Followed!

PhD grad in Civil Engineering who talks way too much about weather data, open source, and coastal forecasting at parties. Developer behind https://pirateweather.net
And now I want a mug saying “Everyone is stuck in the mesoscale”
Couldn’t agree more:
“Meteorologists tend to talk only about the weather; hydrologists will tell you only about stream flows; engineers know about concrete but can’t comment on climate; climatologists look at systems but rarely want to make specific predictions. Everyone is stuck in the mesoscale“
We have amazing scientists and engineers, but the problems of today are too complex for any one person, and we need multi-disciplinary teams #Climate #Research
Kyle GordonI wish there were a project like OpenWRT for IP based CCTV cameras.
Incredibly excited to have http://pirateweather.net accepted into the #Serverless stream of the #AWSCommunityBuilders program! I can't wait to learn and collaborate with this amazing group while applying #OpenData to help make weather forecasts open and accessible!
Laura EdelsonMy partner made this clock with the #DarkSkyAPI . It has the best weather display I’ve ever seen, listing high and low temps for the actual day (instead of the 24hr period) and showing a graph of temp changes. He ported over to a drag and drop replacement: https://pirateweather.net
merry skyReleasing today loads of new options for configuring the timeline layout: temperature, feels like, sunset/sunrise, wind, direction, gust.
Look for the little 3 bars icon at the right side of the "Next 24 hours" to invoke the settings menu. These are all opt-in so for those who prefer the classic experience of seeing just precipitations, nothing has changed.
Let us know in the comments your feedback and what's your new preferred layout!
Dwight SilvermanMissing Dark Sky, the original hyperlocal weather app? Apple bought it, killed the Android app immediately, and left the iOS app and website in place until it had fully integrated Dark Sky's features into its own weather apps. Now both the Dark Sky app and site are history, but if you're still in mourning, check out Merry Sky, a project inspired by Dark Sky.
It's an open-source collaboration between @merrysky and @alexander0042
(mapcar #'emacsomancer objs)Hacker News discussion of the Pirate Weather API, a free, open, and documented forecast API in the style of Dark Sky (created by @alexander0042 ).
(Cf. the Hacker News discussion of Merry Sky, an open source Dark Sky replacement frontend using the Pirate Weather API.)
For anyone thinking about a replacement the soon to shut down #DarkSky API, my Pirate Weather API might be an option! Designed to be drop in compatible, it's a free and open API that focuses on clearly explaining where the #weather data is coming from and exactly how it is being processed: https://pirateweather.net
