To who

Sweet I’d say automate the boring stuff is excellent.

My meaning was python plus those things is an awesome world of hobby and professional development, that’s all. Lots of great projects can be even greater with python

Absolutely not. I’m in line with others.

I suggested a basic python book, then listed topics to get into next. They didn’t discount they already work in gis, it acknowledges they said they want to learn how to code and apply it to GIS.

Did not, I’m describing things you can do with gis across the spectrum, ESRI or not, preferably once you have a decent python foundation. Edit I and others are saying “do some non GIS projects in python FIRST, then explore these GIS related things.” Because jumping to scripting in arc pro alone isn’t advised.

Why are you being combative? I’m not hating on them at all. I literally just rattled off common file formats, libraries, and projects to consider. The original comment says they scraped a few things together from tutorials, and I and other comments are discussing how to build a strong foundation, then extend it.

I’ve got no ill will for OP.

Knowing how to script a bit in arc pro does not really mean you know anything about python, or programming for GIS at even a basic professional level. That’s ok, no hate, everyone starts out. Checking out various software, formats and libraries, in addition to getting the python basics down will open a huge world of projects and even work opportunities

Agree, I don’t think I went against that. I certainly didn’t say it’s JUST geojson and web map. That was just a list of keywords. I opened by saying these are more things to get excited about.

If it’s just esri (they said q too), but if it’s just esri, automate the boring stuff + arcpy and you’ll be a happy camper.

Cartographic stuff is super simple in any framework. Data processing and network topology are great things to study that aren’t web map. Remote sensing is the coolest shit and you can literally get free imagery and use free tools to make surface analysis and identification…not as a super raw beginner, but not long after.

Learning about the common open source file formats, storage strategies, and processing libraries is attainable (and desirable) by a beginner who has automate the boring stuff under their belt

Jumping straight into esri and staying there, without getting some general education, is a good way to end up not knowing much about python, and generally developing weaker workflows.and automations, in my professional experience.

Like I said, learn some python basics and good habits, then consider gis.

Get the basics locked.in before dipping into GIS.

Edit, because someone misunderstood me… You’ll have an easier time extending your existing GIS work by getting a nice foundation of non GIS python skills.

There’s a lot of odd patterns and domain specific requirements in the spatial data world, not even mentioning the nasty beast that esri is.

Provided you listen to my above advice, here are some other keywords that will help excite the home-gis dev: geopandas, (pandas), geojson, geopackage, QGIS, leaflet (not python but easy to connect a leaflet frontend with a python backend), openstreermaps, map box, earthexplorer (USGS free aerial imagery of lots of imagery types)

If it must be esri based, arcpy is a popular library.

It’s inherently risky because online data can be stale. It’s inherently terroristic because you are essentially saying “hey anyone, go do anything in a normal neighborhood, your enemy is there”. What if there’s a shootout of Fuentes front yard and a bystander is killed? That’s net positive violence for the community that wouldn’t have happened otherwise.

As you said, reddit Boston bomber. That’s another alternative if online sleuthing goes wrong.

Back to my original point: doxxing high profile maga types will popularize the activity, and once they latch on in response they will do it with zero care or caution. You may say they are doing it already, I’m saying once it’s plastered across their nrws feeds they will do it a whole lot more.

That’s MORE net new innocent people put in harms way.

There are effective and existing ways to carry out whatever violence or vengeance or self defence. Doxxing isn’t one of them. Being trained in concealed carry and using a gun is not alike doxxing. Doxxing is like a bomb.

Being armed is fine. Looking after your people is great. Not taking any shit is great. If you feel you need to confront people, do it with a level of accuracy.

Armchair general comment.

They never happened in an American neighborhood and you know it.

Attacking Nazis in an active warzone is not the same as sending people to a random neighborhood with little proof of your event at the right house.

As I said in the comment, Nick Fuentes is trash, but so is doxxing. Innocent people get hurt when people doxx.

I never said don’t defend yourself or even take the fight to people like him. Just don’t do things that will get innocent people hurt.

But whatever y’all just want to act tough and not care about consequences

Edit saying doxxing is the right tool is like saying “if you’re shot at, leave a bomb in a public place where you think your enemy goes”

I’d separate oh boy from hey man. Hey man is directed at someone, oh boy is just a remark about the state of things

Who would be misgendered by saying it? You aren’t referring to the person you are speaking to when you say it imo, it’s a hypothetical boy

4 blue lights!!

Sharing my opinion that I think doxxing is dangerous does not obligate me to provide a solution, but to humor you, I’d focus on looking after your people, sticking together, and organizing. These maga clowns thrive on building “others” they can isolate and abuse.

I never said do nothing. Just don’t do things that can accidentally hurt innocent people. I also know I didn’t vote for him.

One of my fears, aside from popularizing the practice, is mistaken address, and innocent people being hurt. So yeah, it would sure help that 100%.

Regarding the first point, I believe doxxing high profile people does indeed popularize it, so yeah, it would help that too.

Untrue. I never said do nothing, I am saying don’t do things that can hurt bystanders or popularize hiding at risk folks

This commenter passes the society test lol

They are indeed a weird cult, but is the problem (as specifically relates to the above comment) that they are weird (more than weird hah) or that they challenged the party? Imo addressing that is what the original comment was about.

Right? The above commenter never said they were a fan of them, just that they eventually got into position to challenge the central government.

Now that is a vintage meme

1. Someone shits on the floor. Should we?
2. They’ve shown time and time again they latch into media trends like the garbage outfit, the ear bandaid, the election official suspicion. If doxxing becomes more widespread, net new people will be harmed
3. Indeed he is a dip shit
