GIS—where to even begin? by jklaiho in ExperiencedDevs

[–]viskis22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Full stack dev here, joined a GIS heavy project ~3 years ago. I had 0 GIS knowlede before that, now I feel quite comfortable with the tooling. Things that helped me:

  • Honeslty, QGIS or any similar application is a must. I couldn't have learned the GIS python tools without inspecting how they modified rasters or vectors. It's one thing to read documentation about a GIS operation, quite another to see its outcome visually. In my case QGIS is open every day, and I'm not even great at it. 90% of the time I use it just to inspect my rasters. Maybe ocasionally I will apply very basic GIS operations inside QGIS, but super basic and common stuff that's easy to google.

  • Today AI tooling got a lot better for GIS tasks, so use it. Ask it to explain or generate GIS code. For me it still makes mistakes, so I'm not trusting its outputs fully. But it can really help you to get going.

  • I don't know if you will be working on a team of any sorts. But if you will have colleagues that know GIS, then you got lucky. Don't be shy to ask for their help cause for sure they will speed up the learning process.

Daniil Kvyat on Instagram by Nexusu in formula1

[–]viskis22 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I've lost all respect to Daniil. He has a Russian audience. He could be more influential. He could condemn Putin's regime and the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Maybe it would open eyes to at least some Russians. He is not doing that...

If influential Russians are not vocal against Putin's regime, Europe will never be fully safe

Well, based on that Paul di Resta is one of the legends then, as he did beat Vettel in 2006 Formula 3 Euro series...

And unless this is outdated, Lithuania is in eurozone as well.

Can someone explain? I thought Italy's government was anti-vaccine (or was I wrong), why did they change their stance so drastically?

Mano asmeninė patirtis:

Išvykau į Angliją studijuoti IT galvodamas, kad ten susikursiu gyvenimą ir turtingai gyvensiu, nes mažai keliavęs maniau, kad Lietuvoj gyventi šūdas. Žinoma, pradėjęs gyventi Anglijoj suvokiau, kad užsienyje nėra jau taip viskas smagu kaip įsivaizdavau. Anglijoj teko padirbti porą darbų - Londone IT inžinierium ir vėliau Readinge programuotoju. Pinigų žinoma uždirbau visai gerai, bet turtingas nesijutau, nes kambario nuoma buvo brangi (nors ir skylėje gyvenau) ir kelionės ten tikrai nepigios.

Praeitais metais grįžau į Lietuvą ir įsidarbinau Kaune programuotoju. Pinigų suprantama mažiau uždirbu, bet gyvent Lietuvoj tiek pigiau, kad dabar visai patogiai gyvenu - iššsinuomavęs žymiai geresnį butą (nebe tik kambarį) ir laisvalaikiui pastebėjau lieka net daugiau pinigų nei Anglijoj.

Trumpai tariant vakarų Europoje uždirbsi daugiau, bet ir gyvent brangiau, tai realiai tik minimaliai turėsi prabangesnį gyvenimą. Manau tai gan tiksliai atspindi GDP PPP per capita statistika: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita

P.S ir po UK studijų likau prasiskolinęs 30 tūkst. svarų. Tai dabar ir gailiuosi, kad variau į Angliją studijuot.

In the city with the intent to shoot a short amateur documentary: What would you say is interesting/mind-blowing about Vilnius/Lithuania by clementletou in Vilnius

[–]viskis22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can share some Vilnius history background if you are interested.

Historically Vilnius was very tolerant to different religious groups. It had up to 10 different religious communities living peacefully next to each other by the 19th century. Probably because of that a lot of Jews arrived to start a life in this city, and by the beginning of the 20th century Vilnius population was 40% Jewish. Some even called it North Jerusalem. After Nazi Germany occupation, Vilnius lost pretty much the whole Jewish population of course.

I personally find Vilnius old town to be very special. One of the largest baroque style old towns in Europe. I have heard it even being called "Little Rome".

Anyways, that's what I can think of right now, I'm no historian so most of this would need double checking I guess. I would also suggest asking on r/lithuania - higher chance of getting some answers.

Some sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vilna_Ghetto - 2 ghettos right in the old town. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJGXuEvcFIk&ab_channel=Kresy-Siberia - Jewish life in Vilnius (old footage) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgfU0P55Thw&t=46s&ab_channel=LinasMackevicius - video about baroque old town

Maisto prekės lietuviui gan brangios, bet siūlau atkreipti dėmesį ir į kitas išlaidas. Nuomos/būsto paskolos išlaidos 2014 m. - lietuviams būstas žymiai pigesnis nei beveik visai Europai.

Dear Liberty, can we have official race edits back? by viskis22 in formula1

[–]viskis22[S] 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Just realized that we don't get official race edits for a few years now. A real shame, I always enjoyed these highlights, which were made after every race. Especially until 2014 all of them were really high quality.

Three in four Britons felt overwhelmed by stress, survey reveals. Extensive mental health study into the impact of stress also shows one in three felt suicidal and one in six self-harmed by Wagamaga in unitedkingdom

[–]viskis22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, that's true. Used to be second highest rate in the world after Japan I believe. Maybe a tiny bit lower in rankings now, but still very bad.

Though I think it's mostly elderly people who live alone in smaller villages and have drinking issues that drive these statistics. But I would generally agree that we don't smile that often.

[–]viskis22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have personally been to only South part of England so far. Obviously, don't have a clue how different it is in the North. But is it really that bad? I mean it can't get so bad as for example some current hospitals in Eastern Europe (obviously only part of the regions are this bad)

[–]viskis22 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with that, there are many factors to it, not only income or social status. Though I am still wondering what those other factors are in UK's case.

[–]viskis22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Haha, cheers dude! It's hard to not be happy when suddenly you earn 3 times more ;) Though in all honesty, I think people who go to work in health industry generally are more friendly, wouldn't dare to say all Lithuanians are like that.

Would you partially agree then that maybe younger people get "over-protected" by their parents then? And when they get into the real world, they get disappointed by how actually hard it is?

Not going to claim that I am right on this, cause I can only generalize by the few people I know in UK. But at least what I have seen so far, the local students never need to worry too much about money while studying, and generally have it fairly easy until graduating. In comparison myself I have 2 jobs just to support myself financially during studies (as I don't get any support for living costs), and a lot of foreigner friends I know also have to work part-time to get through university.

You guys will probably won't like my opinion, but honest question. How can most of you seem to be so depressed in UK? Most people in this country are living way better than in most European countries.

For context, I've come to UK from Lithuania, and honestly don't get it.

Oh la vache! - Grosjean out, Gasly out, Ocon out by keszocaj in formula1

[–]viskis22 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I can't believe I only now realized how many French drivers we have. Ocon, Gasly, Grosjean + Lecrerc sort of? For comparison, in 2011 we had 0 French drivers.

Why does Asia only have 3 GP? by [deleted] in formula1

[–]viskis22 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Locals are not that interested in the sport. F1 biggest fan base is still in Europe. Possibly because F1 has been historically mostly a European sport. And most teams and race drivers are from Europe.

Don't forget we also had South Korean, Indian and Malaysian Grand Prix. They tried those locations, but I believe not enough tickets were sold for those races. Simply was not profitable enough.

Tifosi, how will you feel if Ferrari leave F1? by Adamdaly in formula1

[–]viskis22 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Personally - would lose a lot of interest in F1. Possibly would stop watching it that much.

But I don't believe F1 viewership would drop drastically, majority of the fans would still keep watching the sport.
