Quote from: hotdogPi on Today at 10:23:03 AMScott5114 mentioned 2010 as a turning point. I agree with this. There were significant technological advances up to 2010. After that, not so much. The only differences I see between my first computer, a 2010 MacBook Pro, and my current one (2023) are that my current one has 500 GB of memory instead of 128 GB, and Python runs twice as fast likely due to the switch from Intel to Apple silicon. That's it.

Quote from: pderocco on Today at 08:33:54 PMGoogle is so polluted with fictional route designations. Where do these fanciful ideas come from? Is there some group of road geeks working at Google that just imposes their fantasies on the map, perhaps hoping that somehow their dreams will come true?Where else? One that is led by an owl named Fritz.
