Why go to a conference when there's endless content to consume? Expert guidance, curated experiences, hallway discussions, serendipitous connections, and firsthand knowledge can still set in-person events apart.

So much wisdom from the trenches in this #goatmire talk. Now to hoard a few tb to try it out! 😅

IGEO7/Z7 ranges-indexed DGGS #Zarr (written with xdggs-dggrid4py), the cell geometries computed on the fly with #webDggrid (Majid Hojati) rendered on #Gridlook (by MPI-M and DKRZ): 100k-250k hexagons take about a minute allixender.github.io/gridlook/ #DGGS #Zarr #IGEO7 #FOSS4G

Julia and SciML workshops in Brazil Chris Rackauckas’s September 2026 visit to Brazil connected JuliaHub and the SciML ecosystem with researchers. The trip included engagements at INPE, the ICCAI conference, and the University of São Paulo. #julialang #sciml #dyad

Julia 1.13 Highlights #julialang julialang.org/blog/2026/09...

1/3 #EqualEarth for web maps! The @UN is adopting the Equal Earth map to reflect Africa’s true size. MapTiler is developing a quick, easy way to switch your #webmaps to Equal Earth. Try the demo: buff.ly/amXJGTk

2/3 We’re excited to bring Equal Earth functionality to #OpenSource webmaps. That’s why we applied to the NLnet Foundation for support in adding this functionality to MapLibre GL JS. Thanks to Pavel Janecka for his great effort with the development so far!

Julia is closing in on the TIOBE Top 20 again 🚀 Picking up ground in the scientific computing space it's always excelled in, exactly where Dyad brings Julia's speed + SciML power to model-based engineering. #julialang #dyad #physicalai www.techrepublic.com/article/news...

I still think every webpage should just have an interactive rotatable globe on it. Problem solved 😛

If your #ElixirLang is running an OTP version older September 1, you're missing fixes for more than a dozen CVEs. Patched versions: - OTP 29.0.6 - OTP 28.5.0.6 - OTP 27.3.4.17 com.erlef.org/wg/cna/2026/...

Idle coding: an API for tides in France at api-maree.fr #julialang Answered old q of mine: Q: how much bigger are tides in Brittany than elsewhere in France? A: lot higher in northern Brittany & the Straits of Dover than elsewhere, particularly lower Atlantic coast (date: Aug 12 last, spring tide)

Elixir beats Python and JavaScript in LLM benchmarks, thanks to its unique features. Discover why it's the top choice for AI programming! #ai #development #ElixirLang #reading-list

With Bamboo and Swoosh #elixirlang has some really cool libraries to send emails. But in the field of IMAP clients, there doesn't seem to be anything actively maintained. Or do I miss something? Searching hex.pm was not successful.

Uzbekistan just launched its first remote-sensing satellite, and it doesn't wait to reach the ground to think. Samarkand-2028's hyperspectral sensor (22 bands) processes data with an AI module onboard, in orbit. First time Uzbek engineers built AI for a satellite. #GeoAI #RemoteSensing

> DistSSHKit makes it easy to run one Julia project locally and over SSH, then collect the results… > These days, even small labs and individuals often have several high-performance machines or workstations. DistSSHKit helps you put that hardware to work. github.com/yamanori99/D... #JuliaLang

pixi 0.76 can now run standalone python scripts in isolated, on-demand environments. dependencies live inline via PEP 723, like uv supports, but pixi can layer on conda and system dependencies too. fun to build this with @prefix.dev folks. coming to a @marimo.io notebook near you SOON.

🔴🟢🟣🔵 Do you miss tagged unions (Algebraic data types) and pattern matching when you code in Julia? MLStyle.jl package of Julia introduces parameterized enums and pattern matching as we do in OCaml, Scala, and F#. #JuliaLang

What if every BEAM developer took a bit of responsibility for growing the ecosystem? Dan Janowski's Code BEAM Europe talk lays out a roadmap for championing the BEAM together. The video is now public! Watch here: youtu.be/IayfqtiwLQc #Erlang #BEAM

Pixi v0.75.0 now ships with an --offline mode. Install your environments directly from the shared cache, even on the train or plane! 🛫 Find out more here: pixi.prefix.dev/latest/refe...

@bartblast.com, creator of Hologram, a framework bringing the joy of Elixir to frontend development, will be at @elixirconf.bsky.social. We're proud to support this project! If you're heading to ElixirConf, don't miss this talk! elixirconf.com/talks/hologr...

Bad times in academia. Institutions everywhere weaker, forced to ignore experience & accomplishments; contributions worth less than credentials. Hearing from discussions in & outside Canadian geographers. Worrisome. Narrows possible solutions & innovation. 'Teams' now means technology, not people.

And if you have no care for #geography #GIS #GIScience or related fields, please ignore me because it may not be of interest. Well, I actually think the thoughts will be transferrable, but I am also aware that folks are "into their things" so I will not be offended in the least. We'll chat soon!

#ElixirLang people, represent 😁

Wow, this is amazing!!! 🔥 Elixir events not only about Elixir, but on Elixir! At @elixirconf.bsky.social EU they were using Elixir for streaming the talks. At @alchemyconf.com , they had an Elixir app to scan attendees' badges. Now at Goatmire, Elixir in the badges! #ElixirLang
