I'm extremely fascinated by maps and by terminal graphics. terrahour is both: a world map in the terminal that shows where it's day, where it's night, and what time it is in your city.
pipx install terrahour

Only tested by hand on Linux, so if you try it on a Mac, tell me how it goes.
Came across this requirement while applying for jobs. Before even offering an interview, the company expects applicants to build a web-based customer-management app with CRUD functionality, package it as a single HTML file, and email it along with their CV.
I understand using a technical exercise later in the hiring process, once the company has spoken to the candidate and established mutual interest. But asking every applicant to build an entire mock application before even having a conversation seems absurd.
Would you bother applying?
I put together a little interactive map of the percentage of people who reported being able to speak Irish in each county, using census data going back to 1851. (It's the share of the population, not the raw headcount.)

A few things you can do with it:
Data is from the CSO (data.cso.ie), and the county shapes are from Ordnance Survey Ireland. Fair warning: the census questions changed a lot over the years, so old and recent numbers aren't perfectly comparable, I put a note about that on the page.

EDIT: Northern Ireland is now included, thanks to everyone who flagged it. The six counties are in for the censuses where the figures exist (1851 to 1911, and 1991 onwards), and show as "no data" for the gap in between when the North didn't ask the question. NI figures compiled by u/phelimbirch.
So every council in Ireland has to keep a public register of derelict sites, but they're all in random PDFs and spreadsheets scattered across different council websites, basically impossible to look at in one go. It kept annoying me so I put them all on a map. Link's here
Got 26 of the 31 councils on there so far, about 2,200 sites. You can click a pin for the address, filter down to your own county, search, and download the data if you're into that sort of thing. According to the registers the whole lot is valued at around €210 million, which is a bit mad.
Couple of things to be straight about: it's not an official source, and the pins are geocoded from the addresses so some are only roughly in the right spot. Don't take a marker as proof that one specific house is derelict. I also don't show any owner or occupier details even though the registers list them, didn't feel right putting that up. And five councils (Kerry, Longford, Cavan, Clare, Galway County) don't publish their register online at all, so they're just flagged as not available.
It's free and open source, and there's a link on the site to report anything that's wrong.
