  1. 🔥 The Green Illusion: Why Zoning-Level Analysis Changes the Picture

    📊 Gross community statistics can be misleading. When measuring an entire neighborhood, large municipal parks and green buffers inflate the overall 'greenness' score.

    ❗ When we filter the data down exclusively to actual Residential Land Use Districts in established communities, the picture changes significant:
    🔹 Unvegetated/Impervious surfaces (Solid) explode to ~80% (79.22%) of the total zoned area.
    🔹 Vegetative classes collapse: Functional lawns and canopy cover are compressed into narrow margins (Lawn: 2.15%, Forest: 0.59%), with community-level sparsed trees (Park) accounting for only 17.87%.

    ☝️ Moving from macro-boundaries to parcel-level zoning exposes the true physical density of Calgary’s residential footprint.

  5. Most "big data" projects are just expensive ways to collect noise. You don't need a bigger pipe, you need a sharper question before you start filling it. A hypothesis forces you to decide what signal actually matters, then you scale that. Without it, you're just paying for storage and calling it insight. #bigdata #datascience #analytics

  6. I have created {collapse} and {fastverse} skills for claude code, as well as an experimental skill for scientific plotting in R: github.com/fastverse/skills

    If you want to write parsimonious and super-fast production-grade R code that is unlikely to break following package updates, these skills – based on package documentation and my own usage across various research codebases – now give your agents expert knowledge in operating the {fastverse}.

    Happy vibe-coding .

  10. Thanks to John A for this horrifying news from #climate hero Bill McKibben [350.org]

    "76.9 degrees Fahrenheit...

    That was the average temperature for the lower 48 states in July, according to just-released federal #statistics, making it the hottest month in American history, 3.3 degrees hotter than the twentieth-century average."
