Not mentioned in this review is that the scheme to reduce Oxford's traffic actually took effect in October: https://oxfordclarion.uk/clarion-weekly-31-october-ghost-edi... So far it seems to be making a noticeable, alb

For UK readers, this is eerily similar to the typeface originally used on the "Thames Turbo" trains (class 165/166) from their construction in the 1990s until a refurb about five years ago - I could believe it was the same ma

You just named three code editors. TextEdit is not a code editor. Not everyone is a developer.

My favourite Mac app for over 20 years. I used to edit a news-stand magazine: every article that went into the magazine was subbed with TextEdit. All my daily notes are in TextEdit. My todo lists are in TextEdit. If I'm writing longfor

Absolutely yes. Just expanding on the point that the "scale" in question was how Komoot chose to run their operations, not the size of customer base addressed. Bending Spoons have, quite adroitly, figured that they can serve 90% o

They had 250 employees, plus paid influencers, for a (predominantly) cycle routing app used in Europe. That’s why it was unsustainable. A realistic sized business would have been sustainable.

This is half right IMO. I'd agree with the first part of the article: when you have a growth-at-all-costs company, which is then sold to someone who wants to control costs to crank out the maximum profit, then users are inevitably goin

OSMand isn't an official OSM app any more than Organic Maps is. It's just that they founded the app before the OSM Foundation got round to thinking about a trademark policy.

PostGIS is included in Postgres.app which is a single executable for Mac. DuckDB appears also to be a single file download for Mac. I’m not sure your “when I was first learning PostGIS” experience reflects the current situation. https:&#x2

In the case of OpenStreetMap-derived geocoding, of course, their terms of service can say "we won't continue to sell to you if that's what you're doing". But the data itself is ODbL-licensed so once you've got

Indeed. Sometimes you’ll have two Co-ops from different groups right next to each other: Shipston-on-Stour has a Midcounties Co-op two doors down from a Co-operative Group Co-op. Both are externally branded Co-op, they sell many of the same
