River bank and Gorge as Highway

Today morning, I saw couples of fascinating pictures; highway in the Kali Gandaki gorge, Nepal. This 93km long highway connects the Himalayan district Mustang's capital Jomsom with Lo Mangthang, Mustang. Typically a carrier takes 9 hours to accomplish the journey in this dangerous road.



Pictures are taken by Chandra S. Kari, the photo journalist of Nagariknews.com.

Extract Raster Values from Points

The R blog article encourages me to write this solution to extract Raster values from points in R. In geospatial analysis, extracting the raster value of a point is a common task. If you have few raster files or few points; you can extract the raster value by overlaying a point on the top of the raster using ArcGIS. What will you do, if you have hundreds of raster files and thousands of points? The easy solution is use loop in Python and ArcGIS. Is loop efficient to use? No. Can loop be avoided? Yes. Then how?  Follow the steps: Step 1: Create a Raster stack or Raster brick of your raster files using “raster” package in R . For example: rasStack = stack(raster1, raster2,raster3 …rasterN) Step 2:   Read point data, and convert them into spatial points data frame. Sample: pointfile.csv Point_ID LONGITUDE LATITUDE 1 48.765863             -...

Instruct GIT not to track a specific file

In scenarios like you have a configuration file in  a remote repo for the production environment, and you don’t want to commit the changes to this configuration file made from local.  How do you instruct git to do not track the local changes? --skip-worktree is what you need. git update-index --skip-worktree <filepath/file_name> After index update git won't show you the file in working tree. If you want to track the changes update-index as  git update-index --no-skip-worktree <filepath/file_name>
