Shift

If you bike, take a look at www.shift2bikes.org for bike related happenings. We're not quite to pedalpalooza yet, but things are ramping up. This past Saturday had nine events.

Endless vegetarian food -- you could easily go only to pure veg restaurants. Suggestions would depend on where you'll be and types of food you enjoy. Take a look at HappyCow for everything from food truck to upscale options. Plus, almost everywhere else is veg friendly.

Boarding pass for DOH-SEA with "roasted red sweet pepper and goat cheese ravi" printed on it

A first for me: verbose meal selection printed on a boarding pass.

"Boarding group ravioli may now board..."

Can we work on faster trains instead?

Once upon a time (96? 97?), my friends and I registered zorg.edu (The Zorg Marine Biological - if I recall correctly.) It survived a few years, until we failed to show any form of actual academic affiliation. 🙃

I'll never grow old of looking out the window; plane or train.

Nope -- FRA-CLT

Can of coca-cola with "alto em" visible

It's been a long time since I've been served a foreign soda on a US flag carrier. 👍 for a Brazilian Coca-Cola on AA!

It's silly, but made my day.

Regional trains are underrated. I'm quite content listening to music while staring out into the German countryside.

HVV (hvv.de) continues to be one of the easiest ways to grab a Deutchland-Ticket: immediate purchase of a prorated ticket in-app (with Paypal payment) and immediately able to cancel (if it's before the 10th).

Now to ride some transit! 🚂🚋🚌🚇

Right on red needs to go away. If drivers stop at all, it's only after pulling all the way into the crosswalk.

It's a pleasure to bike in Europe without this behavior!

Ooh, I get the rare color photo :)

Ice cream sundae with cherry on top on an airplane

Last night's dessert brought me right back to the 2010s! (Those who know...)

Yeah… it’s not pretty.

I don’t think we have a best practices for this. @joshmoore.bsky.social may have more thoughts on this…

Most tools currently check for .zattrs or zarr.json to determine the version.

You’ll find .zattrs with the Zarr v2 version of the data, which we currently reference from images.jax.org: storage.googleapis.com/jax-public-n...

Part of the problem is that the NGFF challenge data is in Zarr v3 format. Instead of .zattrs, you get zarr.json: storage.googleapis.com/jax-public-n...

OME-NGFF Workflows Hackathon 2024 November 18th - 22nd | University of Zurich, Irchel Campus

I suspect we'll make progress at next week's OME-NGFF hackathon [ ema.uzh.ch/RM3FJ ]. Java is one of tracks, and John will be in attendance... I'm hoping we get standardized support for transforms done (including both multiscale and multimodality)

Correct. Data listing *is* disabled, but that is not a problem for NGFF. Fortunately, one does not have to guess filenames, thats's what the spec is for.

Can you try the links at bsky.app/profile/perl... ?

We don't allow data listing. If you click through the links above, the NGFF validator has no trouble accessing the data.

What Zarr client or viewer are you using to access the data? The N5-Java libraries used to expect local filesystem semantics (like list) but I thought that had been fixed.

Here are validator links for both versions of the data:

v2: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val...

v3: ome.github.io/ome-ngff-val...

What Zarr library are you using? Does it support v3 w/ sharding?

Can you try the Zarr v2 version of the data?

I am team window all the way. It's easier when there are no shades and you can look forward as well 😉. (These are from my flight to Friday Harbor Marina from South Lake Union)

The staff at BWI were happy to be working again. (It was sad to hear that contract staff were basically unpaid for the duration of the grounding.)

I'll be on one in a few hours! Today may be my first Alaska travel day of 2024 to go remotely close to plan. 🤞

My upgrade cleared on AS379 shortly before cancellation. Now I get the pleasure of flying a day later on AA through ORD in coach. 🙃
(The phone agents are working hard today!)

"Dear passenger, We’re currently expanding our fleet and are in the process of installing Wi-Fi on board all new aircraft. Your flight, FI597 on 02-January-2024 will be operated on one of our new Boeing 737 Max aircraft that unfortunately doesn’t have Wi-Fi yet."

This is the message I got for Tuesday's flight. TF-ICH is 5 years old! I received the same message on the outbound as well for two flights (one of which I did not take [strike irrops])

The conspiracy theorist in me thinks they send the broken planes to BWI. :P

7 MAX (one of which worked) and 1 767. Two of the flights generated an advance e-mail that the "new" aircraft would not have wifi. (2019 vintage). The network itself shows up about half the time.

It's very unimpressive :P

@wandrme.paxex.aero Are you still the expert on airline WiFi deployments? As of this trip, Icelandair is 1/8 for functioning WiFi on my flights in the past year. It's embarrassing when things like the wine list have QR codes.

Hell, today the map has my KEF-BWI flight stuck off of west africa.

Just lurking! But, while I'm here: I just got back from the southwest corner of your state. Absolutely fantastic.
