Good but need to make sure they don't come with crazy service charges and high ground rents.

Network issues? Loads huge thanks pretty well for me.

Anyone know of an architecture / design / digital company in #Sheffield that might have capacity to take on a 15 year old for a couple of weeks' work experience in the new year? @helpsheffield.co.uk

It's ridiculous when they do this. Like anyone is going to volunteer to get off.

"We believe he is corrupt" . Ha. Based on what? On the flip side I believe Parish is incompetent - and there's actual evidence for that.

I wish I'd watched it as a 33-year old, as a married 45 year old it gave me restless nights and an existential life crisis!

Pretty much everywhere in the UK would be 🤷🏻 Mowgli or Ashoka on Ecclesall Road are both very good.

@youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com just stumbled across your podcast, but doesn't seem to have been an episode for a year or so? Any plans to do more?

What's the value of Pi to 100 decimal places?

Copy from people who have already done them. Lambeth Councils is excellent for example.

Out of the two, in your situation, I'd probably go for Nottingham. A little nearer to London and with a better city centre (that's being redeveloped). Not as hilly so easier for cycling. You could get an apartment near the river Trent.

TheRealJimShady @jimshady.bsky.social · 08/05/2025

Getting to LHR from either is a bit awkward tbh. You (obviously) need to cross London. But there's Manchester, Birmingham and East Mids airports all easily accessible which may fly to where you need?

*R, R to send SQL commands to PostGIS, and QGIS.

No worries. When writing terrabytes of files I was after every little speed gain I could find!

For context I was processing global raster flood maps. 6 maps per country at 30m resolution. Was really challenging. Spark was rubbish at doing it in a distributed manner. I ended up using my databricks cluster as a kind of "single node" machine (and it also kept crashing due to memory issues)

TheRealJimShady @jimshady.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Hmm it was a while ago. Yes I might have done. I know I started using /tmp but ended up using /local_disk0 instead. I think the read/writes were quicker.

TheRealJimShady @jimshady.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Been doing this exact thing with raster data. You just can't write it to the mounted azure storage. Doesn't fail, but no output is produced. Have to write to /tmp then copy to container. I'm using data bricks daily, but it's lacking a bit for geospatial so far.

Quite interesting. Looks like it'll basically be a table in cafe or something. How an earth can it be free drinks for £5. Aside, Cambridge Street Collective always has space, plugs, WiFi, and it's £6(£8?) for unlimited coffee.

I literally can't see the difference between the left and right. Haha.

What do you dream of your local streets being like? For me it is making them welcoming public spaces for everyone to enjoy and move in without fear from traffic (including the remaining vehicles which are there). I drew this of my local South Road, Sheffield.

Watercolour pen sketch of a street with people walking, sitting out, cars in side street and parked on the main street, people cycling and riding a tricycle and playing and trees and plants on the street.

Tell you what, I really hate snow, but the way it effectively removes cars from our neighborhood is amazing. It's a lovely quiet area suddenly. Everyone says morning as you pass each other. Kids walk safely down the street playing.

In strange crossover, Isildur has just scored for Sunderland.

Basically st_union all you lines, then do st_polygonize .

Hopefully it'll come. It's fine for filtering, just not joins.

You could check out Sharrow Vale Road. One of the areas with the most potential to become a liveable street if the council could be brave and remove the cars. Locals been asking for it for decades.

I gave DuckDB spatial a first go this week. I was disappointed to find the spatial index can't be used for joins like it can in Postgres.

They need to make it like £20 adults, £10 kids and fill the place.

If you bring central London to a halt in order to campaign against catastrophic climate change then you're a "barmy" eco "fanatic" who deserves to be locked up. If you do the same to hang on to your multimillion pound inheritance tax exemption then you're a brave freedom fighter defying the odds

Not sure vulnerability is the right word Ian. That suggests a security issue / something compromised. This is more a lack of tracking (which will make selling adverts harder for them).
