Yep, Mapillary is pretty cool! But in terms of approaching Google Street View, not close yet. I suppose if I get a dash mount for my phone I can contribute some data, but it'd just be along my daily commute. If anybody comes close, it&

I shouldn't be surprised, but the second was already mapped in OpenStreetMap,[0] and I've now added the first.[1] Unfortunately, the default renderer doesn't know how to draw a line of "man_made=conveyor_belt"... [0

Please stop asking questions like this about Node.js. The superfluous obtuse complexity that node.js forces is what's keeping ninja programmers like us employed. If we don't keep switching to strange new things every few years,

Don't forget Hoogle[1], the type-based search engine! Let's say that I want to combine a couple of my lists into one list. I know what my inputs look like, and I know what I want my output to look like. So I go to Hoogle, and sear

I think there's a decent gap where it doesn't make sense economically to download and run your own OSM tile server. Especially if you need worldwide coverage, the costs of keeping a tile server with a full dataset running plus a r

I was actually planning on writing a CloudMade/MapBox comparison, but it looks like there's no need anymore. It's tough to compare the two - each has services that the other doesn't (aerial imagery, routing, geocoding, e

If you want both OpenStreetMap and satellite imagery, check out MapQuest Open[0]. They provide OSM tiles and satellite imagery for anyone to use for free.[1] [0] http://open.mapquest.com/ [1] Well, check the terms at htt

As an aside, the tun/tap interface in Linux is a fantastic way to muck around with lower-level networking without getting into the kernel or hardware. Essentially, it creates a virtual network interface, except instead of hardware, dat

It's a japanification of the word "click". I don't know of any other meaning beyond that, though.

I created an implementation of R5RS in Javascript[1] that perhaps you'd be interested in. I know you already have one, but you might have opinions and needs that could influence my implementation. I got stalled trying to get (real) mac

I'm not really sure it's fair to say that people hate PHP because of its flexibility. Many other languages are very "flexible", and much more so than PHP for some things (you're less likely to do dumb threading or m

People have been buying cheap drawing tablets powered by UC-Logic digitizers at least as early as 2006. (Aiptek was especially known for selling a large, cheap drawing tablet, the 12000U.) Back then, there were a few caveats depending on th

Yep, I can also confirm that the UC-Logic devices are supported by the wizardpen driver on Linux. I wrote up some instructions a long time ago on getting it to work[1], and I'm sure there are more up-to-date instructions now. The USB protoc

I love the idea of a cheatsheet for Haskell, but I'd like to point out that the things covered by the cheatsheet are also the things I had the least trouble with starting out. Things like the syntax of pattern-matching and datatypes I'd rep

I nearly got the light blue and green confused, and I have normal color vision. I think there are reasons to prefer tables, or perhaps something animated or interactive would work as well. (e.g. mouseover a term to get its description.)

Actually, just consider that illegality is defined by other humans, often arbitrarily. A system that protects the privacy of users who have "American" free speech is simultaneously a system that protects "criminals" who violate blasphemy, r
