Not always, I guess. If you count raw number of features edited, it's way easier to crank up the number by drawing some buildings, forests, lakes, landuse from satellite/aerial imagery. Whereas things like points of interest (shop

The company in question is Rocketdata.io. You pretty much summed up their incompetent modus operandi, let me just add they're a company that maintains a presence of their clients (e.g. retail) at various online maps and business direct

Regarding corporate contributions: Often the corporations take the route of least resistance - employing dispensable workers who don't live in countries they're mapping [1], and aren't given proper training. It seems that sou

I think Poland is better off not using Cyrillic for political reasons. One less reason for Russia to exert its influence by preaching pan-slavism and "russkiy mir". On a practical side - even if you know Cyrillic, lowercase letter

For me the noise is still there, even if it takes another form. Jokes, puns and nastiness are swapped for hacker-y style rants (we know how idiosyncratic many of hackers are) or people who talk about things they lack the knowledge of. Ironi

They always sound so memorable yet mysterious, especially so the ones created by concatenation of two ordinary words, like ETERNALBLUE or FOGBANK. We should make a GPT-based generator of USA secret codenames ;)

Apparently after Altera acquisition they sought "synergies" in all the different divisions. My friend was an intern who was tasked with porting some of the network protocol stack to SystemVerilog. Apparently it did work and System

Yeah, it's interesting considering that supposedly engineers are not significantly cheaper in Chinese tech hubs compared to the West. The Western chipmakers are being disrupted with chips that are good enough, not realizing that cheap

True, but I don't agree with what he said here @ 8:00 https://youtu.be/ZxYOEwM6Wbk?t=481 Is this really the case? I checked Wikipedia and MathWorld and nobody makes a distinction between e^x and exp(x). Even if it&#x27

This map uses OpenStreetMap-based map tiles (this style is called OSM Bright) served from MapTiler. But the attribution (see https://osm.org/copyright and https://www.maptiler.com/cloud/terms/ ) i

There's somewhat of a resentment at Mapbox from the OSM community that they hide the required attribution [1] behind an "i" icon on mobile. This information besides satisfying the licence requirements serves as a "powere

Probably being butthurt about OpenMapTiles and MapTiler "stealing" their business? But then again, Mapbox, judging by the buzzword-laden landing pages and focus on "contact the sales team", seems to be catering to the c

Now, if only there was a project to deliver freely licensed maps of the world... Let's call it, idk, OpenStreetMap? Sounds cool :^)

You say "greige-ification" while Polish architecture and design communities lament the pasteloza ("pastelosis") trend. It came to be when existing commie blocks were thermally insulated with styrofoam and their façades p

Speaking of Amazon trying to downplay its wrongs, I recall there was a post here that counted Amazon PR team at 400-odd people. But I could not find it. Are they so effective or have I Mandela'd myself and this did not happen?

Ask HN: Fave smartphone apps using it as a “mobile computer” like in 2010s?

It seems kind of an inelegant solution to me. They could just solder a resistor to the package at the factory or do some variation of that idea. Now, modern processors are binned, too, depending on the CMOS process corner they turned at. Sl

If we're talking about IC EDA - then the OpenAccess library format (anything but, more like InteroperableAccess at best) is binary. The industry standard version control here is Perforce. Perforce being Perforce, there even are 3rd par
