I love this, although I do wonder how accurate it is, given the likely limited underlying elevation data source. It reminds me a lot of an application for creating shadow animation…

Caffe2-rs is a Rust crate that provides an operator network library for the Rust ecosystem. The library is based on the flexible and robust Caffe2 C++ library and aims to provide h…

What about the interrobang!? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interrobang

The geospatial industry is massive, which includes jobs in geographical information systems (GIS) and remote sensing. All that imagery that is being collected by satellites and dro…

Well thank you for saying that! I'm the developer of WhiteboxTools and have been using Rust to develop it for years now. I love the language. I think Rust and geospatial are really…

I have the exact same experience. Both Maturin and PyO3 have been a game changer for the work that I have been doing lately. It works so seamlessly.

To be clear, I'm not saying that the draining of Lake Erie necessarily means that Lake Huron/Michigan or Superior would drain too. If that were to happen, the two events would be q…

Yes, that's correct, it would increase its capacity by orders of magnitude, if not temporarily. The capacity of Lake Erie to hold water is set by the elevation of its outlet, which…

@xemoka Thanks for the kind words. I will respectfully disagree about the level of complication involved though. In this case, you simply open the ShadowImage tool, specify your in…

These blender-based shaded relief images have been popping up a fair bit in the geomatics space recently. I really love them, but they are fairly complicated to make. I developed t…

I built an extensive open-source Rust-based spatial analysis platform called WhiteboxTools with the intention of serving as a plugable spatial analysis back-end for various GIS fro…

Congratulations to the Nim development team for another solid release. I'm really enjoying working with Nim.

This was a wonderful read. I learned a fair bit that I didn't know about Nim before and there are a few very useful tips in there.

This is truly a big deal for Nim and is a major milestone for the language. Thanks to Araq and all others on the development team that made this possible.

You can re-order functions by using the {.experimental: "codeReordering".} pragma now.

Crystal perhaps? Crystal Language: https://crystal-lang.org/reference/

This was an excellent read! I'm looking forward to the additional discussions (e.g. Nim's new runtime) described in the conclusions.
