OSM Imports' scripts

Sun, 15 Dec 2019 12:05:33 +0100

This is a proof of concept and a pet project for learning python while preparing data for importing it to OpenStreetMap. Although I will start small (importing trees from Barcelona city council), I aim to set the foundations for adding other types of imports that may (or may not) be added in the future, hopefully with other people’s contributions.

About Simplicity, Complexity and Deficiencies

Tue, 23 Apr 2013 09:18:30 +0100

There are two ways of constructing a software design: one way is to make it so simple that there are obviously no deficiencies; the other is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious deficiencies. – C. A. R. Hoare

When reading A byte of python by Swaroop C H, I found this quote being funny, well constructed and true. The funniest thing in my opinion is that it can also be applied to many other areas apart from computer science, being politics one of the most evident.
