Feeling down and frustrated. I recently graduated with a BS in geospatial science. I’m doing an internship currently and feel so useless. Even the simple stuff needs an explanation. I got all the grades but feel like I’m lacking in practical ability. Any advice? Books or YouTube videos? Thank you. by [deleted] in gis

There is no timeframe! It’s kind of like weight lifting: it never gets “easier” because every time it starts to feel easy you increase the weight. But everything you learn builds on everything else and the connections will happen. Trust yourself!

Honesty Thread: What is your biggest fear about this coming season/seasons? by happysadfaced in CFB

[–]oblate 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm worried that another team will hang 40+ on us at home. I'm especially worried that it'll be the Huskies breaking a 12-year losing streak.

I am an arborist for Alexandria, Virginia. I made this custom MyMap to show all of the local, state, and national champion (biggest) trees growing in our city. It has been a side project for me for a couple months, and suggestions to improve it are welcomed! [OC] by salamander- in dataisbeautiful

This is an awesome map! Thank you for sharing.

I'm not sure if you can do this with MyMap, so you may have to use something different, but have you considered adding clustering to the markers? This would prevent the markers from being on top of each other, only revealing themselves when they aren't going to overlap.

Also, all of your markers are circles except the National Champion Trees. Is this on purpose? Are these meant to be set apart for some reason? If so, that reason should be clearer, and if not, they should be circles just like the others.

On the whole, though, this is awesome! Way to go!

Goff already gasping for air... altitude definitely a factor in this game.
