This is an absolute revelation: I posted identical questions on 2 sites:

• one #opensource with a few $1000 funding
• another proprietary with several $BILLION
  Guess which one generated the best responses... Resilient community networks rebuilding 🌱 come join 🚀

The most radical idea in #OpenScience is to gently take researchers by the hand and patiently teach them, 1 on 1, how to do useful #OpenScience documentation, using evidence-based pedagogy grounded in the equally radical idea that science is done by mere humans, warts and all.

Writing policy and imposing it top-down is not teaching.

After talking to my friends who work for major consulting firms, I estimate you need a team of about 500 "professional" job-hopping money-driven 9-to-5 engineers, managers, and scrum masters to achieve the productivity of a single OSS dev who really knows and cares about a project.

Yesterday I went down fun #rspatial rabbit hole about filling maps with gradients, so I figured I'd write up a quick post about it. Here are a bunch of ways to address map-related overplotting with #rstats and {sf} https://www.andrewheiss.com/blog/2023/07/28/gradient-map-fills-r-sf/

A map showing 10,000 churches in the state of Georgia, with tiny points for each church and filled with a gradient density

🚨 New paper out!

"Generative Models for Synthetic Urban Mobility Data: A Systematic
Literature Review"

Synthetic data generation is a hot topic in privacy research, promising fine-granular, fully flexible datasets while simultaneously providing high privacy. What is the current state of research for mobility data? We reviewed +50 papers and examined their applicability in practice.

Big thanks to my co-authors @hoellena and Julia Hansmeyer!

I’m tired of having to remind people that racism, ableism, including insults around intellectual capacity, fatphobia, transphobia and other forms of bigotry don’t become magically okay if the target is someone horrible.

“Ha ha ha Donald Trump’s IQ is lower than his age.”

Why is that funny to you? What, precisely, is the joke?
