The UI is hosted on Github pages: there's no server-side code. The only required server-side component is https://github.com/prose/gatekeeper - an app that makes OAuth possible with CORS.

OpenStreetMap's ODbL license has a sharealike clause that would legally require Google to share the dataset they combine OSM with: http://www.openstreetmap.org/copyright

Well, Windows-supporting hardware is cheap. Raspberry PIs don't have the processing power to run anything more than basic HTML pages. Finding 'cheap macs' is a losing battle - Apple hardware holds its value. Running Linux on

On a stick, the world (via OSM) is around 33GB. It's 300+GB in PostGIS, so about a 10x win.

This would be much better reordered. The lead 'why concatenative programming matters' is only answered halfway through, after the reader is expected to trudge through lambda notation. Why it matters: it's the basis for interpreters of langu

DC is interested in changing this and will have the opportunity to do so in a year, when the Lexis contract expires and they can write a new one - or try to bring it in-house.

You're right that I'm not a lawyer, but wrong about the rest. Beyond formatting, inclusions of copyrighted text have allowed West to claim copyright over the work - see adjacent comments ( http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5252150 http

You are indeed wrong. Most states maintain the code internally and release it in a complete, copyright-free form. Here are a few with nice mirrors: http://www.statedecoded.com/states/

The action/creativity editing of bills into the law is not a justification for copyright, and it has not been used by West (or any other entity) to claim copyright. West claims copyright on design, annotations, citation, and database struct

Numpy would be faster, and so would PyPy as I point out. I'm comparing unoptimized implementations on purpose and not trying to incite some kind of language-speed-flamewar.

Hey - I should have mentioned your implementation - I stumbled upon it and was like "whoah, this guy actually wrote this from scratch" :) In this case, it's a combination - the algorithm Jenks arrived at is not just the math-implemented, bu

The source was dumped with no version history once in 2009. So, yes, out of date. That said, I know nothing of the conditions around this, what their plans were, and so on - so not judging. And a site like EveryBlock is less about source co

Point taken :), the name is quirky, hard to google, and surely used for other things. The eventual goal, though, is for it to be just 'the openstreetmap editor' with iD being a codename - so the problem will 'go away'.
