OSM has always overdone boundaries in my opinion, the raster tiles show national/international waters and electoral districts, which are of limited use for most purposes.

The nice thing is, that's just a style, not a property of the tiles. So if you want to alter the rendering, it's "just" a change to the style of that layer/attribute.

There's a ton of image recognition AI being used in the geo space, for segmentation and feature identification. It's just not LLMs.

SQLite + spatial (and specific metadata tables) is essentially the Geopackage format, which can be considered the modern equivalent of a shapefile. Which is to say, yes, SQLite has geospatial operations and they’re well supported by the ope

I prefer chirality for cats, they sleep either clockwise, counterclockwise, or possibly corkscrew.

I’d be stunned if my sites have as much as 1% non-bot traffic, even outside of the ones that are vaguely straddling the border between bot and Ddos.

Once, way back when, I ported eliza to $lang and hooked it up to my AIM account. All well and good till the boss interacted with it for a couple of minutes before twigging on.

I like them. Don't use pens much, used to be a bit picky, either fountain pens or roller balls or gel, but they'd always leak or be dry or not be ready to roll when I needed them. I had one Cristal pen that I managed to hold on to

(To be clear, child in question is now 20) The problem was coming up with enough to read that wasn't too scary when he was young. Even the Hobbit was rough. Harry Potter is downright scary. Book series were falling in a week. We never

My Grandfather was young during the Great Depression, and his relationship with money was much different than I can imagine. His idea of diversified investments was cash in several different banks. He just didn't spend money if he didn

Curious what the timing would be if it included the memory transfer time, e.g. matricies = [np.random(...) for _ in range] time_start = time.time() cp_matricies = [cp.array(m) for m in matrices] add_(cp_matricies) sync time_en

There's also adding a bit of Flourine to one of the Fuming Nitric Acids to make it easier to handle, because of the flouridation of the surface of the tanks.

Absolute classic of the genera At seven hundred freaking degrees, fluorine starts to dissociate into monoatomic radicals, thereby losing its gentle and forgiving nature. If the paper weren't laid out in complete grammatical sent

I bought a Saddleback wallet at least 14 years ago, and it's still in pretty good shape. There are a couple of stitches that have broken on the fold, but it's generally ok. Has a nice patina. Though, it's thick. Really thick.

Some ebooks that have extremely long chapters have very slow page turning performance towards the end of the chapter. (e.g. most of the Terry Pratchett Discworlds that are essentially one large chapter) There's probably an O(n^2) page

Across my sites -- mostly open data sites -- the top 10 referrers are all bots. That doesn't include the long tail of randomized user agents that we get from the Alibaba netblocks. At this point, I think we're well under 1% actual

Huh. Definitely wider than the M2.

by wiredfool 2y ago
Might be a difference, with the M4 marginally crisper, or a bit more haptic feedback. Or it might be that my M2 is on a stand and the M4 is on the desk. Also, the screen is totally clean. No dust or smudges.

Mine came yesterday. It's nice enough, and exactly what one would expect from a minor speed bump. Doesn't feel any different than my work M2 Air, though it's faster? It feels a bit snappier than the M1 Air it replaced, and f

Yeah, any of GeoPackage (sqllite db with spatial extensions), FlatGeoBuf, or GeoArrow/GeoParquet would be far better for querying.

So far, this is a minor stock correction coupled with unprecedented political uncertainty. In my lifetime, there have been multiple -10+% single day drops, one -22%, and a bunch of -10% months. In that time though, no one has questioned the
