@HerraBRE as if by chance, this came up in my other social feeds just now:

https://blog.gtank.cc/modern-alternatives-to-pgp/

This is a superb write-up, such that I am now considering doing this in my community...

@cybette I've been meaning to set up a cloud based RStudio server, seems I have an excuse now...

@cybette and yes, that data exists, but probably not in a one-click form. You'd have to filter by region and go adding up the numbers. If I get a moment I can do that (or teach you a little R ... :P)

@cybette yeah, I don't really like heatmaps for that kind of thing. Where they do well, I think, is seasonality - e.g. "number of days where temp is below 0°C" is a very interesting map, especially if you're building a house (which a friend of mine is :p)

@gairsty @kelbot peeled, and if I have a moment I'll chop it into largish slices - makes it easier to add to the mixture from frozen. Not important though, a sharp knife will go through a frozen banana without too much effort.

@kelbot I usually freeze them, and then make banana bread once I have a few. Can share the actual recipe if you need it.

@kensanata yeah, that's pretty much my take. This seems easy to do and high impact, which suggests we should be pushing governments on land use and planting schemes, I guess...

@kensanata hmm, my understanding was that it specifically targeted unused land, but maybe I read that wrong...

@cybette OK, getting a bit carried away now, should go do real work - but here's something closer to your heart I think....

This is Ansible Meetups by day-of-year, summed over all the years we have data for:

#rstats #meetups #ansible

@cybette actually, those kind of things aren't to hard to generate for any date data - if you've got 2 columns (date, count) then it's a few lines.

Here's one I threw together quickly for all PRs *submitted* to `ansible/ansible` over 2017/2018 (i.e. the `created_at` date).

#rstats #ggplot2 #heatmap

I mean, yes, I knew planting trees helped, but not on that scale. Humans are *really* bad at estimating exponentials...

Ok, I did not see that coming...

“What blows my mind is the scale. I thought [forest] restoration would be in the top 10, but it is overwhelmingly more powerful than all of the other climate change solutions proposed.”

@kensanata interesting! At the risk of irritating you, are you aware of http://www.rinkworks.com/namegen/ ?
