Damn ... They could have bought 24 more Instagrams with that :(

Cool, but if I enter a hex value with the pound sign at the beginning, I get a 404 error

IMHO throttling to 6Mbit/s is a lot different than throttling to 384kbit/s

I am lucky enough to live in Cologne we have fibre in almost every household (NetCologne) so I don't really worry .. But still most people have to rely on Telekom offerings cause there are no other options.

by klaustopher 13y ago
To be picky ... Most other providers aren't resellers of Telekom plans. They own their own infrastructure and only have to rent the cables going from the distribution box to the customer's house. And this line is not charged by the traffic

by klaustopher 13y ago
The only problem is that they OWN most of the cables and most other providers need to rent at least the "last mile" or maybe even other parts of their infrastructure (i.e. 1&1 uses Telekom DNS services) so there is a big chance, that ot

They already do that in their mobile offerings. In certain plans, Spotify traffic is excluded from the monthly traffic limit

I kind of agree. But I get the opinion that provision of basic infrastructure like water supply, electricity, roads, railroad tracks and telecommunications should be handled by a democratic government instead of a profit-oriented enterprise

This is why we need the state to take back the phone network it paid for in the first place, manage it and rent it out to the Telekom like any other ISP ...

Worst part is that they are excluding their own services from that traffic. So you can watch Telekom IP TV without buying a traffic extension, but for movies from the iTunes store you have to pay iTunes for media and Telekom for traffic. Ni

Very nice, and the soundfont sounds a lot better than the stuff that comes with most operating systems

That's a good idea, I think I will be going that route. Then I wouldn't have to deal with any server differences, etc ... But I think if I do the comparison without a full web stack, people will be like "Yeah, in this lab scenario ... But t

I said that the results come from running webrick, I want to give the other servers a try. But in my opinion the web server shouldn't have anything to do with the render speeds of the template language. That's why I'd love to eliminate it a

I agree, If you would be using Express.js or something similar I think node would give you numbers that look more like the rails stuff. But I'm really interested in eliminating as much of the framework as possible to get more comparable num

I think it can be traced back to the pretty and ugly modes. Haml returns nicely indented code by default (at least in development, as I just learned), Slim uses ugly mode by default which doesn't add any whitespace or indentation

My bad, sorry ... I'm going to change it on the Github page, but I can't edit it here, sorry.

by klaustopher 14y ago
I was going with the defaults, and I was running it in development mode ... An issue on the page already pointed out, that the comparison to Slims ugly mode isn't really that fair. But I just went with the out-of-the-box config, as do most

Where I found my "love" for OSM was when I bought a Garmin GPS and I used the OSM bike maps. Here in Germany they are very detailed and I have made 500km or so bike tours only relying on OSM maps. Whereas Google still doesn't have that many

Whoever thinks they can create something that has "government approved quality" in 48 hours is crazy. We are not crazy. As stated before, we wanted to use the data that is already there and make it available in a userfriendly way, something

Nope we didn't, as I said in the post, it was one of the things we decided up front to use ArangoDB. It is developed locally and we wanted to try if it scales up and assists us, or if we should go the "traditional" Postgres way that everybo

by klaustopher 14y ago
I agree, the data is not optimized for searching since it's supposed to serve all sorts of purposes. We didn't look into elastic search, since we wanted to give ArangoDB a try. We will have a look into it, thanks for the hint!

Yeah, next time we will use the PBF, but there's currently no ruby parser for this. If we continue to regularly parse the data, we will have to write a wrapper around the C parser. Thanks for the link

by klaustopher 14y ago
Yeah, it basically is ... We use osmosis to preparse the data and than just parse the XML ... It is a pain. I think what we can try is to import the data in the same format they have it in OSM and use smart indexes within the database to is
