Just completed my Cartography and Data Visualization course for my masters program, here's my favorite map that I created for the class:

Yes I commit and deploy straight to production

Created my first streamlit app that visualizes Zillow's ZHVI data using folium and geopandas. Can't wait to build more! You can check out the app live here: bit.ly/ZHVI_Streamlit

the best vanity URL I have ever published and also possibly the best map? wapo.st/peep-these-lea…

Amazing!

@amyokruk Any code examples for this? Would love to see this in practice!

and while i am happy about this technical achievement i am super sad to be working on an interactive tracking mass shootings in the US :( :( this data does not need to exist

D3 tooltips can be a bit tricky, and i’m super excited because i figured out a good way to dynamically handle edge detection w/o a million lines of code or endless if else statements (iykyk)

@MapMakinMeyers I’ve had issues with this before as well. Selecting all of the features within the geopackage layer, then exporting has fixed this for me in the past

ArcPRO doesn't export all features from geopackages - fun little thing I found this morning...

@Cchurchili I love hate d3. I love what it creates but I hate getting there. I don’t have any alternatives to offer, just wanted to complain.

I'll be controversial and ask something i've been pondering - what are good arguments to *not* use d3 for coding web visualizations? / better alternatives.

#PyConUS2022 @pwang Keynote: Announcing Py-script!!! It's Python! inside HTML!!! 🤯

@tech_update0 @ethereum @solana Let web3 die in a flaming ball of fire.

Introducing a new #Python package named geospatial 🚀Installing commonly used Python package for #geospatial analysis and #dataviz with only one line of code. Let me know your fav package, and I can probably add to it GitHub: github.com/giswqs/geospat… Docs: geospatial.gishub.org

@Cchurchili Washburn Island State Park!

Trying out marker symbols in #ArcGISPro as a way to convert land cover vector data into something more naturalistic looking:

@RangeSpatialist Thanks for the thread! What template service did you use here?

5⃣ Fancy CV template 📝: I wanted my CV to put my technical proficiencies (programming, modeling, etc.) at the forefront, so I paid $20 for a service with a template I liked. My new boss loved how clear my CV was, which he then used to advocate for my salary. $20 well spent.

After an extensive job search resulting in landing my #1 desired job (Data Scientist at @ClimateEngine) 🎉, I wanted to compile some reflections into a 🧵 Below are things that I focused that on I think positioned me to get my #Geospatial #DataScience job. 👇 #EOchat #GISchat

I'm a little mapping library that was born 11 years ago in Ukraine. 🇺🇦 Yesterday, after enduring 8 years of hybrid warfare that killed 15000+ and displaced millions, Ukrainians listened to a 40-minute hate speech from Russia's insane president on why Ukraine shouldn't exist. 1/4

@pokateo_ He’s a golden god!!!

@EricSamsonGIS That quite possibly is my favorite scene in the whole series 🤣 at the very least Dennis' best and is quite fitting for ArcGIS rage

@MapScaping I’m working on expanding cadispersedcampingmap.com to the entire United States.

Who's got a map-related side hustle? who is building something on the side related to geospatial? It would be great to know what you are up to!

So excited to share a (downsized for twitter) #map I have been working on, with illustration work by @The_Ruizium. A picture of the #Amazon region in crisis. Not only the struggle to deal with #deforestation, but its geography, cultures, and political divisions.

@MapMakinMeyers The biggest negative for me is that it is just so much slower than Qgis doing almost anything. Other than that, I really love pro.

I hate myself for saying this - I really like ArcPRO.
