Show HN: Curated List of Online Learning https://ift.tt/3gI0BDr

Show HN: Curated List of Online Learning Hi HN, The discussion pops up regularly about which MOOCs and courses to take so I figured I'd start a curated list of recommendations. It's by no means exhaustive (and it's just the ones I know) and is quite broad. If you had any suggestions, feel free to create a PR or Issue, or even respond to this post and I will add it. I'd love to be able to capture quality somehow, but not sure of the way to go about that just yet. https://ift.tt/3gGyVik December 13, 2020 at 05:31AM

Show HN: Probably the most comprehensive weather API currently available https://ift.tt/3gFSreN

Show HN: Probably the most comprehensive weather API currently available This was posted before but I'm quite pleased to share a major update for https://oikolab.com. We now have available seven decades of hourly weather data starting from 1950 for any location in the world, thanks to the recent publication of ERA5 reanalysis data from European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF). ERA5 is gap-free, gridded dataset generated using data assimilation method (https://ift.tt/2sZYnWj), similar to NWP models but with the benefit of hindsight. As far as we're aware of, we're the first weather data service provider to have this extensive range of coverage accessible via REST API, where one can quickly query time-series of weather parameters for any location in seconds rather than hours or days from the original source. Here are some stats: Coverage: Global, from 1950 to 10 days ahead Spatial Resolution: 0.25 deg x 0.25 deg (lat x lon) Temporal Resolution: Hourly Weathe

Milestones on the Waterfront

Milestones on the Waterfront By Benjamin Barnett Over the summer, the SFMTA and Port of San Francisco broke ground on the Embarcadero Quick-Build Projects , bringing protected bikeways to the Embarcadero between Bay and North Point streets and Harrison and Mission streets, freeing space for pedestrians along its iconic Promenade. Just last month, Public Works and SFMTA crews substantially completed the centerpiece of this effort, The Embarcadero’s first segment of two-way protected bikeway - by installing 47 concrete islands, striping and signage changes, and a new bike signal at Howard Street. Now open in front of the Ferry Terminal between Mission and Folsom streets, this bikeway directly connects with the Folsom/Howard corridor and will be fully completed in early 2021 with the installation of metal railings. Our staff will also conduct a user survey and project evaluation in spring 2021 in connection with the Embarcadero Enhancement Project.  Check out the progress that has been

Show HN: After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue https://ift.tt/2VXh1OK

Show HN: After 2.5 years on my side project, it has hit £500/month revenue It's been a long slow hog and I almost gave up a few times (more than a few) but when covid hit this year it gave me some time to really focus on my product. There were stupid user journey things that I knew needed fixed. There were some features I knew needed added. And I knew the pricing was wrong. I spent some hardcore time working on these things back in March / April and since then my MRR has continued to grow. My product is SongBox ( https://songbox.rocks ) - it's an alternative to things like bandcamp and soundcloud for creators who need to share audio files privately. I'm at a stage now where I've bottomed out all the work I've wanted to do and I'm looking for a fresh round of feedback. Would love you guys to check it out and see what you can think of. Thanks!

Understanding Upcoming Muni Service Changes

Understanding Upcoming Muni Service Changes By Mariana Maguire In December and January 2021 the SFMTA will phase back in surface rail on the J Church and T Third . This will free up buses so we can bring back more routes like the 27 Bryant, extend bus service on other routes and continue to manage crowding on routes like the 38 Geary and 14 Mission. We also have more buses available for lines like the 5 Fulton and 33 Ashbury. You may be wondering, “how is Muni able to add service?” Or, “why some routes but not others?” Three key factors guide our service decisions: Service priorities Available vehicles Ongoing constraints to Muni service Service Priorities Our service planners look at the Muni system as a whole. Our goal is to provide as much consistent, reliable service as possible even though our resources are limited due to an ongoing budget deficit. These service changes in response to the evolving public health emergency will add new connections to different parts of th

Upcoming Muni Service Expansions Phase-in Rail Service, Add Bus Service

Upcoming Muni Service Expansions Phase-in Rail Service, Add Bus Service By Mariana Maguire Graphic: Updated  core service map, effective December 19, showing the temporary J Church surface rail route. On Saturday, December 19, the SFMTA will gradually start to bring back Muni Metro service by rail and increase bus service, including resuming several routes based on community feedback. Muni Metro begins resuming rail service on December 19 with the J Church between Balboa Park Station and Church and Duboce streets. On January 23, the T Third resumes rail service between Sunnydale and Embarcadero Station once safety and operational improvements are finished at Embarcadero Station. These two rail changes will put more operators back on Muni and free up to 20 buses, allowing us to extend routes, increase frequencies, resume service like the 27 Bryant, and bring two new lines into service: the 55 Dogpatch and the 15 Bayview-Hunters Point Express. The full 33 Ashbury-18th Street will a
