blog minus author

this is where i write about things that interest me. most of it is in some way related to programming and/or maps, but some of it isn't. the posts here are listed in reverse chronological order.

• you cost geoguessr $0, and you had no idea (2025-05-15): if you have adblocker on, you are essentially free for geoguessr. if you don't like their saudi involvement, turn it off.
• consistent zoom levels in deck.gl (2025-04-27): how i ensure that scrollwheel zooming behaves consistently across all devices in deck.gl - something the library isn't built to do.
• getting google maps to leak data (2024-08-18): how i got google maps to leak the exact dates for their panoramas - something they really don't want to share.
