Longitude and our neurons of navigation Posted by wormold on Saturday June 01, 2024 @03:22PM from the forkingpaths.co dept. https://www.forkingpaths.co/p/the-thrilling-tale-of-longitude-and ( 5 comments | 3 points | on HN )
Having done a lot of navigation/sailing in my youth, my brain automatically was computing east/west based on the sun being in the south.
I generally have no idea which way is east or west unless the sun is quite low in the sky, or I already know the area and just know the layout.
But this type of “throw a bunch of random keywords related to the blog/video content and go brrrrr on MidJounrey” is just trash.
