Who do I know with #arcgis
I did a Freedom of Information request for some data on rights of way and the data sent back appears to be formatted using British National Grid and fooling the online conversion tools.
If I can get the linked results into a GeoJSON format, using lat/lon, I can take it from there!

Data of all of the Maintained Unsurfaced Roads in Norfolk - a Freedom of Information request to Norfolk County Council
I would like an electronic copy of the following rights of way across the Norfolk County: 1. Maintained unsurfaced roads 2. Byways Open to All Traffic I would be happy to receive these in most open formats; GeoJSON, KML, or GPX would be especially helpful. Please ensure that any included rights of way are not subject to a current Traffic Regulation Order, or include a copy of the Traffic Regulation Order documents that are applicable. Yours faithfully, Rachel Lawson

How emulsified droplets induce the bursting of suspended films of liquid mixtures
Emulsion droplets of silicone oil (PDMS) are widely used as antifoaming agents but, in the case of non-aqueous foams, the mechanisms responsible for the bursting of the films separating the bubbles remain unclear. We consider a ternary non-aqueous liquid mixture in which PDMS-rich microdroplets are formed by spontaneous emulsification. In order to quantitatively assess the effect of the emulsified microdroplets, we measure the lifetime of sub-micrometer-thick suspended films of these emulsions …

Starling Formation-Flying Optical Experiment: Initial Operations and Flight Results
This paper presents initial flight results for distributed optical angles-only navigation of a swarm of small spacecraft, conducted during the Starling Formation-Flying Optical Experiment (StarFOX). StarFOX is a core payload of the NASA Starling mission, which consists of four CubeSats launched in 2023. Prior angles-only flight demonstrations have only featured one observer and target and have relied upon a-priori target orbit knowledge for initialization, translational maneuvers to resolve tar…

Excellent article here describing the challenges of getting medical help for long covid / ME/CFS, and with even just being believed by family and friends. Certainly fits my experience.

Too many children with long COVID are suffering in silence. Their greatest challenge? The myth that the virus is 'harmless' for kids
They're losing their formative years to this debilitating disease. But for too many children with long COVID, finding help is a frustrating and traumatic process that leaves them feeling isolated and invisible.

It's always a nice feeling when you see a friend do things they like (and also see them join Fedi after you recommend it) 💜

Some friend told me that learning to program was a waste of time since AI would write all perfect code for us and make most developers obsolete within 3 years...
It is now exactly 3 years ago, how are my developer homies holding up? Feeling obsolete yet? :yay:
