It could have been the other way around if global positioning systems were either not developed or used only by the military. In that case, detecting scenery of a park could be easier than trying to figure out the position on the map.

Or it could just be that maps data are not shared. You’ll need to hire boats and hire people to go and draw the map.

If the pieces are small enough, there’s an option to print one by one in the same print.

Others have given excellent advices. I’ll approach it from management point of view:

• If there’s management oversight, such as tech lead/engineering manager, talk to them. Don’t make any accusation. Approach it from the direction of you feeling uncomfortable with how the team is working. They will know how to solve the issue. However, any tech lead/engineering manager should have already dectected the problem and at a minimum acknowledge the issue.

• If there’s no tech management oversight, I’d suggest you approach the senior engineer directly. I’d want to emphasize here that it has to be tech management. Non tech management won’t understand the problem and they won’t be able to solve the problem. Sometimes the senior engineer maybe under pressure to deliver and there’s nobody to split the tasks to other team members. I did this a few times in my career before I developed my skill to lead a team.

• If it’s neither because the senior is under pressure to deliver, nor there’s management oversight, your next best bet is to seek consultantion with another senior, either in your team or another team. They maybe able help to talk to the senior.

• Your last resort would be non tech management, or saying it another way: express that you’re not happy with your job. This won’t be much help unless others in your team doing so as well.

If all these fail, consider finding another offer. There’s no oversight, there’s no willing to inprove from the senior and there’s no chance to improve the situation from other seniors, you won’t learn much there.

Let’s say YouTube has a video and 2 ads:

1. The video is served from videos.example.tld/video.mp4.
2. The first ads is served from videos.example.tld/ads/ads1.mp4.
3. The second ads is served from ads.company.tld/ads2.mp4.

PiHole will be able to block only (3) because DNS applies at domain level, as in videos.example.tld. DNS requests only send the domain part and re-use the response for all addresses using that domain.

Browser extension, on the other hand, sees a request to .../ads... and block it since it handled each HTTP/S request and know the full URL.

Please please please, God, Allah, Buddha, any god or non god out there, please don’t let any engineer bringing up branchless programming for a AWS lambda function in our one-function-per-micro-service f*ckitechture.
