  • You might want to consider working either hourly or on a project basis as a contractor. You would have deliverables with deadlines you could meet them on your own time, or simply bill for the time you spend.

    You can perhaps look into “midlance” where you have a middle man getting a cut who is responsible for lining up work for you (after which you manage the relationship with the client).

    Maybe more common where I live but vacancies will sometimes mention “flexible hours” explicitly, especially remote jobs. Then you can ask them clarify in the interview what their prospective on flexibility looks like.







  • Yes, only European cities covered by Eurostat. I tried to cover this in the about section but it basically boils down to processing time, my own available time and to a lesser extent storage.

    It took me more than a week to process 2013-2023 for the included areas, which is roughly 10TB of raw imagery (with less than 60% cloud cover).

    The Eurostat urban extents, for the most part, delineate urban areas with a detailed vector dataset. This is something that I also couldn’t find on a global scale.

    I’m not decided yet on expanding the extents, which also depends on if people actually find this useful. However, it is open source (AGPL) so it can easily be forked and adapted.











  • Interesting, but if I have to use Windows then I would consider Conda depending on my dependency situation.

    I don’t particularly like Conda, or Windows, but what I like even less is manually finding wheels for my project. For something like GDAL, I wouldn’t even try on Windows without Conda. I think it’s also easy for a beginner to get up and running with this setup.

    My preferred setup is pyenv on Linux with poetry :)
