@HMRCcustomers Thanks - must admit I was hoping not to have to go through the pain of contacting HMRC by phone again 😀

@Jon_Blower I'd recommend a call to an adviser on the helpline for them to check this for you. Rob.

@HMRCcustomers I have a new company car and I've been advised to notify HMRC to update my tax code. I've tried the online system but I didn't know how to answer some of the questions. It's a salary sacrifice arrangement.

@HMRCcustomers Yes, I've found the form and I can see where to input the P11D value. But I'm not sure how to answer the questions about how I have paid for it. I pay through monthly salary sacrifice and haven't paid any lump sum.

@Jon_Blower That is a route you could utilise to keep the tax code up to date. gov.uk/government/org… Rob.

@HMRCcustomers Hi Martin, my employer says they'll submit the P11D in July, meaning the tax code would be adjusted the following April. They suggested that I call HMRC to advise of the P11D so the tax code can be adjusted straight away.

@Jon_Blower Hi Jon, thanks for getting in touch. Will the employer be sent in P11D about the benefit after each tax year for you? Martin

Excited to announce that CoverageJSON v1.0 has been adopted as an official OGC Community Standard. CoverageJSON enables the development of interactive visualizations that display and manipulate spatio-temporal data within a web browser. bit.ly/46hG3uq

@rabernat @opengeospatial @pygeoapi I would use EDR (developer.ogc.org/api/edr/edr_ap…) as it's specifically designed for this kind of use case

Question for the @opengeospatial / @pygeoapi #geospatial crowd. Say I have a raster datacube (lat, lon, time) and I want to provide an API to sample discrete lat / lon / time points from this space. What is the right OGC API to use here?

Workshop: Recent Advances in Data Assimilation (DA) for Ocean Prediction and Reanalysis. This workshop will focus on oceanic DA (which is much more observationally sparse than the atmosphere) Thurs 20 July 2023 11:00 - 17:00 University of Reading Info: ow.ly/ev5i50OQb5J

@HCBloomfield19 @EngineeringNCL Huge congrats Hannah! Sounds very exciting

Now it's official, I'm delighted to say in June I'll start a 5 year fellowship at @EngineeringNCL on 'Climate resilient, net-zero energy systems'. Unbelievably excited and still all a bit overwhelmed to be honest! 🥲🥳⛈️ Lots of thanks are due: (1/2)

It’s not too late to help us build our exciting and ambitious Digital Ocean programme! Just a couple more days to apply.

How true. Similarly, the appendix of a PhD thesis is where the real blood, sweat and tears often live

@debbiejkite19 @spatialanalysis Hm, what would that be called - a Transparent Orthographic projection maybe? Need to get the @GdalOrg team working on this!

Love the new 50p but it's a nice example of why map projections are hard! They've taken an animated transparent sphere (from BBC news credits) and made it flat. I think NZ & Fiji are on the back face of Earth beside Madagascar (red box). Can anyone work out what's in blue circle?

Applications are now open for up to 8 Research Software Engineer positions in our newly formed Research Software Engineer (RSE) team within the Digital Ocean programme. Find out more and apply here 👉 bit.ly/3BOLdQI

Today marks the end of the sartorial summer, when the shorts go back in the drawer

If you want to see the climate change briefing given by @uksciencechief to MPs yesterday (inc. @metoffice chief scientist Stephen Belcher), it’s here youtube.com/watch?v=kXQ46R…

Today is my last official day at @env_analytics and @UniofReading, after over 19 years. Thanks to all my wonderful friends and colleagues - I've been very lucky to work with you all. I made sure to take some pics of the amazing @GardenHarris as souvenirs

@David_A_Ham @bnlawrence Yes, although beware weirdness in common third-party data structures, e.g.: [0] is Truthy numpy.array([0]) is Falsy [0] == numpy.array([0]) is not True but is Truthy

@bnlawrence It just reflects the duck-typing philosophy: value matters, type does not. On well-designed classes, == creates an equivalence class of values, which actually mirrors the maths concept of equality.

Well that's surprising: In Python 11==11.0 is returned as True (i.e you can compare objects of different types and they can evaluate as equal). I have to say that feels rather dirty.

@bnlawrence Yeah, and precision plays a role too of course: >>> 1==0.9999999999999999 False >>> 1==0.99999999999999999 True

@DrRParker @env_analytics Hi Rob, thanks for your message! This visualisation is custom-built using @d3js_org

@env_analytics I’d be interested in knowing which visualisation library you used for the flood demo (if you’re able to say). It’s looking great :-)
