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.

    What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
  • My favourite Anno was the one on Wii.

    It had streamlined mechanics and bright colourful graphics, it really felt like the Civilization Revolution of the series.

    What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?
  • The Thief and Tenchu series need more love.

    I used to consider Thief/Tenchu/Hitman to be the core stealth games but currently only Hitman is still being made :/

    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
