    There are quite a few. https://guides.library.columbia.edu/geotools/R I mostly used sf at uni and also preferd it to QGIS in most scenarios. Far from a pro user though.

    If only MS copilot was an actual co-pilot in my daily flight of work… but no, it cannot actually draft an email, create planner tasks or book meetings. It is a crappy way of using …

    Being a friend of one of the developers I’ve heard about this while it was in the works, but now it is officially released. 50k hours of parliament debates and other sources are at…

    The tyre wear has been tested as well. TLDR EVs don’t wear more tyres than ICEs, except for the Tesla. Wear is larger for FWD cars. https://www.vibilagare.se/nyheter/dackslitage-el…

    And how low of a tax they pay compared to SoCiAlIsT countries where the tax also takes care of health related things… It seems deeply ingrained they’d rather pay a 1000 bucks for t…

    If it hadn’t been for Germany being one big area in terms of electricity pricing, all swedens four electricity areas would have been far below that. Now our two southernmost areas …

    Falling asleep with nicotine patches on results in wild dreams so it clearly screws up something in the brain!

    Another strength of R, albeit via the tidyverse-package, is in data manipulation. It excels in taking some misfit, human friendly, pile of excel-sheets with implied relations and t…

    The article states that both groups received psychological support though. The only mention of 20 hours I find in the article is as an option to psilocybin. Does the original resea…

    Can’t you get this done via an LLM and have it generate code for mermaid or D2 or something? I’ve been fiddling around with that a bit in order to create flowcharts and datamodels,…
