are more dictated by the journal you publish to and a thesis has to imitate that. Solution? Graduate and start a journal that requires beautiful color tables, lol

Yeah.
I usually colour code tables to draw attention to key areas.

Oooh. I use Rainbow Tables CSV extension in VS Code too. It’s a great help!

Yeah. My conditional formatting makes some of my Excel tables look like I’m defragging my harddrive.
