Another great article from this blog! 2017's article from the same author [1] about Goggle Maps' use of photogrammetry and other building scanning techiques was, in my opinion, one of the most interesting HN submissions ever (its comment section[2] is also worth a read).

I think you mean this blog? https://www.justinobeirne.com/ , it's been shared a number of times https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=justinobeirne.com here with this one being the most popular https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15965653 , though that's six years old. Still well worth reading |

His earlier Apple Maps article ended up getting 1250 points on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18358902 And an earlier one than that got 1960: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15965653 So clearly some people like this style of article (myself included). |
Another great article from this blog!
Last year's article from the same author [1] about Goggle Maps' use of photogrammetry and other building scanning techiques was, in my opinion, one of the most interesting HN submissions ever (its comment section[2] is also worth a read).
