latitude and longitude logic, the hardest part of programming is naming, spoiler for a chatgpt plugin im working on, lazy plot devices
Code
Built by AI! (tbh I didn't even bother to check if the feet and meter formulas were correct lol)
def convert_lat_lon_into_cardinal_direction(lat, lon, wiki_page_lat, wiki_page_lon):
if lat > wiki_page_lat:
lat_direction = "north"
elif lat < wiki_page_lat:
lat_direction = "south"
else:
lat_direction = ""
if lon > wiki_page_lon:
lon_direction = "east"
elif lon < wiki_page_lon:
lon_direction = "west"
else:
lon_direction = ""
feet = round(364000 * ((lat - wiki_page_lat)**2 + (lon - wiki_page_lon)**2)**0.5)
meters = round(feet * 0.3048)
return {
"lat_direction": lat_direction,
"lon_direction": lon_direction,
"feet": feet,
"meters": meters
}
The struggle of naming a method that calls other methods. main? logic? process?
async def process(lat, lon):
geo_loc = await geosearch(lat, lon)
random_geo_loc = choose_random_geo_loc(geo_loc)
title = random_geo_loc['title']
summary = get_page_summary(title)
cardinals = convert_lat_lon_into_cardinal_direction(lat, lon, random_geo_loc['lat'], random_geo_loc['lon'])
return {
"title": title,
"summary": summary,
"cardinals": cardinals,
"geo_loc": random_geo_loc
}

Roald Dahl’s poem “Television” says it all: “So please, oh please, we beg, we pray / go throw your TV set away / and in its place, you can install / a lovely bookshelf on the wall.” (View Highlight)

In 2015, archaeologists reported that they'd found 3,000-year-old honey while excavating tombs in Egypt, and it was perfectly edible.

"I can explain" then some external interruption is such a lazy plot device, it's like why do you need to prevent characters from learning information due to hand of god events, its so lame (from watching XO Kitty)
