You simply cannot throw a basic string search at a relational database and expect good results.

True, would something like Elasticsearch work better? What is Overpass?

Why's he saying that? Because he believes in a better world rather than acting out of self interest. Plenty of high net worth and high income individuals advocate for higher taxation. I know I'd rather live in a world where the hungry are fed and the people are housed, rather than have an extra 10% of my income each year.

It's not like he's "give a Nazi salute to millions of viewers and nothing of consequence happens" rich.

No, much like staging a coup of the U.S. government and threatening the sovereignty of free nations, it's unethical, and the punishment should be proportional to the punishment for those offenses, according to severity.

  • Push directly to master, not main
  • No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
  • No env vars either
  • Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
  • All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
  • No hashes – it's the gateway drug to fentanyl
  • No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
  • Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won't occur, so no need to check for them
  • SOAP/XML APIs only
  • No support for external machines. If it's good enough for my machine, it's good enough for yours.

Do Americans not have any "protest" votes, either third party candidates, or "declining" your ballot? To me, that shows that you are politically engaged and willing to take a few minutes out of your day to do your civic duty, rather than being apathetic and/or lazy.

That's a weird flex by South Canada.

The change reflects Google's policy of adhering to official government names for geographical locations.

OK, so why am I seeing Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) from Canada?
