When 2021 came around things were cool again though!

This is a supposedly cloud free landsat mosaic over Tuvalu in 2020. Sometimes I think cfmask just gives up.

So many times I go to check out a "global" product and it looks like this

You shouldn’t have to write code to access geospatial data or use a GIS.

I'm excited that this important work on Mojave desert tortoise occupancy trends has finally been published. @AKissecol did a great job leading an amazing team. A special acknowledgement of the steadfast work and support of the late co-author Linda Allison.

I just deployed a web app that is serving cloud-optimized GeoTiffs directly from S3. no tiles, no backend, nothing. The kicker is I used the Esri JS SDK. Would love if this was possible through leaflet or maplibre, etc! ?Or is it already??.

Make time to look at your data!.

This year I pledge to spiff up my email sig.

The sunk-cost fallacy with respect to machine learning: "The model that takes the longest to fit is the best". Not so fast! Also see: "higher resolution satellite images are always better".

I woke up in the middle of the night last night with the thought "Why did everyone stop using Perl?".

I know it's been around a while but flexbox solves so many layout problems.

Set up your editor to use a fixer - a program that reformats your code to fix indentation, long lines, and other issues when you save. I use black for python, styler for R, and prettier for javascript. They will make your life easier.

I'm not necessarily an early adopter, but am perhaps an early "attempter". I like to give new stuff a try. I always say if you're sharing a website you made with someone you've only got one shot, so it better be slick. The same with data. And the same with cloud platforms.

RT @lossyrob: Are you a senior level software engineer? Come work at @microsoft and build the Planetary Computer with us! .

I thought I knew what I was doing, then I started working with data that crossed the 180th meridian.
