You guys have sex!?

It's lucky he's the vector data guy because if she was in charge of aiming it in there'd be rounding errors

Great advertising though. Everyone that reads the letters will learn their names.

But someone making about as many spelling mistakes as there are words in the post should be the first red flag. This reads like someone who slept through an intro to GIS course, or someone who hates ESRI (based?) and wanted to simultaneously send their entire board of directors into seizures.

Anyway, QGIS gang 😎

I went hunting and found OOP's blog. There isn't much more to the story, which I will transcribe here:

until like LAST WEEK
professor B publishes a paper that casually drops the word "husband"
and obviously all the students are like "oh i didn't know u were married!" because we read that shit like how white suburban mothers read People Magazine
and shes like "yeah, it's Professor A"
and we all FLIPPED. THE FUCK. OUT
we thought the framed picture of the two of them on professor A's desk was ironic because hes that type of guy
like, you gotta understand, these two have gotten into YELLING matches in hallways. these two refuse to go on trips with each other. but apparently they have a system where they quite LITERALLY leave all of their work at work and drive home in separate cars and literally NEVER work at home. it is SO funny

Man said "rivels" and "utalizied"

Oh really, Vernon? Why pretend, we both know perfectly well what this is about. You want me to have an abortion.

Then than better than better then

My domain is more bioinformatics than GIS, but the way I imagined it was that if one was arguing that [thing] data is better, they're arguing that if more people recognised the innate benefits of [thing], we wouldn't have to rely on software that uses [other thing] so much, and that to properly utilise [thing], it would take a bit of radical reworking of workflows, but there would be significant long term net benefit.

Basically, I think arguments like this tend to be more grounded in the socio-cultural practices of a research field than the absolute technical merits of an approach. Like in my domain, a DNA sequence is just a long sequence of 4 different letters (A, T, G & C), but there's a bunch of ways we can encode that data into a file, many of which have trade-offs (and some of which are just an artifact of how things used to be done)

They really are a geographer

My dad is a software developer for a popular GIS software. It's just weird to see someone on Lemmy talking about GIS lol

map nerds unite ✊

Extrapolantaring at its finest.
