Embeddings are not unique to openai.

It’s whatever you put in the playlist. There’s no surprises

Hexbear lmao

I’ve seen that term used for folks who go to a place seeking work in a large industry that will just accept all comers in the right season. An expat is sent on appointment, same company, different country, fixed time duration.

Perception is absolutely a thing though, I expect expats or similar wouldn’t describe themselves as migrant workers.

This is all ive ever seen in my career which includes lots of overseas work.

Sweet I’d say automate the boring stuff is excellent.

My meaning was python plus those things is an awesome world of hobby and professional development, that’s all. Lots of great projects can be even greater with python

Absolutely not. I’m in line with others.

I suggested a basic python book, then listed topics to get into next. They didn’t discount they already work in gis, it acknowledges they said they want to learn how to code and apply it to GIS.

Did not, I’m describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying “do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things.” Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn’t advised.

Why are you being combative? I’m not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.

I’ve got no ill will for OP.

Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That’s ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities

Agree, I don’t think I went against that. I certainly didn’t say it’s JUST geojson and web map. That was just a list of keywords. I opened by saying these are more things to get excited about.

If it’s just esri (they said q too), but if it’s just esri, automate the boring stuff + arcpy and you’ll be a happy camper.

Cartographic stuff is super simple in any framework. Data processing and network topology are great things to study that aren’t web map. Remote sensing is the coolest shit and you can literally get free imagery and use free tools to make surface analysis and identification…not as a super raw beginner, but not long after.

Learning about the common open source file formats, storage strategies, and processing libraries is attainable (and desirable) by a beginner who has automate the boring stuff under their belt

Jumping straight into esri and staying there, without getting some general education, is a good way to end up not knowing much about python, and generally developing weaker workflows.and automations, in my professional experience.

Like I said, learn some python basics and good habits, then consider gis.

Get the basics locked.in before dipping into GIS.

Edit, because someone misunderstood me… You’ll have an easier time extending your existing GIS work by getting a nice foundation of non GIS python skills.

There’s a lot of odd patterns and domain specific requirements in the spatial data world, not even mentioning the nasty beast that esri is.

Provided you listen to my above advice, here are some other keywords that will help excite the home-gis dev: geopandas, (pandas), geojson, geopackage, QGIS, leaflet (not python but easy to connect a leaflet frontend with a python backend), openstreermaps, map box, earthexplorer (USGS free aerial imagery of lots of imagery types)

If it must be esri based, arcpy is a popular library.

Checks out, I’ve seen a baby duck there, I don’t think it flew in

I’d say don’t think to much. Get some thin sport material ones and see how you do. If you’re still cold, get thicker ones.

It’s not a waste, you’ll find a time to wear the thin ones

I’d separate oh boy from hey man. Hey man is directed at someone, oh boy is just a remark about the state of things

Who would be misgendered by saying it? You aren’t referring to the person you are speaking to when you say it imo, it’s a hypothetical boy

Then backup whatever you set your docker local storage to?

Not the point of this thread. The point is the value of government employees existing.

Yappin. I acknowledged the US system is not ideal, the point is we need an IRS and frankly need them to do MORE to be more like other countries.

Even in Europe they have government employees “filing” the taxes on their end. It’s just much better. Every country needs a tax department like the IRS.

Like, are you suggesting you do ALL the work of processing and accruing taxes and the IRS employees do nothing?

I’m not defending the US system where citizens have to prepare their own taxes, but the implied suggestion that IRS employees don’t do something critical is silly.
