On a side note - this would make a brilliant TV show. Gary Oldman for a day making life changing decisions then we come back one year later to see how it all went. A bit like Grand Designs.

Hey all - I made a thing with my clanker Kevin: Ototo (https://ototo.dev/) - yes this is clanker driven dev. The idea is to offload code exploration and other token'y heavy tasks to a smaller model to do the work and chuck the result back. This helps in a couple of ways (1) it saves tokens if you can offload to a cheaper or free local model (2) it can keep the main context clearer as it removes...
I've been quite keen on the new FFI too - apologies if this is old news, but have you tried the [0] jextract stuff for some of the boilerplate gubbins?

I now use archive.ph to read these types of article now. Medium as a platform is awful and the constant nag to signup just puts me off so much.

I've been a happy Kagi user for a few months now. As someone else has already mentioned, shopping etc is often better elsewhere, but for 95% of my search I use Kagi exclusively.
> your toughest career problems are less frequently technical but political, interpersonal, and organizational.
I feel this statement is spot on.
The Long Earth series is fantastic. I'm not a huge fan of Baxter's work but these books are among my fave scifi reads.
I love Guards but would also throw in Thief of Time which is a fabulous read
but mutations have been in there since the beginning IIRC
might be worth giving qgis a try. It can work with loads of formats and can be used to run an analysis ( as well as make maps)

I've tried very recently with Openlayers and their OL-Mapbox style package[0] - it wasn't too bad TBH, but not great.
Maplibre is still very nascent and needs a lot of work until it is ready to be used in anger. I do wonder if it would be better to put effort into Openlayers rather than trying to maintain this library - as others have pointed out, OL provides so much more.

Have been investigating matrix/element.io over the last few months so will probably move to that
“... abusing over a dozen technologies...” is this a proof-of-concept or a real thing
? It just seems too horrendous to be real.
I think your comment really hits the nail on the head, IMHO the frustration shouldn’t be directed toward Apple but more toward the groups who have pushed the tracking practice so far to necessitate such draconian measures.
A ThreeJS clone on go to learn more OpenGL and Vulkan and Go, plus and Ordnance Survey map viewer with MapboxGL JS, also teaching the kids some more python ...
Would this not be possible though by sharing your lon/lat though? Plus easier to navigate to using gmaps or the like.
On the flip side, I have read stories of w3w success in giving an address to people where a normal street address is not possible, e.g. favelas https://www.reuters.com/article/us-innovation-what-3-words/w...
I'm not a RUST chap, but came across this the other day:

I've done most of my web service work in either Java or Go, but I'd like to give Rust a try for comparison at some point.
