What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
  • "Many hands make light work"

    As a young child I interpreted this as acknowledging all of the people involved in:

    • Mining and transporting coal
    • Running the powerplant
    • Installing and maintaining the powerlines
    • Wiring the house
    • Manufacturing the lightswitch, light socket, light bulb, etc

    All so I can flick a switch and turn on a light in my house. It really shows that all the small things we take for granted rely on a well functioning society.

    Then when I was around 10 or so someone used it in a context where it's usual interpretation was the only one that made sense.

  • Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?
  • I used OSM tiles when creating webmaps sometimes and they can be great.

    That said it's coverage is inconsistent. This area around a highschool has really high detail footprints for the houses so I think it might have been part of their IT class at some point.

  • For the fourth day in a row, Earth has broken or equalled its hottest average temperature record
  • Meh.

    It's doubling each step.

    If course it's at 1/(2^n) of the final volume at n steps before the final step.

    • At half of its final volume one step before the end
    • a quarter of its final volume two steps before the end
    • an eighth of its final volume three steps before the end
    • a sixteenth of it's final volume four steps before the end
