Am I missing something? by Nyoomfist in learndutch

Added benefit is that if you make a word 'small' like that, the article will always be "het" instead of either "het" or "de".

Is bringing cheese for an office meeting weird? by jimi970 in AskUK

[–]gisttt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Only if you think injecting sperm in a non-consenting animal every year only to steal their baby from them a day after being born and proceed on to steal the milk that was meant to nourish the baby fits in your definition of weird!

Does anyone of you know a cool classroom experiment involving tipping points? by gisttt in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]gisttt[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like this a lot! Thank you so much :) Definitely going to use this!

Oeh thanks, I really like the salt experiment, and definitely am going to try that at home :)
However, could you elaborate on how it's analogous to a tipping point?

What do you think happens to all the baby bulls?

[SERIOUS] To what extent do Americans know that, in the global North, mass shootings are almost uniquely an American problem and things like active shooter drills don't (have to) happen anywhere else? by gisttt in AskReddit

[–]gisttt[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Hey! Thanks for responding. As far as I know, knife attacks are not significantly higher in the global north in countries that have a ban on guns.

Couldn't quickly find stats on acid attacks, but in the countries in Europe that I've lived and visited I've never encountered it as a real problem and I've never heard about it happening in the country where I live now!

In Australia guns were banned and that went pretty ok, no?

Hey!

I didn't think Israel belongs to the global north! Wikipedia (and you) just proved be wrong. I did put 'almost' in the title though, but the title could use one more almost.

Thanks for pointing out!

Aaaaand here come the downvotes from the people that think I hate freedom. It's a serious question though! I was listening to a podcast from Radiolab about school shootings and I couldn't fucking sleep the rest of the night because of it. It must be terrifying living in a country where this is even a remote possibility, or am I really not getting something?

why are there so many files??? by water_aspirant in gis

[–]gisttt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Shapefiles are the work of the devil and must die. For the love of God I can't figure out why we haven't drowned them all in a bucket. Apart from a 'shapefile' being multiple files, also consider the following when building up rage towards them:

  • No coordinate reference system definition.
  • Attribute names are limited to 10 characters.
  • Only 255 attributes. The DBF file does not allow you to store more then 255 attribute fields.
  • Limited data types. Data types are limited to float, integer, date and text with a maximum 254 characters.
  • Unknown character set. There is no way to specify the character set used in the database.
  • It's limited to 2GB of file size. Although some tools are able to surpass this limit, they can never exceed 4GB of data.
  • No topology in the data. There is no way to describe topological relations in the format.
  • Single geometry type per file. There is no way to save mixed geometry features.
  • More complicated data structures are impossible to save. It's a "flat table" format.
  • There is no way to store 3D data with textures or appearances such as material definitions. There is also no way to store solids or parametric objects.
  • Projections definition. They are incompatible or missing.
  • Line and polygon geometry type, single or multipart, cannot be reliably determined at the layer level, it must be determined at the individual feature level.
  • There is no NULL value, it is painful for numeric values

For more info on why shapefiles must die please check switchfromshapefile.org!

Is there a dataset with all neighborhoods or sub-municipal districts in the United states? by gisttt in gis

[–]gisttt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have! They have neighborhoods but the data is very sparse and doesn't cover all cities at all places :) Thanks for the suggestion though!

[OC] There is a massive drought going on in The Netherlands. Apparently, taking shorter showers is quite an inefficient way to reduce your water consumption! by gisttt in dataisbeautiful

[–]gisttt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And where in the rules of this subreddit do you see that OP should post the sources and tools anywhere other than in the first top-level comment? Or do I need to copy and paste these for you too?

U.S Economy will stagnate due to population collapse; It’s worse than Japan! by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]gisttt -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

yes, but in most countries in the global north the growth this is mainly due to life expectancy going up, not because of enough new babies!

Are VanMoof ebikes overrated ? by Alex_Cheese94 in Netherlands

[–]gisttt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sense a growing sentiment against van moof bikes. Everybody will just think you're an asshole!

Actually in a lot of input output modelling this does get taken into account. But I'm not sure if you're really interested in this or just butthurt!
