Y también sigo pensando que llegamos a la cumbre de las redes sociales con Path (el formato, la empresa era turbia como todas las redes sociales) y desde entonces hemos ido a peor en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_(s...

It was a blast to attend the GeoPython 2025! The talks were super interesting, now that I’m going through some notes. And what a gorgeous city is Basel 😁

And as a side note, the School of Architecture, Civil Engineering and Geomatics of FHNW is an incredible building 😍

This week I’m in Basel for the GeoPython 2025 – I’m giving a talk tomorrow on scaling traditional geospatial techniques to the cloud. Let me know if anyone is around! 🌍

A week ago I received my new Glove80: a split, ortholinear keyboard. It's a beautiful machine, it's just a shame that I don't know how to use it. I am learning how to touch type *properly* and... it's more or less working, but it's a struggle

Qué locura de café el de hoy, La Pradera de Café de Finca. Proceso anaeróbico con fermentación en fresas, huele como un té mientras lo haces pero luego es un sabor a fresa equilibrado con el resto del café. Una maravilla ☕️ elnoanoa.es/5-calendario...

Y ahora mismo estoy tomando una taza de Rwanda Cyendajuru de Bluebell Coffee, un café que aparece etiquetado como proceso natural pero que me está pareciendo muy muy clásico elnoanoa.es/4-calendario...

Ayer no pude hacer update porque estuve todo el día fuera pero me tomé tremendo termo de Black Diamond de Atmans Coffee en mi #cafendario, un café muy poderoso a pesar de que la receta usaba una ratio de agua más alta de la que suelo usar. Una maravilla! elnoanoa.es/3-calendario...

Hoy en el #cafendario voy a cambiar de idioma porque son tostadores españoles. Tenemos Astro Coffee Roasters con su Spiralogy, un café de Java muy muy claro y suave. Buena taza (o tazas porque he hecho dos) para un lunes ☕️

No sé si lo sabéis pero en Sol hay un punto en el que puedes ponerle el sombrero del Tío Pepe a Carlos III
Una foto de la estatua ecuestre de Carlos III alineado con el cartel de Tío Pepe, de tal forma que la botella del sombrero se alinea con la estatua.

First day of advent means first day of #cafendario, a coffee advent calendar with 24 coffees from Spanish roasters. First one: Kenia Kiagundu AA from Amauta Coffee Roasters. So full and rich, almost buttery, with a slight fermented tang. Amazing ☕️

I think I’ve never posted about it, but I have been shooting film photography for several years now, and this little toy is my pride and joy. I’m taking a roll to be developed just today, so expect results in a week or so 🎞️

After a week testing Bluesky, I think we can make it official. I just pushed the change to replace the Mastodon link for the Bluesky one in the nav bar of my blog, diego.codes
The navigation bar of my blog (https://diego.codes), where Bluesky is now the third link.

I didn't knew I could use GREATEST for pattern-matching columns like this in BigQuery, and I was pleasantly surprised 👏
A snippet showing the following BigQuery SQL code: ``` CASE GREATEST(urban_area, rural_area, industrial_area) WHEN urban_area THEN 'urban' WHEN rural_area THEN 'rural' WHEN industrial_area THEN 'industrial' END AS most_common_use ```

Entre la calle Segovia y la Plaza de la Paja tenemos esta joya en Madrid, los jardines del Príncipe de Anglona. Unos jardines de noble de la corte madrileña del siglo XVIII en medio de la ciudad.
Unos jardines con setos que confluyen en una fuente de granito, con acacias alrededor. Detrás del jardín se intuye la Catedral Castrense.

Carabanchel el otoño es 🍂🍁🌰
Varios árboles con hojas verdes, amarillas y marrones con un cielo nublado de fondo. De algunas ramas cuelgan castañas.

Today’s morning brew is a natural-processed, incredibly slow-dripping Red Catuai from Cerrado Mineiro 🇧🇷
A V60 brewing coffee on mug that says “Weird Coffee Person” on top of a coffee scale. In the background you see a kettle and the coffee bag that of a roaster called “Martín Tostador”

After moving recently, I just configured again my Homebridge setup to control dumb devices from
Apple Home (including my place’s air conditioner). Reverse engineering the codes is a chore but absolutely worth it. If you are interested, I left some notes here: diegovicente.notion.site/Configuring-...
The air conditioner setup on the iOS Home app. It shows the heater mode enable on 21°C and the controls to change it using the phone.

These days I’m moving to a new place with no utensils and I just ran into a bootstrapping issue with my kitchenware
A photo of kitchen scissors in their packaging, where two zip ties keeping it on a cardboard. A photo of the same scissors out of their packaging, where one of the zip ties is still there because it is necessary to cut it to remove it.
