Pinellas County - Long run: 13.30 miles, 00:11:19 average pace, 02:30:24 duration
pace was actually at about 10:00 per mile but paused waiting for my sister to run the second half. conversational the entire way and kept pretty easy.

@movq Yes but as you point out that data exists somewhere or map services such as Google Maps wouldn't be able to auto-complete your address and associate it with a GPS coordinate 😁

Could be an interesting project to build a custom GPS receiver based on an Arduino. No privacy concerns there.

@prologic I guess german people hate collecting data, especially “personal” data, and “surveillance” in general. My immediate response was: “Hell no, I don’t want someone to know my geo location from my address!” Then I realized that anyone can type my address into Google Maps or their car’s navigation system. 🤣
It’s probably similar to Google Streetview. There was a massive outcry when Google announced Streetview back in the day. Nobody wanted to have photos taken of their homes and there were all kinds of concerns (“burglaries everywhere!”). Even today, there are large gaps in Germany compared to the rest of Europe:

@prologic Wow, I didn’t know that existed. 😳 Unsurprisingly, there’s hardly any data available for Germany. 😅

@eapl.me I think we're at a point right now where everyone is seeing every problem as solvable by an LLM. i.e: LLM(s) are the new Hammer right now and everything is a Nail.

@movq @lyse Nice! Always nice to do a walk, and fun to test stuff like GPS and such :) I've been walking a bit as well today, but also had some nice time at home, I work a bit this weekend, so I've spent some time on that. But also we went to the mall and such. Now we're baking pizza. And will watch a movie or something when the kids has gone to sleep tonight. :)
@stigatle Pretty good. 👌 I had an unresistable urge to test that new GPS receiver, so I walked a little over 10 km. 🤣 (Slowly getting up to @lyse’s levels, eh? 😅) Now I’m gonna see what Netflix has to offer. 🎬

@prologic Mapping postal addresses to GPS coordinates? 🤔 Where would you get the data for that? Isn’t that a major undertaking? 🤔

And before anyone asks me why I need to build this, self hosting, privacy, etc. No I haven't found any good self-hosted solutions either i can just "borrow", so I'll have to build my own 🤣 Thinking of ingesting the data (addresses) into a Bleve database and using that to drive the "search"

@movq Speaking of GPS stuf... I need to build (_hopefully open sourcing it_) a "Geocoder", is that what we call it? A way to auto-complete an address to a GPS coordinate.

Have a bit of a conundrum I need your thoughts on... I have stuck up early conversations with the developer of a nice little Document database in Go called clover. He has kindly offered to collaborate with me on a v2 rewrite (_or improvements_) to my Bitcask. He very rightfully points out that the project (Bitcask) would benefit greatly from the community (Github in this case) and potential growth from the exposure there. I retorted with Microsoft's recent blatant theft of millions of open source projects to train their CoPilot models without so much as attributing the works they used to drive what is now a sellable product.
What do I do? We're at a bit of a "sticking point" here and I'm not really willing to compromise. Microsoft are basically cheating, stealing assholes and should be sued and the execs who decided it was a good idea to steal content to build their product, thrown in. jail.
