🎉 Our poster was selected for State of the Maps 2026!
"A useless map"
Modern maps always serve a specific purpose or function, whether for data analysis, urban planning, or navigation. But sometimes, people forget the emotional aspect of maps.
When Aragorn looks at a map, he sees arduous responsibilities and challenges. When the Kenders in Krynn look at a map, they see a joyful journey into the unknown. Genghis Khan would draw a large circle on a map and say, “This is the steppe of us Mongols.” A wanderer far from home would point to one spot after another on the map, recounting his memories to a stranger.
A map doesn’t have to be functional, it can be emotional. A map doesn’t have to be objective, it can be subjective. A map doesn’t have to be reasonable, it can simply just beautiful.
The data comes from OSM, with each color representing a land-use type, and the color scheme inspired by the traditional Japanese card game “Hanafuda.” This is a postcard from the other side of the world.
Have a nice day :)

🚨 S3 is no longer just Object Storage.
Yesterday (April 7, 2026), AWS officially launched Amazon S3 Files.
This is the biggest update to S3 in 20 years.
It can:
→ Mount S3 buckets as native file systems
→ Provide sub-millisecond file access
→ Handle POSIX permissions (UID/GID) natively
→ Connect to Lambda, EC2, and EKS directly
→ Eliminate the need for s3fs or data staging
Your AI agents can read/write to S3 like a local disk, while your data team access the same objects via API.
DevOps just got a massive upgrade.
