I haven't done anything to interesting at work in the last two months, but I did make 3 stools for the kitchen and one for the garage...
@robinlovelace have you taken a look athr the work the brilliant @underdarkGIS hqs done in edge bundling? AequilibraE also has a simple edge bundling technique called Delaunay Lines, which I developed over a decade ago https://www.xl-optim.com/delaunay/
Using Delaunay tringles to build desire lines

WARNING: This has now been fully implemented in AequilibraE, and is also available through its QGIS plugin. Since I first starting using TransCad (TCW 4.0 back in 2003) I always loved Desire Lines. It is easy and quick to obtain (as shown HERE) and it is one of the most important tools I use to understand OD matrices while getting acquainted with new data and/or new regions. Although excellent for many analysis, desire lines yield very poor maps when the number of filled cells in a matrix is too large, which is the case for our current transportation models with their many thousands of Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs), so I saw myself using desire lines much less in the last couple of years.

XL-Optim

What an incredible moment in AequilibraE's evolution. Version 1.0 is out with a ridiculously fast optimal-strategies transit assignment algorithm.

AequilibraE 1.0

Today, December 16th 2023, we celebrate the 9th anniversary of AequilibraE’s first release as a QGIS plugin with the landmark release of version 1.

Next week I'll be (virtually in South Korea) talking about 'Spatial data science for just and sustainable cities', at the Inha BK21 Logistics Research Group led by Paul Jung. Looking forward to it!

Bringing QGIS maps into Jupyter notebooks

Earlier this year, we explored how to use PyQGIS in Juypter notebooks to run QGIS Processing tools from a notebook and visualize the Processing results using GeoPandas plots. Today, we’ll go …

Free and Open Source GIS Ramblings

@Transportist I could not disagree more. This: "... grievances about past crimes, over which those being taught the lesson are powerless... " is basically asking to not teach history. I can agree that there is a question of age appropriateness, but it is a fact that the African slave trade is directly responsible for the AVERAGE lower social status that black Americans experience when compared to white Americans. Should we not teach about the slave trade or about cause and consequence to preserve white kids' feelings?

Further, asserting that this is designed to achieve a certain objective (i.e. Making the boys feel guilty) gives you the burden of proof. Since you acknowledge that such assertion would be repudiated tells me you can't prove your assertion, making it almost a requirement to dismiss it.

@Transportist was it intended to guilt the boys or to give perspective on how pervasive differences in the access to opportunities can be? I'd say that's a good hook to mention that many groups (often women) have far less rights than other groups in a great deal of countries. That's also an important thing to understand why you basically don't hear about prominent women (or any minority) in history in many places/areas of interest.

Have you tried asking for a refund? They will ask you to fill a long form in a Spreadsheet with all your bank details and send it through email.

It really looks like a cheap joke.

@Opalsec @WPalant
Want something on top of it? If you ask Lastpass for a refund, they will ask you to fill a SPREADSHEET form with your bank details for a wire transfer and send it over EMAIL.
When confronted with the fact that they are asking me to send sensitive bank detail over email, their answer was to double down.
@SHG I made the move to Bitwarden and I'm pretty happy with it.
