No need to scrape Open Food Facts, they kindly offer a download of the whole database as csv, rdf or mongodb dump: https://world.openfoodfacts.org/data It is 100% crowd sourced open data under the ODbL licence (same as Open

Hello SoloX5. Open Food Facts contributor here. I absolutely love examine.com. Would any of your data be reusable under some open license or is it a strictly proprietary database?

You're right lucb1e: OSM is definitely good enough to replace proprietary sources (aka Google Maps) for this use-case in the Netherlands... ...but the Netherlands and Denmark are the only two countries I know of where addresses data ha

Web version unusable on a 7" android tablet (1280x800): the left side of the gaming area is out of the screen, neither scrolling nor resizing seem allowed. Same problem in landscape and portrait mode.

I don't have any hard data, but I would guess a majority of the users of the Latex+Dropbox combo are not on Windows. All those various nix users will not find any useful meat in this post. It would have been nice to submit it under a titl

Of course it is crazy. So what? I did it 7 months ago. Leaved what had become a 350 people company to start a new project. Back to square one. Not a single regret. I for one like the timing: First, most blue chips are now completely focuse

My main point was that the ruggedness and superior build quality of Thinkpads used to have limited drawbacks: they were at worst 10 to 20% heavier than alternatives (and sometimes even lighter, like the 560 around 1995). Not so anymore, es

I used to think so... and I was (like you) thinking that my (6.77 pounds) T61 was "lightweight". I finaly replaced it by a Portégé R500 (my first non-Thinkpad laptop in years). Less screen real estate (12"1), obviously not as rugged and stu

Light as you can get AND linux friendly: that's exactly what I was looking for. I am now the very happy owner of a sub-2 pounds, Ubuntu certified, 12.1" laptop for 6 month, and that the best notebook choice I ever made. Right choice for me
