Why use FHRS as the source rather than OSM? OSM isn't perfect either but for my area at least it seems a lot more comprehensive.

My Claude account was banned the other day. The only possible cause I can think of is that I tried to authenticate from the AI assistant in a JetBrains IDE and, not thinking, enter…

One of the great things about hobbies is that you can enjoy them whatever way you want. But honestly is it not more accurate to say that you are now a hobbyist prompter, rather tha…

> For a program that's minimal it sure takes a long time to start up, the standard C-p and C-n bindings don't work, it doesn't follow the XDG Base Directory Specification and just …

The football itself wasn't bad, it was all the other stuff - prices, unfair treatment for Iran, hydration breaks, the whole Balogun thing, the pre-game and half-time shows at the f…

> the Celts I'm biased because I am Irish and the Celts are "our" ancient people (though not only ours, of course), but I wish they got more focus in popular culture. Newgrange pre…

My favourite game, and I agree that the new content added by the Tamriel Rebuilt is incredible. It is lacking in multiplayer which I expect is a large part of what makes MUDs speci…

Surprisingly, a lot of these recipe websites (even the worst offenders for fluff and ads) have a clean JSON API for getting the recipe directly. I self-host a Mealie instance ( htt…

Interesting that the TOS contains the justification for the rule. That isn't necessarily something I would expect to see in a TOS and leaves the door open for people to dispute the…

The legal and regulatory obstacles to starting a business probably don't help but IMO the bigger issue is trying to break into markets that are dominated by massive global players …

Interesting (and very helpful!) that they keep a list of good brands. I wonder how they judge that - do they just look at ownership?

I think this is unlikely to happen (or at least, be sustained very long) in most games because being a slave to another player doesn't sound very fun. Playing as someone else's vas…

I had a similar thought, that a game in AoE could really represent a localised skirmish involving people from different empires, rather than an actual simulation of the development…

> London and Berlin are just being honest about it giving you open access to the data A small subset of the data. If all London museums were included (such as the British Museum, f…

"hidden" debts and "opaque" funding I seem to read about every other day.

I don't dislike it but I do think it's interesting that a number of minimalist WMs seem to have converged on the idea of code as config. I have used AwesomeWM for years and love it…

Somewhat similar to Tafl games: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tafl_games Similar in that it is asymmetrical, very old, and we don't quite know what the rules were (though with tafl…

When I graduated uni in the late 2010s it was still quite popular. Budget airlines have made trips to southern Europe a lot more popular/feasible for a boozy weekend with mates, bu…

To me it just suggests that the blog is going to explore the topic at a low level, ie, discuss the transmission of bits of data via cables or radio waves, rather than discussing HT…

No issues on FF on Linux here. No crashes or memory leaks as far as I can see.

> NB: Since I'm on GrapheneOS now I haven't looked back Not to suggest GrapheneOS has become the new "standard" given it currently only supports Pixels, but I hear a lot more about…

Why so many Waydroid installs?

I assumed the metro layer was specifically for underground lines, as they won't show up in the normal layer. I just checked for London and the tram lines and stops show up as expec…

With respect, only an American would think that the competition ceases to be interesting just because the US loses. This is already shaping up to be a really interesting WC with or…

A surprise to see Flann O'Brien pop up in the comments. While we're here, I will say that At Swim Two Birds and The Third Policeman are fantastic books, I highly recommend them.
