Why do you consider Postgres + PostGIS out of fashion? What are people using for spatial data these days?

Not that I was expecting a global dataset, but title should be “USA Fall Foliage Map 2025“.

Incidentally, it’s also a demonstration that you shouldn’t use high contrast in typography. When you start the test you can clearly see the lines of text retained on your retina.

I don’t understand why you need the animation. If you point at the green background after staring the red one for a while, you can see a whole circle of the saturated color.

Some people are so dumb they don't know how dumb they are. Thank you for making me realize I'm one of those.

I had the same interpretation and in fact there's some truth in it. I recently did procreate and realized how primitive AI is compared to human beings and how long it might take for it to catch up.

What I find infuriating is to see colors stripped from children’s toys and clothes, especially by Northern Europe brands. Those dull beige taupe tones might attract parents but I’m sure that they bring little joy and stimulation to children

Serious question: how do you understand ABBA? Because I consider music listening a journey and songs that I dislike now might be my favorite ones in the future. But I really don’t know how it could lead me to like ABBA.

Use to do SOFA without knowing about it. Then marriage came, then children and boom, collapse of the wave function.

80 years are not so far in time for me as I recently realized that when I was born I was closer to the end of the war than my current age. That made me feel somehow more connected to that past event than to the present.

I faced a similar problem as my wife had a chorionangioma, a placenta tumor. Or it was my son, it’s even hard to tell who had it as placenta is external to both. In the hospital where we were, they were doing their best to keep the baby ali

I’m not a child psychologist but I observed how my daughter became almost instinctively scared of the wolf. I think that less sanitized fairy tales can be a bridge between children’s imagination and the real world. Modern versions of fairy

Looking at the constellation of satellites, is anyone else concerned about Starlink being allowed by a single nation’s agency to fill the sky, which belongs to no one or to everyone, with their satellites?

Agree, the thing I hate most is people saying that it's "not user friendly", not realizing that it might be a subjective thing, and it's a very generic way of putting it, and how hard it is to satisfy hundreds of idiotic

Not the op but I don't think it blends better than others. What I really don't like is the little split in the removable blade where food sticks into and you can only remove using a dental floss or a folded piece of paper. Knowing
