Shapely was around long before Mapbox, and Rasterio too. Both are based on stalwarts of the open source geospatial world - GEOS and GDAL. Vector tiles, Mapbox GL, and Mapbox stylin…

The bacteria is named after Dr. Salmon, not related to the fish. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salmonella#History

It should be possible in a single line of Python.. pip install fizzbuzz And then: import fizzbuzz print fizzbuzz.fizzbuzz() Or for the second solution: print fizzbuzz.fizzbuzzbazz(…

Except that number is for the US McDonalds. The French numbers would be +33 1 30 48 65 28 or +33 1 30 48 60 00 as stated on the contact page. "I don't have the resources to take on…

I hope the analysis of the flight was more accurate than some of the translations. 02:08:03 (Robert) Tu peux éventuellement le tirer un peu à gauche. You can eventually pull it a l…

"You slowly replace your friends with "better" ones"..."will make you more of who you want to be" I believe the talented Mr Ripley used this strategy to good effect. There's a sayi…

I think if a groupon is unused then the merchant is not paid, so Groupon keeps the $10. This is how kgbdeals works. However Groupon redeem expired vouchers (if asked) whereas kgbde…

Sure, but the $900 dollars would otherwise have gone to buy a car from someone else who fixed up a car or made cars. I can see how reducing the cost of items or services can make m…

Am I missing something with this "pie fallacy"? If you restore a car and then sell it to someone that needs a car then surely there is someone else who has sold one less car. The s…

"Explain virtual methods to me" - thereby ignoring anyone who can code in Python or Ruby, or anyone from VB.NET and several other languages where Overridable/Overrides is the termi…

It took months for Delicious to update their FireFox extension. I've only just tried again now, after reading this article and it works again.

I felt the same. Also there were some words I thought I knew what they meant, but my definition would only be partially correct. Also some definitions you can guess at - do these c…

Any reference to where he pleaded guilty to a charge of molestation (I presume this is the kissing incident)? He sounds like a psychopath, but if he was labelled a paedophile in th…

In these cases I've often thought it would be useful to have an "interactive" character guiding you around the application, such as a dog, or maybe a paperclip for a word-processin…

Strangely no mention of his new gluten-free diet as a factor, which has apparently led to increased strength and new-found boundless energy.

Maybe a minimum wage policy has a wider remit than "the economy." Why bother with any regulations, or indeed employee rights at all? As for your arguments about immigrants - people…

What's wrong with paying at least the minimum wage to interns? I presume you can't claim unemployment benefit if working as an intern, so who is funding an interns living expenses?…

Animals in the English language already means any living thing other than humans.

No just the Windows start up "fanfare" while the smartphones crash and reboot..

All well and good, but I'm not sure doing "research at a reputable university laboratory" and having "a good recommendation from a well-known professor" can really be classed as by…
