Because it’s fun and not everything has to exist for a reason other than that maybe? I built something in the same vein, and the way is because it’s neat. It serves no real purpose…

Yes, that’s exactly what it is. On the other side of it though, so what, we get to look inside stuff with a cool scan. They’ve been doing these posts for several years now, and the…

As an experienced developer, that’s also how I use it. What I’m finding is that it generally rabbit holes as I give it new errors that it’s previous fix has produced. However, usua…

Having recently driven through downtown Toronto at rush hour for an in person office visit, I could see how an hour would be easy to rack up, because I’ve done it. One day at the e…

> All French citizens are required to have health insurance, and there are three main health insurance funds. The funds are non-profit and negotiate with the state on healthcare fu…

Depends on criticality. Yes, the US beats Canada for example on wait time in a lot of cases, however, as a Canadian I can walk into a ER and not have a co-pay. I had my appendix ou…

The “easy” solution is to try and remove profit as much as possible from the equation. Pretty much every other high GDP country in the world has single payer healthcare. Guess how …

I spent $27k to try and run an event, which was an interesting experience. I hope y'all can learn something from this, and maybe have better odds of succeeding where I failed!

> did you mean off from the title, or the surveyor's work The data from GeoNB was way off from what the surveyor properly located. > wondering if that event you were planning for w…

And on top of the fact that a lot of boundaries outside the city have been low resolution for a long time (land grants may have been from like.. 1902 for some farmer with 400 acres…

I had thought about PPK, but I like the reassurance of knowing I got a clean point on site, especially given tree cover. I also considered drone work, and I'll likely put hands on …

I had not come across the DSM term yet, thank you! I'll have to pull that thread once the snow makes this work completely impossible for the season :D

Thanks for the feedback! I'd be glad to hear anything I missed on, or ideas for improvement, since this kind of thing is very much a seat of the pants learning experience :D

I had not tried pulling the LIDAR, but yes, especially where the deadfall is 3-8 feet thick in the logged areas, I can already see spots where their generated topo doesn’t match my…

I had a conversation based on the GeoNB borders, and we had basically come to the conclusion that neither of us were going to be nasty about things. He was still annoyed to find ou…

For me, the tangible benefit is in actually knowing where my land is. I have some things I want to do on it, and I'd rather find out before starting, rather than in the middle of b…

Correct. There is a VRS service in the area, but for me A) they didn't make it easy to purchase service and B) they didn't have a station close enough for my preference. Also worth…

My apologies to anyone having trouble accessing my site. My little VPS is getting smoked, because it's a completely untuned install of Wordpress on a very small server :)

You'd have to have a GPS capable of taking the correction data, which a lot of units can't. I'd be interested if the iPhone could, since it has L1+L5 capacity, but I'd bet not, and…

There's a lot of ground clutter for starters. A lot of what I've surveyed so far has been ground under dense deadfall (due to previous logging), and my resolution is better than th…
