Incredibly informative thread - thank you

Yeah 100% - varies by domain but in my experience CSV is most common with no time dimension at all but 30yr avgs in different files. Second most common is files that can be used in GIS, which technically netcdf is but in practice folks are prone to mistake 1st day in time series as the whole file

Yeah I have always had contradictory "oh cool what an elegant simplification and why not" vs. "holy hell what a nightmare for postprocessing and for explaining to users of projections why this was done and that they can still use results in our real world" reactions to the 360 day calendar

Not if I can help it. My team spends a lot of time converting data into formats people can use and/or teaching folks to use formats they aren't familiar with... depends on the application. Point still stands that a lot of folks we might assume use time series do not. climatedata.ca/ask-a-climat...

I would be very curious to know if they are building that housing to handle the climate of today and the future instead of based on historical conditions

AFAIK using actual time series is a little too complex for most economic analysis

Yeeeeah this always brings me back to the time something kept bugging me about projected changes to BC climate not lining up with my expectations so I dug into code to find we were draping climate change in Ukraine over BC climatology due to this exact issue

Is cancelling USAID like this amount to the single biggest mass murder in history outside of war?

That is less up my alley than arranging an un cube draft or some such but I can get some good recs from locals who do marathons on that around here as well as Vancouver

The account that is linked to is an alt account just to hold the list so with zero accountability it could be anything - the description certainly doesn't seem to fit.

I like to try to take blocks as a compliment - I'm up to 15 😀

Yeah i like to check once in a while also just because folks who put me on lists are generally good followbacks who I might have missed in part to the boost from them adding me in the first place

Can also happen if someone put you on a list or starter pack but should give you both real followers and bots in that case. @clearsky.app can let you check for that

Don't suppose you have a calculator to recommend for ebikes?

Makes me think of my bakery loyalty card. Used to be a physical card. Replaced it with an app which they logged everyone out of at once over a security concern and now they waste time with people telling their phone number every time since no one has logged back in.

Same. I have to say it wasn't too surprising when I saw the 100 hour livestream to see you were involved!

Ah just realized you're on bsky @henrifdrake.bsky.social - nice job with the hosting!

That said I would definitely try that flavour combo just to see.

No not really but at that particular moment it's what I'd have done. As a recommendation not very help actually.

Building professional like engineer or architect. We still haven't grappled with how much a changing climate will affect how we build and renovate buildings.

Oh yeah obviously we don't need it hyped and misleading but the point is no matter how cynical anyone wants to be about CCR so far, there's no changing the fact that we do / will need CCR
comment in response to
post
Right, but then what? We need CCR eventually. Agreed that it should be not be focus of efforts or distract from mitigation but we do need it even best case emissions reductions.

A very good point although "barely" might be giving too much credit. From where I sit it seems more like "don't remotely"

Ugh can only hope that when it gets brought back it gets protected more throughly in case of future bouts with tyranny. I have to think that good (work like this and just good in general) has to win but damn its going to be rough for a while.

Yeah that works so well - I had tried to come up with a way to use the bathtub to include adaptation and it really wasn't possible without stretching the analogy beyond utility.
