Southern California is in. Took a bit longer than planned since as you'll see there were quite a few other improvements today: https://indigene.app/release-notes/0.24/ I'll move on…

Some are pretty crude but it was one of the hardest things to determine when dealing with a fairly small garden. I agree they’ve been very useful before and sometimes after plantin…

Fixed via https://github.com/olivierlacan/indigene/pull/105 Thanks again for the suggestion. It’ll take some refining but I also included nearby cities so it’s easier to get a sens…

Fair criticism, this is based on EPA Level III/IV Ecoregions (cited in https://github.com/olivierlacan/indigene/blob/main/DATA_SOUR... ) but I agree there should be a way to see it…

It’s so nice to know you’ve worked on this. I’m very curious what sources you used. The most fun I had with Indigene was when I decided to add French ecoregions so my parents could…

This is all the motivation I needed. I want to add more species to Florida first because this project finally came to life thanks to a visiting friend who still lives in Florida an…

Thank you, it’s very explicitly the result of a relatively tight but fast TDD development process with Opus (4.8 & 5 mostly), a lot of cross-referencing with established sources (s…

Odd to see one of the best native plant communicators referenced on HN but I'll use to opportunity to mention a side project I'd been delaying diving in for years and finally commi…

Keep a Changelog[0] maintainer here, weirdly seeing this while deep into work on way overdue 2.0 "release"[1], which should be out very soon. I've had to contend with Conventional …

Had the same thought reading this but I suspect what's in the gemspec could accidentally differ from what's in the RubyGems.org metadata, although that should probably not be possi…

Notorious islamophobe, homophobe, transphobe, xenophobe, and loyal supporter of French far-right parties is what most French people know her for. https://www.france24.com/en/france…

If you've used any non-iRobot vacuum alternatives in the last 5 years and ever owned a Roomba in the past there should be nothing surprising about this headline. It's shocking to m…

Thank you for sharing this. Reading memories from the people Noah impacted in his life feels like a good way to understand the kind of person he was.

Thanks Richard.

Sweetie, you might want to actually look at the photo attached to the tweet.

West coast folks should give the NHC's interactive map a try. The static map gets copied around a lot but the interactive map will let you see the past/current track (remember the …

That's not comparable at all to 4.80% APY savings and checking accounts in the U.S. right now with far more flexible rules. This kind of return on ultra flexible accounts is basica…

Please do not take advice on cognitive science, personal health, finance or relationships from renowned experts who have found immense success in entirely different fields of knowl…

Sadly there are a lot of third-party operated documentation sites that exist likely because of how hard-to-discover the official API documentation site is. It's something the commu…

This is not an official documentation site. The only official Ruby documentation exists at https://docs.ruby-lang.org/en/ and is generated via the Ruby source code itself. The exce…

May I recommend to anyone facing similar issues and who may have at least some agency in dealing with the problem (can't assume you do, so forgive me in that case) the incredible w…

That's a fairly inappropriate comparison in level of expertise necessary to design a system: LVL beams are picked by structural engineers, not by framers who generally install them…

If you're interested in the crucial work being done to restore habitat for wildlife in Florida in general and the Everglades in particular, I strongly recommend the excellent docum…
