If everything is in Wikidata then you can probably do that. It is always going to be a bit hard to get the polish of the data there. I am a firm believer in that good visualization gives you better data. You can probably get a lot of detail

I wonder if you and the person who replied really understands how you feel when you have been part of something over 20 years and see it destroyed by tone deaf changes to text. I have no idea how Sumobot works, but it is easy to see how Moz

It has been in the making for at least ten years, the problem for me has been that that production environments and test environments are not the same when you use proxys. So you need to check both, and you need to have the same type of con

Openstreetmap is not mentioned anywhere in the JupyterGIS repo [1]. As is mentioned OSM data can be used anywhere. [1] https://github.com/search?q=repo%253Ageojupyter%252Fjupyterg...

I like the GPL it has given us a lot. I am guessing here but I do understand why they want people to open source the management code of minio and in some cases how it is integrated into a product. I understand that AGPL might not be written

Is there anyone that thinks robots that we can do a 99% robotic mission on the moon and get value from it? I think it would be easier to create a permanent human moon settlement. Doing autonomous robotic missions is really hard at the momen

Agree it is very bad for everyone to think like this. The problem is that on subject that divide you will always have two sides. Some times you need to tone down articles too much to not be biased to either way. So I also agree that ther

You pay for Wikipedia because you want it to prosper. The political part of Wikipedia is vital to make it succeed. Even though everyone uses Wikipedia not everyone knows why it succeeded and why it is important. The fluff is important to ha

Editors are expensive, DRM and copyright is a lot of work. AI is not a good editor yet text come out too bland.

One argument would be that a driver in a cab will pay tax, a robot taxi will pay a lot less. That is quite a lot of money that is funneled to private companies instead of being used to improve our infrastructure.

Doing paper backups is hard I could not store much data on paper when I last tried with QR codes. You need to to multiple QR codes since they are only 2KB each. There are some threads about it on HN, but I have never seen anyone do megabyte

About:config works great. You have to run a developer build. One could try to solve the issues with it. Honestly I think Firefox saying you could brick Firefox mobile with the wrong options is a a sign of what you call suckage. The problem

What I mean with "no experience" is that I have never fixed issues with them myself. The amount of hours we were billed internally for fixing a broken .Net app tells me it was not that easy though. My point is that if you do not k

I have never been a Python fan, but I wrote my first python application in Zope 26 years ago it still runs. Since then I have touched other things that are much worse not all of them on the list above. My point is that while python may brea

The only thing I know is that I know nothing. My work is basically just guessing all the time. Sure I am incredibly lucky, seeing my coworkers the Oracle and the Necromancer do their work does not instill a feeling that we know much. For so

Any project written in a language with big user base java, C#, C++, perl, rust even fortran has this problem. The only thing that helps is experience with the language. I very seldom see code that survives ten years, even no deps things f

I wonder if it is easier/lighter to make a parachute that can handle different speeds, e.g. for atmospheric reentry, reusing the same structure for the drogue chute and the main chutes.

Looks seamless when you use it like that. As a "normal user" of a desktop OS, network audio always seems so custom, I guess how the OS and applications handle audio is always going to be the bottle neck. I have no need for a DAW

As a Openstreetmap contributor I know it is a rather common mistake, it is very seldom support actually can edit the map like you can on http://osm.org sadly these mistakes are not always trivial. I have similar support tickets

You need to work out what the nearest routable adress is. This works wonderfully with taxis here. FWIW cul de sacs are an evil invention, and what you describe is a common routing problem. The rescue services here solved it by mandating add

I have replaced thousands of flash chips on a running server farm, the guy who did the soldering had a 100% success rate in the end. My part was not perfect, so I agree it was hard but perfectly doable.

You should look at Cost benefit analysis, there was one made on Copenhagen. [1] Bicycle infrastructure usually gets you 6x-12x on the invested amount, getting a 1.2 CBA is ok, 2 is amazing. Bicycle infrastructure is often destroyed by those
