Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software. Just fuck you. Fuck you all. I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

Seasonal snow cover disappeared at the #Écrins nivôse (Bonnepierre Glacier) yesterday, June 25, with an exceptional temperature of 17°C at ~3000 m (!) 😱 Last year at the same period, there was still around 2m50 of snow on the ground! ❄️ Via @gaetanheymes.bsky.social

From the Alps to Tien Shan, same story for the glaciers this year, on track for record losses! 🔥🥵 Little winter snow and already crazy heat! 32°C at 1100 m in Chamonix 16°C at 3600 m in Tien Shan Real time mass balance 👇 Swiss Alps @vaw-glaciology.bsky.social Bordu Gl. @landervt.bsky.social

The publisher has cut their costs by outsourcing to this company, the company has cut their costs by using AI/low-paid staff instead of paying for a proper job, while I’ve spent hours & hours fixing the manuscript, so all the extra labour from cost-costing has fallen on me, the unremunerated author

The new version v0.5.0 was released today with an improved GHCNh experience and better API documentation and user guide notebooks. But, why meteora? the idea comes back from my (bad) experience assembling meteorological data from different sources 🧵👇 meteora.readthedocs.io/en/latest/us...

I just released a new version of meteora, a user-friendly and Pythonic interface to access observations from meteorological stations into standardized pandas data frames. I have been working on this for a while but I think that this release is finally worth sharing 👇 github.com/martibosch/m...

After last year's success, we have opened a registration to 2025 instalment of **Spatial Data Science in Python** as a standalone course open to anyone.  It is perfect for anyone looking to dive spatial data analysis using Python, regardless of prior experience. 🔗 martinfleischmann.net/sds/micro/

I just finished reviewing Mesa for @joss-openjournals.bsky.social, took me more than a full day of work 🤷 I may be slow, still the issue of reviewing is not that it takes time but rather that for-profit journals expect us to do so for free while they make huge margins ❌ github.com/projectmesa/...

"a remarkable 14% admitting that they put in significantly more than four hours — sometimes a full eight-hour day or even more" First, "admitting"? This is not a source of shame!! Second, the only remarkable thing to me is that it's so low. I can't imagine reviewing a theory paper in <4 hours.

🚀 New in PyLandStats! The PyLandStats Python package by Marti Bosch now supports pattern-based spatial analysis! 🌍📊 Check out an example here: 🔗 https://buff.ly/3EOVQIc #Geospatial #GeoPython #SpatialAnalysis #LandscapeEcology

The spatial signature analysis class is finally available in pylandstats v3.1.0 🚀 I have updated the notebook to explore spatial signatures in spatiotermporal zonal analysis. Interestingly, we can cluster Swiss landscapes very well based on entropy and relmutinf only 😱 github.com/martibosch/p...

Do you remember a cold snap (a proper one)? ❄️ How beautiful it was? 😍 (Hint: last one was Feb. 2012 in Europe) These events and associated icy landscapes are unlikely to happen again during 21st c. due to anthrop. climate change! 🔥 tinyurl.com/45pzbsmk Red: with human influence Blue: without 👇

You can see many example notebooks showcasing the main features of pylandstats in this repository: github.com/martibosch/p... I will soon leverage the performance improvements of v3 to add a class for (potentially large-scale) pattern-based analysis using spatial signatures. Stay tuned!

“It has been a very good week here in New York. There’s less traffic, quieter streets — and I think everybody’s seen it." Travel times on bridges and tunnels into central Manhattan dropped 34%, and traffic volumes in the area 7.5% during the first week of decongestion pricing.

Hello bluesky! pylandstats v3 can be finally installed from conda-forge, including numpy v2 wheels (still compatible with numpy v1) and Windows wheels starting from v3.0.3. Performance in Windows should now be the same as Linux/Mac. Try it out: conda install -c conda-forge pylandstats=3 # or mamba

OSMnx 2.0.0 has been released! 🎉 This has been a massive effort over the past year to streamline the package's API, re-think its internal organization, and optimize its code. Today OSMnx is faster, more memory efficient, and fully type-annotated for a better user experience. 🧵

A number of artists and creators have made their home on Bluesky, and we hear their concerns with other platforms training on their data. We do not use any of your content to train generative AI, and have no intention of doing so.
