Comaps works for free with android auto. I did buy OsmAnd a long time ago, but have since used the OsmAnd~ and needed an OSM client for a car. I like OsmAnd because it is very powerful, but comaps is more elegant.

I do something similar, but simpler. E.g., for rolling daily backups, something like ls -l *.backup | mail -s "backup done" me@foo.dk, someoneelse@bar.dk even for successful cron jobs. That way you can check file sizes, timestamps

Pet food might be more lucrative. Or fish food. But it is not a goldmine. Dogs, cats etc have better teeth and like to eat a lot of meat, that humans generally does not eat: rabbit ears, tendons, throats, noses, etc. Insect food is not that

But you would not have had Google in you portfolio. The bubble burst in 2000-2001, Google IPO was in 2004. The S&P500 also did not do very well at the time. That is the problem with bubbles.

That is the problem with this kind of stuff. If it was only used by aging parents it might be OK. But it will be used by everyone. Even if OP manage to somehow prevent abuse, others will just build it themselves. Because why would you want

As someone noted, there is the issue of jurisdiction. But Daigle probably did consider being liable and what would be morally justified. It must have been tempting to try to use the Catwatchful app to notify the victims that they are being

In my experience, OsmAnd is mostly slow for very long routes. Maybe it is a matter of quality. Because of course you can find routes fast if they are not the fastest or best routes. But there is room for improvement. brouter could be integr

It it not just because of underlying OSM data. Navigation apps such as OrganicMaps and OsmAnd filter OSM data, and package it in way that takes up less space. I.e., it will omit individual trees, manholes, etc. It also omits tags from OSM o

Yes, and I use or have used them all. The wikimedia app could be improved a lot to support OSM. It is a bit of a hassle to take a picture, upload it to commons, then add both categories and concepts, then open an OSM editor, find the object

It seems to me that Mozilla is gambling with the privacy of their users. The gamble might be worth it, even though I do not think so. But even if it somehow was a good gamble, that it not how Free Software projects should work. Free softwar

yes. I do outdoor sports, mostly rowing. My phone is not that waterproof, I will not risk dropping it in the water. I would not be able to use anyway. I really like to do things without bringing a phone. Plus the whole privacy issue.

I especially find veterinary homeopathy troublesome. How would placebo even work here? Maybe the owners of dogs and cats believe that their pets are having less pains.

Something is not working. Tried Danish-Dutch names. Most suggestions are not Danish at all. Some of those e.g., Coen, Derk, Gerbrand in the "Usage of X in different languages / cultures" only has a checkmark for Dutch.

plus these individual devices will live for a long time. I recently had to setup a non-encrypted website because I have a few old devices that can no longer do HTTPS. IPv4 on local networks will probably exist for a very long time.

But is it the most efficient way to ensure that level of quality? PR-s influence the same code, so it is not enough to review PR-s individually anyway. Maybe a weekly or monthly release would be a better unit for evaluation. We have all kin
