That's why shutters (roller or hinged) exist that are on the outside of the windows. Here in Southern Germany pretty much every window has them and since they block the sun outside the window, it can help a lot not getting the interior

It varies a lot by university. In Osnabrück the Semesterticket basically allowed to travel as far as Hanover, Münster and Bremen, which was pretty far as that goes. In Rostock on the other hand it only covered the city and a few of the surr

It happens with other plural endings too ... the worst I've seen was Zwiebel’n . I'm not entirely sure how that one came into existence.

A roundabout requires signage in any case. At least in all countries I've seen one so far. Otherwise it's not a roundabout and may even have very different rules.

The map view also tended to break after two years or so due to a Google maps API key lapsing. It was noticeable for a whole that the subscription variant got a lot more love and effort (but maybe that languished similarly).

I guess they have some data when all their other products became subscription-only to see how many people actually walk away. Perhaps it's not many. And I'm not sure how large a business that part actually is. I got quite annoyed

Buses sometimes have flywheels for that purpose, too. Although that also has weight and space, so may not be worthwhile for a vehicle where both are needed for its primary purpose.

In the popup when clicking it there's a "Move object" near the bottom. You must be logged in for that to appear, though.

Yes, the point-based maps typically allow you to move a feature.

I'm sorry that you had a bad experience adding data. Road closures are a somewhat advanced topic and differ in tagging depending on how long the road is expected to be closed. For short closures it's not recommended to actually ma

StreetComplete is fairly limited in scope (which is a good thing, considering its focus on UX and doing that single thing really well). But there are a bunch of more “expert” features, such as the overlays, which allow for more focused QA w

Mapillary or Kartaview are the typical choices here to add free street-level imagery which can then be used for OSM purposes as well. What also works is Wikimedia Commons. There's a good mobile app. You can take pictures of a POI, uplo

But surveying shops coming and going works really well with StreetComplete as well (check the places overlay). Besides, the app is such a wonderful gateway drug to OSM that even if the only benefit at the end of the day from most mappers we

Google cheats here, though. They were able to show a recently completed bridge as completed simply by the fact that traffic was passing over it. OSM still had it within half an hour of opening, though.

Definitely no way for Nov 2024 since they're already no longer merging features for that release. Considering the scope of this, I'm doubtful for next year as well. .NET takes their time with features to get them right as well. Th

Yeah, I've been through that recently as well. The fix for now was to temporarily switch to .NET 8, apply a code fix that adds the inherited nullable annotations throughout the whole solution and revert back to .NET Framework 4.8. This

AFAIK you can still use it for older frameworks. The compiler embeds the attributes into the assembly when they're known to not be part of the runtime library [−3.7]. You can do the same with the various conditional nullability attribu

In this particular case it goes further. C#'s nullable-reference types are useful, have a few problems, e.g. • The feature is compile-time only (unsurprising considering the type narrowing approach is very similar to how TypeScript wor

I'm currently involved at work with migrating a legacy C# code base to nullable reference types. One thing I'd really like is the explicit marker for non-nullable since it makes it explicit which parts of the code have already bee
