Part of my pattern now is forcing lint before push and also requiring code coverage % to stay above a certain threshold and all tests to pass. Sometimes this goes awry but honestly I have same problem with dev teams. This same thing should be done with dev teams. And I’ve had devs fix lint errors these bad ways same as llm as well as “fix” tests in and ways. Llm actually listens to my rules a bit better tha human devs — and the pre commit checks and pre merge checks enforce it.
Cursor--run in cloud seems to work just fine for this. I setup my project and then github to publish web or mobile app.... i believe claude can also take instructions from github...or am i missing something.
NUMA scientist Dirk Pitt is quoted as saying, “I wasn’t sure what to do next, it seemed like all hope was lost. then this old man showed up, he seemed real familiar to me but I couldn’t pinpoint why. He helped me find the ships that I then used to escape from some unreasonable situation.”
For those who haven't read the books, the reference to the old man is that the author inserts himself in the books. It's always an old man showing up in the most unlikely place rendering aid to his main character. Sometimes he's a prospector or a treasure hunter or doing retiree things like traveling around in an RV. And then when he's gone, no one can remember his name.
Some are, largely the older ones. The newest books have lost something to me, and the related series feel like they're ghostwritten (they are ghostwritten -- but importantly, they feel like it.)
* The very old ones, Pacific Vortex, Mediterranean Caper, and Iceberg, are definitely dated. They also include some distasteful treatment of women and transexuals. The harsh (physically) behaviour to women seems to be Cussler's attempt to channel a Bond-like feeling. I don't like it at all.
* Dragon (if it's the one I remember) has an unpleasant rather racist feel. Like Crichton's Rising Sun, it's anti-Japanese.
* Raise the Titanic is what made him famous. Worth reading.
* The books Treasure, Sahara, Inca Gold are his absolute best. Big, thick, crazy adventure novels.
* Shock Wave I didn't like when I read it: something about the tone. I heard he had a personal tragedy before he wrote it, and maybe that affected the book.
* The books after feel increasingly ghostwritten, or at least churned out.
I enjoyed them as a teenager, and I was too young so some of the sexist or racist elements in the older ones passed me by. I read the Bond books at a similar age, and didn't understand everything I read. As an adult, re-reading, I disliked those elements strongly.
Yet, some of the stories are fantastic thrillers.
So: I'd recommend you avoid the ones that are distasteful, and the newer ones. But Titanic and those three others are worth reading. 'Big, thick, crazy adventure novels'. When you read them, you'll see why they keep periodically trying to make movies of his books.
OSM if you mean open street map is just display. Osrm-- open street routing might work if you need routing. But postgis has routing modules and you could call Google for the routes and store.
Postgis probably easiest/best overall. You don't need to do routing or TSM? In a native form for one use spatialite works.
The routing piece is the hardest. But if you don't have to do that then you just need something that stores groupings. For that matter if the points are a finite list that gets loaded as new then you don't even really need to store it as spatial data. Just list of drivers, destinations, times and you should be able to determine who gets where fastest.
Aren't you risking tax evasion in the countries you are staying in? If you are "earning" money and living in Thailand for instance...but not paying taxes....doesn't the Thai government have a vested interest in you--if they discover you? And might that not be a rough time in some countries?
Technically, they would be evading taxes in both the U.S. and Thailand. You have to be tax resident in another country to take the FEI deduction, and countries without taxes don't count.
But you can always try to get away with it. I like to sleep at night however (and of course, china takes my taxes straight out of my paycheck). I'm not sure if a thai prison would scare me more than an IRS audit :)
