Either that call would have to do the same (i.e., walking the files and counting), or you'd need some additional metadata in the directory entry to store how many files there are, requiring additional storage accesses for adding and re

Are there options that don't limit the output power? Typically the light power is limited, so dynamos only provide around 5 W or so, which already makes them not so attractive even for charging your phone on a bike.

They do exist here in Germany as well, mostly in tourist destinations. The map does not show any outside the US, though. OpenStreetMap has 662 of them here.

Also known as banner blindness ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banner_blindness ). I'm genuinely surprised that a UX person doing usability testing (for a website!) has never heard of this. But I guess there's

You can bring the water to a boil and dial back the heat when you add the pasta. Will still cook, but no boiling over. Saves a bit of electricity as well.

Yeah, StreetComplete helps both with adding the data in the first place and then keeping is current, since it will also ask those questions again after a while (which also gives an opportunity to check whether a feature still exists). What&

Well, those things can be added: - opening_hours=* - amenity=cafe - website:menu=* But they can easily become outdated again. Still, local QA via StreetComplete, MapComplete, EveryDoor and a multitude of other apps is alway

There's a companion app, StreetMeasure, that uses Google's AR measuring capability on compatible phones. Personally, I carry a laser distance measure.

The overlays are intentionally a bit hidden, since they're more of a power-user feature and I appreciate that StreetComplete retains beginner-friendliness as a core tenet. But the overlays are indeed awesome for survey-type walks where

Google can cheat a little, especially for new roads since they notice when someone is driving over it. When there was a redesign of an intersection near here, someone marked the road as completed in OSM maybe half an hour after it was opene

Some apps don't edit OSM directly, but rather add a note on the map for others to edit. Maybe that's what they meant. E.g., OrganicMaps often creates these kinds of notes: https://www.openstreetmap.org/note/53

Nota bene: those end up as notes on the map which another mapper has to input manually. There's a lot of spam and dubious entries so I often no longer bother entering them, especially in places I don't know or where I cannot verif

Both this and addresses is something that's really easy to survey with StreetComplete. Google has the benefit of having their own street-level imagery for house numbers and street names, Android devices for real-time traffic info, and

Trucks need a lot more infrastructure in a lot more places than ships, though. I guess that's not often factored in.

This concerns Widerrufsrecht, i.e. the right to cancel an order or contract shortly after signing it. For certain services you also waive this when you get to use it immediately (cellphone service, for example), and for custom-made items it

That only helps with multiplications by statically known word sizes (4x, 8x, etc.) and not arbitrary x·y. It can help with many smaller constant multipliers if the complete is clever, but it has to be known at compile time.

At least from Rostock to somewhat closer destinations you have both options. There's a bi-hourly IC to Hamburg or Berlin and another bi-hourly RE towards the same destinations. They're not terribly different in terms of travel tim
