I'm calling this a preview but it's a pretty solid version of MEGAMAP 1.2, using the 1.1 rev 4 dataset, which is the latest.

Anybody wants to look at it, it's on my maps Github, click on PREVIEW MEGAMAP:

oh hello

I seem to have attracted the attention of someone claiming to be involved with the Recall team on the ex/long-term MSFT group

he agrees my many critiques are valid and asked for mitigations other than "don't."

i gave him a short list to start:

• a trivial way to exempt your entire current session leaving no trace you did that, telling users how to do it literally every time - the entire session must vanish

• either per-app opt-in or windows-defender-like maintained lists of apps not to record without direct user intervention, e.g. Signal

• not one byte EVER hits storage without strong encryption, NOT EVER, and I gave him an easy and long-extant Microsoft technology way to do that

let's see if he's telling the truth

#recall

I am fucking going on people in the big exMSFT/long-term MSFT group (hosted elsewhere)

people are defending recall and I am shredding them like a wolverine on bonus rations of the finest of amphetamines

i got to use the phrase "'It'll only kill 5% of the users' is NOT A DEFENCE FOR KILLING 5% OF THE USERS" and not even ironically

Okay so with no show stoppers appearing, I've dropped Greater Northshore BIke Map 1.2 - Late May 2024, which shows bike infrastructure and adds preferred non-infrastructure routes between the Seattle and the new Eastside 2 Line Bike Connector maps.

You can find it here:

https://github.com/solarbirdy/NorthshoreBikeMap

It covers Shoreline, Lake Forest Park, Kenmore, Bothell, Woodinville, Juanita, parts of north Redmond that the 2 Line leaves out, and a decent chunk of unincorporated NE King County.

Next up will be a revision of the MEGAMAP, a map that pastes together the Greater Northshore map and the two others into one big poster-sized beast.

RELEASE CANDIDATE TIME

Revision 1.1, Dataset 1.1 rev 4, Greater Northshore Bike Connector Map.

This version adds heatmap-sourced non-bike-infrastructure routes that people use anyway as a new class, in Seattle-style green. Think of them as demand paths.

I think they're worth adding because they tell people: yes, people use these fragments of infrastructure; this is how they connect together. This is where people actually go.

Also more dirt trails, a little more road-level infrastructure - minor stuff - and an improved legend.

The attached is at reduced resolution because that's what Mastodon does. But it's okay.

Feedback desired.

i hate the way nhk world dumps an entire weekend of #sumo all at once on youtube

i mean i'm glad they do it at all but it's like "whelp guess I'm not getting caught up" because getting caught up would absolutely be too many sumo

so i'm just all the way back on day six and that's all there is for it

anyway the oshoma / takarafuji match was fun, i liked that

one note on the map that I did think about: the lowest-grade red and green lines are distinguishable in black and white. the red lines use dashes, the green are dots with narrower spacing between.

the legend in this version didn’t make that super clear but I’ve revised the source to fix that.

NPR today:

"Like to bike? Your knees will thank you and you may live longer, too

New research shows lifelong bikers have healthier knees, less pain and a longer lifespan, compared to people who've never biked. This adds to the evidence that cycling promotes healthy aging."

Has anyone here used the Avondale Road barely-marked "bike lanes" from around the Power Line Trail up to NE 132nd? Because on Google Maps they lack things like "this is a bike lane" markers except at the very, very end. Right now I've marked them as dual sharerows because of how bad they look to me. But are they secretly okay in person?

Okay! New map! The attachment is the first representation of dataset 1.1, using a lot of dotted green lines (as per the Seattle map legend) to show non-bike-signed routes commonly used by people biking.

(It's not full resolution because Mastodon shrinks it.)

It also includes a couple of actual bike-supporting routes I missed in dataset 1.0, and a lot more dirt/loose gravel trails, particularly in unincorporated King County and on the northern Eastside. But there's bits of adds everywhere.

The dotted green is experimental. Feedback is definitely requested.

Full resolution is at Github, select the map labelled "EXPERIMENTAL":
