Shapely was around long before Mapbox, and Rasterio too. Both are based on stalwarts of the open source geospatial world - GEOS and GDAL. Vector tiles, Mapbox GL, and Mapbox styling, and numerous other libraries however did grow out of Mapb

Except that number is for the US McDonalds. The French numbers would be +33 1 30 48 65 28 or +33 1 30 48 60 00 as stated on the contact page. "I don't have the resources to take on a branch of a large multi-national corporation operating in

I hope the analysis of the flight was more accurate than some of the translations. 02:08:03 (Robert) Tu peux éventuellement le tirer un peu à gauche. You can eventually pull it a little to the left. Eventuellement is not the French equivale

I think if a groupon is unused then the merchant is not paid, so Groupon keeps the $10. This is how kgbdeals works. However Groupon redeem expired vouchers (if asked) whereas kgbdeals refuse to redeem vouchers even if valid.

Sure, but the $900 dollars would otherwise have gone to buy a car from someone else who fixed up a car or made cars. I can see how reducing the cost of items or services can make more people "wealthy" - such as being able to buy a second ca

Am I missing something with this "pie fallacy"? If you restore a car and then sell it to someone that needs a car then surely there is someone else who has sold one less car. The same principle applies to crop prices when all the farmers ha

"Explain virtual methods to me" - thereby ignoring anyone who can code in Python or Ruby, or anyone from VB.NET and several other languages where Overridable/Overrides is the terminology used.

It took months for Delicious to update their FireFox extension. I've only just tried again now, after reading this article and it works again.

I felt the same. Also there were some words I thought I knew what they meant, but my definition would only be partially correct. Also some definitions you can guess at - do these count as part of your vocabulary or not? E.g. Clerisy, can be

Where in the article? Not in the one this post links to. In a PDF linked from the article, it is stated that the mother had her back to Ardolf, and heard a "wet kiss." Ardolf then admitted to the father of the child he kissed him on the lip

Any reference to where he pleaded guilty to a charge of molestation (I presume this is the kissing incident)? He sounds like a psychopath, but if he was labelled a paedophile in the neighbourhood based on the statement of a 4 year old (or d

In these cases I've often thought it would be useful to have an "interactive" character guiding you around the application, such as a dog, or maybe a paperclip for a word-processing program.

Strangely no mention of his new gluten-free diet as a factor, which has apparently led to increased strength and new-found boundless energy.

Maybe a minimum wage policy has a wider remit than "the economy." Why bother with any regulations, or indeed employee rights at all? As for your arguments about immigrants - people may migrate to live "the American dream", but how many peo

What's wrong with paying at least the minimum wage to interns? I presume you can't claim unemployment benefit if working as an intern, so who is funding an interns living expenses? Unpaid work should be reserved for charitable organisatio

All well and good, but I'm not sure doing "research at a reputable university laboratory" and having "a good recommendation from a well-known professor" can really be classed as bypassing the academic admissions system.

"You don't fly in the balloon your soldiers do." Strangely, I wasn't suggesting the Montgolfier brothers were going to take Gibraltar single-handedly. There is a huge difference between climbing a wall with seige ladders where once you get

Kudos to the Montgolfier for inventing the hot air balloon based on a need to invade a strongly held fortress. But when did the idea of slowly floating towards your fortified, gun-toting enemy in a giant gas filled balloon seem a good idea?

So monkeys are shown high density images and low density images and they can press the correct button for a treat. For medium denisty images they can either make an incorrect choice, or press a skip button. If I wrote a computer program to
