I switched to in-person teaching a couple years ago and am glad I did. It’s been a challenging time as an instructor finding ways to make sure I’m added value.

Not that; I just write free books on how to write software.

Supporting on GitHub. Just a few bucks a month. It won’t take many of us to get to $175/mo.

I do pony up for other services (not YT Premium because I won’t give Google any money) and support a significant number of creators via Patreon, giving them more money by far than they’d ever see from me from ads. And I’ve spent thousands of hours on my own dime making written content and giving it away for nothing with no ads or tracking. So yes, I agree.

We need a competitor badly.

It should never be illegal to link to a thing. To host illegal content, sure, that should be illegal. But making it illegal to say where some thing, legal or not, is located is asking for all kinds of trouble.

If my ISP starts throttling my traffic, I’ll just switch to one of the zero other providers in my area.

“Every dependency is an asset. Every dependency is a liability.”

I learn more about a candidate in 5 minutes of talking to them about their existing code than I would looking at their solution to a take home problem.

It’s a crap interview technique, these assignments. IMHO.

I don’t know how it renders, but the idea was you could mark the address at the beginning of the block and the address at the end of the block, and then address finders would try to guess the intermediate addresses if anybody asked for them.

I think they’ve fallen out of favor and now people just add addresses to every building. Maybe.

That looks good!

The rectangle is the bounding box for all the edits in that changeset. What I’m guessing happens here is that wheelmap.org bundles a bunch of random edits from global users into a single changeset and then submits it. Since its users are from random places around the globe, it’s likely the bounding boxes are going to be large.

But just because the bounding box is physically large doesn’t mean the edits are large. For example, a single edit near Los Angeles coupled with a single edit near Copenhagen would produce the bounding box in your screenshot.

Just run it through OCR. Super efficient! 😅
