Last I checked, not with StreetComplete. But the OSM wiki has a table of Android apps https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Android which column "Record tracks" can be sorted by, to …

I always doubt statistics based on self-reporting, when there are such strong incentives not to be caught supporting the opposition. If you say the wrong thing, you may get prison,…

It lets developers on Windows also build and test your package in parallel mode. If you make your build scripts bash, they're Linux-only.

There's context. Hank Green talked about it in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zi0ogvPfCA , but in short, paraphrasing, and adding my own thoughts: Jimmy Wales has been poked at w…

I would have expected at least some consideration of public perception, given the extremely negative opinions many people hold about LLMs being trained on stolen data. Whether it's…

I use unwrap a lot, and my most frequent target is unwrapping the result of Mutex::lock. Most applications have no reasonable way to recover from lock poisoning, so if I were force…

Could you elaborate on what those "maybe more powerful reasons" are?

Such people should perhaps consider a ceramic-bladed knife. They stay sharp basically forever because the blade is extremely hard, with the downside that it's not repairable with o…

Why does this stupid idea have to be killed so many times? Being watched constantly means living in fear, but seeing it almost become legally mandated practice over and over again …

Does that mean your code is annotated with 300+ instances of `#[allow(clippy::unwrap_used)]` et al?

Cars break too, but roads for cars are typically constructed such that you won't go off a cliff or under a heavier vehicle like a train even if it happens. I believe GP's point is …

It sounds like you should read the docs. It's just a subject-specific abbreviation, not an advertising trick.

I believe the post you're replying to is making a joke, referencing a classic complaint/meme that "Linux is only free if your time has no value".

For completeness, a critique of Uxn (and other "simpler" computing stacks): https://applied-langua.ge/posts/i-dont-want-to-go-to-chel-c.... This HN discussion about this critique i…

Would you feel similarly if you went to a casino and won at roulette, only for the casino to claim that there was sand in the bearings or something and refuse to pay out your winni…

Fully dynamic connectivity on general graphs comes to mind. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_connectivity (Graphs, with operations to connect and disconnect nodes, and to ch…

More than 0$, so definitely more than they're willing to lose in a Mexican court case that costs money and reputation, especially given the local courts are unlikely to rule in the…

> It was acquired by IBM in March 2015, and the service was discontinued. — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blekko Perhaps GP has a more interesting answer though.

My favourite cursed XOR trick that I think wasn't mentioned is XOR doubly-linked lists. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/XOR_linked_list Instead of each node storing the next- and p…

Run a memtest. Graphics cards usually crash badly when given invalid data, which can happen sporadically if you have bad RAM. If memtest shows a specific memory region as failing, …

If you kick someone out, you lose them as a customer, and they'll tell all their friends about the free play trick out of spite, so you'll have to patch the machine anyway.

Could you elaborate on why that works, or why it's necessary?

Has that really changed recently? Different people have always enjoyed different things, and some don't like puzzles. That was as true a hundred years ago as now.

To clarify how flagging works on HN: Flagging only hides a comment once "enough" users flag it, and even then remains visible to users with the showdead option set in their profile…

Parody is fair use, and this is part of a submission to SIGBOVIK 2024. http://tom7.org/bovex/ It's also clearly not competing with the original, since its contents are partially no…
