Oddbean new post about login | logout Porque não usar a distância pra ordenar os POST ao invés de filtrar pela distância? Botando os mais próximos primeiro?
ohh nice idea. I am not sure how to blend time and distance, though. Otherwise, you might see posts from last year. Maybe an euclidean distance with distance in one axis and time in another?
You could make it customizable. Put both on a log-scale and let us edit the multipliers. However, I'd like it to not have precise location, and only the nearest town or city is enough. Maybe it's easier to just manually divide into regions/subregions and let users pick what to follow.
now i get what the other post was on about, that one for the relay devs. Yes, in concept I like the time-distance space idea. But I'm thinking it may be compute intense if done over all posts found. How about an initial dummy filter: d=distance then take all within this square delimited coordinate space (x+/-d, y+/-d) Then do your time sort
