Analysing Roman itineraries using GIS tooling

link.springer.com/article/10.1

SpringerLinkAnalysing Roman itineraries using GIS tooling: the case of the road XIX (mansions from Tude to Luco Augusti) - Archaeological and Anthropological SciencesReconstruction of the Roman road network must be approached from different methodologies of multidisciplinary character. Once the traditional approaches have been exhausted without achieving a historiographical consensus, the problem may appear insurmountable. However, leveraging Geographic Information Systems (GIS) provides an avenue for re-evaluating existing proposals and suggesting more fitting layouts. This can be accomplished through a meticulous analysis that incorporates topographic and non-Euclidean correlations; allowing a more nuanced and accurate understanding of the subject matter than conventional methods might offer. In this context, the aim of this article is to discuss intriguing research points. But also emphasize the importance of multidisciplinary and multi-proxy studies in relation with the Roman terrestrial networks. We explore a case study in the Galician territory, where we have detected methodological shortcomings reconstructing the route of the XIX road: Item Bracaram Asturicam. One of the sections, from Tude to Luco Augusti, has aroused a greater debate, based on several basic problems: (1) the identification of the mansions, (2) the lack of consensus in the measurements of the distances, (3) the miles referred to in the classical sources, and (4) the complex orography of this territory. To propose answers and theories, that may solve the current problems of the description of this route of the XIX road, a multi- proxy approached methodology is proposed. Thus, by applying Geographic Information Systems techniques, we will be able to calculate the optimal path, and compare the results with historical data and archaeological evidence.

Netencode: I’m currently building out my project of making a “better” structured language for use in UNIX-pipelines and shell scripting and the like.

It’s human-readable, but supports trivial generation with printf & wc, tagged values (sum types, Result<T>) and embedding arbitrary binaries without escaping due to being length-prefixed.

I think it’s pretty cool!

“What seems rather dangerous about #Hollywood’s interest in #GenerativeAI isn’t the “death” of the larger #StudioSystem, but rather this #technology’s potential to make it easier for studios to work with *fewer actual people*.

That’s literally one of Asteria’s big selling points, and if its #workflows became the industry norm, it is hard to imagine it scaling in a way that could accommodate today’s #entertainment #workforce transitioning into new #careers.

As for what’s good about it, Mooser knows the right talking points. Now he has to show that his #tech — and all the changes it entails — can work.”

React-like functional webcomponents, but with vanilla HTML, JS and CSS

Introducing Dim – a new #Framework that brings #ReactJS-like functional #JSX-syntax with #VanillaJS. Check it out here:
🔗 Project: github.com/positive-intentions
🔗 Website: dim.positive-intentions.com

My journey with #WebComponents started with Lit, and while I appreciated its native browser support (less #Tooling!), coming from #ReactJS, the class components felt like a step backward. The #FunctionalProgramming approach in React significantly improved my #DeveloperExperience and debugging flow.

So, I set out to build a thin, functional wrapper around #Lit, and Dim is the result! It's a #ProofOfConcept right now, with "main" #Hooks similar to React, plus some custom ones like useStore for #EncryptionAtRest. (Note: #StateManagement for encryption-at-rest is still unstable and currently uses a hardcoded password while I explore #Passwordless options like #WebAuthn/#Passkeys).

You can dive deeper into the #Documentation and see how it works here:
📚 Dim Docs: positive-intentions.com/docs/c

This #OpenSource project is still in its early stages and very #Unstable, so expect #BreakingChanges. I've already received valuable #Feedback on some functions regarding #Security, and I'm actively investigating those. I'm genuinely open to all feedback as I continue to develop it!
