Also could claim for Czech (modified Krovak), Finnish (TIN based transformation at the 0.1 mm precision), New Zealand (semi-dynamic datum with deformation model involving time-dependent grid patches) and Canadian (velocity grid implementatation) honorary citizenship. I don't claim French citizenship for my feats because IGN is basically ghosting me. Nul n'est prophète en son pays...

To be honest, I'm quite frustrated to not have yet received a honorary Dutch citizenship for all the time I've spent making their damned coordinate transformation work. If that's too demanding, just a honorary citizenship of the municapility of Amersfoort will do

Why is USA backing off from NATO a "threat" ? I see it more as an opportunity.

My email response to MathWorks annoying libtiff once more about create a libtiff release for a recent CVE . #shamethem
""""
MathWorks:
- finally creates a in-house policy abut how to properly engage with the libtiff community that resists to staff turn-over
- finally takes over libtiff mainternship to stop the bleeding CVE hemoragy and publish a release after each fix is committed to master
- creates its own CVE-free libtiff fork
Pick your poison but your request was an April fool right?

There's hardly any greater satisfaction in life than being able to do a binary identical round-trip of ISO-8211 encoded file -> XML -> ISO-8211 including fields whose data struct code is concatenated
