Also, I just realized, if the bus routes are not in the OSM, he could use the new iD editor and add the bus routes to OSM under his account, and then export :)

I would probably draw in QuantumGIS and export as shapefile. There are many many ways to draw or otherwise generate spatial data. I think it depends on what you mean by 'effectively'? Edit: Ok, I just re-thought your comment, and

Cool article, explains how you can do anything using Python, although doesn't mention Mapnik. However, for most people, these days I would recommend to try TileMill ( https://www.mapbox.com/tilemill/ ) to make a map

"an IMAP client may assume that the message will never change" I burst out in laughter at that point. Yeah, that silly presumptuous email client assuming an email is some kind of text message that doesn't change every time yo

I don't think I like the LCD refresh rate to go anywhere below 60hz. 30 seems like really quite bad, duplicated frame or not.

Thank you, that's the kind of stuff I was looking for.

I think understand the complex reality that dynamic features arising from 'everything is a nested dictionary', and I used monkey patching once to save my life, but that seems a lot like Luas use of metatables. Is Lua less mutable?

Ok, so the difference seems 'huge' in size. But the language complexity difference doesn't seem proportionate, so I'm curious what the list of these additional python language features is.

Ok, these comments is exactly what I hear, but leaves me more curious. What exactly is this complexity? On the surface, Python doesn't seem much more complex. It's data-structures also seem more simple to me.

So why is Lua so much faster than Python? I tried searching about this but primarily people discuss historical context. I'm curious about real language features and whys.

lol it's funny I'm getting downmoded as if I am responsible for the answers to these questions.

I don't think this opinion can be based on personal experience. One or two computers, especially developers machines are a sample size too small. Also, I've had an opposite experiences. Not to mention that what we most notice is d

Are you saying Ubuntu has better driver support than Windows?

Are these things something manufacturers put in the specifications for the computers the sell? Are these things something customers shopping for a computer look for?

I agree that they don't understand, and further more, they don't even understand what 'code' is. How computers work, or what the technical innards of the computers have to do with democracy. Frankly, I don't underst

Haha, I wonder if the name is just a clever way to get the word out, since yandex is fairly unknown in the west.

HDF5 is a hierarchical data storage format, it doesn't store or 'execute' code or retrieve language objects. In fact, it has nothing more to do with python or python data structures than NetCDF, geotiff or .mkv. I guess this

What you're saying makes sense, but I suspect is different than what the author means to say: "What you do for a living distinctly differs from who you are." There is work and there is job. I want to associate my work with my

Me too, but I was hoping for this year... At this point it looks it will be one more year.

I agree, that's probably more sensible than organizing another conglomerate. The question is, why hasn't this been done?

It's not bad, my Nexus 7 has been an adequate appliance of a walled garden variety, so I don't want or expect a flexible operating system. It comes with all the apps I will ever need from it, such as book reader and browser. I do

But like with nuclear power, we don't have to do all the work. We don't need to generate electricity and then run conventional a CO2 filter. Hypothetically, if we dump 1 trillion dollars into genetic engineering, why can't we

Is there any reason no one is talking about terraforming seriously yet? What kind of technologies can be used to draw the CO2 out of the atmosphere, how much would it cost to make a difference?
