I'm interested in this too. IMO there's actually a huge benefit to being able to concisely represent 3D / 4D data (i.e. xarrays, slices, datasets) in an easily digestible text format. Mainly thinking about this approach over

And what if `fetchUser` hits an error? At the very least pop your de-maybeifier after the async call. Or use something language standardised (like a promise in JS where you can just throw). I'm all for a perfy shortcut / early ret

Sure! Thank you. There's a few good definitions out there, some more absolute than others, but none of which quite capture the generally subjective nature of it. Personally tend to align more towards the "corrupted utopia", e

Great context + points. Thanks! Definitely not in a position to question the status quo, let alone the OSM community consensus. Other than to say that - even if the focus is currently on internal software / editors alone - it still fee

Appreciate you weighing in directly Brandon! To be clear though, I didn't mean to say that protomaps was potentially a better solution (of course an uncompressed DB makes much more sense), simply that the developing nature of the proto

Not an expert, however (lol) - even if the recommendations here are solid - this doesn't feel like a particularly well-reasoned comparison. IMHO maintaining a large number of files on disk (be it 16m or 1.5b) should be a non-starter (n

What a nostalgia hit! Funny because I only recently found my old collection of Australian Hyper magazines from the early-to-mid 90s ... Looking at the covers makes me feel like I'm 10 again, hiding out in the local newsagent. What an

I mocked up an "infinite" circular menu concept last year. Idea was to use for navigating a non-linear timeline of photos / dates (in limited space on a website / map). Felt like a good use case. Still think the use case

Awesome dream. I've pitched / currently attempting to pull it off for an Australian news org (scoped to their stories). But a radio.garden x gdelt is where it's at!

If you right click on desktop and choose your browser's version of "show controls" it gives a nice sense of the loop points ... some of them are insanely short!

What a mind bend. I picked it up as a foreigner in Glasgow when I found out I was living downstairs from one of AG's friends and also muse / basis for a character in the book. Found myself regularly lost, re-reading large sections

Seriously amazing piece of tech here - satellite sourced emissions data covering the globe and the majority of industry. As someone who stares at this kind of thing most days, this latest release represents the gold standard for the sustain

Funnily enough just finished monkey wrench last week. Dark and hard going at times, but enjoyable. As someone who has never lived in Melbourne but spent formative years in Brisbane, Glasgow and Dublin, I would say it's fairly relatable

My sentiments and experience completely. Could mostly put up with the DX with the right mix of modules in place, but never got over the UI. Next. Level. Terrible.

Can only access the NYT piece in reader mode, but the Centre for Climate Reporting broke the story a couple of days ago (alongside the BBC). They have the documents embedded in the story. “breathtakingly hypocritical” being the choice quote

Fair point. But this isn't a get out of jail free payment, you're not "offsetting" your cup, just getting charged for it. The social stigma of walking around with a single use coffee cup remains, and may even be amplifie

If we're talking emissions and coffee then another important aspect is the source / growing practices / distance travelled of the beans. Better labelling around these kind of aspects would better balance the current cafe deci

A lot of Australian coffee shops give a discount for bringing your own (takeaway) cup. Personally I think they should just charge/tax for single use cups, to the benefit of those sitting in or bringing their own. Single use plastics, b

I was going to comment, but you've done it for me. Your additional advice is spot on. But I actually think, "do whatever you like, the web is designed to be flexible". The most crucial (half made) point here is that if you wa
