For those interested in such things, here are the slides from my talk tonight at

https://github.com/anisotropi4/shambles/tree/main/%C3%A7a-plane

One of the ugly issues around decarbonisation is the failure of the transport to get better, mostly because people need to get out of planes and cars

While cycling and walking are great, if you want to get from Stockholm to Leeds you might something a bit faster

@wnd Hey Will, only just saw this, sorry I missed you. Next time you're in Leeds let me know (or I'll be more observant of your posts!)

@wnd Amazing. We will have to get a beer/coffee/other at some point, maybe with @GarethDennis also in tow : )

Call out to any JavaScript, TypeScript developers + OpenStreetMap people, any ideas how to add an 'edit this in OSM' link that takes users to the edit page zoomed in the right place? Please see here, marked as "Help wanted" 🙏 https://github.com/nptscot/nptscot.github.io/issues/91

@daniel Amazing, many thanks! Currently look like it's kind of working (see PR linked to issue for details) 🎉

Before and after maps from the Network Planning Tool for Scotland. Spot the difference! Shows the benefits of continuously updated data and regularly updating transport models based on this amazing and community-generated resource.

Cause of the update: new bridge in , Scotland. This was only opened in August 2023 and apparently has a decent amount of 🚲 trips already (anyone with local knowledge let us know). Stoked that this is in our results already! Source: https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/in-your-area/renfrewshire/new-bridge-connects-people-businesses-27868349

Reading a bit of old school literature for once. There be wisdom in these here words: "Probably the whole of Newton’s controversy with Leibniz, which ruined English mathematics for over a hundred years, would have been avoided if Newton had been robust and able to enjoy ordinary pleasures." Ouch 😅 bonus points to anyone who can guess author without looking it up : )

From the same person, not much of a clue, but interesting take: "What I suggest is that no one should learn how to obey, and no one should attempt to command. ... Our purposes should be our own, not the result of external authority, and our purposes should never be forcibly imposed upon others. This is what I mean when I say no one should command and no one should obey." Reasonable today?

@paezha Don't think so but if you're basing your decision to change based on the second quote: you're probably best keeping the original vote!

@tordans good quest. Plan is: update the network on that site to make it less 'bitty', beaded, and clearer. Thoughts?

New functionality for joining spatial networks is now working 🎉 Coming to a free and open source package for sustainable transport planning for reproducible research soon...

@dblodgett yeah your river stuff looks awesome and relevant for transport nets

robinlovelace,
@robinlovelace@fosstodon.org avatar

@dblodgett Sure, here's an in-progress paper https://github.com/nptscot/networkmerge/blob/main/paper.md#network-simplification-application-to-the-visualisation-of-transport and here's the function that implements it in https://docs.ropensci.org/stplanr/reference/rnet_merge.html still a bit rough around edges and opportunities to optimise but seems to work!

Just discovered Manubot, a new collaborative writing platform, and it looks amazing. Has anyone tried using this project? Wondering how well it integrates with Quarto, if at all. Interested in tools for collaboration? The computational biologists have you covered!

Docs, published as a peer reviewed paper: https://journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/article?id=10.1371/journal.pcbi.1007128

@sgillies thanks for the heads-up. We did try but couldn't figure it out in the time we looked at it. Heads-up @underdarkGIS, PRs to add it around here v. welcome: https://github.com/geocompx/geocompx.org/blob/main/post/2023/ogh23/index.qmd#L206 🙏

@cboettig fully agreed! Series of blog posts on this is an idea @nowosad @underdarkGIS @michaeldorman84 next up basic raster?

Just opened a new issue in our repo with the "good first issue" tag. Never put in a PR and want to? This could be a good place to get started, as it's a super easy one: https://github.com/geocompx/geocompr/issues/982 Let's make inviting and friendly(er)!

Testing testing... the Utterances project for GitHub-authenticated comments is up-and-running on my blog, but never had much uptake. Anyone had good experiences with Utterances/other system? Interested in best practice for comments with powered comments.

The {h3o} package by @josi just gained an update. Now it behaves the same as sf by default, but better, returning all hexagons that intersect with the input object 🎉 Details: https://github.com/JosiahParry/h3o/issues/6
