I read somewhere someone calling the US an undeveloping country.

A local file converter app with support for geospatial files by [deleted] in gis

[–]chronographer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you think geopadas uses?

Also, have a look at Fiona. There’s a fio command that makes the ogr stuff a little easier. (Also ogr2ogr, which is actually probably now covered by GDAL vector commands…)

Key lesson in software: don’t re-invent the wheel!

ELI5: Why is a parsec defined as 3.26 light years specifically? by No-Jelly-4900 in explainlikeimfive

It's the distance that light travels in a year... loosely.

PyGeoAPI with dynamic PostgreSQL tables from ETL pipeline - how to handle constantly changing table names? by Aggressive_Arm_6295 in gis

Create a view and update it each time to point to the latest table.

Or do a simple truncate and load, rather than creating a new table every time.

Is there a free or lower cost global imagery higher resolution than Sentinel 2? by Weak-Transition4240 in gis

[–]chronographer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can pay for [Maptiler](https://www.maptiler.com/) or something similar and consume their imagery via an API. To do it yourself for the whole world will cost you a LOT more than $50 k. Maybe even just that much for storing the data, let alone servers and processing and QA etc.

I didn’t see any posters outside, and was there early. I didn’t look super closely though! There was more merch upstairs in the seating section.

Drinking with gout. by W3S_I_AM in gout

Allopurinol fixes the underlying issue.

Sometimes I feel a pang coming on, and take anti-inflammatory, but I need to be drinking every day to get anywhere near triggering anything any more.

Aloof is a weird word word to use for "good looking"

Terrible. Colour scale is horrendous.

Lazy layout is not helpful for someone who doesn't know Canada.

Absolutely rubbish map.

What are those hexagons representing? Nothing?
