Real-Time. Consistency. High-Availability. Concurrency. Words with too many different meanings are not sufficient for describing softwares. I treat those words as marketing terms.

Feasible for my personal use. 100 free daily quota. 1000 calls per 5$. I'm not affiliated with Google.

There is another option: Google offers a paid API for search.

Thanks for your insight. My experience is that not all people (re)search, for some people, social media is their only source of information online.

Just adding another piece of info. R-Tree is a generic solution to spatial queries. For static datasets that don't need to update, quadtree or kd-tree is simpler to understand and implement.

SpatiaLite is a great extension for spatial functions, it is very useful for implementing location-based services. And I like the idea of extending SQLite just for the simplicity of file base DB.
A slightly related problem I encountered several times is reverse geocoding: given a point, a map, which polygon the point is in? I figured out that the problem is solvable via rasterization and run-length-encoding, which doesn't need a spatial library, and works efficiently with any SQL DBs without GIS/spatial extensions. I created a website (https://reverse-geocoding.com/) to demonstrate the idea, which has a GPS-to-country DB in SQLite format.

Another interesting fact about jellyfish is that they are brainless and mindless.

Cool. But the aspect ratio is changed after the conversion.

It's just personal preference.
Books that just give information (especially techs) are replaced by the Internet. Other books are supposed to teach me something, but my experience is that I learn stuff by doing and thinking rather than reading.

Zero. I guess I'm an outliner.
