That's not quite what Warren Buffett is saying. He's saying that Coca-Cola's revenue stream will continue unless something pretty much impossible happens; like finding out it causes cancer. To quote: "I feel 100% sure (p

Off topic, but I wanted to say thank-you. I've recently had to move away from an antiquated Gallery2 install, and these photos had me wondering how you were hosting a personal gallery. This led me to Juicebox which seems super-cool and

Unfortunately, working in a big enterprise world, I've seen both sides of this. After a while it becomes somewhat obvious if someone is legitimately asking for more info, or if they are just punting the ticket down the queue. (The form

Thank you very much for explaining that. That makes a lot of sense. I really wish there was a better way for tagging things like narrow/twisty natural surface trails vs. wide flat ones, but that seems all balled up in US vs. EU hiking

One of the main reasons for this is a lack of data. The Strava Heatmap (crowdsourced data, based on past frequency of use) is pretty much the best. OSM tagging is insufficient for real good routing, and it doesn't take traffic patterns

Thank you for doing this. For years I've contributed trail data to OpenStreetMap, mostly to support mountain biking, but this is the exact kind of other project it benefits. It was really neat being able to try this on local trails and

Really? Thanks! Maybe that changed with an update since I got mine... That's excellent. I'll make a power cycle happen later and affirm things here.

I've been thinking of Aruba APs and a FortiGate 61F. It'll be more manual setup, but should work fine. I've got a nice UniFi setup at home (CloudKey G2, USG, 8-port switch, wired AP, mesh'd AP) and it works well, but it&

How about adding something to the page itself about completion status? I went and looked, before reading your second paragraph, and the clusters immediately jumped out, and it either seemed suspect or wrong. Then I had to come back here to

This is pretty much how one navigates complex mountain bike trail systems. Each intersection is numbered, has arrows pointing the way to the connected intersections, and usually shows a map showing the whole system. One can stop, look at wh

Thanks, this is interesting. I checked a few spots and it doesn't seem to be quite helpful for what I'm looking for (seeing if a road has had brush grow back in over it making it impassable) but this would be quite useful for othe

That's kinda how it is here. The best thing seems to be to bounce between Google Maps and OSM and an aerial view to get a sense of what's up. For an interesting example, check out this place: Google: https://www.google.

Yes, the TIGER problem is, but I don't think missing (or wrong due to physical abandonment) is a US-only problem. For cycling stuff I'm mostly ensuring that mountain bike-specific trails are in OSM and properly tagged (eg: highway

Roads in rural areas are a HUGE problem. Particular in remote / forested places where logging roads were used in TIGER data. For example, places like this: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=14/46.6397/-87.714

A lot of benefit that I add in my day job is bridging the gap between high level folks (OS people) and what's-actually-happening-on-the-wire. While so, so, so much of this is rarely the network, knowing how to look under the covers and

I do this too. After throwing around a bunch of other ideas, I realized that a Pi is cheap enough and the one-shot cost is nice. If it dies, I just update the MAC address for its DHCP reservation to the new pi, spend 10 minutes setting up a

I feel like a lot of this comes with "just being nice to people" which makes everyone feel nice, and makes a community feel good. So long as one isn't that... weird... guy who talks Way Too Much, it seems like a great thing f

I recall the same happening. Capital One, I believe. I really, really thought it was fraud at first until they basically said "yep, go for it, use the number on the back of your card then give us this code".

Hear hear. There are FAR too many "look how I modeled the data" things out there that are both super-optimistic and super-pessimistic. It's great that people are interested in modeling data, but it's far too easy for fol

It is great, and one of the other main weather apps that I use. But it lacks alerts. Dark Sky gives these (literally "Light Rain Starting in 20 Minutes" or "Heavy Rain Starting in 5 Minutes". Dark Sky also does a fair jo

This is really, really disappointing. I've been pretty critical of Dark Sky at times for being mediocre for more than maybe 12 hours out, but for very short term forecasts it worked great. I spent a fair amount of time outdoors and get

That's very true and a good point. It does load them fine, and they are usable. Just... Not good for editing. For a specific example, check out this: http://www.cramba.org/storage/maps/pontiaclake/CRAMBA_
