A couple months ago I built Hazard Viewer, an app that uses federal data and Claude to generate a natural hazard risk assessment. It's my first AI app, it uses PostGIS and @maplibre.org, it runs on Render, it was fun to build, check it out. hazardviewer-frontend.onrender.com

I love the A train but why is it so infrequent

honest question (that I should probably know the answer to): why do government websites have downtime in off hours? like why can't i claim my weekly unemployment benefit at 1am

Truly impressed with FlightPath3D’s map product on this Aer Lingus flight, we boarded hella early so I’m just poking around

whole lotta bros out here thinking they prometheus when they really pygmalion

geocoding is hard, notion edition

I love that FastAPI's library for rate limiting is called slowapi

What do you appreciate in a project readme? From the basic to the specific, I wanna hear your preferences

Royer Perez-Jimenez was 19 years old. He died by suicide at 3am on March 16 at Glades County Detention Center in Florida. He is the 2nd person to die in ICE custody this week, the 13th this year, and the 42nd under Trump. 🧵

Has anyone else noticed shit is just happening constantly and you can’t stop near any of it

i am currently using python for its intended purpose: writing scripts to pull down government tsvs and strip whitespace from the headers

I never tire of telling people there are 40 global time zones, it breaks their brains in a very pleasant way

I need a dust cover for my turntable (I bought it from craigslist and it didn't come with one) and the new ones are like $140!!! Found one on Reverb for $75 but still way pricier than I thought. I did find this guy on Reddit who made his own which is pretty sick www.reddit.com/r/vinyl/comm...

The shower is such a funny liminal space. I’ll come up with brilliant ideas, forget them immediately, then remember again when I’m in there. Shower notebook when

Someone on r/gis asked “How do people just know how to write JavaScript, Python, and SQL to make GIS things?” I wrote a long-ish reply with some info on getting started (and a small rant on why I think generating code via AI can be dangerous when learning): www.reddit.com/r/gis/s/L6oC...

Okay the Pats found the formula, just have someone punch Stefon Diggs every time you need a TD

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

I'm at home waiting for an important delivery that requires my signature. I have no way of contacting the driver, but I can see a periodically-updated location. They're doing a bunch of deliveries in Brooklyn. They keep getting closer to me, and then farther away.

Cover letters are hard! I don't know how to frame them but I always want to include them (I am a writer after all) but really I just wanna say HI I THINK THIS IS COOL AND I'D BE GOOD AT IT

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting. Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.

Democrats should demand every sitting Republican decry this attack and explicitly denounce it, and then censure all of them when they don’t do it. Act like normal decent humans defending your colleague.

Six. Six Indigenous people have been kidnapped by ICE in Minneapolis in less than 3 weeks. And that's just the ones we know about. Three of them have not been released.

If you’re feeling helpless amidst the ongoing horrors being perpetrated by ICE… engage in mutual aid. Donate to someone in need. Give to a community library or food bank. You could also help Rodney Taylor, a disabled double amputee who’s been held by ICE for a year. His story is often forgotten:

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today. This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

My cardiovascular and central nervous systems don't understand the whiplash of witnessing societal collapse --> looking for a job --> watching football --> taking care of my family --> snowstorm --> working on mapping projects --> trying to feed myself --> sleep and exercise

A moment of silence that ends with someone shouting "fuck ICE!" and the crowd roaring in response

hippety hoppety time to stop kidnapping and murdering our neighbors

We’re supposed to believe this is a domestic terrorist attacking ICE with a gun

PORTLAND: join me at Elizabeth Carruthers Park in South Waterfront in one hour, to stand with Minneapolis and demand the immediate abolishment of ICE and the prosecution of its badge-wearing murderers and their leaders. 3508 S Moody Ave, 4 pm

Federal agents shot and killed a 37-year-old Minneapolis resident on Saturday morning. Colleagues and a senior law enforcement official identified the man who was shot as Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an intensive-care nurse. Follow live updates.

Question: putting together a writing portfolio and a lot of stuff I've done was once online, but is no longer. Is it gauche to link off to a page snapshot on the internet archive?

SFBABC just published a 40-pager on how we crank out 10 guerilla bus stop benches in a weekend.

this is absolutely bonkers incredible and also it’s very easy to see why cheerleading is one of the most dangerous sports

Fire the NFL refs into the sun. I love football but being a Bills fan is just pain.
