I made this tiny python package called obe ( open buildings extractor ) to extract building footprints for your area of interest from multiple open data sources including Google Open Buildings, Microsoft Building Footprints, OpenStreetMap, and Overture Maps

Le démonstrateur XB-1 est devenu supersonique lors de son 12e vol au-dessus de Mojave, là où Chuck Yeager a franchi le "mur du son" en 1947.

I’ve been following “Boom Supersonic” and “Tokamak Energy” on the internet for years now, and it’s great to see the breakthrough from Boom today. Hopefully Overture will be a lot nearer, and supersonic passenger flights will soon be flying again!

How to assess the completeness of OSM building data❓

Free and open-source map data from #OpenStreetMap is an invaluable data source for research across disciplines. But how complete is the #OSM building data in your area of interest?

We have developed a flexible pipeline to evaluate OSM building data completeness worldwide using the #Overture Maps database.

🛠️ A step-by-step guide and code are available on our blog and in the accompanying Jupyter notebook: heigit.org/osm-completeness-wi

The #QGIS #GeoParquet Downloader plugin by Chris Holmes makes it really easy to download #opendata from #Overture and other sources. Watch my latest video to see how it works (and use it to create a wood-carved style map in :qgis: ). youtu.be/PRvadvTccEE

#30DayMapsChallenge Day 29, Data: #Overture 🗺️

For today's theme, I've crafted a map of #Rotterdam, the Netherlands, that looks like it's carved out of wood. 🪵

Using #QGIS, I downloaded the transportation and building layers from Overture. The process was seamless thanks to the detailed instructions and #Python script from @giswqs , see his useful video: youtu.be/6lfV81v71gs. :qgis: :python:

Bien que l'oxygène ne manque pas à 2000 m d'altitude, le défi de gravir l'ensemble des 2000 des Bauges reste néanmoins relevé, avec de nombreux passages techniques et aériens.

This weekend featured an event that was last on my calendar when my schedule existed primarily in analog form: the HFStival, revived Saturday at Nats Park. I knew upfront that the venue would represent an immense upgrade over RFK, but I didn’t realize how much I would appreciate seeing the Postal Service play “The District Sleeps Alone Tonight” for what they say is the last time–in the city that inspired the song.

9/16/2024: With Apple Finally Welcoming RCS, Google Voice Is the Lone Holdout, PCMag

I had this piece on my story-ideas list for months if not years, and Google was predictably disappointing in continuing to ignore its self-inflicted feature neglect.

9/17/2024: What the Reinstatement of Net Neutrality Means for Higher Education, EdTech

The piece that I wrote for EdTech’s sibling publication FedTech must have left a favorable impression on both newsrooms’ parent firm Manifest, as I had an editor ask I could write an explainer about the intersection of net neutrality politics and higher education.

9/18/2024: Microsoft: Russian Disinformation Ops Pivot to Attack Harris Campaign, PCMag

Seeing Russian disinformation operatives rack up two losses in the previous two weeks (and having almost finished reading Renée DiResta’s book Invisible Rulers: The People Who Turn Lies into Reality) added to my interest in writing up this Microsoft report.

9/20/2024: Boom Supersonic’s flight plan has to be measured in years, Fast Company

More than a month after my detour to California’s high desert to check out Boom Supersonic’s operation there–followed by my needing time to quiz a couple of aviation experts about the company’s ambitions–this piece finally made its way to Fast Co.’s site. In a few days, I will write a bonus post for Patreon readers sharing some of my leftover notes from talking to Boom CEO Blake Scholl for an hour and change on that Saturday morning.

9/20/2024: Rivian CEO: ‘Extreme Lack of Choice’ Is Hampering EV Sales Growth, PCMag

Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe’s talk at the Atlantic Festival offered some useful insight about the state of electric-vehicle pricing, but he also repeated an incorrect characterization of a California zero-emission car mandate that does not, in fact, ban sales of cars with fossil-fuel engines after 2035.

9/22/2024: This Week in Tech 998: Artisanal Locally-Sourced Dopamine, TWiT.tv

Joining this podcast via Zoom instead of in studio reminded me of one unsolved issue with my home office’s lighting. From 6 p.m. onwards, there wasn’t enough light streaming through the windows to illuminate my workplace adequately, then I took too long to take advantage of a sponsor break to reach for a light switch as the podcast continued for another hour and change. I can, however, take credit for helping to give this episode a title–“artisanal, locally-sourced dopamine” was my turn of phrase to describe how posting on Bluesky feels better than continuing to support a toxic ex-Twitter with free writing.

9/23/2024: I updated the TWiT entry with a direct link to the episode and context about its title.

@cbed a year ago, I thought #Facebook PoI data would be a “game changer”¹. The #Overture PoI data is just FB (right?), and wow is it rubbish. I was so wrong.
