Wait until he notices that the text on Google Maps (on the native mobile app for Android) is now an overlay, and that this extends to road names.
That this has been done to enable things like collision detection of pieces of text, and to enable the jump to 45' view to be smooth and still highly readable.
- i8pizza2night 16y agoIt's ironic: your HN profile says "My company is Buro 9 Limited and it's a vehicle for me to work with the things I love..." Yet you mock others for what they're clearly enthusiastic about.
- buro9 16y agoWelcome to HN. You're clearly new as this is your only comment and your account is less than 6 hours old. You also edited your comment from the earlier revision of "Do you not have something intelligent to add" (slight paraphrasing there). So... just a troll? Unnecessarily scathing for a first post, no? My comment above was certainly not meant disparagingly or to "pick on" the author. In fact I enjoy the posts made. Anyone who has worked on producing densely populated diagrams and charts dynamically will have an appreciation for this kind work and would also be keen to hear the subtleties of other peoples solutions to the problem.
- i8pizza2night 16y agoMy apologies. I thought I detected sarcasm/negativity in your earlier comment--but I guess I was wrong. (I, too, thought the post was excellent and was only trying to defend it.)
