Saying "we need a better system" without understanding why we have the current system we do is not helpful.
I work with hosting services and resource constraints every day at work.
Someone like Google can give you instantaneous updates because they have billions of dollars and can host data farms across the globe for billions of users to access whenever they feel like it.
OpenStreetMaps likely doesn't have this kind of funding and gets by on what they have. They are running fine now on the small amount of users they have, but if the usage suddenly 10x'd or 100x'd overnight from a popular app like Organic Maps switching to realtime downloads straight from the tap, the servers would ignite (not literally, I hope).
What I would like you to do is draft up a proposal for how to overcome the financial and technical hurdles needed to allow a much larger userbase to constantly hit the OSM service. This would be a much better use of your time. Once you're done, submit it to the Organic Maps and OpenStreetMaps staff to try to get it moving forward, or at least talked about.
I dont mean that we are the same as in each human is exactly like one another.
I mean we are the same as in there is no "we", "we" is an illusion. There is only one of us, experiencing existence through the lens of each living creature simultaneously. "We" are the universe itself. The humans, the animals, all of the matter and energy are just perturbations in our collective fabric. The current body in which you are experiencing life is just one of many appendiges.
You are yourself and you are your parents. You are the primordial cavemen. You are hitler, and you are ghandi.
All of these experiences of each life feed back into the greater consciousness.
We are all the same entity, just different instances, existing inside of the greater consciousness that is the universe. We have performed every great and evil act to ourselves, as we are all the same entity.
I think that the reason for all the weirdness in wayland is because they are considering more usecases than just desktop with taskbar and window title bars with _[ ]X buttons. Think signage, mobile interfaces, kiosks, and other weird non-traditional interfaces. Its why absolute window positioning is dumb the way it is too.
"1" is a string. You declared its type by using quotes. myString = "1" in a dynamically typed language is identical to writing string myString = "1" in a statically typed language. You declare it in the symbols used to write it instead of having to manually write out string every single time.
2 is an integer. You know this because you used neither quotes nor a decimal place surrounding it. This is also explicit.
"1" + 2, if your interpreter is working correctly, should do the following
identify the operands from left to right, including their types.
note that the very first operand in the list is a string type as you explicitly declared it as such by putting it in quotes.
cast the following operands to string if they are not already.
use the string addition method to add operands together (in this case, this means concatenation).
In the example you provided, "1" + 2 is equivalent to "1" + "2", but you're making the interpreter do more work.
QED: "1" + 2 should, in fact, === "12", and your lack of ability to handle a language where you declare types by symbols rather than spending extra effort writing the type out as a full english word is your own shortcoming. Learn to declare and handle types in dynamic languages better, don't blame your own misgivings on the language.
Whats sad is that people keep wanting more client-side anticheat to fix this, when the real answer is server-side anticheat and changing the engine to stop being so leaky with that much information.
People were snipping out pieces of newspaper and sending them to eachother in the post as jokes, as soon as newspapers became a thing. People used to have silly paintings commissioned to send to eachother too.
It's amazing watching the language of people who don't even realize they have an addiction.
