Terrible #GIS idea:
Tile server that serves tiles based on the port you access.

example.com:3857/{z}/{x}/{y}.webp gives you web mercator tiles

example.com:4326/{z}/{x}/{y}.webp gives you wgs84 tiles

example.com:900913/{z}/{x}/{y}.webp gives you an error because ports don't go that high.

✅Consistent service URLs for different projections
✅Really learn your reverse proxy config settings
✅Complicates firewall rules
❌No more dumb projections over 65535

Hold up. All this time they’ve said they killed Nasrullah because he wanted MORE war. Now they’re admitting they killed him because he wanted to STOP war. And Netanyahu killed at least 1000 civilians in the process.

This is utterly depraved. 61% of Americans and 77% of Democrats demand a stoppage of arms to Netanyahu. Stop arming him!

A few times I have told the anecdote that the singly most baffling thing I ever saw in a code review — not the most insecure, just the most “how could a real programmer have written this? how could this ever make sense?” thing — was simply a C++ variable “number_of_trucks” … declared as float. Unambiguously referring to real physical trucks in a fleet.

Reader, it’s been over ten years and I am blowing the gods damn whistle. I had edited that story to protect the guilty: the variable was named number_of_planes. It was shipped by a company whose name begins with “B” and rhymes with “GOING out of business.”

An excellent quote from a source I've long forgotten that I somehow just dug out of my archives:
