I was recently recommended https://api.transitous.org (it's a webapp despite the domain). It can do things like "someone can pick me up on the far side and I don't mind walking 30 minutes at the start at 6 km&#x2F

The website has no open data license so this isn't usable for OSM, even if we wanted to. I just meant to propose collaborating on an existing platform where we already have a lot of data about physical features, rather than erecting an

More than 200 hotels already on this website. Wouldn't this be much more useful as an OpenStreetMap tag so people can find and share these good/bad hotels in whatever front-end they like? There does not seem to be a tag for it yet

Or if you need records other than A/AAAA, like MX for delivering email: https://anyz.one e.g. 10.2.3.4.anyz.one will refer the recursive resolver to query 10.2.3.4 for the answer to the query. You can also buy a domain and

Was wondering what you meant so I looked up "the innerhtml problem" and the top result indeed does list quite a few issues with appending to innerHTML that can be easily avoided. For anyone else interested: https://stac

I knew changing innerHTML had some side effects, but this answer shows just how many corner cases it causes and offers a drop-in replacement at least for appending. Thought other developers on this site would also be interested to learn thi

Taken to an extreme without formatting, sure, but what ranges have that many digits in human-readable situations? And if there are those exception situations, you can word around it for that case ("285368760800±45691" or "45&

I don't understand. Opening the page in a logged-out state, it looks the same to me (just that there are not buttons to pick whether you want to raise/lower/block a domain when you're logged out). What's the diffe

If only it was merely useless. I know its reputation but it had some information that MDN did not have, so I used it this once in recent years. Turned out, the information was simply wrong and so I made a wrong decision based on that. (It m

Is this meaning to grep for a double hyphen from standard in, or to mark the start of positional arguments and then grep for a hyphen? If you want both, it should be: $ python -m this | grep -- -- - Which is just beautiful (Your ex

It is usually clear that 2-3 thingies means a range of thingies, but I seem to remember there being situations where it could also have been a minus sign. Perhaps it was with placeholders, where 10-N could be either one. Problem is, iirc,
