Anybody on here going to be at Schematic Mapping Workshop in Paris this year? How about drinks on Wednesday evening? (Posting in case anybody is even here anymore; find me as tvdmaps on sky app.)

This is the dream… thousands of dollars of equipment, tooting on a bizarre doohickey, making music that sounds like frogs listen to it…

Word of the day: Poissonize. ("In some of the proofs it is useful to Poissonize.")

Pet peeve: people saying Java doesn't have pointers. Java ONLY has pointers!* Stop making people be scared of pointers.

(* Java does have primitive types, of course. But calling something a "reference type" doesn't make it not a pointer.)

People tend to get the Turing Test slightly wrong – I think. tvd.win.tue.nl/posts/turing-…

Kein Grund sich an das Fahr- und Parkverbot zu halten, wenn man trocken zum Bäcker kommen möchte. In @bochum_de sehen die Verkehrsüberwachung und die Polizei großzügig weg oder nutzen im Falle der Polizei (@polizei_nrw_bo) vermeintliche Sonderrechte beim Einkauf.

📍With just a few lines of code, you can now overlay historic maps on a @LeafletJS map with the new Allmaps plugin. See observablehq.com/@allmaps/le… to try it out‼️

I had a great time at #GIScience in Leeds last week! Check out my talk about visualising geophylogenies (video link below) or get the open access full text here: drops.dagstuhl.de/opus/front…

Here are the main results. • Formalise the problem • Efficient algorithm for internal labeling • Crossing minimisation is NP-hard, but can be solved efficiently with an ILP or heuristics.
