Ok, makes sense, I hadn't read it like this. For me, "correct" means "provides correct results".
543.
by jraph 1y ago
How so? Finding correct stuff is the whole point of research, no matter the extent at which it actually succeeds in reaching this. So yes, regardless on the actual results it is a major need in academia. We have nothing better anyway (which

I'm not expert on OpenGraph, and it's been a while I've actually manipulated RDF other than the automatically generated og meta tags. I'd say defining this as linked data was quite idiomatic / elegant. It's pos

You wouldn't spell out HyperText Markup Language each time. RDF is one of those things it's easy to assume everybody has already encountered. RDF feels fundamental. Its predicate triplet design is fundamental, almost obvious (in

Well, the reality is complex and OSM wants to be precise :-) Apps shall then make it easy to look for stuff and OSM labels are quite low level, they usually have their specific/internal representation of things. All this to say: - I do

Ah, yet it's easy! The day of Wednes. Wednes, old spelling of wedness, the state of being wed. (So my comment is not totally useless, I'll link to the actual etymology for the ones who are now curious - my sibling comment already

It'd be worth checking if these nodes are actually correctly mapped. For instance, historical wells that are dry, locked, etc should probably not be labeled with amenity=drinking_water. And the missing one should probably be updated to

For water specifically, it works well on CoMaps / Organic Maps (search > categories > water). It's too bad we don't have a convenient UI for desktop. OSM has to be the only thing that's more convenient to use on mo

You have this in the category search on Organic Maps and CoMaps as well :-). This, and toilets.

What do you mean the vector release? OSMAnd has had vector maps forever (since the beginning?). Did they change the rendering?

A good OSM app for desktop is sorely needed, I'll be sure to check this out. Thanks for building this as free software and for making it available on Linux. Nicely detailed README as well. You should probably submit a Show HN. edit: ju

I use OrganicMaps / CoMaps for hiking. It has contour lines, it gives an elevation gain graph when you build an itinerary, and does seem to take the elevation gain in account when estimating time. I have not planned complex hiking itin

On Android, CoMaps works on Android 5, which is not bad at all. But they are probably going to drop support for Android 5 soon because libraries might themselves drop support for Android 5 (Organic Maps will probably have the same issue).

Yep. And, unfortunately this is a bit hidden, but if you search "Vegetarian" it finds places where you can eat vegetarian and "Vegan" for places where you can eat vegan. I wonder how many hidden magic search strings like

It's been around for some time and is a fork of Maps.me, which was called MapWithMe before this.

And now we have CoMaps [1], an Organic Maps fork. I have both OSMAnd and CoMaps installed and started with OSMand, but I see myself reaching for CoMaps exclusively now. Both apps are very good. [1] https://www.comaps.app/

We are taking about expression, not decision power, in this thread.

I won't completely blame you, I guess the AI hype needs some deserved hard push back. If that's what will make people realize it's not actually cool.
