It helps that Every Door builds on the presets of iD, which are localized well and can often easily be found with searching, even by novice users. For me it has replaced OSM Go! as the app of choice for quickly adding details or changing a

Not when rendered in an img element. Well, they can still contain it, but it won't run.

I stopped drinking at 19, basically as a test for myself. I never liked most alcoholic beverages and absolutely hated the feeling of loss of control that came with alcohol. Saying no consistently can be annoying, depending on the people aro

At least some camera raw files are also TIFF under the hood, e.g. Canon's CR2. TIFF also natively supports more than 8 bits per color channel, so you can still edit the photo and don't necessarily lose information in the process,

I would guess there's not enough people that want to play the same game on both console and PC to warrant pouring effort. Most people play a game only on one platform.

I am always amazed at the effort in UX that StreetComplete has taken. Which sadly is also a reason why rewriting it in something that runs on iOS is a major undertaking. And replacing all those beautifully-designed quest screens with simple

I don't really know. There are guidelines and promoting those guidelines to new users can be beneficial. I do sometimes comment on changesets by other users where this happened with the use of normal editing tools (iD, JOSM) where some

OSMcha and a few other tools are probably much better suited for that purpose.

The devs are unwilling to automatically split changesets spatially. The main reason is that the app is intended to be used on foot, maybe bike, mapping only a small area and doing all that on the ground where you actually are. So mapping fr

WPF would probably be that. In any case, modern UI toolkits often are vector-based anyway because of UI scaling. Heck, even ancient ones are, if you look at the Marlett font. That contained scalable UI elements for Windows 95.

The nice thing about traffic is that safe driving can be enforced with proper infrastructure where unsafe driving feels unsafe. And that has the benefit of both forcing drivers to drive safely and keeping cyclists and pedestrians alive

It gets a lot better when you turn of web searches for the start menu search. Perhaps some people like having a single place to search for applications to run, documents on their PC, and things on the web. But I'm not one of them, and

This may be a habit picked up by people writing more-modern-than-C89 C code that also has to be compiled by MSVC. Since MSVC is foremost a C++ compiler it was stuck in C89 for a very long time (I think it's better now, but old habits p

Which also makes it quite nice to know how much a sheet of paper weighs. At 80 g/m² you'll get 5 g (80 / 2⁴) for A4. Handy for quickly determining how much postage to put on an envelope based on how many pages you put inside

DIN 5008 should be required reading for anyone ;-) I do care, though, and use ISO 8601 almost exclusively in writing. And I do know a few others. Perhaps things will change eventually.

It comes down to familiarity, but -20 to 40 degrees Celsius isn't that weird a scale, either. You're going to remember more or less arbitrary values for certain things anyway (too hot to be comfortably outside, cold enough to need

That's only for TVs, though. Computer monitors had higher refresh rates and were not audible.

The results look a bit like a telephoto Lensbaby in the out of focus areas. I don't think it's that bad.

IME every mode of transport has people who consider themselves to be more important than any rules that govern them. Pedestrians walking on cycleways and getting angry at getting belled at. Cyclists ignoring red lights or cycling on sidewal

Ah, [2] indeed looks like the same issue. I'll try to raise issues on osm-liberty for the other things. Not that they don't make sense to display in certain topic-specific maps, but for general-use maps I think there are some part

A few things that I notice in the area where I'm somewhat active as an OSM contributor: - You probably shouldn't render guideposts or route markers on the map, or at least not with generic "info" icon. - Things with acce

In Germany there's an independent organisation, Stiftung Warentest [−4], that anonymously buys various products in stores and tests them quite rigorously. Some may say perhaps a bit too well (including things like the manual, how easy

Interestingly, the Bosch food processor we have has a plastic coupling between the motor and the meat grinder attachment on purpose, so if anything gets stuck, it's a 5 € plastic part that's broken, instead of a more expensive and

It's probably also everything that is accidentally overlooked during the shoot. Previously you would hat a different take, perhaps, or live with the goof. Now you can just offload that to post-production. But probably also a question i

I think it's important to look at the long-term trend regularly. Otherwise small performance penalties each version can accumulate, but not really be apparent when just looking at each change in isolation. I've found what the .NET

Addresses in OSM are divided into their constituent parts, so you have separate house number, street (or place), city, suburb, country, etc. Of course, you still need country-specific code to account for all the various abbreviations, e.g.

A few of the previous approaches are mentioned in Other work near the end. And from reading a few articles on the topic I got the impression that, yes, drawing a single shape in a shader seems almost trivial, vector graphics in general me

Didn't OSMand do something strange to guess addresses instead of using reverse geocoding? I seem to remember that there were plenty of addresses that are actually in OSM and Nominatim has no trouble finding that OSMand cannot find or p

I'd typically start bisecting only after (or at the changeset) the feature has been introduced. At least with hg (and seemingly git as well) you can tell bisect to use a commit range where one end is good and the other is bad.

Would be fun to (a) put the historic roman names for places in OSM, and (b) create map tiles that mimic the maps that are shown when clicking on the places. Would make for a much nicer presentation than the default OSM tiles (which aren&#x2
