And now I shall spend the day listening to Adam Schlesinger's considerable oeuvre. In addition to his career with Fountains of Wayne, he wrote for the Click Five and the Monkees, for Stephen Colbert and Sesame Street, for the Tony Awards and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, to say nothing of penning the title track for _That Thing You Do!_
Adam's death in April 2020 will always be the public figure Covid death that hits me hardest

I ran out of characters! I could have done another five paragraphs on his awesomeness. I hate thinking about how many songs we were cheated out of when he died. He was also reputed to be the nicest guy in the industry
His "I was just fucking around and it needs a ton of work" demo tape for _What'll It Be_ ended up being recorded and sung nearly note for note in CE-G. He was so so good.

I have build a new and improve #search functionality for @MapComplete. Still a work in progress, but a first testable version is onli e here: pietervdvn.github.io/mc/featur…
It supports switching themes, showing search results on the map and suggestions.
Still to do: highlighting the result on hover and making sure that a search result and layer info don't both show.
Please, test it, break it and let me know what went wrong, what was confusing and what you'd still love to see.
The goal of this map is to present cyclists with an easy-to-use solution to find the appropriate infrastructure for their needspietervdvn.github.io

@joost_schouppe Yeah, that one is also on the roadmap for this feature ;)
Also: a filter that shows e.g. 'all shops with name'...
I really love this description of a retracted study: not only does it explain what was retracted (turns out men don't generally divorce their sick wives), but also it covers what the error was (a coding problem treated people who left the study as divorced) how it all went down (someone tried to replicate, asked for data and didn't get the same analysis. Contacted the authors and they were horrified and immediately worked to retract).
It's a really nice story of why replication matters and how to be good at science. This is how I was taught science should work, but I rarely come across such good retrospectives.
