yeah, in exchange for learning a weird JSON-ish language (lol) with a bunch of fucked up design patterns that use lazily evaluated mutual recursion (lol) you get a system that allows you to patch GCC for as much or as little of your package set as needed.

rip to the like 5 other guys who will immediately respond to you also recommending OSM.

yeah i guess the downside is if whoever did the mapping demarcated the place as a point rather than an area then that’s equally valid but significantly less useful lol

ah, perhaps the OSM term here that makes sense for what you want is a “place” wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:place

not, as you please, but Palantir’s brand of consulting is fairly well-characterized as being functionally equivalent to McKinsey, Accenture, et al.

can’t tell if this is bait or not, but i’ll probably regret jumping in the thread either way.
