@jccpalmer@mstdn.io I've lived in DC for 13 years now, and walk those gardens, Smithsonian, Wharf, Mall etc several times a week and it never gets old.

@the_dp That sounds awesome! And I am also one who cannot resist the Swedish goodies shop at the Ikea checkout

@Buxton_Vienna Enjoy your trip! I've lived in DC for 15 years and still enjoy the museums, parks and attractions!

@jgomezdans I'd hope they do - any thoughts from @jeremybowers ?

Next level :python: :qgis: #DataScience proof of concept:

Turned a simple QGIS Processing model into a #DVC data-versioned #geoprocessing workflow

"Why is this great?" you may ask ❓

DVC tracks data, parameters, and code. If anything changes, we simply rerun the process and DVC will figure out which stages need to be recomputed and which can be skipped by re-using cached results.

This can lead to huge time savings compared to re-running the whole model 👩‍💻🥳

@spara That would truly be something...

We live in an age where (a) we can know in advance that we're going to be hit by a 1m-diameter meteor, (b) know where and when the thing is going to land, and then (c) see video of it almost instantly thanks to some random person's pocket supercomputer. Don't tell *me* we're not living in the future. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/live-newly-discovered-asteroid-set-26222381

Let's go live now to Twitter engineering.

Thick loess southwest of Broken Bow, Nebraska, sculpted by wind erosion and dissected by streams. Previous research shows coarse late Pleistocene loess in this region can be directly entrained by winds below the threshold for aeolian sand mobility. Troughs and narrow ridges are oriented NW-SE, typical of all large-scale deflation features in Central Plains loess. 3D perspectives created with #rayshader
