Subject: [Bangalore RUG] Cartographer in a new Avatar! , now supports Google
Maps 3 & Rails 3

Hello All,
  Cartographer is a Google Maps wrapper that was originally written 
in 2005 when Rails tagged 0.1.  For many years people used it to 
painlessly generate maps. The plugin was left orphan with no support 
for future google map's api releases. Hence the legacy apps couldnt  
migrate to Google Maps v3 easily. But this is no longer true!

I have brought cartographer codebase back to life for providing drop-
in replacement for google maps v3 and support for rails 3.

It is now well-covered with tests to ensure backward compatibility of 
the older API.

Check that out : http://github.com/parolkar/cartographer

Anybody who has apps using order versions of cartographer? This is 
useful for you, I am doing a performance benchmark and need to hear 
your experiences, contact me off the thread.

---
write good code, be humble and live a great life :)

Article: Stateful Continuation for AI Agents: Why Transport Layers Now Matter

Agent workflows make transport a first-order concern. Multi-turn, tool-heavy loops amplify overhead that is negligible in single-turn LLM use. Stateful continuation cuts overhead dramatically. Caching context server-side can reduce client-sent data by 80%+ and improve execution time by 15–29% .
