Generate Static Map Images Using OpenStreetMap Tiles - tiny-static-map.js | CSS Script A lightweight JavaScript library to create static map images. Center on any location, customize zoom, and use OpenStreetMap tiles.

A lightweight JavaScript library (~1 kB) that creates a static map image centered on a specified latitude and longitude. It leverages OpenStreetMap (OSM) tiles to render an arbitrarily-sized map in any container, with custom zoom levels.

Seville, Spain eliminated 5,000 car parking spaces and built an 80 km protected cycling network in just 18 months with 32 million €.

Result: An average 70,000 bike trips a day.

How much messed up you have to be to wish a 18 year old athlete breaks his legs? Disgraceful.

You don't sign a player for 2 months, you would not want to sign player who would be deadwood once Saka is back from injury and then even more useless once we get our main target in Summer. If we are that desperate I rather we recall Nelson and Fabio from their loan.

Evolution of the Chengdu Metro 2010-2027 (geographic map) YouTube video by Metro Liner

Chengdu: an enormous Chinese city (21 million people) that most Americans have never heard of (I know it mostly because it was the wartime capital of Chiang Kai-Shek's regime). It had zero subway/train transit in 2010. Look at this expansion. America could never. Gasped when the ring line came in.

How Chinese AI Startup DeepSeek Made a Model that Rivals OpenAI When Chinese quant hedge fund founder Liang Wenfeng went into AI research, he took 10,000 Nvidia chips and assembled a team of young, ambitious talent. Two years later, DeepSeek exploded on the scene.

"I wouldn’t be able to find a commercial reason for founding DeepSeek even if you ask me to,” said founder Liang Wenfeng: www.wired.com/story/deepse...

Seems like an interesting and useful free resource for learning geospatial software development. I will try to follow the course.

Right-Wing Extremists Are Abuzz Over Musk's Straight-Arm Salute Right-wing extremists are abuzz over Elon Musk giving an awkward straight-armed salute during an inauguration rally for Donald Trump.

The Nazis think this was a Nazi salute, but, hey, what would they know?

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth.

Though πŸ”΅ is a fair approximation of what it would look like.

People underestimate the Pacific.

Wearing A Salmon On Your Head Is Back In Fashion For Orcas, After A 37-Year Break In 1987, there was a strange trend amongst killer whales. Recent sightings show it's back in fashion.

Orcas have started wearing dead salmon as hats again, just fyi

Trossard decision was even more silly imo. And the late disallowed goal against Liverpool. City and Liverpool both losing to us along with the win at Brighton game would put us one point behind Liverpool, 6 points ahead of Chelsea and 10 ahead of City. I guess that is the reason we can't let go 😑

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil far more than electric cars Electric vehicles get all the press – but it’s the smaller unsung two wheelers cutting oil demand the most.

The world’s 280 million electric bikes and mopeds are cutting demand for oil 4x more than electric cars due to their staggering uptake in China and elsewhere.

How Helsinki and Oslo cut pedestrian deaths to zero After years of committed action, neither city recorded a single pedestrian fatality in 2019

Meat firms react to Finland's "no cold cuts" recommendation The chief concern surrounding processed meats is research that found links between their consumption and the risk of colon cancer.

yle.fi/a/74-20123004 It's quite fascinating that the dietary recommendations are similar to food habits of many people in Nepal.

Throwback to the ABC trek. October/November is the best time to visit Nepal for trekking as the weather is awesome and it is also festival season.

Not sure if there is already an alternate way of doing this but 1 thing I am missing in blue sky is the ability to save some posts. There are some posts with awesome resources that I would like to save for later reference but not sure how I can do that.

Here’s a cool fact I came across today: the world’s population doubled between 1975 and 2020 (nothing new there). But at the same time, built-up areas almost tripled!

You can really see this infrastructure boom in action with this video of Las Vegas growing over the years, created with Landsat data
