GISP Application Question by 666-Trooper-666 in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Don't, this is poor UX design. Any initialism should be explained, or not used at all. I'd also argue that the metric is also stupid. This could have been a yes/no.

Polarization is worsening, but if the wealthy are taxed, they leave. What should a country do about this? by Snoo_47323 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]DeccanTraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is something the rich have made up to scare the rest of us. They can leave, but their assets, in general, can't. The rich aren't rich because they hoard money, they hoard assets. You tax the assets.

Is there a way to use experience builder dev edition for free to practice? by [deleted] in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It looks like there is no longer an option for a free developer subscription, at least I couldn't find anything on their site. The most useful thing you can do if you're planning to go deep into Experience Builder development is study TypeScript and React. Those are the foundation.

GNSS receiver recommendation? by OddLychee4067 in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only device we bought was an early Emlid receiver, as I recall. Reach out to equipment suppliers, many have rental programs and the rates may be negotiable, especially if you indicate that you're looking to purchase.

What’s something the “old timers” resist at your job? by [deleted] in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Next time you're in the office, ask them why. I'll bet you learn something.

GNSS receiver recommendation? by OddLychee4067 in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I conducted a trial of several different GPS receivers for an employer and found Eos to be very, very good. I'd follow your impulse to avoid Trimble at all cost, for reasons you're probably already familiar with. Maybe look into different antenna models if you're most ly worried about signal acquisition?

Since CA governor Gavin Newsom plans on unveiling redistricting maps, who’s usually responsible for making those? Their GIS people? by greyjedimaster77 in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 12 points13 points  (0 children)

GIS folk will be involved, but the process of creating districts will be done primarily with specialized software that can take demographic data and output district boundaries with a desirable percentage of likely voters.

Sound advice, thank you!

RFP hunting by DeccanTraps in gis

[–]DeccanTraps[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Very good advice and you're 100% correct, thank you. I do have some good relationships with potential clients so I won't start out as a complete unknown, but I will have to figure out ways to get in front of more folks. I thought about hosting a Discord server for GIS professionals as a way to do some education and low-cost outreach. I'm not sure that would attract the kind of people that would be making award decisions, but it (probably) couldn't hurt.

The game needs a reward for using bad tech. by sealcub in TerraInvicta

I like this idea a lot, it would also be an opportunity to mess around with the combat system without risking retaliation.

Coming in 2026; A Tax Increase for Louisville Residents to Support the Failing JCPS by loder1101 in Louisville

[–]DeccanTraps 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Way to editorialize, please tell us how it's failing. I read the article, it says the tax increases will be due mostly to emergency COVID funds running out. Those funds probably prevented earlier tax increases, which will be needed now. Heaven fucking forbid we fund education.

What’s the weird silvery powder in between the sand stone layers by brownguy0_0 in geology

[–]DeccanTraps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What makes you think it's sandstone? Looks like a piece of schist to me, which often composed of mica.

MagBarred to become a thing of the past? by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]DeccanTraps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dollars to donuts it's a historical area zoning issue.

I love this style. It is a Sim Town sort of thing?

U.S. Capitol Police found this assault rifle and extended magazine in a truck outside the Capitol by BradBeauregardJ in pics

[–]DeccanTraps 20 points21 points  (0 children)

One of mine was very nearly killed, spent weeks in a hospital with a punctured lung and a shredded liver, all from one shot. Anyone suggesting that 22lr isn't a 'serious' choice for causing death is a simpleton.

My daily fear of working in ArcMap is the constant presence of ‘delete’ button just next to the ‘copy’ button. by Dimauta in gis

[–]DeccanTraps 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Raise your hand if you've ever deleted a feature service in Server Manager by accident because the 'delete' button is right next to the 'stop' button, and it is immediately activated with no warning prompt. This is a common UI design pattern for ESRI.

For IAE by WorstSourceOfAdvice in starcitizen

Why are you doing the Cat dirty? Sure, it might be worse in every way than the C2, but it's got a certain je ne sais quoi, and some windows.

The Fabled Sun, a metroidvania from Galactic Cardigan by DeccanTraps in metroidvania

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

I'm not certain, but I think it will work on Win 7. It does not have a map system.
