We saw this happening for our SAAS stack we used, why pay for a massive SAAS tool with a huge surface area when we only used the desk+room booking and payment. Before building something like this was such a huge cost now it's becoming

Speaking from experience, it's more often bored cartographers trying to inject some fun into mundane activities. I used to try and write my initials. Quite often it devolves into a game of seeing what you can get past the reviewers

Love this, the pure CSS option is really elegant Another option would be self hosting vector tiles(or finding the most generous free tier vector tiles) and using a custom grey scale styling that you could tweak to your needs. Maputnik is a

I made my son a floor bed, it's really true that when you work with code all day having something tangible that you can touch helps. It took twice as long as I thought. It cost double what it would have cost to buy one of Etsy but it&#

The two are mostly unrelated, IHO members are supporting seabed 2030 but the new data formats coming at the same time is more of a coincidence than anything else Although S-101 is the updated ENC standard for S-100 the new S-102 standard wi

I would look at areas of technology that can help with the societal shift towards having greater numbers of elderly people living longer and wanting to maintain a higher standard of living. Most western societies have an age curve moving to

Where I grew up eel fishing was still a very lucrative activity. The best locations were a closely guarded secret, apparently placing the mesh cages was a real skill and something passed down between generations, always kept in the family.

My guess is Mapbox would worry more about competitors in the routing and Addressing space than The biggest danger with Open tiles is a basemap is the gateway to other data services with higher costs and an easier path to a defendable techni

Glad it worked! It should only do it once per table but if you are dropping and creating tables often it will be making the DB have a heavy workload I think theirs an assumption within the geo community of read heavy workloads but I could b

Make sure you have estimated table metadata turned on, otherwise QGIS will run a bunch of queries to understand your tables I believe. We typically use QGIS as a viewing engine only, if you let postgis do the heavy lifting it's a beaut

I feel like it will always get traction as it preys on the underlying fear of job security of Devs I have genuinely found it incredible in certain situations. I don't feel like I am getting as much value from it as others might be so f

Traditional paper maps or charts are not booming at all. The biggest producer of physical nautical charts has had to withdraw from the market as they have become unprofitable. The increased availability of good open geospatial data along wi

I think readers would be surprised to find out how poorly some regions of the Caribbean or Africa are charted. It's common for source data to be from the 1950s, for some ports I have seen tidal harmonics that were first recorded on rol

William has a very young family, pushing him into becoming the monarch would be incredibly detrimental to their lives as a family. The queen was very against abdication in any form
