Yesterday I sneaked into a #hacktoon event, hack-the-paradise, part of the #smart-#city-#projekt in @jenalichtstadt, smartcity.jena.de/smart-city-pro…, where I did a small pitch on how public transport monitoring could look like. Using my usual tools, @MakiePlots and @JuliaLanguage :D

Paris: Schafft 60.000 Parkplätze ab Oslo: Innenstadt ist parkplatzfrei Amsterdam: 11.200 Parklätze im Zentrum fallen weg Mailand: Schafft 750km geschützte Radwege bis 2035 Berlin: CDU stoppt alle Radverkehrsprojekte bei denen 1 Fahrspur oder 1 Parkplatz wegfallen könnte.

Open Source Software und Wissenschaft könnten kaum besser zusammen passen – dennoch wird nur ein Bruchteil des Codes in der Forschung unter offenen Lizenzen veröffentlicht. Wir haben uns mal umgehört, warum Forscher*innen FOSS entwickeln. 🧑‍🔬🧑‍💻 prototypefund.de/transparente-u…

@MakiePlots is awesome! #JuliaLang

So not only on NVIDIA GPUs, now we can also run on AMD GPUs! By just swapping the array type (Array for CPU, CuArray for NVIDIA, or ROCArray for AMD), the solver can run on practically any device 🤯

How has Twitter changed for climate scientists since Elon Muck bought it? Fewer active scientists, fewer tweets, fewer likes per tweet, fewer retweets per tweet, and less likely to go viral. A thread with some data. 🧵

Again - much thanks to the developers of CUDA.jl, KernelAbstractions.jl for the high-level interfaces and Makie.jl for the fast 3D visualizations. That's @maleadt @vchuravy @SimonDanisch and many others.

#MakieCon starts today, follow the event here: zoom.us/j/94184124746?… and updates at bgc-jena.mpg.de/5632072/makiec… #julialang @MakiePlots

Contemplating inventing time travel for the sole purpose of preventing the IEEE 754 committee from inventing NaN payloads

Using segment-anything from #facebookresearch and @MakiePlots to create a little interactive segmentation UI for anything Makie can plot... E.g. zoomable satellite data with github.com/MakieOrg/Tyler… The code (prototype status): github.com/SimonDanisch/M…

See the final agenda, for #MakieCon, bgc-jena.mpg.de/5632072/makiec…. Note, that although we have several talks, the second most important part of the event is the exchange of ideas between users and developers, and of course among developers as well. Note the Hackathons's slots :smile:

We're really happy to announce a Geo visualization track for #MakieCon23 :) Looking forward to have this area much more polished in Makie!

#MakieCon2023 is moving closer and we're happy to announce the confirmed speakers! Talks will be streamed & recorded :) bgc-jena.mpg.de/5632072/makiec…

Asteroid Impact - 66 Million Years Ago. The next 48 hours after impact. #tsunami #now #Yucatán #Mexico. You can also explore this using #JuliaLang @JuliaLanguage and #makie @MakiePlots . See #code (simplified version) beautiful.makie.org/dev/extinction…

Last day! #JuliaEO workshop. Topics included #RemoteSensing data processing w/ @JuliaLanguage 🛰️ Grateful for this week! 👥Org.: @AIRCentre_org @JoaoPinelo @Igahalo 👤Lec.:@SimonDanisch @LazarusAlon @arpeggeotech @GaelForget @martijnvisr @milankloewer @natgeo_wong @milankloewer

@erikengheim @StefanKarpinski Barplots in Makie definitely deserve some more love... Or the APIs for stacking/dodging in general ;)

I've heard a lot about how great plotting in Python is, but I'm forced to use it right now and oh boy is the API maddeningly inconsistent. Want to add a title? Might be .set_title or .title or .suptitle or .set(title=). Why isn't there a consistent way of setting a title?

If you are starting a new #code course in #julialang, don't forget to plot your #data with @MakiePlots. Take a look at beautiful.makie.org/dev/ to get you started.

We’re hiring neuroscientists! Please apply if you’re interested in translational science and applying machine learning to massive EEG datasets to drive next-generation precision therapies for brain disorders like epilepsy, major depression and Alzheimer’s. boards.greenhouse.io/beaconbiosigna…

For those angry at the VanGogh @JustStop_Oil action, here’s real scientists and doctors protesting outside Shells offices. It will get no media coverage at all. This is how it’s almost always been for the last 35 years since NASA warned we were dangerously heating the planet
