Technically this is a type of phase diagram.

If you live in northern Arizona, you can go to this and have my eternal envy. This Saturday, FIVE young California Condors are being released into the wild at Vermillion Cliffs national monument, and the public can come see them fly! (It's also going to be livestreamed, which is how I will watch!)

Everyone’s going to be grateful for my explanation of satellite imagery data pathways if I make it look like a category theory diagram without actually using the notation correctly!
Decades from now, some relative of mine is going to be going over the old notebooks I willed to them, flip one open to the page where I doodled “Turgeneverending Story Musgrave of the Fireflies” and put them all in the nonrecyclable trash.

local newspaper has some CSS to make the text really small if you're not logged in and/or you've hit your article limit. but it doesn't cover <a> tags apparently, so articles with links make interesting erasure poetry
@tmcw Or more personally, things I use (and recommend) today that I didn’t 3 years ago: Obsidian, uv, tailscale, LSP, duckdb.
@tmcw C losing its social license for new low-level projects is probably by far the best and most consequential. Oceans of pain and waste saved, even at the cost of flamewars.
All ML applications aside, decent HLL GPU tooling is incredible. Doing with a couple lines of crisp python what used to take a page of CUDA is a big, big deal in all kinds of simulation, graphics, etc. (Admittedly you could date this as far back as maybe 7 years ago, so.)
Mastodon and Bluesky, warts and all.

Do you approve of the state of the software industry?
Eager to try this. Good example of an open software project building consensus, doing the funding work, and properly fixing a UX trouble spot.

Worryingly close to setting up a single-serving site that tells people to put spaces between numbers and their units. I’m surrounded by things like “a 5m gap” and “processing 15items/s” and I can’t take it much longer. Other than that I’m doing great.
Writing some tests and unfortunately they have turned up a bunch of bugs.

Did several big tasks so it's frog weights time as a reward! The Bronze Age Mesopotamians created a standard weight system for trade going from really small weights to larger ones. This weight standard lasted for at least 3000 years across huge chunks of the globe. Standard ones looked like this:
No judgment either way on this particular person – just as an example of the kind of hat I mean: https://sandiegomagazine.com/features/influencer-blonde-abroads-5-must-have-travel-accessories/
Also, Hilbert’s hat in the classic portrait makes him look exactly like the person you grew up with who was trying really hard to be a lifestyle influencer in 2018. Filmed from behind walking up to an overlook in Yosemite, etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Hilbert#/media/File:Hilbert.jpg
Difficult to explain how perfectly balanced Wikipedia’s portrait of Will Shetterly and Emma Bull is between (a) Troi and Riker at the midpoint of TNG and (b) and “We saw you from across the bar and really dig your vibe. Interested in joining our shared folkpunk universe?” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Will_Shetterly_Emma_Bull_Ddb_1059-35.jpg

Anyone out there using harmonized Landsat sentinel data? I'm finding some weird things where some assets are scaled and others not, is this a known issue? #rspatial #remotesensing
