    I had an idea to sort of automate this process or even a user aided wizard as a product but never to round to the mvp. Still an ok idea I think as satellite imagery on wall is grea…

    No till farming is widespread especially in Australia for decades. Nearly all dryland farms take this approach. It just means controlling fallow weeds without tillage, usually with…

    Hey nice idea- I am looking at building a dashboard style web app like yours. Have you used any frameworks here or rolled your own? - I am on mobile or id take a closer look myself…

    PostGIS can write to GeoJSON so you can have a simple flask or bottlepy webserver to query the db. Then use leaflet GeoJSON layer to pull down the data and render it on map. There …

    I read that blog post. Such a good example. But there is even a comment in there warning about raster via database. I am going to try it out as well with some MODIS data. I wonder …

    I love PostGIS. I have used it in many projects. PostGIS raster is really interesting to me but the general sentiment is that it's a bit slow and only use it if you need to. It jus…

    For someone not overly ear to the ground culturally this is a rabbit hole. The Youtube one fascinates me. I've not heard of most but imagine there are hundreds of interesting stori…

    Thanks. I wrongly assumed OVH would as you describe AWS, especially when setting up an 'instance' in their 'public cloud'. I just a quick look at their Vrack product to see if it l…

    Does this seem odd to others? Does AWS give 'local' access speed to s3 from EC2 on same locations?

    Very cool. I'd like to tile vertically/horizontal. Also snap to edge takes up half screen like on Windows OS.

    If Excel is as popular as everyone says it is, why don't we see more of the javascript addins? Excel as a platform makes sense to me. If I'm in Excel where all my data is, I want t…

    I've just started testing this on a side project as I got a bit excited about htmx. I like the idea of forming HTML templates in Flask/Jinja2 so the hyperscript/htmx toolset should…

    I like this idea. I spend a bit of time sitting on tractors. When you run out of good podcasts, audiobooks temptation is to scroll HN, Twitter. This would be better.

    Cool. Read this with interest. I want to give Nim a shot. Is there a compiled Windows binary of your program I can try out?

    I Like the example RSS app ( https://github.com/do-community/rss-reader-api ) that DO provide. It's Django REST Framework but without a lot of the 'magic'. I reckon the DRF docs sh…
