Surprised this OSM edit has lasted this long https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/1124222952#map=19/40.31586/-112.00401

I'm trying to identify an office I worked in for a few months. I'm struggling to remember where this was 🙂

• mid 2000s
• in south of England
• a financial company,
• large crescent-shaped modern building, with a bit of a moat.
• to the south, there was a village with a square church tower, very visible.
• Road went south to north, then turned 90 degrees and went east.
• i have photos taken around the time suggesting it was near Solihull

Anyone got any suggestions? Here's a napkin map.

I was aware of the Long Now Foundation's cute stylistic thing of adding a leading zero when they write the year (like this year is "02024") but I didn't realize they also had a cute name for it:

"Y10K Compliance"

Map showing the number of total eclipses in New York state since 2000BC

Another view of eclipse history -- here are all the eclipses that have passed through Peoria, IL in the past two thousand years.

Cool map showing the date of the most recent total eclipse for every point in Indiana. Made by the Holcomb Observatory & Planetarium at Butler University.

Great concept, and I'm wondering if anyone has seen a similar map for a larger area, ideally an interactive map for the entire world where you can see the year of the last eclipse wherever you are. The data is available, so surely someone has made such a map?

Today would have been a great day for a total eclipse. Tomorrow is starting to look a bit questionable, with some clouds rolling in...

"Artificial intelligence is the only field in which Cornell professors are not researching. Some members of the department say they are pessimistic regarding possible advance in the field and have no desire to be involved in it."

I've never noticed seeing this in a book before

Okay, so who knows where The Warehouse was located in #Ithaca, NY?

I've been doing some historical music research, trying to find a venue location, and finally found this full-page ad from 1970...

What technique would you use to try to identify every parking lot in NJ?

(I have an idea, but am curious what other's first thoughts might be)

@stevefaeembra are you sending anything to @lovebyteparty - the deadline is tomorrow!

still unconvinced about the whole compo culture, the open showcase TillageFX was lovely... haven't made anything on the tic80 for weeks but might dust off a geometry experiment and give it a nice palette, for the feeling of participation

i remember you did a tiny generative tartan thing that could go into it nicely :)

I was just testing our library's article search, and discovered that there were at least 7,912 peer-reviewed articles published in 2023 that mention QGIS -- that's a lot of research that has been made possible by open-source software! #QGIS

Thanks to @newgeographer2 for this #QGIS expression which can be used to make rotating-globe animations like this

A rotating globe follows a curved line that goes around the planet.
