Overthinking GIS A roundabout way to downsampling data Maps in the Modern Era GIS is probably one of the best things to happen to cartography in the last couple hundred years. I say that with absolutely no knowledge of the history of map making, but GIS is wildly useful and consistent in how it is presented on publicly-accessible sites. I can go to the USGS National Map Viewer and am presented with more data and information than I could possibly ever find useful. Even more surprising is that
This post is part 0 of a multi-part series called “the computer of the next 200 years”. the modern distinction between “programmers” and “users” is evil and destroys agency. consider how the spreadsheets grow🔗 spreadsheets are hugely successful. Felienne Hermans, who has spent her career studying spreadsheets, attributes this success to "their immediate feedback system and their continuous deployment model": the spreadsheet shows you its result as soon as you open it, and it requires no steps

The last few pgstream releases have focused on optimizing snapshot performance, specifically for PostgreSQL targets. In this blog post, we’ll walk through the key improvements we made, share the lessons we learnt, and explain how they led to significant performance gains. But first, some context! What is pgstream? pgstream is an open source CDC(Change Data Capture) tool and library that offers Postgres replication support with DDL changes. Some of its key features include: Replication of DDL
Modern agentic architectures rely heavily on chaining LLM calls. A typical pattern looks like: Use an LLM to decide which tool to invoke Call the tool (e.g. search, calculator, API) Use another LLM call to interpret the result and generate a final response This structure is easy to reason about, simple to prototype, and generalizes well. But it scales poorly. Each LLM call incurs latency, cost, and token overhead. More subtly, it compounds context: every step includes not only the original q
You can now send your reMarkable notes and doodles straight to Slack. The companies have announced Slack integration for reMarkable tablets, letting you send whatever you want from the e-paper device straight to your workplace chat in one tap. "...we realized that when there’s friction between thinking and producing, you risk losing time, ideas, and momentum," reMarkable Chief Technology Officer Nico Cormie said in a statement. By linking the tablet with Slack, there's less friction between comi

Over the past few years, LG has set off a strange tech trend that’s been rolling onto devices sold across Amazon and other online electronics retailers. In 2022, the company launched the StanbyME, which is essentially a $1,000 27-inch tablet running LG's smart TV operating system (OS), webOS, but lacking a tuner. LG's press release announcing the device described it as a “wireless private TV screen with a built-in battery” that is easily portable and ideal for watching shows and movies, in addi
I don’t often get asked about the phones I’m testing when I’m out and about, unless it’s a folding phone. Then I usually hear some version of the same thing: “Oh, I thought about getting one of those! But then I just got a [insert slab-style phone name here].” My anecdotal data matches the actual sales figures; there are many more people curious about folding phones than there are buyers of folding phones. Samsung would very much like that to not be the case, and, by all indications, it’s about

I am a big fan of these “relatively portable” power stations. Their place in the market is solidifying right between the ultra-portable and the ultra-high-capacity models. You can easily take them places, but they are pretty powerful. If you’re looking for one of these middle-of-the-ground batteries, there’s currently a really nice sale on the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station. Buy the BLUETTI AC70 Portable Power Station for just $328.99 ($270.01 off) This offer is available from Amazon, but

Just because you’re a work-from-home employee does not mean you need to be working specifically from home. You can feasibly work from anywhere that has an internet connection if you’d be so inclined. What stops me from getting out more often is that I don’t find myself as productive as when I’m at my desk at home. I’ve built a pretty robust workspace for myself with three large monitors so I can see everything I’m working on at once. When tied to just my laptop screen, I feel restrained. That is

Being able to get off your phone in the evening can be a huge help. It doesn’t even really matter if you’re just transferring your focus onto another screen; sometimes having a larger one that’s portable just helps. You can still use a tablet for work, sure, but it makes watching streams, reading books, or just playing some games a lot more enjoyable. While there are a huge number of tablet options out there, if you’re looking for a bargain, then there’s really only one good option for you today

The new Fairphone 6 is smaller and more modular than older models in the series, but it’s just as repairable. The phone picked up a perfect score in iFixit’s teardown test, despite no longer offering tool-free battery replacements. It helps that the only tool you do need — throughout the phone — is a T5 Torx screwdriver, and only seven screws sit between you and a battery swap. Fairphone itself has shown you can get from shutdown to reboot with a new cell in just two minutes, so it’s still a si
