Here's a brief overview of some fire features available in CalTopo. vimeo.com/597874743 #CaldorFire
Developer Support was pretty easy when half the questions were prompted by bugs in code copied from Think Reference. Copying dynamically generated buggy code will waste far more time.
Almost all the examples in the GitHub Copilot page contain subtle bugs. copilot.github.com/
Here are examples from the Python scripts. I don't read Ruby, Javascript, or Go, so I'd love to hear from experts in those languages. 1/n
Cliff Mass picks a straw man argument (“how much did global warming affect today’s temperature?”) so he can ignore climate change’s impact on the likelihood of extreme weather events.

UW's Cliff Mass with bad analysis: “Roughly about 1-2°F over the past 50 years has been warming due to human emission of CO₂. So if there is a heat wave with temps 20° above normal, 18° of that warming is probably natural and perhaps 2° due to human-induced warming.”

He concludes about the heat “We've just made it slightly worse” and he excoriates others for citing climate change. This is from 8½ minutes into the podcast anchor.fm/cliff-mass/episode…
One of the barricades was manned by a group of software engineers. One said police had fired tear gas, rubber bullets and stun grenades at them earlier in the day. “Everything we worked for is blocked without a VPN,” he said. washingtonpost.com/world/202…

I'm in tears by the loss to glioblastoma on January 7 of my old colleague @mrmachinetool. Mike Morton was a fun, smart, and uniquely weird guy, and most importantly a mensch. Everyone should have a problem solver and friend of his caliber in their lives.

“Users must create an account” is the wrong way to get people collaborating. @CalTopoMaps does it right: for specific projects and events, joining should be fast and seamless. Just click a link or scan a barcode. aboutcaltopo.wpcomstaging.co…

I'm still waiting for debate moderators for legislative races at any level to ask about corruption.

The New York Times is finally able to leave But Her Emails out of the story. Oh, wait... no they aren't.

One of the best ads of this or any election cycle! More scientists please!
It’s time to reject “I’m not a scientist” as an excuse for inaction. It’s time to send an actual scientist to the U.S. Senate. If you’re ready to put #ScienceInTheSenate, join me today at bendavid2020.com.
Climate change has loaded the dice. Cliff Mass is the scientist telling us that the physics of rolling dice is far too complex to blame any outcome on such small weight perturbations.

For a decade, Netflix DVDs have consistently taken a day or two to arrive in the mail.
Until this month. Now they're taking 5 days or longer to get to my house.
