Anybody on here going to be at Schematic Mapping Workshop in Paris this year? How about drinks on Wednesday evening? (Posting in case anybody is even here anymore; find me as tvdmaps on sky app.)

[Robert Komaniecki @Komaniecki_R]

This is the dream… thousands of dollars of equipment, tooting on a bizarre doohickey, making music that sounds like frogs listen to it…

Word of the day: Poissonize. ("In some of the proofs it is useful to Poissonize.")

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

Come work with me? I have a fully funded PhD vacancy "Algorithm Engineering" at TU Eindhoven.

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

The PhD TA position is for 5 years with 25% of your time spent on education. Full vacancy text and application link here: https://t.co/w4TxyLjTV9

(* Java does have primitive types, of course. But calling something a "reference type" doesn't make it not a pointer.)

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

Pet peeve: people saying Java doesn't have pointers. Java ONLY has pointers!* Stop making people be scared of pointers.

What did they do to Tim?! 😱

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

People tend to get the Turing Test slightly wrong – I think. https://t.co/sZwWggciHa

Kein Grund sich an das Fahr- und Parkverbot zu halten, wenn man trocken zum Bäcker kommen möchte.

In @bochum_de sehen die Verkehrsüberwachung und die Polizei großzügig weg oder nutzen im Falle der Polizei (@polizei_nrw_bo) vermeintliche Sonderrechte beim Einkauf.

📍With just a few lines of code, you can now overlay historic maps on a @LeafletJS map with the new Allmaps plugin. See https://t.co/gokdS7ILoH to try it out‼️

The program of the 7th ACM SIGSPATIAL International Workshop on Geospatial Humanities (#GeoHumanities23) is now online: https://t.co/GVMOqsSY4s See you in Hamburg @SIGSPATIAL_GIS on November 13 w/ @khetiwe24 @bgmartins @hu_xuke

[René Westerholt @rwesterh87]

Time for another RAM Colloquium!

Thomas van Dijk (@tvdmaps) will discuss how to improve geovisualisation through mathematical optimisation. The full abstract is in the image below.

Fr, 8 December, 10am CET
Hybrid (GBIII/214 and on Zoom)

Visualizing Geophylogenies – Internal and External Labeling with Phylogenetic Tree Constraints; with Jonathan Klawitter, Joris Y. Scholl, Felix Klesen, Alexander Zaft

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

I had a great time at #GIScience in Leeds last week! Check out my talk about visualising geophylogenies (video link below) or get the open access full text here: https://t.co/clHuKhvvQ9

[Thomas van Dijk @tvdmaps]

Here are the main results.
• Formalise the problem
• Efficient algorithm for internal labeling
• Crossing minimisation is NP-hard, but can be solved efficiently with an ILP or heuristics.
