Either yesterday or this morning. Who can remember that far back these days?

One of these is a real textbook and the other is a gag gift that came hollowed out with a flask of whisky in it.

Thanks for this, it's really great!

One apparent typo: the "key findings" in section 9.2 appear to have gone missing.

It feels like 2000 was a dividing line. Maybe a lot of people were disappointed about the lack of hoverboards and flying cars and started looking back?

As someone who came of age in the 80s, I don't recall much nostalgia for the 70s (bellbottoms, disco!) or the 60s (war, weird!)

Fans of koalas, poisonous snakes, the Divynils or other Antipodean stereotypes will be pleased to hear I'm working on a projection that is similar, but doesn't disintegrate Australia.

@paulwoods.io I put together some code at github.com/GlobalFishin... that should be fairly self contained.

You always have to sacrifice something when you make a world map. In this case, it's Australia.

It got ripped in half and smeared along the edge. You can see that better in this map where they show the land: kunimune.blog/wp-content/u...

It turns out that the Spilhaus projection exaggerates the size of the Chinese coastline quite a bit. There is a similar projectioin, called Elastic-2, which is better in this regard. See: bsky.app/profile/tim....
Same data, but now plotted in the Elastic-2 projection described at kunimune.blog/2023/12/29/i.... This reportedly has less area inflation around the East China Sea, and we do see that the vessel traffic in Asia appears less dramatic.

Are you good at cursing? The borrow checker requires a constant stream of profanity to make it work.
