why we aren’t more open to separating the work from the artist

Because we shouldn’t?

We shouldn’t support pieces of shit. Not with our eyes. Not with our ears. Not with our dollars or our attention. Its not like there aren’t hundreds of thousands of other hilarious people who aren’t pieces of shit. Its not like we don’t have literally PLENTY of other options.

Ugh, I wish this guy wasn’t so problematic. I really did enjoy his off hand type of humor.

there is only one joke we have to share it

Growth narratives on the fediverse:

Litterally a scientist working with NASA data and it’s scientists and I’m not the intended audience?

I’ve been in the remote sensing game almost 25 years. And a good amount of that at the federal government. I’ve sat at the table and shared beers and dinner with the chief scientists behind the modis and gedi mission. There isn’t a geospatial data type or format I haven’t encountered, and half of them I’ve buried.

So please, spare this old hand any lectures.

The fact is geospatial has been able to explode because we finally got away from these kinds of anachronistic approaches to data. It’s litterally never been a better time to be a geospatial data scientist. Praise be that the age of h5s and local processing is over.

Yeah. h5 is the typical industry shorthand and file extension.

The h5 saga was NASA saying “we’re going to create a file format that does EVERTHING”, and well… it does… poorly.

Everything that h5 is allegedly better for is better solved by just moving to either sql or postgres. And if the data aren’t that complex, then just send me a geotiff.

If you send me an h5 the first thing I’m doing is moving it over to sqlite or postgres.

geotiff

fucking fight me.

and if any one posts h5 as their favorite I’ll rip your fingernails off with a pliers.

Every year, your total assets are assessed and every red cent required to bring you to below 1 billion dollars is taken.

IF you ended up getting taxed at this rate, a bench gets installed in a public park with a small placard having your name on it. You get to pick the park.

Needs to be distributed. Single points of failure, be them people or tools, are always a mistake.

It’s not pseudoscience.

For there’s no man in town half as manly,

Perfect, a bear so-far-gone,

You can ask each of Tom, Dick and Stanley,

And they’ll tell you whose top they pre-fer to be on
