I've had to learn about some of the weirdness working with 2d maps lately. The world is round, it turns out. I wrote a bit about how you calculate things which cross the anti-meridian line. Probably everyone who's ever worked with maps knows this, but I didn't. jeromegill.com/blog/antimer...

Crossing The Antimeridian with PostGIS
Normally when you want to do geospatial queries, you define a bounding box and ask your database to return geometries that have some relationship to the box.

I hate to say it but after a month of coding with Mistral, switching back to Claude feels like a dramatic improvement. I tried mistral for the sake of giving "European" tech a chance, but it just isn't good enough. Claude became "good enough" some time last year. I hope Mistral catches up.

Social media doesn't randomly stop being harmful at 16, and bans won't prevent under 16s from accessing it. Meaningful change means banning harmful practices that affect everyone such as infinite scroll and "for you" feeds. Feeds should be only accounts you follow by default.

It's worth remembering that on October 6th, 2023, Netanyahu was facing mass protests over his anti-democratic judicial reforms en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Is... 3 years later, he's still in power. "victory" over Hamas, or Hezbollah would mean a return to the normal that would likely see him deposed
