Как я собрал интерактивную карту 13 000 исторических событий и научил её определять архетип любого города

HistoryPrint берёт любой город и говорит, какая часть человеческой истории случилась в его радиусе. ~13 000 событий за 5 000 лет, 12 категорий (войны, революции, пандемии, открытия), скоринг по экспоненциальному убыванию расстояния, и в финале — один из 20 архетипов: «Born in Fire», «Plague Walker», «Heir of Enlightenment».

Coordinate precision: Choosing the right #coordinate #precision matters (there’s an xkcd about it!): Too little distorts your data, too much bloats it unnecessarily. This interactive tool by #Mapbox makes this tradeoff visually understandable.

→ Announcing MapLibre Tile: a modern and efficient vector tile format
https://maplibre.org/news/2026-01-23-mlt-release/

“MapLibre Tile (MLT) is a succesor to Mapbox Vector Tile (MVT). It has been redesigned from the ground up to address the challenges of rapidly growing geospatial data volumes and complex next-generation geospatial source formats, as well as to leverage the capabilities of modern hardware and APIs.”

OSM and MapBox and DoorDash. I noticed today as I was waiting for lunch to arrive that the DoorDash map had edits on it that I had done via Open Street Maps. DoorDash credits MapBox as their map source. MapBox is rather opaque about where it gets its data from, hidden behind layers and layers of corporate marketing jargon and calls to action.

This week is going to be surreal. On Friday, I will log off of from #mapbox for the last time.

I will absolutely miss all of the people that I have grown to call friends and colleagues over the past 3 years.

Soon I will start my new role at #readai and I'm super excited!

The satellite view of the Reinebringen hike does not give a clear idea of how steep the 2,000 stone steps path built by Nepalese sherpas is.

Switching to 3D is really useful here.

https://activites.nicolas-hoizey.com/carte/#13.98/67.93585/13.07888/-16.8/73

I should mention that here, the map has the relief exaggerated by 30% to better see the volumes, but the relief of the Lofoten mountains is truly impressive in reality.

J'ai ajouté une carte globale à mon site d'activités pour visualiser la localisation de toutes les activités présentées sur le site.

Elle affiche par défaut toutes les activités, avec la carte positionnée pour toutes les voir d'un coup.

Elle est bien sûr navigable, y compris au clavier, et filtrable par type d'activité et période calendaire.

Pretty happy with the way this global map of my activities looks, with filters by activity type and date. 😍

If I add activities of multiple types in different places, it might look like a Splatoon ad in a few months… 🤣

I think it would be very easy for them to send a report, or open an API so I could monitor #mapbox usage and not be surprised with invoices.

I guess that would not help them. But somehow I belive that surprising users with invoices (even small values) cannot be a good thing.

Time to look at using #OSM

I have a very low traffic website that uses #mapbox as its basemap. I figured that the 200k monthly limit on the free tier would be more than enough. Then some bots found the site...

Twice now I've been surprised with a bill (thankfully very low ~U$1.50). I then asked mapbox if they had a way to cap usage or automate the usage report so I could get a heads up before hitting the limit. An API maybe?

Answer: NO. I have to manually check usage stats page regularly.

Картографический фотопроект «По местам съёмок фильма «Жмурки»

Проект начал делать в июле 2023 года, когда отснял часть фото. Второй раз поехал в Нижний Новгород в октябре 2023, чтобы доснять оставшиеся локации. Проект долго лежал недоделанным, а недавно увидел, что с момента съемок прошло 20 лет. Про технические аспекты рассказал тут, остановлюсь на локациях.

Weekly output: Feds okay T-Mobile-UScellular deal, Rivian adds Google Maps, GENIUS Act becomes law, Mark Vena podcast

July so far is feeling like a traditional August in terms of how under-scheduled it’s been: So far, this month has featured all of three work events to drag me away from my home office. I also left home Thursday to catch that evening’s Fort Reno concert.

7/14/2025: T-Mobile Secures Government Blessing of UScellular Purchase After Ritual Sacrifice of DEI Policies, PCMag

This was yet another case of a post starting with an idea for its headline materializing in my brain. Writing it took a bit longer because I needed to explain the gap between the Department of Justice’s ambivalent thumbs-up and the Federal Communications Commission’s more enthusiastic approval of this deal.

7/15/2025: Rivian Switches to Google Maps for Its EVs’ Navigation, PCMag

Rivian switching from a Mapbox-based navigation app to one built on Google Maps is a bigger deal than might be immediately apparent: That EV manufacturer does not support Apple’s CarPlay or Google’s Android Auto, so the car’s built-in software represents the only way to get driving directions on the biggest screen in the dashboard.

7/18/2025: Trump Signs the GENIUS Act, Creating a Regulatory Framework for Stablecoins, PCMag

I took a little time to look up some useful posts explaining what a stablecoin is and why people and businesses might find a cryptocurrency tied to the value of a real-world asset more useful than a more volatile digital currency. And to point out how President Trump stands to benefit from government regulation of stablecoins.

7/18/2025: Ep 113 SmartTechCheck Podcast — Nvidia and China, chaos at Xbox and Meta “AI superintelligence”, Mark Vena

I suggested we talk about Mark Zuckerberg’s AI ambitions, which remind me of the Facebook founder’s earlier fervor for the metaverse. A normal company might hold its CEO accountable for being so wrong about one tech trend before green-lighting hundreds of millions of dollars in hiring incentives to chase another tech trend–but Zuck’s control of a majority of shareholder votes ensures that Meta cannot be a normal company.

@snugug thanks!

I've been working on this map for a while, discovering #mapbox API along the way, often struggling with behaviors I couldn't understand.

I want to write about this and the rest of the site also, which is a pretty uncommon use of #Eleventy I think.

Not sure when I'll be able to take the time for this, but it will come.

In today's thrilling update from the land of #pointless #tech acronyms, we bring you a revolutionary tool: the #Mapbox #Geospatial #MCP #Server 🎉. Because what the world really needs is another server to needlessly navigate through GitHub's labyrinthine menus 🔄. Forget AI solving real problems—let's automate some #workflows instead! 🚀

Делаем ландшафт на основе реальных данных

Я долгое время занимаюсь построением 3D копий городов в проприетарном игровом движке на основе картографических данных. Суммарно это сложная задача, успех выполнения которой заключется в решении небольшого набора больших проблем. Одной из таких проблем является отрисовка точного ландшафта на основе реальных данных. Далее я постараюсь расказать обо всех R&D этапах и технических особенностях, с которыми пришлось столкнуться, а вконце будет несколько сравнений сгенерированного ландшафта с фотографиями реальных мест.

Картографический фотопроект «По местам съёмок фильма «Брат 2»

Проект начал делать в 2022 году, параллельно с проектом по первой части фильма. Во второй части многие локации пришлось искать вооружившись Яндекс и Гугл панорамами. Около полугода искал человека, который сделает фото в Чикаго. С технической точки зрения ничего не поменялось, про нее я рассказал в статье по первой части фильма . Хочу более детально остановиться на поиске и съемке локаций.
