Unique challenge of Geocoding in India

@freemo I'm French and live in the US. I've been sticking to SI units for almost the 20 years that I've been here. I know what's good and won't let it go.

Sci Mastodon: I have positions open for Postdoctoral Research Associates. Training and research is available in structural mass spectrometry of both proteins and carbohydrates. Experience in MS and/or biochemistry useful. More information and apply at: https://careers.olemiss.edu/job/University-Postdoctoral-Research-Associate-MS-38677/1081191700/

@TruthSandwich

Obviously I dont buy the two party nonsense... but even if i assumed it were true for a second...

If my choices are:

1) Vote Biden - Help Biden a lot, hurt Trump a lot

2) Vote Trump - Hurt Biden a lot, Help Trump a lot

3) Vote Third party - Hurt Biden a little, Help Trump a little, Help third parties show better numbers and support for future elections.

I will go with 3 every single time... It reduces how much I help either candidate (more so than a direct vote for Trump as I'm sure you will agree)... and has some positive effect on the adoption of third parties by people int he future....

#3 is the clear win for me, even in a two party system.

Can anyone suggest a candidate other than Biden or Trump that look fairly moderate and a good choice? I have ruled out all third-party, all alternative democrats, and of course Trump... This leaves me thinking maybe one of the republican candidates are worth voting for but so far every one of those I checked out are pretty horrific too...

Is there even one candidate that is remotely a reasonable and moderate choice?

When I’ve landed employment, I will know how much time I’d be able to devote to such a thing.

Since this is open source if its something you want to be a part of you have no obligations. Put the time in you want, and feel free to pull back or lean into it as you feel you wish to.

A one-stop shop for amateur radio FOSS would be great. ARFOSS? HAMFOSS?

Still brainstorming the name… My thinking is open-source in ham is really lacking, so i want to encourage that. But also the state of software is very archaic with some huge issues that are very dangerous… I dont want to point them out in public as someone might exploit it, but one software related gap I could easily exploit to take down a amateur radio service across the entire globe and there would be no way to stop me even if i said what the exploit was… Its stuff like this that tells me there is a huge need for FOSS communities and incubators in HAM to push people to more open standards.

Are you thinking a separate, but public, github/svn style thing, web driven, or something else?

QOTO itself is a service basically for open-source STEM. So we provide a bunch of free stuff to help faciliatate that… It includes a GitLab instance with full Ultimate licenses for every user. I was going to use QOTO resources to host the software itself, and make this a group on that gitlab server.

That said I wouldnt be opposed to hosting our own dedicated Gitlab server… but that would cost more as it is a hefty service.

I’m not saying no.. I’m saying yes, but it’d have to be a side-gig that I can work on after normal work hours.

This is open source, thats how it works, you commit whatever time you want day to day, no obligations other than to let the community know your availability at any time when possible if we rely on you for a deliverable thats all.

Echo chambers are real.

So i spent a few hours guaranteeing 20 instances, and adding about 25 or 30 endorsements/censors/hesitations.

I love the idea and I think it has a LOT of potential.

Regardless I want to list it all here so the effected instances can be aware and if they wish respond/react. You can read my reason for endorsement of any of the below servers in the links provided.

I suppose this can also double as my #FollowFriday #FF !

Also please consider if you are an admin signing up and endorsing these and other instances as well.

@AmpBenzScientist yea, though that is pretty common stuff for this server.. pretty sure almost everyone has good math and tech skills :)

But yea i figured in non-political stuff we would be more similar

If anyone is curious here is my political compass standing, the results on all these seem accurate.

In 2017 I resurrected a Java codebase that I wrote 1997-2000 and was last installed in 2002.

Old treasures are golden when they come to life again. And I think that is what the Retro Computing "movement" is nourishing on.
