OSMnx: Python for Street Networks


http://geoffboeing.com/2016/11/osmnx-python-street-networks/

Check out the journal article about OSMnx.
OSMnx is a Python package for downloading administrative boundary shapes and street networks from OpenStreetMap. It allows you to easily construct, project, visualize, and analyze complex street networks in Python with NetworkX. You can get a city’s or neighborhood’s walking, driving, or biking network with a single line of Python code. Then you can simply visualize cul-de-sacs or one-way streets, plot shortest-path routes, or calculate stats like intersection density, average node connectivity, or betweenness centrality. You can download/cite the paper here.
In a single line of code, OSMnx lets you download, construct, and visualize the street network for, say, Modena Italy:

2
import osmnx as ox
ox.plot_graph(ox.graph_from_place('Modena, Italy'))
OSMnx: Modena Italy networkx street network in Python from OpenStreetMap

Logic Analyzer with STM32 Boards

https://sysprogs.com/w/how-we-turned-8-popular-stm32-boards-into-powerful-logic-analyzers/ How We Turned 8 Popular STM32 Boards into Powerful Logic Analyzers March 23, 2017 Ivan Shcherbakov The idea of making a “soft logic analyzer” that will run on top of popular prototyping boards has been crossing my mind since we first got acquainted with the STM32 Discovery and Nucleo boards. The STM32 GPIO is blazingly fast and the built-in DMA controller looks powerful enough to handle high bandwidths. So having that in mind, we spent several months perfecting both software and firmware side and here is what we got in the end. Capturing the signals The main challenge when using a microcontroller like STM32 as a core of a logic analyzer is dealing with sampling irregularities. Unlike FPGA-based analyzers, the microcontroller has to share the same resources to load instructions from memory, read/write th...

Why Those Who Overcame Poverty Have Less Sympathy for the Poor

https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/psychology-money-and-happiness/202207/why-those-who-overcame-poverty-have-less-sympathy-the/amp The surprising science behind our attitudes toward those in poverty. Posted July 19, 2022 Reviewed by Ekua Hagan Key points People often use shortcuts, such as vivid stories of someone they personally know, to decide how to judge others living in scarcity. One study found that those who "became rich" had less sympathy for those currently experiencing poverty than those who were "born rich." Steve Jobs is an example of a wealthy public figure who came from humble beginnings and was notoriously un-philanthropic. We all love an inspiring success story where the protagonist overcomes adversity, defeats any and all obstacles that stand in the...
