Modern water treatment may be the most important life-saving invention of the human race. If these people forgo this, that's on them (but also their vulnerable children), but know what the outcomes can be: bacteria, parasites, cholera, dysentery, typhoid, and other horrible, preventable illnesses.

Finally, a story about #water on Mars that doesn't refer to #groundwater as an "underground ocean". Interesting work. www.innovationnewsnetwork.com/water-on-mar...

Thanks for all your efforts on The Last Drop @timsmedley.bsky.social. It's a fantastic overview of the water emergency and even as a hydrologist I really learnt a lot. Anything you would change in the book following your recent work on degrowth?

Wow I love supercomputers! Just finished a run in 4 hours that would have taken 18 days on my laptop. We have come a long way since these were a thing 💾

Just unfollowed 502 accounts, please dont take it personally. I got a bit excited clicking on all those starter packs and my feed stopped reflected what I wanted it to be about. Clicking is a bit of a drag so I wrote a little program to talk to the API and do it for me, thanks @bsky.app!

One of my favourite data discoveries this year: Google's mind-blowing ARCO-ERA5 dataset: hourly data for ~300 climate variables, available globally from 1940! 🤯 Loadable with a single line of Python code from a single cloud-friendly Zarr file! Below: a month of wind waves + swell: 🌊

If your home/livelihood are ever more frequently wrecked or threatened by severe flooding, and you've been wondering why, this graphic (plus climate breakdown) tells you all you need to know.

I imagine a lot more would get done if leadership at #COP29 looked like this.

Genuine question, is @calnewport.bsky.social really Cal? Digital minimalism and all that

So #clojure folk, what is the status now of creating binaries? I know it's somewhat a dumb thing to do but it would make sharing CLI tools with colleagues easier

BlueSky is so much easier than writing my paper! Looking forward to reading about the dip in global research output that happened around the end of 2024 Thanks @bsky.app
