Isn't OSM a major data source for Apple Maps? Edit: I checked, the OSM wiki actually has a page about it [1] [1] https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple

I may have missed it in the article, but it's worth mentioning that IBMs involvement was so substantial that they actually created a metal for him. > Thomas Watson was more than just a businessman selling boxes to the Third Reich. F

Time machine doesn't need to mean seeing deleted comments. I think it would be neat if you could see what the front-page look like at certain times.

I thought you are limited in the languages they permit, the fastest of which being Go.

I never looked into how NewPipeExtractor worked, I guess a hint was in the name.

For YouTube I've used NewPipe, which is absolutely fantastic (apart from occasional breakage due to API changes)

I would happily pay 15¢ or so per site to bypass captchas if it were done in a way that would preserve my privacy. Has something like this ever been offered?

The thing that made the difference for me is the hinting, it's an absolute game changer on lower resolution screens.

Haskell has a language extension that does the same thing [1]. Now all you need is a keyboard with good unicode coverage [2]. [1] https://wiki.haskell.org/Unicode-symbols [2] https://4.bp.blogspot.com/_EKfCI

Whilst I find Dang's goals admirable, this isn't a discussion in the abstract about surveillance technology but instead a discussion about the misuse of said technology by an institution has historically committed genocide and con

I've long been advocating prison abolition, a component of which is police abolition. When discussing such matters I often will ask people what measurable line in the sand must be crossed for them to believe sweeping systemic change is

I'm stunned that people are having a hard time getting accountability from a police department known for having a “black site” where they routinely tortured suspects. If only there was some sort of sign that these people can't be

Mozilla worked on this a while ago with SpiderNode but it is no longer maintained. It was actually based on Microsoft's work to do the same thing with ChakraCore.

Screenshots [1] If I had to describe it, I'd say it visually shows you your current git status and lets you manipulate it using an interface that provides a thin wrapper around git commands. It provides all the functionality of git in

Good god that was exhausting. I think no matter where you stand you're glad it's over.

I don't think that made what I said any less true. Obviously I'm not saying that Facebook is flagging people to be put in concentration camps or doing anything akin to that. What I am saying is that our industry has been complicit

Following in the proud tradition of IBM I see [1] and Facebook [2][3]. At this point it may be worth considering creating a professional code of ethics saying something about genocide being bad. [1] https://www.amazon.com/IB

If news is just going to tell me what I already know and regurgitate what I already think, why bother reading it? Am I really more informed in a meaningful way if all I'm viewing is a carefully manicured slice of reality designed to ke

There are different types of boring. When I read The Economist, I find their writing unchallenging, never broadening my worldview or making me rethink my preconceived notions. Good journalism and opinion writing isn't boring, it's

For the sake of discussion, I think it's worth throwing Amazon in the ring.

I understand that it is impossible to prove a negative, but at the same time given the scope of the surveillance dragnet I'd hope they'd have something they could point to. At this point I would even circumstantial evidence as to

They're a private SigInt agency, so they're very helpful, but only if you're up to no good. It's one of those things that shouldn't be allowed to exist, let alone be in private hands.

If humanity is going to survive the next few decades with a quality of life even remotely resembling what we have now, we'll need to stop looking at the pocket book for a short while.

I remember there being an archive that indexed a random stream of numbers from which you could download a range of random bytes, the idea being theoretically everything can be found within the dataset. I think it was done in protest of copy
