Modeling the world in a way that alienates or fails to serve people in specific places or cultures, creating undue technical burden on data consumers, causing pains that discourage mappers from contributing, dividing the already precariousl

My reading of the situation is that, in general, they want the community to reach consensus on a globally appropriate data model and visual language, ultimately for the purpose of serving all of humanity, fairly. Given the unique position o

This is how I’ve had the most success in the absence of a CMS. Automate dumping of the website text into Google Docs/Sheets and have people edit those.

Yeah I have zero interest in actively soliciting attention to my projects. I shared them in case that helps anyone. We have web search.

It’s clearly the intended exchange. It doesn’t have to be literally in the legal “terms” to affect your assessment of fairness. I don’t tolerate ads; I don’t choose ad-supported services.

The only thing horrifying about this situation is the extent to which people are apparently taking these software outputs seriously. Or perhaps the extent to which others are selling the illusion for personal gain.

To add to this, not everyone needs to pursue the same kind of work. As a more experienced mapper I make a point of allocating my time toward what I think of as “scaffolding” tasks that enable others’ mobile contributions—geometry, wide area

That’s great to hear. The OSM website hides the Edit link on my phone and I’d inferred that iD must therefore not be sufficiently usable on mobile.

What do you recommend to beginners for mapping in the field? Walk around with a laptop? Or just notes on paper for later data entry? In the mapping events I’ve attended a clear goal was to onboard people into contributing casually and frequ

Depends where you go. Around here the local government provides aerial imagery as a public service and it’s higher quality than Microsoft’s. A nearby city recently began using OSM in its GIS services and bootstrapped the new arrangement by

I’d place in the same category the responses that I give to those chat popups so many sites have. They show a person saying to me “Can I help you with anything today?” so I always send back “No”.

Arachnid here… What am I looking at? The intent is to waste the resources of crawlers by just making the web larger?

The image loading/rendering is fascinating, beginning grainy and then smoothing with time. Can you elaborate on what’s happening?

Sadly USPS is frequently the perpetrator. https://www.usps.com/business/every-door-direct-mail.htm I’ve tried every opt-out I can find and it still doesn’t stop.

Yep, as a last resort I tried doing this with an apparently unstoppable catalog and got about a month before the postal worker scrawled a nastygram back on one threatening delivery embargo.

Thumbnails at a high pixel density. I just want them up fast. Any quality that can be squeezed out of it is a bonus.

Looks like it’s not very competitive at low bitrates. I have a project that currently encodes images with MozJPEG at quality 60 and just tried switching it to Jpegli. When tuned to produce comparable file sizes (--distance=4.0) the Jpegli i

Isn’t the explanation just that delivery estimates have a wide margin of error? To guarantee delivery by a target date the order must be placed by the beginning of the margin, but if you order within the margin there’s some probability of

What’s the significance of linking to this? Is it new? Is there something unusual to see there now? I’m familiar with Debian but don’t know the meaning of ROCm.
