Sorry, I don't have an answer, but I just feel the need to say that OSM isn't alone. Google doesn't handle it any better when it comes controlling poisoned data. Some years ago, in my town some moron (probably in some half-a

Hmm. I thought this might create a bit more of a buzz around here. Even though it only available to those of us in the UK, episode 1 features an interview with a somewhat grumpy Sam Altman of Y Combinator. There's nothing new here fo

I don't anticipate ever using AWT or Swing again. JavaFX would get me interested but I don't see it mentioned. How feasible would that be?

Hmm. I also lived in Leeds for some years, but I've never heard either term used. I would have said most people from Leeds refer to themselves as a "Tyke", but I see that listed on Wikipedia as someone from Yorkshire in gene

I suppose the approach is to create a machine learning dataset that maps hi-res scans of sample documents to the printers that produced them. If the resulting classifier can accurately id the printer, you have probably found a watermark, bu

Sorry for being oblique. A day count is just the number of days since some arbitary point. Say today is 42849, tomorrow is 42850, etc.. If the user enters the 24th April 2017, you store 42849. When you read it back 42849 is always displa
