Minecraft shoved the whole UK



It turns out that in the State of ordnance survey of great Britain (Ordnance Survey) also have fans of the game Minecraft. To demonstrate what can be done with open map data they have carried out great experiment and imported into the game world the entire country.

22 billion Minecraft blocks correspond to more than 220 000 km2 the UK and surrounding Islands. The map did not hit Northern Ireland, because of its cartographic survey engaged in another organization.

To repeat the experiment of the State mapping service of great Britain can each developer, using the open datasets and instrumentami.

The import program processes a Minecraft maps in areas of 100x100 km, for each load information on the height of land above sea level from the base of OS Terrain 50, then loaded the raster images with maps OS VectorMap District. Color each square of 20x20 pixels is determined by what material the unit should be Minecraft. For example, the roads were made of emeralds, pumpkins and gold coastline — sand, forest — leaves, meadow — grass, urban development — of the bricks, the water — from the water.

Each block corresponds to an area of about 50 m2.

You'll need 5 GB of free disk space and 4 GB of RAM, the size of the world in the form of decompressed is a 3.6 GB. Archive with cubic Kingdom is 345 MB: Minecraft-GB.zip.

If you want, in this world you can try to find familiar places. Here in-game coordinates of some sites:

the 
Port of Southampton ----------------------- X = 9000 Y = 100 Z = 26000
London ---------------------------------- X = 10632 Y = 100 Z = 24422
Mount Snowdon ---------------------------- X = 5218 Y = 200 Z = 20913
West island ------------------------ X = 2110, Y = 100, Z = 10000
Shetland Islands --------------------- X = 8900, Y = 100 Z = 4969
The Harbour Pool ----------------------------- X = 8020 Y = 100 Z = 26235
Weymouth ---------------------------------- X = 7300 Y = 100 Z = 26440
The island of Foulness in Essex ---------------- X = 12000 Y = 100 Z = 24174
Lake Windermere ------------------------- X = 6800 Y = 100 Z = 18080
The government mapping service - X = 8745 Y = 100 Z = 25695

The diagram below will help to determine the coordinates of each location.

ODBC Firebird, Postgresql, executing queries in Powershell

Изображение
Sometimes, system engineers may need to obtain specific data directly from the DBMS by means of Powershell. In this article I want to demonstrate two methods of operating firebird, postgresql through the odbc driver and client library. let's Start with the firebird and work with the database through the ODBC driver, you first need to register in the system client library GDS32.DLL, its bit width should be the same as the ODBC driver which should be installed next, download on the manufacturer's website , be sure during installation you need to tick on the registration of the library. Next install itself ODBC, who also take on the manufacturer's website , do not forget that the bit size should match the bit count of a previously installed client. Now actually have a powershell script, it was based on example in C# for postgresql. the $dbServerName = "localhost:base.gdb" $dbUser = "SYSDBA" $dbPass = "masterkey" [string]$s

The Ministry of communications wants to ban phones without GLONASS

Today in the Ministry of communications submitted the bill , according to which in Russia it will be possible to use only those mobile phones that include support for the GLONASS navigation system. Although it is not clear how this will be monitored, most likely, we are talking about banning the importation and sale. This decision was taken in order, and I quote in order to ensure the stability of the unified telecommunication network of the Russian Federation in various conditions. Requirements (in the case of the adoption of this act) will apply to manufacturers and sellers. To monitor the implementation of law be entrusted to Roskomnadzor. How has this come? For me personally this news is not very surprising (and not only because this is another project state silly the Duma), not so long ago there was another similar initiative, the essence of which was to translate public transport to use the system "To the end of the year practically the whole of Moscow is covered
