OsmAnd should work for you. It's just a regular 2d map (though it can do topo lines & hill shading). As long as you have a GPS signal you should be able to find where you are relative to where the run is on OpenStreetMap.

I'm not sure how long you've been around, but if you remember the way that OOP was implemented in version 3, you'll realize they've been coming around for a while now.

I believe "America" is usually an abbreviated form of "United States of America" whereas "The Americas" is commonly used to refer to the American continents. Edit: this is a little different than your case wher

I'm not sure "crap" is the word I'd use for that, but I think I understand what you're getting at. The problem is that the TeX fonts are designed to work at a much higher resolution (as is typical for being printed)

Probably because self-styled 10x developers in real life are often developers who are good at creating technicall debt really quickly.

For most programming, as long as your algorithms are not stupidly slow, clarity is more important than efficiency. In certain situations (video games, embedded devices with few resources) this is less true, and things like the ability to do

This is a far better metric. Elegance, while a worthwhile goal, is at its best a vague notion and at its worst, a guise for all sorts of leaky abstractions.

I don't think anyone would disagree that OAuth is a far, far better solution. But there's not really anything Sunrise can do to make Apple implement OAuth.

Would you challenge that? I'm a bit out of my league here, but it seems like there are proportionally more black men in politics than white women. ("Disadvantaged" is a poor word for these stats; however, because it implies t
