10 min video by Not Just Bikes.

Copenhagen is a great city, but it's not Amsterdam ... or any other Dutch city for that matter. This video explores the differences in street design taken by Copenhagen and citites in the Netherlands, to discover some of the finer points of what makes for great urban design.

Germany has adopted a national hydrogen strategy

OPSIN: Open Parser for Systematic IUPAC Nomenclature

OPSIN is the (open source) standard for parsing IUPAC names.

OPSIN source code is on Github

European Clean Hydrogen Alliance - European Commission

The European Clean Hydrogen Alliance brings together industry, national and local public authorities, civil society and other stakeholders. It is strongly anchored in the hydrogen value chain, covering renewable and low-carbon hydrogen from production via transmission to mobility, industry, energy, and heating applications.

Common Chemistry - Search Chemical Names and CAS Registry Numbers

Search by chemical name or CAS registry number.

By CAS, the American Chemical Society.

Xemistry Web Sketcher

Sketch a chemical structure in the browser.
Also has built-in functions for producing Wikipedia ChemBox for the structure (cool!).

Chemical Identifier Resolver - NCI/CADD

This service works as a resolver for different chemical structure identifiers and allows one to convert a given structure identifier into another representation or structure identifier. It can help you identify and find the chemical structure if you have an identifier such as an InChIKey.

Does not seem to work right now, though.

Tailscale

This could perhaps be a much more stable alternative to my reverse SSH tunnels for keeping connections with various servers, especially desktops inside FM-NET and other machines inside other LANs.
The main downside is that Tailscale is not FOSS. So perhaps we should look for other solutions built on WireGuard, or perhaps learn to configure WireGuard directly.

Hantera data - Svensk Nationell Datatjänst

På SND:s hemsida lanseras nu nya sidor om datahantering riktade till forskare. Materialet som tagits fram är tänkt att ge en överblick över datahantering i forskningsprojekt och erbjuda stöd genom hela forskningsprocessen, från planeringsstadiet till projektslut.

Install Guide - for the MDS software stack

These are such valuable guides (macOS, Windows, and Ubuntu), for @ubcmds and beyond. Installing a whole data science stack IS HARD. Enjoy and provide feedback!

@joelostblom & I just finished our install guide for the @UBCMDS #datascience software stack across Ubuntu, Mac & Window. Got a new machine that you need to install the #datascience software stack on? Test drive our guide & report any issues!

For macOS, Ubuntu and Windows.
This guide consists of written instructions. Could easily be turned into an Ansible playbook, I think.
