Earth at Night

Explore the Earth at night as seen by Suomi NPP VIIRS using the Esri ArcGIS API for JavaScript. Lights are rendered as 3D terrain.

I love how I can bring a list of problems to therapy and find out they are mostly the same problem expressing itself in multiple areas of life

Kind of want to send an invoice for the bug report I just produced for a commercial product.

I just feel like it's a really nice bug report 🙃

whiteboard now saves stuff to/from GraphQL. Love that Elm feeling of "if it compiles it works"
subtweeting myself: there should be a Godwins Law for global warming
@andrej I agree that our communication tools are ill-suited for discussing "low urgency but important" topics, but I also think groups of humans are generally bad at this (see also: global warming)

The idea that developers (or designers, or writers) are especially sensitive to interruption is asinine.

Everybody (in software companies at least) has times when they are focused or thinking deeply, and the cost of an interruption is potentially high.

So foster a culture that is respectful of other peoples time. (advice I need to remember myself some days 😬)

Not quite the #Cyberpunk future I envisioned

With news of Unroll.me selling user inbox info to Uber, lots of people are repeating "if you're not paying for it, you're the product."

I've said before, and will continue to say, that that is the wrong formulation. Sometimes you pay for it and you're still the product – look at US ISPs. Sometimes you don't pay for it and you're not the product – free software.

The real question is whether a software or service empowers users, which can't be boiled down to whether you paid.
