We now have wildfire layers for maps… sigh.
Happy to see it, angry that we need it.

Ride with GPS: New Wildfires Layer – See Fire, Smoke, and Wind Before You Ride
Fire season doesn't have to mean guessing. Available across web, iOS, and Android, RWGPS' new Wildfires Layer shows you exactly where fires are burning, so you can avoid wildfire smoke while cycling and adjust your plans before you take off on a ride or extended tour... New Wildfires Layer The Wildfires Layer shows active fire perimeters across the US and Canada, refreshed every hour. That means you're never looking at stale data when you're deciding whether a route is worth riding. On the map,…

If you thought you would be missing the Tour de France in the UK this year. Highlights will be on Channel 5, but all stages of the race will be shown live on S4C at 2pm every day, with a highlights programme every night. Follow all the action on S4C, S4C Clic, BBC iPlayer and S4C’s YouTube. #TourDeFrance #LeTour

Just wrote a fun little algorithm for iterating through all grid positions within X euclidean distance from a center, roughly in order of distance but also mostly ensuring each position yielded is at least diagonally adjacent to the previous. It's a fun problem to think about with lots of design tradeoffs and many valid solutions.
My solution requires that the origin be on the grid (I think?) and uses a bunch of caching instead of a bajillion distance checks, although I don't actually know what the memory/speed tradeoff is like or whether there are any gains at all (could be net losses, which I'm starting to wonder about more as I write this post). Thankfully I don't expect performance to be very critical here anyways, and doing the caching actually helped separate some logic in a useful way.
A fun little diversion from bigger stuff in the project and a reminder of some of the joys of programming design at a small scope. Feels kinda like mastering the local town's minigame while you're stuck on the main quest in an RPG.
