My daily driver is from 2014. Each time I spec up a new PC in line with what I want for data workloads, some spatial, and probably the odd bit of video work, I'm reminded just how expensive hardware has become.

These will be sold for parts, not whole units. Their location was likely heading out of country soon after they were stolen. They will be broken down, parted, and dispensed with before any authorities can act.

There's been a few writers where stolen phones have been tracked back to China where they are stripped into parts, with those parts then being sold on the grey market. Most of the parts are not locked to the device, with a few exceptio

I've been using it to help write python for some scientific calcs which I know that nobody else should be using on stack or github. Certainly not in the way I'm implementing them. Copilot is fantastic at predicting where I'm

Didn’t the Chinese successfully test a SODAMJET at the end of 2020 that enables flight of Mach 16 at some extreme altitudes, and requires little fuel as well?

By equal measure, who'd have thought the assassination of an Archduke and Duchess of two reasonably low priority places by a Bosnian student would have even been front page news. What precipitates from these issues isn't always cl

If that isn't the best summary of what I feel the conservative American psyche is at large, then I don't know what is.

Have you noticed any improvements with GPT-4 regarding the continuity and persistence if story and assets? In unrelated areas that feel similar I've noticed GPT-4 keeping track a lot better.

That's sounds pretty good, actually.

AWS has a large learning curve, for sure. I've been using it now for several years as an admin for some scientific applications that present web frontends to customers. A few notes: - for personal or small stuff I'd recommend Ligh

Ha ing been down a similar path, this whole thing works so much better if you don't 'import arcpy'. Licencing issues aside, you've often got faster tools in shapely, fiona, geopandas, rasterio, xarray.

We do similar. Works well.

In simple terms, what does Hotwire mean / provide?

One of the founders corrected my statement. Apparently you can self host.

by anakaine 4y ago
Well, I stand corrected! I was looking through the mobile site and didn't spot it. This makes me want to look a bit harder. When self hosting, do you gain or miss out on paid features?

EDIT: My following statement about self hosting is incorrect. You can, infact, self host. This looks wonderful, but the inability to self host is a killer from the solo developer point of view. Being limited to 50,000 database rows on the f

I'll second this sentiment.

I'm in exactly the same boat. Ive managed to keep inntouch with core tools on the backend, but frontend has just withered on the vine, so to speak. Learning all the JS stuff is just too hard when combined with back end, data, auth, lay

To add to the Australian landscape in this discussion: - only convictions are assessed against, not arrests. - only relevant convictions are assessed against. - most states expunge convictions after a certain number of years. Those convi

Delivery drones: groan. The most compelling use of an advancement such as this should not be so that we can fill the air with constant noise pollution. Drones are loud, noisy, intrusive things, and really should not be a delivery vector in

I was morbidly hoping to find a story about tech gone bad. A rogue AI or similar. What I found was yet another compelling reason to begin a mental health in the workplace discussion. I do not know what Intel offers in terms of support for t

If I have a larger say in regarding our next machine it will be something like that speed queen. Whatever the medium commercial units are. Easy to service and replace parts. Few sensors. A dirty water pump that can move hair and solids.

Generally speaking to set a CRS its: Right click on the vector layer > Set Layer CRS. Alternatively: right click layer > save as, specify in properties. There are geoprocessing tools to do the same. Sometimes the input data may not be

If you can, get yourself in front of an up to date version of ArcGIS Pro for a little while. The user interface will feel entirely different, and some people don't like it because it's different, but the entire package feels signi

Their server offering includes Linux. Their desktop version doesn't. Their target audience is large to very large enterprise. Their customer base is overwhelmingly windows based. They know this, so they've shrunk their dev costs t

ArcGIS online is absolutely not an alternative to ArcGIS Pro. Not even close. Nobody spending more than a small amount of time using GIS beyond being an end user is going to find online a worthy replacement for Pro. It's a publishing p

Keep in mind too that GDA2020 has an inbuilt calculation for drift and will keep your coordinates up to date as time progresses.

KMLs do not have a spatial index. Reading a properly constructed shapefile with 2m points is fine, and running a SQL query on it is also fine. Trying to do that with an xml based file is not fine. Each of the major GIS packages spends quite

Not in the GIS world of products they do not. They are thin clients for maps, not analytical tools.

In the vast majority of cases you cannot turn a PDF into spatial data, except for georeferencing it as an image. There are some exceptions, such as when the PDF already includes georeferenced vector data, but its very unlikely you had that
