How true. Similarly, the appendix of a PhD thesis is where the real blood, sweat and tears often live

Very sad to read that Peter Fox (@taswegian) has passed away. He was a giant of informatics/data science research and education. His talks were always conference highlights, not least his McHarg medal lecture at @EuroGeosciences. president.rpi.edu/news/memo/…

Just want to say (again) that the #SentinelHub and Playground by @sinergise are hugely impressive 👏👏. Easy-to-use tools like these are essential for unlocking the value of #EO data, esp the #Sentinels @ESA_EO

Oh @evernote what have you done? Shiny new Mac client is slow, buggy and has frequent sync errors. And why did you remove CMD-J search? Reverting to legacy until the new version is usable - currently it’s a disaster
Following the US election seems to be much like following a 🏏 test match online. A sense of fascinated helplessness as statistics slowly accumulate and a sense that after five days the result still won’t be clear
