I don't have a specific reference, but here is a useful catalog of OSM-powered/OSM-editing tools: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/List_of_OSM-based_servic...

OSM is a truly incredible resource. It's often lightyears ahead of proprietary maps in terms of feature accuracy. Often far behind in terms of points-of-interest. It powers painless adding of maps to so many products, painless offline

Not sure I'm fully following your question, but maybe this helps: IME deep thinking hgas moved from upfront architecture to post-prototype analysis. Pre-LLM: Think hard → design carefully → write deterministic code → minor debugging Wi

Anecdotal tip on LLM-as-judge scoring - Skip the 1-10 scale, use boolean criteria instead, then weight manually e.g. - Did it cite the 30-day return policy? Y/N - Tone professional and empathetic? Y/N - Offered clear next steps?

Hi - I'm working on something like this because I needed it too ;-) It's not yet ready for release, but I should be ready for beta-test within 2 months. If you're interested I would be happy to add you to my list of "peo

We adopted Amazon's 6-pager strategy for meetings. It has been incredible helpful. TLDR - one person writes a document explaining the proposed feature, max length 6 pages. That one person does 80% of the work (whatever your org wants e

Yes and No. No because the official OSM tile layer is heavily subsidized by Fastly (€720k last I checked) and rendering by AWS (€40k) Yes because technically it would use fewer resources thus easier on AWS+Fastly and also easier to self-hos

My ad experience has changed dramatically after I leaned into multiple browser personas. In personal persona, I hate ads with passion and do everything to get rid of them (browser extensions, premium membership, etc). I value my personal ti

Think I read somewhere that of one of their content production differentiators is their direct-to-consumer approach. Classically lots of content was produced for the "average" consumer. Netflix can use their subscriber data to cre

Not a stretch at all, it is perfectly reasonable to consider an app and an website embedded by the app as two completely different things. First there is no guarantee the WebView will open to a website owned/operated by the same entity

This is saying "if an app opens a webview, the app can monitor your browsing activity inside that webview." It is written vaguely and should be re-written to be precise, but as they are going for "end user" language here

There is some strange allure for spending time crafting Dockerfiles. IMO it's over glorified - for most situations the juice is not worth the squeeze. As a process for getting stuff done, a standard buildpack will get you a better resu

Sure. Our solution so far has been both simple and pragmatic - the main DB's do not live inside containers. It's a bit of manual ops, but it works for us. All the 'media' in the stacks I am dealing with is minor enough t

Wanted to second that Docker Swarm has been an excellent "middle step" for two different teams I've worked on. IMO too many people disregard it right away, not realizing that it is a significant effort for the average dev to

Passion comment: I'll second that most of Jonathan Levin’s books are outstanding, some of my favorite technical guides. Spent many years as senior dev for a custom Android ROM, yet Levin's book still introduced me to multiple othe

For their objectives, that was undoubtedly a good return on investment. Even ignoring the ROI, the absolute cost seems quite reasonable given the feature set and target market. Someone picked a good CHS or did a good job with avoiding scope

Not who you replied to, but I believe the current popular answer is to refer to Japan. Numerous articles have been written regarding how they managed their housing crisis by deregulating zoning and building permits. You'll have to read

Very in favor of modernizing the definition, very not in favor of subsidizing any network buildout -- if a provider is not offering broadband under the new definition that is not (in my eyes) a problem the government needs to step in to fix

Ha ha I totally feel that. Especially for a high-ticket item, give me a human to talk to!! I can't stand it when support is crippled by "policy" - half the time I think they can't either.

For what it's worth, I have an almost identical experience. Build quality is not good, and every service-center visit leaves you feeling like they are stuffing the service centers with way more issues than the people there can handle.
